NVIDIA has contributed two new high-fidelity assets—the MaterialX Teapot and Lion—to DPEL. These are the first DPEL assets to feature production-grade, multi-layered MaterialX materials. Learn more and get the assets: www.aswf.io/blog/materia...

One of the best talks on a "career" I've heard. Everything is to the point.

Great talk! Highly recommend watching it, especially if you don't follow AI too closely. It's packed with great information.

MaterialX v1.39.5 is released! This release of MaterialX has the largest set of contributors in the history of our project, and includes support for the Slang shading language, 2D and 3D flake nodes, improvements to the MaterialX Graph Editor, and much more. github.com/AcademySoftw...

Graphite just shipped 8 months of progress with 500+ improvements. Highlights: • Vector blend tool • Gradient tool: midpoint biasing, spread methods, & huge UX boost • Draggable tab/panel docking • QR code generator node • 20+ new string/regex nodes www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3E-...

I just wrapped a new Houdini study with the goal to polish full pipeline production on a simpler motion design piece where the narrative is key. Key lesson — complexity isn't everything — control is. Do you want to see the scene breakdown? @sidefx.bsky.social #motiondesign #cgi #sidefxhoudini

Ever wonder why some digital products look "flat" while others look mouth-watering? It’s all in the condensation. Need intentional, high-end visuals for your brand? Let’s talk. #sidefxhoudini #sidefxkarma #productrendering #3d #cgi #breakdown

I've just heard this from Kaye Han from AnyType team. This really resonates with me. I'm so tired of the "everything cloud" and SaaS model. Really want to see this SaaE model succeed. I think it's the way forward. #anytype #localfirst #selfhosting

Blender Foundation is thrilled to announce that Netflix Animation Studios is joining the Development Fund as Corporate Patron. This support will be dedicated towards general development, to improve content creation tools for individuals and teams working in media workflows. fund.blender.org #b3d

Welcome Dell to the Blender Development Fund as Corporate Gold sponsor, supported by NVIDIA! This enables general Blender development, with the goal of continuously improving content creation tools that will benefit the entire community. fund.blender.org #b3d #DevFund #delltech #NVIDIA

I highly recommend watching this free course on Karma from Peter Arcara (@petercubic.bsky.social). He does an exceptional job explaining all the essentials of optimizing Karma samples for great render quality and a little bit extra! #sidefxhoudini

This is a great talk! Learned a lot and would love to see some actual traction in open source to focus on UX as well. So many of us could have an easier time moving to Linux from Windows which has become an unbearable pile of AI driven garbage.

The Blender Survey 2025 results are here! 🎉 Thanks to the over 5,000 participants who shared their experiences and insights on how to make Blender better! survey.blender.org/feedback/2025/ #b3d

Jesus! Some Blender add-on developers absolutely slaps! #b3d #blender

Fully agree with this prediction. Good read.

I love seeing progress made in USD ecosystem with unifying all DCCs and render engines. There are still enough issues which makes it hard to build 100% interchangeable workflow. One of the issues is a not 100% standardized lighting. This is a cool talk going deep on this subject. #openusd #3d

Please, fill in the survey. It's important for future Blender development. fund.blender.org/survey/2025/ hashtag#b3d hashtag#blender3d

I love watching @penpot.app grow and improve. Such a cool project on par with Blender. I hope it succeeds in a big way! The biggest thing is that it fosters user agency when other tools try to rob you of it as much as possible. Good job Penpot team!

Great talk! Lots of honest opinions there from industry veterans. #ai #vfx

Very interesting talk which highlights how huge corporations adopts Blender. I am now more than every convinced that Blender will be one of the top production tools for 3D in many crucial industries. #b3d #blenderisindustrystandard

New release! Penpot 2.10 is here 🎉 ✨ Variants are now available! And also, Design Tokens get more typography options plus plenty of quality-of-life improvements Check what's new : community.penpot.app/t/penpot-2-1...

Loved the talk. Sometime "hacky" way is the only one to get what you need in a shot. #b3d #blenderconference2025

Great talk! Surprisingly lost of new insights from Ton in this one. Highly recommend to watch it. #b3d

This is something I also practice to a certain degree. Especially helpful for strengthening creativity. Be bored to be more creative.

Yeah, this is worrying. AI agents are useful but the security risks are just too much right now.

Houdini 21 is here! KineFX gets a Motion Mixer, Animation Catalog, Autorig Builder & enhanced muscles. Copernicus adds GPU Pyro FX, reaction diffusion FX & texture baking. Solaris expands with Shot Builder, Live Rendering & Gaussian Splats & much more.  www.sidefx.com/products/what...

This small project was inspired by GSG post. If you want an answer how to easily make empty spaces in a cloner setup then watch the breakdown. #hodini #sidefxhoudini #3d #breakdown

Whoa! This is cool. Finally, the official development partnering with ILM. This is a big deal and another huge step in making Blender a better 3D artist's tool. #b3d

Great read! Found it very well researched and enlightening. #noaidoom

Watch the Houdini 21 Keynote from SIGGRAPH 2025! Discover new KineFX motion mixer, muscle system improvements, MetaHumans integration, Copernicus GPU Pyro solver, built-in ML tools, Vulkan support, and more. Today at 10 am PST! youtu.be/C--08SipCNU

I like this initiative. Makes a lot of sense to structure a creative corporation this way.

This is interesting. Lots of interesting insights. Curious to see how Nostr protocol evolve.

Love the recipes functionality SideFX introduced in Houdini 20.5. It proved to be very useful. You don't need to rely on HDAs for some additional functionality anymore or legacy presets system. It's way easier now to extend existing nodes with recipes. Such a time saver! #houdini #sidefxhoudini

Blender 4.5 LTS is here. It's the final and the best release in the 4.x cycle. Great version to use for production fr at least two next years. #b3d #blender

A personal project made during some RnD and workflows explorations. Nikita Pirogov helped me out with the sound design. #motiondesgin #sidefxhoudini #houdini #productvisualization

Welcome Chaos Group to the Blender Foundation’s Development Fund as a Corporate Gold sponsor! fund.blender.org #b3d #DevFund

Yeah, it's a good principle to live by as a professional creative.
