Hi! #b3d

Exercise I did today, modeling and rendering a low profile keyboard.

Render in Cycles.

Blender Foundation and the online developer community proudly present Blender 4.5 LTS!

Vulkan, faster EEVEE, improved compositor, Geometry Nodes, nearly 500 bugs fixed, and so, so much more.

Hopefully it'll have less bugs, in Ubuntu 24.10 the XP-Pen tablet wasn't working properly, not sure if it was the driver but the cursor kept freezing in some apps. Didn't tried in 25.04 yet though.

You can also find a completely free .blend with some assets from that project on my website.

On the BASEMESH course I cover the same workflow that I've used on the Witch project. Feel free to ask any questions about the project anyway.

Our friend @lucasfalcao3d.bsky.social breaks down how he creates his 3d characters with Blender, fast.

Using a basemesh is the way to go (the pros do it, too).

Hey! Passing by to share my newest artwork, using the theme of something that I'm really enjoy to do, which is bikepacking.

Created @blender.org and render done in Cycles.

The tutorial you're mentioning is the Basemesh course?

Hey Mark, this work is basically using the same techniques from the course.

Is there any specific part you would like I've breakdown for you? Please let me know.

Flow

Congratulations to @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social and the entire Flow film crew for the Academy Award win!

Flow is the manifestation of Blender’s mission, where a small independent team is able to create a story that moves audiences worldwide.

Thank you for the shout out! 🧡 #b3d

Character finished, maybe I'll adjust the colors and change some small details. I used the same workflow from the BASEMESH course, everything was done inside Blender.

This week I've start working on the character, can't wait to see her riding the bike.

I really enjoy creating materials and textures in Blender.

#b3d

Yep, it's a render. I've created everything in Blender and the render was done using Cycles.

Thank you!

Bike is finished...

#b3d #cycles #gravelbike

Flow is making a splash! Our cat will be greeting everyone who opens Blender 4.4! Thank you so much to Blender for creating and releasing such an incredible tool for free to everyone! We couldn't have made Flow without it!

Another update on the bike, hopefully I'll have time to finish it until the end of this week.

Feel free to comment or ask any questions.

Starting a new project, this time about bikes.

When I found out any issues in Blender I check the following items.

- Scale/Rotation
- Face Orientation
- Origin
- Modifiers
- Duplicated Vertices

Do you have any checklist to fix things in Blender?

And here is the software selection I've installed.

- Blender (daily work)
- Plasticity (3d print modeling)
- PrusaSlicer (3d printing)
- Rambox (communication)
- Todoist (keep track of tasks)
- Obsidian (notes)

At the beginning of the year I like to review my setup, so I've installed the latest Ubuntu 24.10. I was using Pop OS for a long time and it's great, but I really liked the more modern interface of Ubuntu and decided to give a try, it's been working great so far.

Been working on this pose last few days, just to have some fun with this guy. Used Rigify and since it's not animated I've fixed/improved some parts here and there using Shape Keys.

Hope you like it and more information about the BASEMESH course on the link below. 👇

3d cartoony black bird in his house

closeup of said cartoon blackbird

closeup of house details; kitchen, fridge… I forgot to make an oven. whoops.

blackbird’s house, #3dart I made last year in cinema4D, rendered with octane render

Unfortunately there is no optimization tips, I just showed how I usually create the hair and it renders very fast on my hardware.

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X (16) @ 3.800GH
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER

I'm happy to help if you want show me your setup.
