Just updated my Animated Render Border add-on to work with Blender 2.80: blendermarket.com/products/anima… #b3d #Blender3d #b280 twitter.com/RayMairlot/sta…

In Blender 5.2 LTS, rendering scenes with many image textures is much more memory efficient thanks to Cycles Texture Cache. code.blender.org/2026/05/cycles… #b3d #Cycles

#GeometryNodes will have a new Sample Sound Frequencies node in Blender 5.2. It allows creating animations and simulations based on audio data without having to use non-procedural workarounds. #b3d #devfund

@itseieio Made this a while ago in Blender x.com/i/status/14935…

A long requested feature, blender now supports multi-line text boxes in the UI: projects.blender.org/blender/blende… #b3d #blender3D [📸 Screenshot by Guillermo Venegas]

@FIEND___ @Blender If you keep getting that error why don't you report it? From within Blender Help> Report a Bug.

Your Blender 5.1 just got better! 🚀 🐞 Blender 5.1.1 addresses 71 issues found in the initial release. As usual with corrective releases, it is highly recommended to update. 📖 Changelog: developer.blender.org/docs/release_n… 👉 Download at blender.org/download #b3d

You can now block grok from modifying your images! Go on mobile > create post > edit photo > press the little flag button and it will be there!

Finally got the Geometry Nodes modifier UI showing correctly in a pop up with Python thanks to the new 'is_input_visible' and 'is_input_used' methods added by Alex Tkachyov. projects.blender.org/blender/blende… Still can't draw regular modifiers completely correctly. #b3d #Blender3D #bpy

Previously it was possible to draw all the inputs but you couldn't tell if the input was visible (as unused inputs are hidden in the modifier UI). Regular modifiers still have this problem, in that you can draw them all but you can't tell if they should be visible or in panels.

@Cartesian_C I don't know if you have a background in programming, but how did you find it, getting into Blender's code? I found it a bit too labyrinthine to get into.

Changing Eevee Next's noise code #b3d #shader

Science experiment props. #b3d #blender3D #Cycles

More random props: Bird statue, golf bag, carnivorous plant, toy guillotine. #b3d #blender3D #Cycles

Don't know why I didn't think of posting pictures of all the props I've been making for months... anyway, here's today's offering. #b3d #blender3D #Cycles

Hourglass, roller skates, chessboard and orrery props. (At various scales to fit them in the picture.) #b3d #blender3D #Cycles
