YouTube video by Bforartists

Bforartists @bforartists.bsky.social · Jul 26

Bforartists is based on the Main Trunk of blender, meaning all official release fixes and the future of Blender 5.0 is part of this release, with 6 weeks differences from the official branch of Blender!

⚠️Test, report, help us polish!

Bforartists @bforartists.bsky.social · Jul 25

🖼️ The default Presentations Slides addon has a new operator to make new slides! They are scenes with some presets, frame duration and sequential insertion to make slides... easier than ever!

Scenes are very powerful!

Bforartists @bforartists.bsky.social · Jul 24

🎁 What makes this release special is the Geometry Nodes Mesh Lines and Silhouette and Blend Normals by Proximity asset that does "fake SDF" blending on a collection of objects.

Drag and drop from the asset shelf or browser to scene to use. 🧙‍♂️

Bforartists @bforartists.bsky.social · Jul 24

This is very much thanks to the effort by @znighttrung.bsky.social !

Bforartists @bforartists.bsky.social · Jul 24

And the Assets Workspace makes it easy to mark, drag and drop to relevant areas. 💙

And more! With Blender now supporting placing collections with a placement gizmo - the future is bright when it comes to layout and assets. 🧡

Bforartists @bforartists.bsky.social · Jul 24

🏛️The Asset Shelf and Browser now supports linking in Blend file assets and automatically adding Library Overrides, only with Bforartists.

Not to mention we have a top level opt in for instancing and set position to world center! 💙
