And of course I figured out layer weights after I did the earlier diorama, so this is how the flower was meant to look in that. #blender #blender3d #3dart

Funny how some dwarves will hate/get bad thoughts from seeing rats, but this will never happen with demon rats. In fact, "some dwarves like demon rats for their insidious nature and their diabolical hunger for the food of others." (from the DF wiki) #dwarffortress #rat #fantasy

First attempt at a diorama today. Volumetric lighting is fun as always. #blender #blender3d #3dart

Warpy tunnel... Thing. More futzing with the compositor. #blender #blender3d #3dart

New video! It shares two effective ways to protect yourself from Blender-related malicious scripts and executables. youtu.be/VPrDtEo0Wfk #b3d #Blender3d

"Fiber Optic" vec3 p;for(float z,d,i;i++<7e1;z+=d,o+=.1*(cos(z+sin(p.z)+vec4(6,1,2,0))+1.2)/d/z)p=z*normalize(FC.rgb*2.-r.xyy),p.z-=t/.1,d=.01+.5*length(vec2(cos(atan(p.y,p.x)*5.+.2*p.z)+.5,length(p.xy+sin(p.z*.2+vec2(0,1)))-5.));o=tanh(o);

Every piece of art you make teaches you something. This one taught me to remember the compositor exists. #blender #blender3d #3dart

Yup. One thing I've had to learn is that while we all make mistakes, it's better to feel the pain of embarrassment when we realize "...Shit, I fucked up, didn't I?" If we deny it's there, it means denying we messed up. And that just opens the door to making the same mistakes all over again.

Good morning✌️🍀

Cables in the dark. #blender #blender3d #3dart

Fuck you. *solves your default cube*

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

"Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels." arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872

More 'Make something' output. Not the most subtle message I admit. #blender #blender3d #3dart

ON TOP of the ethical reasons to not use AI, it's also 1) bad at what it does 2) literally makes you stupider 3) has HUGE environmental costs: every search is equivalent to pouring out an entire bottle of water. It's not worth it to generate a cutesy emoji or have it write an error-riddled draft.

Mmm, Volumetric Lighting... #blender #blender3d #3dart

Realizing now I can post this to bluesky so it loops nicely instead of linking to a youtube video. The bisexual power crystal. #blender #blender3d #3dart #bipride

Geometry nodes are cool. #blender #blender3d #3dart

More geonode tutorials. More understanding. More funky motion waves with gradients. #blender #blender3d #3dart

I wish more developers defaulted the master volume of their demos to 50% (OR LOWER) so that first time shader compilation is not an orchestra that blows out my ear drums. Good selection of demos this go around though. #NextFest

Honestly not even sure what to say about this one. #blender #blender3d #3dart

Another angle of the ring loop I posted recently, with adjusted colors and a corona around the sphere. #blender #blender3d #3dart
