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

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

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

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 gives us a new Array modifier and with it, the ability to easily place objects as instances along a Curve. Previously, it was done using a combination of Array and Curve modifiers, but it would deform the instances unless you used a workaround. #Blender #b3d #Blender3d

The new Array modifier in Blender 5.0 finally gives us a simple solution for making Circular Arrays. #blender #B3D #Blender3D

Adding holes to curved surfaces is one of the more challenging parts of 3D modeling. And getting the surface around the holes perfect can be really frustrating. That's where the Data Transfer modifier can be a great help. #b3D #blender3D #Blender

Adding details to curved surfaces can be difficult. But the free TexTools add-on makes this process easy with the UV Mesh feature. More tips, e-books, courses: www.3dsecrets.com #b3d #blender #blender3d

One easy way to create holes in 3D models, is by using a black and white texture. This is especially useful for cloth objects. However you can also turn it into geometry with thickness for 3D printing, with just a few modifiers. #Blender #b3d #Blender3D

I'm working on a short E-book that should contain everything I know about making holes in Blender. Like a real braindump about a single topic. Do you have any holes-related questions? I probably have everything covered, but just in case. I'm curious! #Blender #B3D #Blender3D

In this new video, we do a beginner-friendly deep dive into the "double subdivision" method which is a very easy, fast and fun way of making 3D models. This is a longer version of a video I made about a year ago. Watch it here: youtu.be/YCd_tS_3BTU #blender #b3d #blender3d
