Does anybody has already organized a pipeline to collaborate on a Blender -> Godot project ? I would be interested by feedback/ideas
I am working on one to ease transmission of game assets. Important features will be the possibility to have git repository for both parts, Blender files and Godot project, so I have to manage filepaths not completely in Blender file but partially in a sidecarfile as contributors will each have their relative path. #b3d#blender#blender3d#godotengine#godot
Trying out generating external files based on the whole asset hierarchy of a level (this actually spans assets from multiple blend files !) in the .ron format used by #bevy_asset_loader (a fantastic crate for #bevy
Also based on the data in #Blender it is trivial to generate asset files either for a full level or for specific blueprints.
I am still unsure if it makes sense to use external files or if it is better to embed the asset information inside the gltf files' gltf_extras fields
I'm relative new in #Blender Python and still struggle with some basic logic. I've searched for an answer already, but the examples/solutions are mostly outdated or too complex for my understading.
Can someone give me an quick up to date example how to check if "any object is selected" and return a True or False then, or "do something" if True.
@CWernerArt Oh, sorry about that. Hashtags often do nothing on other platforms, or have the opposite effect (like #Blender was banned on X for a while, due to a terrible video of a cat being put in a Blender...). I usually do #Blender3D.
I was happy to once again collaborate with Pidilite (An Indian multinational company specializing in adhesive and related products) to transform their Rangeela Mascot from 2D to 3D. This version of the mascot was for the moulding dough product. The mascot will be used in packaging and marketing material. This was a fun and refreshing project. Creating the clay dough effect was an amazing experience.
More work done tonight on #blenvy (potential name, not quite sure), the #blender tools for #Bevy
improved UI & workflow for Assets: the per level/world assets are displayed in the assets tab
since blueprints are a logical "unit" (ie reusable hierarchy of components, meshes AND their associated assets), the assets for blueprints & any other future data related to blueprints are under the "blueprints" tab
If you have feedback, remarks, criticism, don't hesitate !
As I am always struggling to remember how to get the noise I want in my procedural shaders in Blender, I have started to make screen captures of nodes and the corresponding result.
And I was wondering if it would be of some use to others. If so, I can create a repository with the screencaptures and a zip file with all of them. So git peoples will have everything sync with a command, and other people would download a zip.
Long time no post, but there are a TON of upcoming changes for my #blender tools for the #bevyengine
I'll post more details in the coming days & weeks until release but here are a few random:
merging of the the #gltf_auto_export & bevy_components add-on for a better user ( and dev) experience
complete control of the gltf export settings (no more trimmed down version)
total rewrite of change detection for auto export , for a much more reliable workflow
I sorta want to make a 60fps version, maybe at half speed. But that would mean 4x the frames as this one, and I'm not ready to devote 6 hours of render time to this.
Decided to modify my existing USS Yeager corridor set (first image) to create a corridor for the USS Cerberus.
Still in progress, of course, but you can compare the first two images and see the different style I'm going for with this one. Besides adding more details, I've still got to replace the lift with a different style.
Did a quick LCARS screen using existing elements for the Cerberus corridor.
I also did a new turbolift based on the USS Prometheus one (which was a redress of the Enterprise-D emergency turbolift, only seen in TNG twice). Might change it to something else, it's a bit on the small side.
Recreated the turbolift graphic from the Prometheus, but on the Cerberus colors for the lift. I also modeled the handrails and the remaining corridor panels.
