I just released a new Blender extension for blurring images and scene backgrounds: extensions.blender.org/add-ons/blur...

Under the hood, it uses the image processing libraries PIL and OpenEXR.

Keep us updated how it works, looking forward to seeing what you re up to

Useful trick for VS Code / Cursor AI:
Make a custom settings.json file for a project scope.
E.g. I'm using this snippet to format my JSON files in a convenient way.

Today I learned that Blender supportes fuzzy search, e.g. “iop” for Instance on Points.
Useful and very stable shortcuts.

In Blender 4.5 (coming next month), it will become much easier to add Grease Pencil Text. Here's the new "Faces" option for the "Mesh to Curve" node in action.

Data driven workflows will see many improvements in Blender 4.5!

New self-contained python script (thanks to uv, @crmarsh.com ):
1. Take pdf from the download folder
2. Compress all images within that pdf to 80% quality.

Be aware that running code from URLs is your own risk.

looking forward to the next video! :)

That's exciting news! Many ideas to look forward to in the near future for reproducible notebooks :)

Declarative Systems in Geometry Nodes Currently, one of our primary goals for Geometry Nodes is to get to a point where we can build high level and easy to use node group assets for physics simulations. Our general approach was described…

I wrote a document describing how we want to make it possible to build high level and easy-to-use node group assets for physics simulations and more. #b3d #devfund #GeometryNodes

quick tip for recording tutorials #Blender #GeometyNodes:
1. Create the full setup
2. delete elements one by one
3. start recording the tutorial and press Command+Z for every explanation step.
