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!

When deforming text in #blender, the result can often appear stretched & distressed. Quickly Fix it by adding a Remesh modifier, set it to Sharp, untick Remove Disconnected and increase the Octree Depth. Be careful of high geometry though! #b3d

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.

There's many ways to create 3D ruffles in Blender. What helps me is to simplify the shapes as much as possible and adjust from there! Then make use of the Array and Curve Modifier ✨

Blender tips> If ur like me and u want to retain ur Hard edge in sculpt mode. Getting a mirror modifier even an empty one seems to be the only way😅if anyone knows another way please let me know...

SwiftUI introduced a new modifier on iOS 26+ that essentially removes the thumb from the Slider and transforms it into a draggable progress bar. Currently, there’s no way to adjust the size of the progress bar. However, by using the scale and other modifiers, we can create a progress bar that is similar to the iOS Volume slider! Modifier: sliderThumbVisibility()

One significant limitation for motion graphic presets with #GeometryNodes will be removed in Blender 5.1: The font in the String to Curves node has an input socket now, so it can be controlled by a modifier. #b3d #devfund

[VAE] by Hand ✍️ A Variational Auto Encoder (VAE) learns the structure (mean and variance) of hidden features and generates new data from the learned structure. In contrast, GANs only learn to generate new data to fool a discriminator; they may not necessarily know the underlying structure of the data. The International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) this year announced its first ever "Test of Time Award" to recognizes the VAE paper, published 10 years ago. This exercise demonstrates how to calculate a VAE by hand. [1] Given: ↳ Three training examples X1, X2, X3 ↳ Copy training examples to the bottom ↳ The purpose is to train the network to reconstruct the training examples. ↳ Since each target is a training example itself, we use the Greek word "auto" which means "self." This crucial step is what makes an autoencoder "auto." [2] Encoder: Layer 1 + ReLU ↳ Multiply inputs with weights and biases ↳ Apply ReLU, crossing out negative values (-1 -> 0) [3] Encoder: Mean and Variance ↳ Multiply features with two sets of weights and biases ↳ 🟩 The first set predicts the means (𝜇) of latent distributions ↳ 🟪 The second set predicts the standard deviation (𝜎) of latent distributions [4] Reparameterization Trick: Random Offset ↳ Sample epsilon ε from the normal distribution with mean = 0 and variance = 1. ↳ The purpose is to randomly pick a offset away from the mean. ↳ Multiply the standard deviation values with epsilon values. ↳ The purpose is to scale the offset by the standard deviation. [5] Reparameterization Trick: Mean + Offset ↳ Add the sampled offset to predicted mean ↳ The result are new parameters or features 🟨 as inputs to the Decoder. [6] Decoder: Layer 1 + ReLU ↳ Multiply input features with weights and biases ↳ Apply ReLU, crossing out negative values. Here, -4 is crossed out. [7] Decoder: Layer 2 ↳ Multiply features with weights and biases ↳ The output is Decoder's attempt to reconstruct the input data X from reparameterized distributions described by 𝜇 and 𝜎. [8]-[10] KL Divergence Loss [8] Loss Gradient: Mean 𝜇 ↳ We want 𝜇 to approach 0. ↳ A lot of math called SGVB simplifies the calculation of loss gradients to simply 𝜇 [9,10] Loss Gradient: Stdev 𝜎 ↳ We want 𝜎 to approach 1. ↳ A lot of math simplifies the calculation to 𝜎 - (1/ 𝜎) [11] Reconstruction Loss ↳ We want the reconstructed data Y (dark 🟧) to be the same as the input data X. ↳ Some math involving Mean Square Error simplifies the calculation to Y - X.

Another daily reminder that you can draw glassy Text since the #SwiftUI glassEffect modifier accepts arbitrary Shapes - just convert Fonts into Shapes if you are willing to go deep into CoreText and tinker with CTFontCreatePathForGlyph.

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.

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🧵

okay! my whole pipeline for getting fable and sol to be able to 3d model good topology hard surface game models without using any additional paid services is WORKING... we just need to dial in their lowpoly geometry and baking techniques some more, the pipeline is images > trellis > model creates the lowpoly themselves with direct headless blender interaction > bake ... this will work with both of them because you can replace sol's gptimage2 imagegen in fable's version with z-image-turbo or another quality local image model

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.)

The bevel modifier in Blender 4.3 will let you use any attribute as a weight, so you can finally have multiple custom non-destructive bevels on a mesh! The UI for attributes is clunky, but it's there.

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.
