Cycles keeps evolving! ✨ In Blender 5.0, Adaptive Subdivision is no longer an experimental feature. 👏 After the big leap in 4.5, this should boost confidence in Cycles for new users and delight long-time ones! 💪 #b3d

Transferring normals from one mesh to another allows smooth transitions between objects, very useful for environment creation! 🔥 As far as I know, this isn’t possible with Cycles since it’s a path tracer. It would have been really handy! Tested on Blender 4.5 Alpha. #b3d

Blender was very useful at benuts on the ambitious series We Come in Peace 🚀 Alongside Maya & Houdini for classic VFX, it excelled on more artistic shots. Geometry Nodes enabled fast procedural generation of mushrooms and alien eggs. Here are a few Blender shots 👇 #b3d

🌻 I’ve kept optimizing the setup and it’s now much simpler to use, with almost 10 times fewer control points than in my last post. Time to focus on quality and realism. #b3d

The hardest part isn’t getting the node setup to work, but making it smart, optimized, and bulletproof. Proud of this one, the finish line is finally in sight 💪 #b3d

I’m using Blender natively to import Apple ML-Sharp Gaussian Splatting. ✨ Controlling focal point, camera parameters and parallax directly inside Blender opens the door to entirely new workflows. The result is seriously impressive. 🔥 #b3d #MLSharp #GaussianSplatting

Blender 5.0 keeps boosting the Compositor! 🔥 You’ll now find an Asset Shelf at the bottom, and a brand new “Convolve” node. Perfect for filters like Bokeh patterns ! ✨ #b3d

BLENDER TIP 👇 You don’t need a plugin for Radial DOF ! 📷 Switch the camera to Panoramic. Increase the DOF Ratio. Instant beautiful lens effect ! 🔥 #b3d

Tip for Blender artists 💡 Enable volumetric shadows in EEVEE to preview VDBs or shader-based smoke in realtime ! Super close to Cycles results! 🔥 Huge time saver, even on a Mac Mini 💻

📌 As promised, here’s how I created the high-definition fabric strands from my recent posts: 1⃣ I apply a curl shape to the main guide curve and duplicate it. 2⃣ I subdivide the resulting curves into randomly sized segments. 3⃣ I add noise to each fiber to introduce variation. Finally the overall logic is quite simple. #b3d

Didn’t get a chance to improve the procedural cloud shader yet, but I should this week. ☁️ Here’s another look. It’s still R&D and should be out for free on Gumroad next week if all goes well.✨ I might make a more advanced paid version later, but that’s not the goal right now. #b3d
