🚀 LightPainter 1.0.9 is out! What's new: * Reworked brush falloff logic — behavior across the Hardness range now feels much more distinct, especially along stroke edges, and closely matches Photoshop. * "Fill Color" now respects active selection — it'll fill only inside the selection. Previously the selection was ignored for this option. #b3d #blender3d #blenderaddon #lightpainter #3dlighting #cgi

After 4 months of hard work, my Blender add-on is finally out of beta! Paint light directly in the viewport like you paint in Photoshop. No nodes, no wiring, no hassle. #blender #b3d

@Centri_Storm Hey! I’ve just released a new version of the add-on. It includes new features and fixes for several bugs. Don’t forget to update it 😀

@ShaderError I will, thank you

@ShaderError I am trying to run Light Painter after purchasing the plugin. Python: Traceback: lightpainter.py, line 2351 in invoke if not _build_shadow_mask(context) line 1164, in _build_shadow_mask shader = get_mask_shader() line 934, in get_mask_shader _shader_mask = gpu.shader.create_from_info(info)

@Centri_Storm HI! I’ve just released the full version of the add-on. Could you please download and give it a try? Let me know how it goes, and if you still run into same problems

@ShaderError Thank you

@InterceptoV Thanks! I hope people find it useful — debugging geometry gets so much easier when you can actually visualize it :)

@ShaderError Great idea!

The new add-on for previewing geometry nodes in Blender is almost ready. I just need a bit more time for extra polishing. As promised, you can now preview not only the geometry output by a node, but also the incoming attributes. #blender3d #geometrynodes

I’ve been working on a new add-on that preview Geometry Nodes output. Still a WIP, and I wanna make it as useful as possible — so let me know what you think! #blender #b3d

The free Lite version of Node Preview has been released! Here's the link: blendermarket.com/creator/produc…

The Lite version of Shader View is coming... simpler, yet 10x more affordable! #Blender3D #b3d #BlenderAddons #BlenderShader #VFX

ShaderView Add-on now goes beyond just visual previews — it provides precise numerical insights into your shader node calculations. No more guesswork when dealing with clamped values or invisible data ranges! youtu.be/vtq1K-BUFYg #blender3d #b3d #shader

Released a new feature for the Shader View add-on! Now you can preview scalar values directly from math-related nodes by selecting the Value socket. It doesn’t clamp results to [0-1] and maintains high precision. Now you can truly see what’s happening with your Math nodes! #b3d

@_ndyart Hey, sorry about that! I recently fixed many bugs related to Windows OS. Try to update the add-on to version 1.0.13, I think that should solve the issue. Let me know if it doesn't work!

@ShaderError Hello! I'm getting a red box with 'Rendering error', in Blender 4.3. Any ideas on how to fix this? I have colleagues that are using it in Blender 4.2, and it looks amazing!

Finally made my first Blender add-on — Shader View! 🎉 It shows real-time previews right above shader nodes, so no more switching to material output just to check things. Works fast, even with big node trees. If you try it, let me know what you think. 😄 #blender #b3d #shader

@unofficialreach Whoa, that’s awesome! Let me know if you run into anything or have ideas to make it even better. 🔥

@ShaderError Just purchased, love it!

You can find the complete shader code for Godot at this link: godotshaders.com/shader/simulat…

A simple method to simulate shadows from clouds, particularly suitable for isometric games. #GodotEngine #shader #clouds #gamedev

The final tweak involves adjusting the strength of the shadows when they are overlapped by the cloud shadow. And with that, we're done!

The easiest way to deal with shadow blur is to add extra param to our sampling function for directional shadows. And we will modify the sample_directional_pcf_shadow() function by adjusting the blur_factor param (in the scene_forward_lights_inc.glsl)
