I've had a chance to try an upcoming photorealistic... Lens Sim plugin for Blender by Håvard Dalen , and in fact I prepared an extensive video review of it that will be out tomorrow. In brief: once Lens Sim is out, photoreal #3d rendering will never be the same. #b3d 🧵 1/?show more

✨ Check out this mind-blowing work! ✨ Gurgen Aloian... has unveiled a "fake" real-time collision system built entirely within Blender's Geometry Nodes! 🤯 It's not using traditional physics – instead, it's a custom, lightweight solver that runs interactively. Imagine the possibilities for animation and sculpting! He's shared a detailed breakdown of how it works, and there's even a chance it could become a full release or tutorial soon! 👀 What do you think of this innovative approach to collisions in Blender? Let me know in the comments! 👇 #B3D #Blender3D #Animation #GeometryNodes #CG #VFX #3DArt #BlenderCommunityshow more

🚨BREAKING: The beta test of Blender Cycles on The... Render Network is going great!! With $RENDER, a rendering job by Omid Pakbin took less than 10 minutes instead of 28 hours!! This is the largest #AI / #GPU integration ever seen in the crypto space. No one will ever come close to $RENDER and here's why ✍️ With Blender 🔶 Cycles integrated on the Render Network, millions of artists from the leading open source 3D ecosystem can harness near unlimited high performance decentralized GPU cloud rendering power on Render. The tasks performed by the millions of Blender users require heavy GPU demands. These tasks will result in many $RENDER tokens being burned, as the burning mechanism is tied 1:1 to the GPU usage of the The Render Network There is literally no #AI altcoin that has the partnerships or real utility that $RENDER provides. Forget "The next $RENDER". Once this integration goes fully live, the burning numbers of $RENDER will explode and you will see the biggest fomo ever seen in crypto.show more

FABLE 5 JUST RECREATED NEW YORK CITY IN BLENDER.... I connected Blender to Fable 5 and in like 20 minutes, it remade the entire cityscape of NYC It started by getting data of the buildings from public sources, THEN began building it (imo this is a smarter move than what Opus 4.8 would've done) So theoretically, this entire build is up to scale too Fable 5, welcome back.show more

Inspired by Ivan Black I took it upon myself... to build a fully #procedural version of this kinetic sculpture in #blender using only #geometrynodes. I spent the best part of summer trying to figure out how to animate the linked pieces. Challenge completed, what do you think?show more

Situation on Raqqa [18/1/2026]: [18:00] In northern Raqqa, the... SNA began advancing south of Tel Abyad, taking positions previously abandoned by the SDF, and reached the agricultural area and the water canal. The town of Ayn Issa remains under SDF control despite continuous assault and bombardment by the SNA. In the rest of the governorate, the SDF has withdrawn to Hasakah or continues to withdraw, and fighting continues in Raqqa. Following the uprising of tribal groups, the governorate capital was taken pending the arrival of the STG, which happened later. However, pockets of SDF resistance continue to skirmish with the militants while receiving support from Division 17 Army Base and other military outposts north of Raqqa. The reasons for this resistance are to buy time for a complete withdrawal and to avoid what happened in Maskanah and Deir Hafer the previous day. Map: [ ]show more

Making 3D animation feel genuinely 2D used to mean... manually modeling weird, distorted meshes for every single smear frame. Now, a free Blender add-on handles it automatically. SMEAR—developed as part of a SIGGRAPH 2024 research paper—lets you bake procedural elongated in-betweens, ghosting multiples, and speed lines directly along your object's trajectory. You get full Geometry Node controls over length, noise patterns, and speed thresholds, without destroying your original rig or animation. If you animate in 3D, do you prefer procedural stylization tools like this, or do you still prefer sculpting smear frames by hand? #b3d #3danimation #geometrynodesshow more
