#30DayMapChallenge Typography Same tools and process as used in... the last post: generating landscape model from LiDAR data and painting on the surface, along with geometry nodes animation in #Blender.show more

Here’s a proof of concept showing how data calculated... in Python can be used in Blender. #Blender can process the received data with custom geometry nodes, custom shaders and full 3D interactivity. This minimal example uses @networkX in Project Jupyter. Learn more in this thread🧵show more

I have been playing around with generating chinese landsacape... paintings in blender geometry node using vornoi noise. Hopefully I can finish the write up until tomorrow and share the nodesshow more

Again some tests in Blender. Made some smears using... geometry nodes for example. Do yourself a favour and leave the sound off! #bnpr #b3d #blender #geometrynodes #Animation #characteranimation #smears #tensionmapshow more

Another cool test by @bohdanfrantsishko (IG) with Claypencil (Grease... Pencil + Geometry Nodes) Where everything is drawn in 2D with Blender Grease Pencil (no Rigging) and with #ClayPencil converted to Geometry on the fly. #Blender #B3D #GreasePencil #stopmotion #2D #2danimationshow more

Easily retopologize all kinds of garments without losing details... in Blender 🔶 with this procedural Geometry Nodes-powered tool that automates the process. Get it here: #b3d #blender #blender3d #geonodes #3dmodeling #retopologyshow more

GPT-4 is the new data scientist 🤯 With the... new OpenAI code interpreter model, you just have to upload the data and provide instructions in simple english. The model does everything from cleaning data to generating insightful visualizations on autopilot!!show more

Reaction-diffusion in Blender geometry-nodes. This is the basic "single... concentration blur" version. I'm also working on a stable version of the Gray-Scott model. #b3d #geometrynodes #reactiondiffusionshow more

Here is the behind the scenes shot again that... explains a bit of the process. The water sim is done with FLIPFluids with simulation nodes in #geometrynodes from Blender 🔶. Such a fun shot to work on that took way too long. #blender #simulation #procedural #animation #shortfilmshow more

If you think this is just another silly demo... made with AI, read this post. You might change your mind, because this demo is about MATH. What you see on the screen is not a render from Blender (obviously, it’s not that good). It’s a three.js app built with Toolcraft. Available on the web and rendered in real time(link in the comments). But Blender still has a lot to do with it. Blender has Geometry Nodes - a powerful node-based system for creating and manipulating procedural geometry. In other words, it’s math. And math is a universal language. And who do you think is pretty good at math? >>> AI. Now you can download or buy Blender files from marketplaces, and when they contain Geometry Nodes for procedural animations, objects, surfaces, or effects, you can transfer that logic to the web. Make it real-time, make it interactive. Materials are a separate story, of course. They can still suck unless you use the right tricks: PBR, HDRIs, material blending, displacement, and faked surface relief. So why is Blender important here? Blender is open source, and many tools around it are open source too. An AI trained on their code. That means it can translate the math from one environment to another quite accurately. If you’ve been struggling to reproduce some idea with AI that you had in your head or seen in some references, and it has something to do with Geometry Nodes, and you can find that idea or a close one in the Blender ecosystem - it means you can transfer it to the web. Thank me later.show more

The best new feature in Blender 4 is NODE... TOOLS 🔥 Before this, you could only use geometry nodes as modifiers. Now you can use them as quick one-time operations! This is beyond powerful. Best thing to ever happen to Blender Here's a simple node tree to make pipes from edges:show more

.Javed Sterritt reimagined classic Sonic in 3D with a... Looney Tunes-style animation and attitude in Blender 🔶, drawing inspiration from a '90s commercial. Get the model and rig for free: #b3d #blender3d #blender #3danimation #SonicTheHedgehogshow more

Who needs a mocap suit? 😁Testing out AIOS -... All-in-One-Stage Expressive Human Pose and Shape Estimation (link in thread). I uploaded a video from Pexels and it created the 3D mesh, which I was able to import into Blender and use Geometry nodes to control. (see thread for nodes).show more

Generative AI is cool and all, but procedural 3D... modeling continues to hit the spot. Here’s the new ICity beta, which helps you harness the power of geometry nodes in Blender:show more

Add-On Developer Corey Corza demonstrated an impressive vine generator... created with Blender's Geometry Nodes and shared it via Patreon. Learn more and get the generator: #blender #blender3d #b3d #blendercommunity #geonodes #geometrynodesshow more

If you're working with Blender and Marvelous Designer and... noticing some weird normal shading, its most likely due to Custom Split Normals. In your Object Data Properties, navigate to Geometry Data and clear the custom split normals data that was imported to resolve it.show more

If you're working with mirrored geometry in Blender, you... can offset the UVs easily by going into the Data dropdown in the mirror modifier and set the U Offset to 1 and then apply the modifier. This is essential for texturing and baking properly without issue!show more

Each of us navigates our surroundings using sight and... sound together. The sensor system in the Rivian Autonomy Platform works the same way. It takes data from cameras, radar and – coming soon – LiDAR, then fuses them together in an instant. Not as separate inputs but as one complete picture of the world that’s more precise than any single type of data could be on its own.show more

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 👇 #b3dshow more
