They decided that they will switch to diameter for the brushes a couple of meetings ago so the pixelart functionality will be back when they have time or whatever too.

This is something I'll never understand.
People keep saying that anyone being serious about their 3D work will just use Substance Painter anyway and that this fact plays a role in them not actively caring / not hiring anyone to take care of the texture mode. But if they don't care because people use something else than why dump so much time into aping Houdini with the node memes? Anyone being serious will "simply" just use Houdini.
There's literally no excuse to ignore the texturing mode especially when there are even attempts by the community through addons. The guy who runs the Blender Today show also keeps mentioning how this is sooo sad, that they know, but nooooo one comes up and offers working on that mode. How about fucking hiring a professional programmer then? You can't tell me with all the hundreds of thousands of funding by now you can't afford one dedicated programmer for half a year.

Texture paint is waiting for the landing of the texturing 3d brush, that has been in experimental 2-3 years, you can try it now as sculpt texture paint, after that they want to work in performance, no news about colors in multires, Dobarro did a prototype, and paint layers, if you need them you have 2 extensions, HAS Paint Layers, it is the only one that have an exporter, and Ucupaint that comes with sculpt layers, at the end of the day it is a problem of resources, they need at least 2 new developers for the sculpt mode and the edit mode.

Is there any way to apply different values to different faces of the same image texture Material, e.g. The Belt Buckle has a metallic of 1, the belt 0.75, and the cloth 0? Or would I have to make multiple duplicate materials, adjust the values, and apply them to the given faces/UV islands?

The general answer is: attributes. Your material can get a value of metallic per face from geometry through attribute nodes. To specify those values in geometry itself you'd have to use >>1009809.

the design task that he wrote is still in the module, they want to merge all the paint modes and all that, the main problem is that, after the community backlash, Roosendaal sided with the community for some reason, anyhow the main advantage of Dobarro was that he was able to churn a fuckton of shit in no time, new brushes, facesets, the expand tools, remesh, the normal brush etc... he had design task for a plasticity a like implementation, retopo, texturing and lots of other shit that we will never have, yes he didn't like dyntopo, no developer other than Joseph Eagar likes it.

I personally think all characters in this video are fully 2d, not any kind of fancy 3d NPR.
At least some backgrounds are definitely 3d, and the part at 0:42 looks like intentionally messy Cycles render.
> Also any ideas on how all 3d objects have the lineart? Is it a grease pencil thing or manually drawn?
At this point there are a dozen of ways to do automatic lineart, here is a slightly old video which includes all the main ones:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ur
But I'm pretty sure a few days ago I've seen a newer video with 10 or more techniques, can't find it.
One of the automatic techniques uses lineart modifier that generates grease pencil strokes dynamically,
but grease pencil is also often used for manually doing lineart in places that are hard or impossible to automate.
You can easily combine any automatic technique + manual grease pencil in places where automatic technique failed.

Blender doesn’t work on animation side of things. That’s why Flow the movie had to spend 5 million dollars because Blender would do something bad. No tool or skill is going to stop Blender corruption. The developers who can change Blender have done nothing to resolve the issues and only cause people to install Blender 2.8 or something so it doesn’t cause corruption.

I wish Color Management actually worked properly throughout Blender if you use an OCIO other than the default. I use the regular basic bitch ACES profile without any issue in Krita and Natron, yet selecting colors is scuffed in Blender.
And while we're at it, I wish you could override and select a profile in Blender itself instead of having to mess around with environment variables.

Throwing this issue up here in the hopes maybe someone can help: I have a sword design I want to cut out of sheet metal pictured left, and I am using this extension:https://extensions.blende
I've got two main problems: The first being that for some reason the export process likes to rotate the pieces of the crossguard. That in of of itself isn't a big deal, it'd just be nice to keep everything aligned and close to save on metal.
The second issue is I'm sure obvious, it's that the dxf to G-CODE process seems to miss some points and/or it's shifting the geometry around.
Any advice would be appreciated.

First off why in the world would you do that? Debugging this could take longer than just re-drawing that in the 2D CAD of your choice.
Other than that try converting the geometry into curves, or mesh inside geometry nodes or any combination thereof.
Make sure everything that could be one closed curve is actually one in geometry nodes.
Also g-code is nothing special it's basically text. For that reason you could go straight from blender to g-code with a python script. (use you favorite llm chatbot to generate the script.) ofc you'd want to offset the lines by the thickness of the cut.

I like solvespace, it's FOSS, minimalist and intuitive, It's constraint based meaning you make a sketch and define dimensions and the solver adjusts the drawing to match.
qcad also has a free version which is a more traditional cad. I wouldn't bother with that though as solvespace is so easy.

I forgot to add that you can enable sculpt texture paint to test the 3d brush too, it has been in experimental almost a year the main problem is that they don't have ported the other tools to the sculpt mode.

Okay, so I have this rig set up so that I can cycle through an image sequence for 2D expressions for a character. I'm kind of of retarded though.
How do I take this whole thing I have with the control, the rig, and the image sequence and import it to the file where my character is so I can attach it to that? The guy in the tutorial I was following completely skipped over that part. Or you don't have to tell me just point me in the right direction at least.

On 2.79 because of a plugin so for all I know it's been added since, but is/was there a reason that sliding vertices can't snap to edges? It acts as if you've got it set to increment instead of snap to closest edge/vertex/whatever

The thing is that the features being developed are the ones where the devs show up to work on them. If texture paint isn't being worked on, it's not the geonodes, grease pencil, or any other team's fault.

Not that guy, but the trick is simply to bake in light and shadows to a color texture ("albedo", but not albedo, because albedo means color texture without light info)

this is something you want to do outside of Blender or use a baking addon, because it's a convoluted process in vanilla blender and I don't think you can bake eevee textures without addons
(I've used SimpleBake and it seems to work fine, but I don't know if there's better nowadays)

I'm trying to render an animation to MP4 with audio from the sequencer, but evidently I've accidentally changed something in my blend file. This functions as intended in a new file but not my existing project. I'm currently using 4.3.2.
I'm well aware this approach isn't ideal for final render. The purpose of this is to shit out an animatic with the least work necessary.

After further experimentation I've discovered that having any visual strips (even muted or its channel muted) will force the render to switch to the sequencer's view. I'm at a loss for what arcane trickery I did to get around this a year ago.

I doubt it, because they're trying to make it all happen in nodes. And simulating in nodes is very difficult. Their repeat node doesn't have conditions, can't work on a field level, and it just generally slow. So if they try to implement substeps, the whole simulation will slow down by a lot.

My PC isn't low end. It's a modest gaming PC. Not pushing the latest and greatest parts for 2025. But it can play Elden Ring at max with no hiccups. Geometry node simulation is just slow. Almost every function in Geometry nodes is slower than the coded equivalent.

Hello friends, I'm just trying out Blender (with no 3d experience whatsoever) and I'm having a problem.
I'm trying to model a simple low poly version of this image, but I think I'm using the wrong tool (Loop Cut and Extrude) for the job.
I'm thinking about making the cuts, then moving the parts around until it fits the general "shape" of the example image. But when I move them into their places, I end up leaving those "2d faces" around, and when I try deleting one of them multiple disappear.
What's the proper way of doing what I want?

I really don't understand what I'm doing wrong, I'm not selecting other faces or anything, so why does everything around it disappear?
I might be constructing the thing completely wrong and that's why I'm encountering so many problems...

you need to learn the difference between deleting and dissolving things
as a general rule of thumb:
delete faces
dissolve edges
verts you go between depending on what you want
also it looks like some of your faces aren't really connected. like verts just sitting on top of other verts.
you should do a basic modelling tutorial - it'll take an hour and save you a lot of frustration.

I need advice.
Is Blender's rigging and animation pipeline equivalent to 3dsmax in terms of ease of use and performance?
I've heard that it may be better for complex animations, but game animations are simpler, so how does Blender deal with it compared to 3ds max?
Would it be difficult to follow 3ds max game animation tutorials in blender for a beginner?

Blender doesn’t do anything related to animation. 4 years of Flow and all they can do is make animals move. It’s never going to match 3ds max levels of animation.

Hi, I'm looking for a video that was floating around the youtube algorithm this week/month; it was about replicating and setting up the rigging responsible for jiggle physics that ends up getting used in stuff like gacha games and marvels rivals. I believe the character Trigger from Zenless Zone Zero was used as an example of breast & thigh jiggle. The video mentioned something about how radial geometry vs mesh geometry didn't matter, so long as the bones were rigged in a relatively simple way.
I've tried looking for it myself without any luck, and I can't find it in my history, as I accidentally cleared it a few days ago. I'm hoping someone here knows what I'm talking about or bookmarked it or something. I'm very bad at art, but something like pic related in a modeling program was used when discussing how mesh vs radial geometry didn't matter

It was a comparison between radial mesh like in https://youtu.be/4Y47CP-HVHI and the same model but with a square grid-mesh, showing that you'd get very similar end products.

They still haven't fixed the armature deform performance loss from blender 2 to 3. I remember talking about it with people here years ago, and now we're on version 4, and I can still open up a regular character, animate a bit, and for some reason it is still slower than in the latest 2.x version, when using the solid view. And you want them to fix nodes, orders of magnitude more complicated. We're dead in the water, anon, while they piss around fucking with Eevee's lights.

Those are bad blender modeling techniques. The origin is from puppeteers to greet the audience. If you do it right now, you’ll see your hand closer to the shoulder thus the technique for the puppet master was created. No such thing is required in 3D space because it’s used based on purpose for movement.
