Rigging surfaces that are oddly rotated is difficult. So I built a simple plugin that pulls out the mesh vertices. Then you can select a quad, and it will generate an attachment in the correct orientation on the quad. e.g. setting up the rig for this aileron control surface.

🚨 Dr Andrey Kortunov: QUAD IS ESSENTIALLY A CHINA🇨🇳 PROBLEM. INDIA🇮🇳 WILL DEFINE THE FUTURE OF QUAD. ‘It's essentially a China problem. Russia has very little to do with Quad, at least for the time being. Maybe at some point it will become more active in the Indian Ocean, but right now that is not the case. The Chinese are a little bit paranoiac about Quad. They present Quad as a kind of military alliance, an anti-China military alliance guided by the United States. India will remain the lowest common denominator of Quad, and the Quad will emerge only as far as New Delhi allows it to develop. If India would like to put more emphasis on cooperation, let's say in modern technologies or in logistics, that will define the future of Quad.’ —Dr Andrey Kortunov, Political Analyst at the Valdai International Discussion Club, on the latest episode of New Order.

One of the most baffling quirks of Blender is that it will very occasionally let you select vertices through the mesh while not in Xray mode. Yet if you box draw, it won't. Is anyone working on this? #b3d

Finally got a chance to play around with Andrej Karpathy's LLM Council. I built it as a plugin inside of Claude Code. Hooked it up with OpenRouter for models. The AskUserQuestion tool came in handy to select the council and chairman. This is my first test, but I agree with Karpathy that the concept of LLM ensembles can be used beyond models that offer perspectives on interesting questions. I feel like this could have really cool applications in agentic coding. More on that soon. I built this as a plugin, so next I will be exploring other user cases around agentic coding, like evaluation, tool building, designing, and research. If there is enough interest, I will clean it up and push it out as an open plugin.

#WATCH | Delhi: Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong says, "...You talked about the US-China. As I've said previously, the world wants the two great powers, the US and China, to work together to ensure that they can coexist peacefully and they can manage their differences. And so that dialogue is a good thing." "In relation to the Quad and the importance of it, you know, this is our third Quad meeting since President Trump was elected... Secretary Rubio has demonstrated his commitment to the Quad, and that will continue in terms of the leaders' summit. Obviously, that depends on the availability of leaders, but we look forward to that. And in the meantime, as I said, the three foreign ministers' Quad meetings in a very short space of time demonstrate the commitment of all countries to it."

Who can help me figure this out? With the 'legacy' Cloth in Blender you can add Hooks and stretch a mesh during simulation. With the same setup and the new Cloth Dynamics in Blender 5.2, it just pulls on the individual Vertices. What am I doing wrong? #B3D #Blender #Blender3D

Proxy Meshes aren't always ideal because many of the vertices are filler. They have to be in the right place to complete the surface shape and you have to worry about keeping the shape clean. But for simple shapes or clean curved surfaces, why not use curves directly Previously I've solved this by lofting the proxy mesh from a simpler set of curve profiles, but why not skip that and just define the Normals with the curve profiles directly? With typical Data Transfer modifier this isn't an option, but with Geometry Nodes it is no problem. And potentially gives much more control over interpolation and rigging.

This is how the eyes have been modelled! it has an eye white mesh, iris mesh, a mesh for shadow and then the eyelids. The eyelids can move separately for more emotion. And the eyes can look around through blendshapes but there is clipping because of curved surfaces.

Reporter: The Quad summit did not take place last year, and we have not seen the same strong unity among Quad members in the second Trump administration. Do you believe Quad unity will be sustainable? Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar: I would not say the Quad summit was cancelled, because it was never specifically scheduled. It simply did not take place. The first meeting Secretary Rubio held on the day he became Secretary of State was a Quad foreign ministers’ meeting. He then convened another Quad meeting in July in Washington, which we all attended. I would not overinterpret the absence of a summit meeting. Do stay tuned.

Fine I will finally speak on why saying 'just up the sensitivity of your rig/ get a more expressive rig instead of puppeteering' is so wrong lol, this discussion has been RAGEBAITING me for a while Context about me: I draw and rig my own vtuber models and I am obsessed to an unhealthy degree with optimizing my tracking. So obsessed, in fact, that i have a custom setup for my VBRIDGER GRAPH SETTINGS. yes that is right, the VBRIDGER GRAPH SETTINGS. I have optimized the SHIT out of this models movements and responsiveness and range of movement way beyond the rig itself. NO AMOUNT OF AN EXPRESSIVE RIG WILL MAKE MOVEMENTS THAT AREN'T HAPPENING HAPPEN. END OF DISCUSSION. You can put the inputs at a level so low that the smallest flick of your head results in a full 180 swing (looks like shit btw don't do this) that STILL doesn't mean the models head will swing if YOU don't. 'You don't need to act when rigging is expressive enough' must be the most brain dead fucking take I've ever seen (respectfully). And again, I MESS WITH MY BLENDER GRAPH SETTINGS! I AM NOT AN OK INDIVIDUAL. My rig must not be expressive tho, huh? cause guess what? shit does nothing if i don't move BECAUSE OPTIMIZING A RIG ISN'T WIZARDRY. The 'expressiveness' of a rig simply means the capability it has to capture YOUR emotions. An inexpressive rig will make an expressive person look stiff. An expressive rig will NOT make an inexpressive, stiff person look expressive. Can we finally call this discussion solved and move on??

Here's what's coming next for the Fondant Custom Normals Addon: Adjustable 3D anime face proxy mesh! If you've tried the proxy method before, you know that it can be difficult to get good results as you need the right topology and shape for good Normals, and also for it to fit to the face properly for a clean transfer. The solution is to use two proxies: one for the shape, and one for the fitting. But that gets cumbersome! And it is still often unintuitive to get the correct shading shapes. The next major feature of the addon will be aiming to solve these problems by providing a convenient proxy mesh that you can fit to your character's face with some rig controls, and then handles the rest under the hood with Geometry Nodes. All the benefits of complexity without having to deal with it yourself! This clip shows the general idea, but is early stages. I'll be sharing more as I build it out.

Three Reasons To Buy Bitcoin (Right Now) In this clip from The Call, Macro & Digital Assets analyst Joshua Steiner provides the basis for why Hedgeye has pivoted to a Bullish position on Bitcoin. 🔊 Among the reasons is a shift to Monthly Quad 2 - when growth and inflation are accelerating at the same time. "The only quad that Bitcoin backtests really poorly in is Quad 4 [when growth and inflation slow together]," Steiner explains. "The best is in Quad 3 [when growth slows, but inflation accelerates]. And interestingly we have a May Quad 3 and a June Quad 2." Steiner also highlights Hedgeye’s current Bullish trend signal on Bitcoin, noting that the cryptocurrency is in a pivotal stage of its quadrennial halving cycle—a period that has historically marked some of its most explosive return phases. Make no mistake, Hedgeye views Bitcoin as just another asset to be bought and sold in the appropriate economic environments. We don't blindly hold it in perpetuity - we buy it when it's appropriate and short it when the data tells us to. Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough also summarized the three reasons to buy Bitcoin: "The [bullish] signal says buy it. The Quad says buy it. And the fundamental backdrop on the supply side that Steiner walked through says buy it. I don't have to spend the rest of my life telling you how smart I am about Bitcoin." ****** Subscribe to The Call for more daily investment insights 👇
