Check out this 👀 Super useful Blender Free add-on for automatic hand rig grabbing. Love seeing workflow tools like this from the community. @xan2622 links in comments 👇 #B3D #Blender3D #Animation

Absolutely love this tip from @HekiTen10 🙌 Thinking about a run cycle foot path like a bicycle saddle is such a simple but powerful mental model for making motion read better fast. Super clear, super practical. 🚴‍♂️✨ #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

Recreating the stylized hair look from Arcane used to require complex custom shader networks or hours of hand-painted textures. tinynocky just released the Tiny Hair Shader for Blender—and there’s a free version you can download right now. It gives you full procedural control over specular highlights, sheen, gradients, and strand properties in EEVEE and Cycles with just a few slider tweaks. If you’re building stylized 3D characters, what’s the single hardest part of the workflow for you: hair, eyes, or skin shading? #b3d #Arcane

Making 3D animation feel genuinely 2D used to mean manually modeling weird, distorted meshes for every single smear frame. Now, a free Blender add-on handles it automatically. SMEAR—developed as part of a SIGGRAPH 2024 research paper—lets you bake procedural elongated in-betweens, ghosting multiples, and speed lines directly along your object's trajectory. You get full Geometry Node controls over length, noise patterns, and speed thresholds, without destroying your original rig or animation. If you animate in 3D, do you prefer procedural stylization tools like this, or do you still prefer sculpting smear frames by hand? #b3d #3danimation #geometrynodes
