Einführung in Blender : #Blender #3d …

Einführung in Blender
Das 3D-Programm Blender hat so viele Optionen, daß ein einziger Artikel dem unmöglich gerecht werden kann. Hier versuche ich, zumindest einen ersten Einstieg…

Freie 3D-Software Blender 4.5: visuell programmieren und effizient rendern
Das 3D-Programm Blender 4.5 ist erschienen. Es bringt Langzeitunterstützung bis 2027, verbesserte Node-Bedienung und soll effizienter rendern als der Vorgänger.

Sauft den armen Japanern und Japanerinnen also nicht den ganzen #Matcha weg, gopf! 🙄
Wenn es grün sein muss, könnt Ihr ja Broccoli in den Blender tun. 😅

Matcha statt Kaffee? Was das grüne Pulver wirklich kann
Matcha gilt als sanfter Wachmacher und Gesundheits-Booster – doch wie fundiert sind diese Versprechen wirklich?

Interesting thing about tomorrow's tarot show, rendering now, is that I upgraded from Blender 4.0 to blender 4.4 and it's quite a bit nicer to look at the timeline editor.
Was sad to find that the render time was up though. From about 3 seconds per frame usually to more like 12!?
Trying it with an old version I see that the lights and textures look way better with 4.4 than 4.0 though. A substantial step up in the way the show looks without me even doing anything other than waiting four times longer per frame.
Seems to be heavily dependent upon lighting now. The slow frames are like 12 seconds but the fast frames with minimal lighting and close up on the video are more like 2.
Looks too beautiful now to go back though. Upgraded my cloud-remote render machines too. We will render on four machines tonight. FOUR! The power of it all.
g3.4xlarge is no faster than g3.large but g6.xlarge seems to be twice the speed.
But hard to be sure really coz of the massive variance in time depending on the lighting.
Anyway, great show coming tomorrow. Sometimes I wonder what the hell I'm trying to do with it but tomorrow's show is the answer. Hide the angry bitter political rant behind a strange CGI tarot show. When the rant comes together well I like it.

Blender Studio Releases Free New Game 'Dogwalk' to Showcase Its Open Source Godot Game Engine - Slashdot
"Steam quietly welcomed another indie game this week, but this one is distinctly different for a lot of reasons," writes Notebookcheck: Dogwalk, which debuted on July 11, is the kind of short, gentle experience that almost forces you to smile. Developed by Blender Studio, the game introduces playe...

Been making noise in Reason, and animating in Blender and After Effects.
Just an artifact of my ongoing growth and progress - about a minute long.
I didn't intend it to sound like the B-52's, but ended up sounding something like they would sound if Gene Belcher (Son of Bob) joined the band.
#noAI #reason

I stayed at a hotel and had this idea for a game where you need to steal food from a buffet while the waitresses and waiters are roaming around. Top-down view, with the staff's angle of view made visible. It would be a project where I could look at #GodotEngine, maybe try some pixel art or Blender.
It's already clear that I won't ever find the time to tackle this. But it'…

I broke my parents blender trying to make this and now they are mad at me

BlenderFusion: 3D-Grounded Visual Editing and Generative Compositing

BlenderFusion: 3D-Grounded Visual Editing and Generative Compositing
We present BlenderFusion, a generative visual compositing framework that synthesizes new scenes by recomposing objects, camera, and background. It follows a layering-editing-compositing pipeline: (i) segmenting and converting visual inputs into editable 3D entities (layering), (ii) editing them in Blender with 3D-grounded control (editing), and (iii) fusing them into a coherent scene using a generative compositor (compositing). Our generative compositor extends a pre-trained diffusion model to …

DO HO SUH: WALK THE HOUSE. This is startlingly good. Really worth a trip to see the exhibition at Tate Modern, if you are anywhere near. It's rare to come across innovative modern art that is so soothing, not shocking or disturbing. These rooms are all made from thin, translucent fabric held up on wire frame, complete with all the familiar fittings.

Diving into Godot for some personal projects, and getting my 3D pipeline sorted out and man... the Blender to Godot pipeline is so nice. Just being able to straight up save .blend files complete with modifiers and the like and have it work so seamlessly in Godot is just... (chef's kiss)

I like to take the blender splash screen and re-render for my monitor resolution to use them as backgrounds.

Me: I want to make a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich but I don’t have any mayonnaise.
Literally two minutes later, I have made some excellent mayo. People should make more mayo at home. Kenji’s method is practically fool proof.

Two-Minute Mayonnaise Recipe
Using an immersion blender, you end up with a cup full of creamy, perfectly emulsified, real-deal, better-than-anything-you-can-buy mayonnaise.

Working at Microsoft right now must be like trying to code inside a blender. Just fucking brutal.

This reminds me of the old toy Mr Peanut peanut butter maker…

Sea-Undistort: A Dataset for Through-Water Image Restoration in High Resolution Airborne Bathymetric Mapping
Accurate image-based bathymetric mapping in shallow waters remains challenging due to the complex optical distortions such as wave induced patterns, scattering and sunglint, introduced by the dynamic water surface, the water column properties, and solar illumination. In this work, we introduce Sea-Undistort, a comprehensive synthetic dataset of 1200 paired 512x512 through-water scenes rendered in Blender. Each pair comprises a distortion-free and a distorted view, featuring realistic water effe…

MMS Player: an open source software for parametric data-driven animation of Sign Language avatars
This paper describes the MMS-Player, an open source software able to synthesise sign language animations from a novel sign language representation format called MMS (MultiModal Signstream). The MMS enhances gloss-based representations by adding information on parallel execution of signs, timing, and inflections. The implementation consists of Python scripts for the popular Blender 3D authoring tool and can be invoked via command line or HTTP API. Animations can be rendered as videos or exported…

MeshCoder: LLM-Powered Structured Mesh Code Generation from Point Clouds
Reconstructing 3D objects into editable programs is pivotal for applications like reverse engineering and shape editing. However, existing methods often rely on limited domain-specific languages (DSLs) and small-scale datasets, restricting their ability to model complex geometries and structures. To address these challenges, we introduce MeshCoder, a novel framework that reconstructs complex 3D objects from point clouds into editable Blender Python scripts. We develop a comprehensive set of exp…

LL3M: Large Language 3D Modelers
We present LL3M, a multi-agent system that leverages pretrained large language models (LLMs) to generate 3D assets by writing interpretable Python code in Blender. We break away from the typical generative approach that learns from a collection of 3D data. Instead, we reformulate shape generation as a code-writing task, enabling greater modularity, editability, and integration with artist workflows. Given a text prompt, LL3M coordinates a team of specialized LLM agents to plan, retrieve, write,…
