@khtrammell Hype train! outstanding Kent!

The #HUMAN course trailer is here! youtu.be/EjooUzJEiuY

@khtrammell Really great work Kent! You've been on a roll lately.

Almost done recording the pore-detail chapter of my #b3d portrait course! I'm feeling really good about the 9+ hours of video so far. Likely another 9+ more to go 😬 I'm nerding out hard on this one.

Visual Scripting Addon coming soon to a @blendermarket near you! #b3d

@khtrammell Fantastic work Kent! You've definitely leveled up with this one 👍

I'm calling this one done: Portraits of Simon #b3d #portrait

@3DBystedt Really great work Daniel! 👍🏼

I had the honor to make the splash screen for the upcoming Blender 2.90. I tried to keep the creepiness to a minimum for all the Blender kids out there 😉 #b3d

@khtrammell Great work kent! 👍

Skin texture + shader progress. Hand-painted color and a couple variations of random walk SSS mixed together. Facial hair is next! #b3d #portrait

@khtrammell This should work. Object -> Apply (ctrl-A) -> Make Instances Real

I should clarify: I have a complex model file where individual parts are linked in by their respective collections. I want to make all linked collections AND their contained objects to be made local as if I appended the collection.

#b3d question: Does anyone know how to make linked collections local to the assembly .blend file? Object > Relations > Make Local doesn't seem to do anything..

@rafagrassetti Welcome aboard Raf! 😋 twitter.com/ChrisWillC/sta…

Ok I’m learning Blender this week..

@pablodp606 Fantastic!

Sculpt Vertex Colors, the new vertex painting system, is now in Blender 2.90. The initial commit includes a new brush engine, smooth and smear brushes, color filter, new color picker, voxel remesher support and data conversion utilities. #b3d #devfund developer.blender.org/D5975

Probably the most important milestone in Sculpt Mode so far. Blender 2.90 has smooth detail propagation and unsubdivide in Multires. You can now import files, sculpt in all subdivision levels and use all tools to deform high resolution meshes preserving the details. #b3d #devfund

Here's a sneak peek at IR's AeonX 4D scan data processed using R3DS Wrap4D(Beta)! Captured with our 56x machine vision 60fps system (50GB/s!) The system is designed to capture human subjects for machine learning applications and VFX! vimeo.com/413146149

@Intervain Amazing, welcome to the club! 👏

I have decided that the only poly modeling software on my computer is going to be Blender. I've uninstalled all else [except for Zbrush obviously] and I'll just brute force my sorry arse through this learning process ... no excuses...

New operator to create simple subdivisions in Multires. With this feature, Catmull-Clark and Simple subdivisions can be combined in any order to sculpt on hard surface objects without manually smoothing the edges. #b3d #devfund developer.blender.org/D7415

Multires Unsubdivide can rebuild all subdivision levels and displacements of basically anything. It works on meshes with non-manifolds, triangles, ngons, disconnected elements, and all triangles topology. #b3d #devfund developer.blender.org/D7372

Pose Brush Scale Mode With this new deformation mode for the Pose Brush you can easily change the general proportions of a mesh. It works like the regular Pose Brush, so it does not need any setup, masking or transform manipulators. #b3d #devfund developer.blender.org/D7374

The Pose Brush now works on full character models with clothing and props in different meshes. Everything is calculated in real time across all meshes. You just need to define a maximum distance to affect extra elements when deforming the base mesh. #b3d #devfund

New operator to initialize all Face Sets in a mesh at once. It can create different Face Sets by mesh connectivity, material slots, face normals, UV seams, edge creases, sharp edges, edge bevel weights and face maps. #b3d #devfund developer.blender.org/D7209

@MaxPuliero Yeah, it would be nice to have in cycles 🤪

found the answer in the Arnold page that says: Randomwalk v2 This method scatters more accurately and deeply through highly-transparent/ optically-thin objects, which produces SSS with more saturated colors around fine surface detail and heavily backlit regions of an object.

in Arnold what's the difference between Randomwalk and Randomwalk v2? thank you.

Face Sets, the new visibility management system for Sculpt Mode, is now in Blender 2.83 #b3d #devfund developer.blender.org/rB38d6533f212b…

@AlanNoon Haha thanks Alan!
