that's awesome!! I hadn't considered that node could be used for this.

Thank You!! ^^ Really happy to hear that the details come though! I'm using a lens distortion node for the blur effect, and animating the dispersion factor, One of my favorite compositing tricks!

Thank you!! ^^

Im playing around with converting some of my curve array modifier setups to geonodes, seeing what more I can do with them ^^

Me. Its for me.

seriously, I use this feature. I put boolien objects and control objects for geonodes and modifiers in their own collections. It makes them easier to toggle visibility for adjustments.

I was looking at the amazing color photos shot by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky in the 1910s and I noticed a very interesting detail.

moving objects are in different places as each color is captured, which results this odd chromatic ghosting effect.

it sounds like you want a mix node? if you use a mix node with the alpha routed to factor you can an "alpha over".

there is also the mix shader node, if you have the whole shader set up already. it's used the same way, but placed just before the output

Im still active! I think the community is relatively active, generally nice. Do you have the blender feed? it picks up everything tagged with blender and there is always activity

This is also how I would do the breath, but blender is a composting app! no need for resolve.

the new guy is currently the COO, and has been running blender day to day for some time, so it shouldn't really be a big change

Blender has autosave! Its under file-> recover

You can also increase the number of undo steps in the settings menu, (ctrl+.)

Simple geonodes setups can save lots of time modeling.

There are some really cool (free) bundled addons/extentions

And the compositor makes every render look better.

yeah, its very hard to teach (or learn) blender if you have changed the keybindings.

29.11.2025 17:38 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yes, I do. Rarely in the view-port, but constantly in the outliner.

I don't ever lift my hand from the mouse tho. All keyboard commands I type one handed.
