Arqueología digital de la buena para localizar el punto exacto del eclipse total de Sol de 1860 en Álava
Entre mapas viejos y geodesia fina, ya se sabe definitivamente dónde se montó el observatorio del eclipse de 1860.

Just discovered Cristóbal Vila (@cristobalvila.bsky.social), an amazing 3D digital artist whose work blends geometry, design, and visual craft.
Explore more of his animations here: etereaestudios.com/works/ — well worth a look (and no ads or pop-ups!).

Los vídeos cortos mostrando la colocación de piezas superiores de la Sagrada Familia son espectaculares.

Short videos showing the installation of upper sections of the Sagrada Familia are spectacular.

The work of this guy feels like pure Black Magic!

Everything in this scene is fully procedural, created using Blender’s Geometry Nodes.

Check out the timelapse with voice-over — it’s mind-blowing!

Coming from Substance Designer and the Pixel Processor workflow, I was considering building my own 2D SDF function library for Blender’s Shader Nodes…

But then I discovered this incredible treasure by Celestialmaze @cmzw.bsky.social

Every time I drop by the @nodegroup.xyz Discord (and I do it at least once a day), I discover a fantastic Blender tip or trick — especially for Geometry Nodes. That place is an absolute treasure!

I love these small utility custom geometry nodes for Blender! It's so easy to create your own collection :-)

Blender is the best thing that has ever happened to the 3D world. I’m incredibly grateful and happy to be able to use such a magnificent tool. But it’s up to all of us to make sure it can continue to be this way!!!

A new small tip for Blender I just learned: we can Copy and Paste Drivers between UI and Geometry Nodes 😉

The correct way to Combine two Normal Maps in Blender (applicable to any other app, I suppose).

Thank you so much to Quackers for the tip!!!

A small-great tip for #Blender I just discovered right now:

To shade differently the active and inactive geometry in the viewport, go to 3D Viewport Overlays WHILE IN EDIT MODE and look for that Fade Inactive Geometry Checkbox and Opacity Slider.

To all of you former Modo users, this reflection environment I created back in 2008 might look familiar—it even became the default one.

Well, now you can also use it in Blender. Whether you were a Modo user or not! 😀

Simple Bend Ex is one of those Blender add-ons that, once you start using it, you can't live without. And like that one, there are many other add-ons from @kushiro.bsky.social, many of which are completely free.

Tim Johannsen has shared a nice add-on for Blender, “Boundaries to Ngon”.

It's a one-click solution to fill non-intersecting edge loops with a small set of ngons. It extends Blender's built-in Fill tool by correctly handling holes and nested polygons.

Another little trick I hadn't discovered until now!

We can control different levels of subdivision with the ‘Subdivision Surface’ NODE (within Geometry Nodes) in the same way as with Blender's MODIFIER!
