i was hoping to use #Blender 4 on my desktop since i have a new enough macOS now.. but it keeps hanging on the shading tab even with just the default cube :|

plenty of CPU, GPU, RAM and VRAM available so i dont get it

Box an bits:
#mbt3d #3D #b3d #blender #modelling #blender3d #hardsurface #mastoart #volumes

After some comments and additional information, I had to correct the color temperature conversion table from Kelvin to HEX color code once again, and I also added the color values in HSV format. Now it should be okay. #b3d #Blender #Blender3D #VFX #CGI

I saw this awesom tutorial from @stayathomedev and it inspired me to start working on my Kaiju Game idea again, I had like years ago.

This time I try to get the sense of scale and the aesthetics right before I start implementing any gameplay... let's see where this will get me.

Blender: I'm gonna need your RAM, your swap file and the part of your brain where you store your childhood memories.

Dissolving Faces always makes me feel like a Serial Killer, especially since I usually cut them up with the knife first.

Happy Saturday people - here's the latest iteration of my roller coaster video!

This is largely shaping up to be just how I envisioned it, but there's a lot of work to be done, as always. Really happy with it so far, though!

New project ! This time I’m working on theater masks — sculpted in #Blender and 3D printed !
Now comes the fun (and tricky) part: painting them…
I’ve got the brushes, I’ve got the motivation — I just need the right idea.

Suggestions welcome !

result of the blender course i'm taking but ended up faffing around with some more with the shaders

tried to make the water surface look a bit more realistic
