This workshop will initiate with people from Mexico, Latin America and Europe to strengthen the ties of stop motion and collaboration and, in exchange, education will be provided for free for one Mexican / Latinamerican student for the first ten years also.

Blender 4.4 - Slotted Actions - Feedback Blender 4.4 introduces Slotted Actions. In a nutshell, slots make it possible to store the animation of multiple “things” in the same Action. What are Slotted Actions? In Blender 4.3, an Action was j...

Of course, these are also things I want. The Animation & Rigging development team is tiny, and there's a lot to do.

Check devtalk.blender.org/t/blender-4-... for the feedback we've already received.

First look at "Primal" Season 3 (by Genndy Tartakovsky).
Coming January 2026 on Adult Swim.

With that in mind, copying a slot from one Action to another is less well-defined. Do you copy those layers and strips that animate that slot? What if they animate other slots as well, does that animation data get copied too? What happens with strips on the same layer, that don't animate that slot?

The thing is, slots don't contain the animation data. They are just labels. In a future version of Blender you'll have multiple layers that can contain animation for a single slot. Or even strips on those layers, each animating the same (or different) slots.

This is for Blender add-on devs: the Action API that was deprecated in Blender 4.4 has been removed in 5.0.

Using action.fcurves / .groups / .id_root will NOT work in 5.0!

Data, experts en politiek: een ongemakkelijke combinatie - Bert Hubert Een verbeterd transcript van een praatje gehouden op 24 april 2025 ter afsluiting van de “Datamaand” van de Tweede Kamer. Het publiek bestond uit medewerkers van de Tweede Kamer, zoals de (data) exper...

Er zijn weer verkiezingen & daarmee ontstaat een kans ons bestuur anders in te richten. Met niet alleen al die generalisten, maar ook weer met eigen expertise. Ik sprak hier eerder dit jaar over bij de Tweede Kamer. Hier een opgeleukt verslag van dit prikkelende praatje: berthub.eu/articles/pos...

Mail in de VS en je bestanden hier? Het werkt niet - Bert Hubert Zoals ik gisteren schreef, onze maatschappij en overheden draaien in steeds grotere mate op Amerikaanse clouds, en we maken ons hier nu terecht zorgen over. Want het is toch niet leuk dat de Amerikane...

En nog meer achtergrond waarom het ONZIN is om te zeggen dat dit alleen om de kantoorautomatisering is. Alles komt onder Amerikaans beheer (uiteindelijk) berthub.eu/articles/pos...

Nee je kan niet meer je overheid en maatschappij verhuizen naar Amerikaanse servers - Bert Hubert De hele korte versie: het is waanzin om onze maatschappij en overheid over te zetten op Amerikaanse clouds. Niet alleen is het een dom idee gezien wat de “Koning van Amerika” allemaal roept, de juridi...

Achtergrond waarom dit heel heel heel erg is: berthub.eu/articles/pos...

Was reminded by a social media app that I had a "memory". Blender developers Dalai Felinto and @pablovazquez.art are showing off one of the first Eevee viewport implementations by Clement Foucault using my demo file in 2017. Time flies

YouTube video by Blender A million little curves: creating hair for animals — Blender Conference 2025

At this year's #bcon I did a talk about hair for animals, talking about my general approach and common pitfalls.

You can watch the recording here:

I'd love to get feedback! Is the information useful and understandable? What did I miss? Would you be interested in a part 2?

😻

It was a great conference and I’m confident the next step towards functional animation layers will be a breeze (famous last words) based on all the work that has been done for slotted actions. Strips will be a bit of a different story, but one step at a time!
