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

Anyways here's what I was talking about - Recently... I got myself a rebocap which can be use as mocap as well - I tried sourceio and import senko into blender - then I do a little of this and that to see if it worked And this is the result Do you see the VISION?????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

【Free Shader + Project File】 Hi, today I'm sharing... a FREE Blender project file I made.✨ It features a cool effect created with Geometry Nodes and Shader Nodes (not sure what to call it🤣) Download for FREE:👇 I hope this project file is helpful to you!💖 #b3d #blender #blender3D #shaders #gamedev #free #3danimated #geometrynodesshow more

Transitioning from one transform to another is the most... foundational idea in animation, but I've yet to see a general-purpose tool for doing it in geometry nodes. So, we'll build one in next week's YouTube video! One the most useful downloads I've ever given out for freeshow more

Little something I've been working, I have been able... to replicate how WWE 2K do their mesh warping in CAS mode. I can now import any CAS item to Blender, and warp it to a character exactly like 2K and apply the body mesh masking. #WWE2K26show more

hi all, excited to join! i'm building an expressive... mini "shoggoth" robot which will eventually be hooked up to gpt4o realtime voice. i'm currently working on the low-level policies, which are trained in a mujoco simulation with RL. to delay working on raw-pixels for now, i trained a pose-estimation model using deeplabcut and triangulate the position in 3d space using the stereo cameras. eventually, i'll use gpt4o's tool calling capabilities to activate several of these policies (closed and open loop) based on the dialog flow! captions: manual actuation of the tentacle / 3d pose estimation / target designshow 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

If you use the /3d command in Omma, it... will generate a 3D model and automatically place it in a 3D scene, all in one shot. The resulting GLB model is automatically compressed and optimized. (demo on this thread)show more

The Fondant Custom Normals Blender addon is being tested,... and we're aiming for a 1.0 release next week! The first feature is the Weighted Normals + Laplacian Smoothing Geometry Nodes modifier. This let's you calculate Normals that are as clean as a nice quad mesh even if your topology is a mess and triangulated! We'll be following up with more tools to support creating high quality Normals for 3D anime and vtuber characters. We have an optimized adjustable Face Normal Transfer proxy mesh nearly ready to go. Check out the Docs to see more about the Addon's features and workflow (link in the reply.)show more

Throwback to this scifi cockpit I did a while... back, the whole thing is about 60% kitbashed parts. The CRT display is fully animated using #blender 's geometry nodes, really fun putting this monstrosity together and making all these parts come to life #3D #b3d #3dart #scifishow more

Eye gaze fully fixed in Comfy now for Wan... Animate. All you need to do is use the pre processing nodes I linked in the first comment below for your pose / face crop. Tested this against Wan's Native source code and it is indeed 1:1 functioning now this was 300+ framesshow more

Turning your videos into any style is now a... piece of cake. You just need to know which AI tools to use and how to use them—and I’m breaking it all down in this thread, prompts included! 🧵⬇️ Bookmark for this latershow 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

I wrote the most revealing thread for my subscribers... about one potential place that might be safer during the Geophysical Event, as it was in the past, and there was a lot of migration to that place, which is historically disputed even today. During the geomagnetic excursion in the past, this place showed an interesting local anomaly. Plus, you will find out who followed my account when I wrote a thread about the projects being built in that land—he is a very powerful and rich person connected to the President of the USA. This is the most interesting thread; it will be available only to my subscribers on X and Patreon for various reasons...show more

Something I don't see spoken about enough is fluid... tracking when it comes to 2D vtuber models. So here's a thread as to how I achieve more fluid movement without extra rigging and in ONE step!! | THREADshow more

I prepared a few demos for the new simulation... nodes. Here's a fun example of custom 2D curve simulation that I worked on for FX on our current short `Pet Projects` at Blender Studio 🔶 Check out everything new in Blender 3.6, and the demo files here: #b3dshow more

Complex workflow? Break it down into sub-workflows for better... performance and easier re-use. Now, it’s too easy not to. Steps to get more modular workflows: 1. Select a set of connected nodes 2. Right-click and select Convert to sub-workflow (or Alt + X) 3. Watch magic happen 🪄 🎩 This action will opened a new tab and paste in the selected nodes with their parameters intact! For the encore, the selected nodes in the original workflow will be replaced automagically with a Call My Sub-workflow node. #n8n #lowcode #awesomeshow more
