Love the Mikrotik router. Devices won't get internet access if they are naughty.

Thanks to my ISP for its router being horrid. It dies every sunday for two hours, just when I need it the most. Without even DHCP, I can't connect to my VR headset at all and use a mobile hotspot. I ordered a Mikrotik router now and I'll and configure it with two WANs. Magenta/Tmobile, you suck!

With STF, you can now transfer 3d bezier curves from Blender to Godot^^ (Unity doesn't support them natively, so idk if I'll implement it for some 3rd party lib) #blender3d #b3d #godotengine #gamedev #programming

Yes, so much yes! I was preparing face-tracking updates for a while. Rip that effort, but in the best way possible. All Squirrelbite avatars already use Unified Expressions. Major kudos to the VRCFT community for those. Once VRC shippes this, all my avatar bases will be updated accordingly.

Uhh our artist forgot to make a thumbnail, so... enjoy this handmade art by Flare. It's time for the Sept 24 VRChat Dev Update! Read about our plans for "High Fidelity Face Tracking," Udon Methods for Friend Info, Name Mapped Parameter Buffers & more! ask.vrchat.com/t/developer-...

The export uses the NLA hack that Blenders FBX exporter supports. Slot Link places all actions & slots on the NLA, with a gap between what are supposed to be separate animations in FBX. This is how the export ready NLA looks^^ It's absolutely unmanageable doing this by hand.

I may complain about Blender, but I also try to do something about it. The Slot-Link extension allows you to manage multiple independent animations in Blender^^ And with version 0.1 you get a much improved user experience! extensions.blender.org/add-ons/slot... #b3d #animation #gamedev #foss

I complain about Blenders animation system for 5 minutes^^ youtu.be/Ic-DhxKkZP8 #blender3d #b3d #gamedev #animation #3danimation #opensource #foss

It's a very technical topic sadly, sorry if it's boring. This is part 1, unfortunately there are more critical issues with using Blender for games development. Part 2 will be about the very engaging topic of mesh-instances^^

I wanted to finish that video within a week. I blame Slay the Spire 2^^ Anyway, I finally started recording the audio.

I just released STF v0.1.0! It is a modular 3d file-format, intended for game-dev uses. It now supports IK between Blender, Unity and Godot! I just wanted to create a short presentation video for it, and I am already at 1500 words -.- Coming soon I guess. Learn more about STF at docs.stfform.at

Why do you have to tease me like that Blender? This needs to happen for every data-block! (And Blender also has to store which Slot was animating which data-block.) The animation system remains a hard blocker for any meaningful adoption of Blender in the games industry.

What if the replaced Action was animating data-blocks which the previous Action didn't? What if another Action is animating other data-blocks? Why are the Slots being mapped at random? Artists have to remember which Slot went where, and assign them manually anyway. What a mess!

I guess I also automated the building of custom Blender-extension repositories with Forgejo / Codeberg actions. codeberg.org/emperorofmar... #b3d #blender3d #codeberg #forgejo #foss #opensource #programming

codeberg.orgtemplate_blender_extension_repositoryTemplate to build a Blender extension repository listing and website.
