Tech artist at @BlenderStudio_ Using and helping improve Blender every day #b3d #geometrynodes Procedural things! Now also on Mastodon
Wow, this has been quite the month (and a half)! I'm finally done with all 30 #nodevember prompts! Each is made from a sphere primitive with a procedural shader in Blender. Thanks to everyone for the amazing support and overwhelmingly positive feedback! :) #nodevember2019 #b3d
I’m developing a new animation sustem for #blender3d . Draw trajectories on the screen and trace the speed as a graph, and go. Works for armatures + objects, soon public. Early access for my tipeee subscribers, if you wanna support and test it now! 🙏🙏 en.tipeee.com/dedouze/news/2…

Happy Birthday Blender 🧡
Thirty years ago, I used the holidays to rewrite our in-house 3d tool from scratch, based on specs and design I worked on for a year. On January 2nd 1994, the first version was running! I'm incredible proud, humbled and impressed of where it went. Happy 30th birthday :) #b3d
Been testing custom #b3d retopology tools with geo nodes at the @BlenderStudio_ . Still WIP but pretty exciting! No more going to sculpt mode for the Slide Relax brush :D Big thanks to @simonthommes for working on this.
