I tried to use a new delaunay triangulation method based on the convex hull node together with the dual mesh node to build a 2D voronoi evaluator:
It uses one heavy boolean node (~100ms) to get rid of overlaps, but it's still really performant for 200 points in ~130ms

The project is finally done and functional! This time I've been working on a small amplifier.
Now I'll have to shoot more B-roll, get a coherent script together and edit the whole thing. If I'm lucky I'll be able to finish the video until sunday next week - that probably won't be the case though 😅

Got new parts for the project of the next video!
This is the 3rd try now, I hope these will finally work - electronic parts aren't as cheap as they say...

We definitely need more blender python tutorials. So much stuff is so niche and weird in blenders API that it can be pretty confusing for beginners - just showing the workflow of updating an addon will be so helpful
In the process of updating my add-ons this weekend for 4.4, I realized I should record it. Give #Blender users some insights and tips on how add-ons are updated. How they can either be completely fine or totally break.
I'll screen record for now, can narrate later.

Beta floats:
- gazillion input parameters
- oh shit oh fuck what do I call all of these variables???
- confusing maths
Gigachad curves:
- no maths just curve
- litrally photoshop ui
- infinite control
- haha line go brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Awesome that this is being worked on. A lot of NPR users didn't update when Eevee next was introduced, since it was more limited to a realistic workflow.
Now they're finally adding that customizability back in.

Hey NPR artist! 👋

I got a new edit ready, I think I can get it out at 20:00 GMT (UTC+0)
Turns out, unbeknownst to me, a part of the music which I used in the video was a bootleg.
The video got caught by youtube's content ID system, which is now preventing me from uploading
I hope I'll find a track which will fit the timing of the edit, if not I'll have to rearrange some stuff

Finally done with the editing 🎬
I hope this is the last revision (it's been like 6 now)
If that's the case, I'll probably be able to upload the video tomorrow!
Should I make it a premiere? At what time are you all online?

I recently got the Viltrox 35mm f1.7 air for my ZVE10, but due to Autofokus noise and rattling (it literally shakes the camera when focusing) it's unusable for video.
Now like a sane person I thought it was a defect and got myself a new one from a different retailer, but that one was even worse.
