WHAT ARE ACTION SLOTS? Before Action Slots, each data-block specific animation—like an object’s position, a camera’s depth of field, or a material’s shader properties—needed its own separate Action. This made it difficult to animate multiple elements together or share animations between objects or even projects. For example, if you wanted to animate a camera moving while also changing its depth of field, you’d need two separate Actions, which couldn’t be easily linked or reused. Now you can mix all sorts of animations such as an object’s position, its material properties, even compositing effects—all within a single Action.

Blender 4.4 has been released!

Slotted Actions are now a thing. And they're here to stay :)

Flatterer Flat mesh to SVG exporter for laser cutters

I just released a new version of my Blender add-on Flatterer. It's my go-to tool for my laser cutter projects.

It has a bunch of fixes, and some quite useful operators for adding boolean operators.

I'll often hear my toddler in the distance say "I broke it". Then quickly follow up with a "I fixed it". And honestly, I don't believe him.
