the other benefit to this method is now we get to rig it in such a way where we can stretch the geometry of the rope as the anchor and the knot move down, the rope tiles as it scrolls giving the effect its moving with the anchor.

one QOL setting i would love in Blender is to display the rotation values on the axis instead in the top left corner of the window. just like this:

I recall a post made by someone a couple of years ago, criticizing aspects of Blender, including the edge highlight when selecting a vertex, calling it terrible. It's actually awesome and incredibly useful in X-Ray mode. I don't know how I worked without it in 3ds Max.

When editing a mesh's geometry in Blender that already has established UVs (especially when creating LODs), UVs don't automatically weld during optimizations. You can use "Weld by Distance," but remember to enable the "Shared Vertex" option to weld UVs only based on shared vertices.

Having used 3ds max for over 10 years with a lot of antiquated UI - seeing improvements to ui customisation in blender like this is so nice and refreshing.

loved working on this toolcupboard skin for Rust. It didn't take that long - creating a greeble sheet to quickly create the many parts. Loved seeing it lit up in Blenders viewport.

I love that Blender allows multiple scenes in one file. It's a great way to organize assets into different stages. Even better, you can save the file as the default template for each startup.

Found out this week the organisational power of 'View Layers' in Blender. Instead of Hiding/Unhiding objects/collections every time, you can set a new view layer to only display or hide certain collections🤯

Turned Anton Palmqvist's excellent into a three.js viewer here at so you can get a feel of the materials. Easily copy albedo values and test your own models with the material library

You don't need an overly complex scene to create nice renders of your asset. Sometimes, all it takes it just a simple curved plane, a long focal length (80-120mm) and a shallow depth of field (1.8/2/4).

using anchor points in Adobe Substance 3D painter, to create welding spatter instead of sculpting them. A balance between sculpting details in Zbrush and using painting height details in Painter, like this, allows way more freedom in texturing and room for some experimentation.

you can easily paint in sculpted folds in Substance painter by using the following setup: (the Sculpted Folds folder) New layer with just height info. Paint effect in the black mask to paint where you want the folds. Blur Directions to create the falloff. Blur to soften it all.
