It's important for a tiling window manager to be expressive enough to handle applications which don't always follow established development practices

For example, #Blender gives every single popup window the same class as its main window - this is not a good practice, but it we should still be able to find a workaround

With komorebi, we get around this by using a composite rule to float every blender.exe window which does not include "- Blender" in the title

Is it the prettiest solution? Not really

But ultimately, it works, it is reliable, and it enables users to achieve their goals

It's the Ides of March. That's a perfect time for the launch of my new game assets, the Roman Pompeii Collection: Glassware

Each asset was accurately modeled after a specific artifact discovered at Pompeii, and the pack includes an info sheet with more details about the artifacts and eruption-era Roman glass-making.

For the Ides of March, only $3.15 !

If you sometimes work in DaVinci Resolve and need a solution to convert Blenders color settings into DaVinci, then this hint is THE best ever! Basically Blender already comes with a solution, but you just need to know where to find it. And this hint shows how:

I love how easy it is to make details out of geometry with #Blender.

Which is great when you don't know how to make textures... or normal maps. You know, like me.

I mean I gotta ignore that polycount real hard.

But lotsa triangles just means I'm not LOD-ing hard enough.

Worked out how to do a 7 segment display in #blender, using geometry nodes.

It's a spaghetti tangle of noodles :) I think it resembles a digital electronic schema more than it does code. Nodes in reply.

I miss Fusion 360. Are there any open source 3D CAD programs with decent UI?

Last time we tried FreeCAD was several years ago, but it was HORRENDOUSLY confusing. Ye gods, SO MANY TOOLBARS. Even Blender wasn't that bad.

Maybe it's better now, I don't know. Or maybe there's something else?

We know and love Blender, but I really like Fusion 360's "tweakable stack of edits to the object" model, and while Blender HAS modifiers, they're not really designed for modeling from the ground up that way.

#blender suggestion needed: do you know any good plugin (even paid) to have a *better* "Shape Keys" UI ?
I would ideally want something with filtering and color/indication wether a shape key is changed because it's painful to find modified ones when you have a shitload of them :(

(Shape Keys+ does filtering and some other things but no color thing, and is pretty outdated now and super slow with a bunch of SKs)

I don't know if anyone else has been struggling to make a realistic eye with #Blender 's #EeveeNext. But if You're seeing the your environment where the iris should be you need to play with the thickness output in the shader. The eye here has a radius of 1m and the Iris didn't start appearing until I set the thickness under 0.4. I have it set to 0.05 right here as it seems to mess with the "focal length" of the eyes lens as well so I chose what felt like a sweet spot. Anyways, you're welcome.

Blender Journey Day 2: Slowly but surely I'm getting the hang of it. What do you think?

Experimenting with Doors.
Mark edge as "crease". In Geo nodes, Mesh-to-point (Edge). Instance "door" on Point. Rotate to Euler (Sample Nearest Surface - Normal of Wall).

But Normal isn't as straight as I'd like.
Somehow clamp it to nearest 90' ? How to do the thing?

red line: Instanced door angle
blue line desired door angle

Also need to stop Torches spawning on Doors, but that should be ok...
