Let it create chaos!

But seriously, for puppeteering it's been a big issue that Blender would always loop. Just stopping at the end frame helps a lot, there.

Screenshot of Blender's "Playback" popover menu. It now has a Loop menu, with options "Infinite", "Stop at End Frame", "Stop at Start Frame", "Restore Frame", and "Bounce".

Loop control coming to Blender 5.2!

Now you finally have control over playback looping. Loop infinitely, or stop it at the end, at the start, or restore where you started playback from. And the most fun one: make it bounce!

Odido-router verzamelt analytics van je huishouden Je Odido-router stuurt analytics-data over apparaten in je huis naar het bedrijf Lifemote. Dit vond ik gisteren tijdens een onderzoeksprojectje om mijn eigen WAN-verkeer te mitm'en.

De mensen van Odido ("Onze Data Is Daar Onveilig") lijken details over al je apparaten in huis door te sturen naar het bedrijf Lifemote, wat de boel dan met AI beter zou moeten maken. Details:

Solid metal statue of Suzanne the Blender Monkey in a happy dance, arms over her head, standing on one foot. She's standing on the default cube, with the Blender logo on it.

I'm celebrating 10 years of being employed by Blender!

And after 10y, you don't get a watch, but something way cooler: a heavy metal (literally) statue of Suzanne 😻

Here's to many more years of being a small part in this awesome project! 🍻🥳

Use Alt+F to flip the quaternion, that'll make the interpolation rotate in the opposite direction.

When you poke the reflection in the eye, and it hurts, it was you.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a museum display of a megalodon jaw fossil, with some museum goers standing around it. There is a graphic on the information tablet next to the fossil, depicting the approximation of the megalodon’s full size compared to a human. Panel 2: “3.6 million years ago:” we see the true megalodon as it existed, a small shark with ludicrously large, juicy lips.
