Blender 5 makes setting up a Lattice easier than ever. Select an object, or even multiple objects, and then from the Add menu choose Lattice Deform Selected. You can also use Lattices to add objects to the surface of another object, and to animate things. #blender #blender3d #b3d

Blender 5 introduces a new and improved Sky Texture. This makes it easy to animate sunsets for example. By using the Sun Position extension that comes with Blender, we can more intuitively and realistically adjust the sun position. More tips, video courses and e-book on www.3DSecrets.com

Currently editing 4 hours of UV unwrapping videos of this spidermech. I used Mio3, TexTools, UV Toolkit, Texel Density Checker, UV-Packer and UnwrellaConnect. Any essential UV-related add-ons I missed? 😅#Blender3D #B3D #Blender

@metin Ah yes, I've heard of it but not tried it yet. I wanted to check the free stuff first. But it's a pretty affordable one. I may have to check it out!

@mbt3d Oh, UV Packmaster seems to have great UDIM packing tools. That's the thing I find most lacking in Blender at the moment tbh.

My niece's cat Bonnie was really into Flow when it was on Dutch TV last week. I think she really wanted to get into the boat. Sometimes she overlapped perfectly with Flow on screen. #Flow #Blender #B3D #Blender3D

What are some shapes or objects you struggle with or would like to see me tackle in a short modeling video? Thinking of doing some "how to model that" user submitted topic videos. #Blender #B3D #Blender3D

@mbt3d The solutions: Blogs, Websites, Forums... (actually some Discord servers are pretty nice places to hang out, a bit like the forums of before)

@pcaggegi I wonder if they could do an online-only version. Didn't the Amsterdam BCon do that once, during Covid? (I might be misremembering). That way it's also easier for international visitors.

How to model that? A marble runway funnel. Quite an interesting modeling challenge, made easier by some analysing and thinking before modeling. Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/5QHSum3GWtg #Blender #B3D #Blender3D

I think I'll start sharing a bit more the things I'm working on in 3D. Today I'm experimenting with methods for making Maximilian armour in Blender. #b3d #blender #blender3d
