Are you juggling between multiple #Blender versions and addons, develop extensions or teach Blender? You might want to check Blenderbase.
It is our internal tool to launch and download Blender, symlink addons.
Available for Win, Mac and Linux, it is free and open source.

Physically accurate atmospheric refraction just added in my #Blender addon Atmosphere² Core version. Rendered in Eevee.

Octavia VRS made with Distantlightsfx and @_martinsh new physical atmosphere2 in #b3d #blender3d #animation
We are currently exploring using compute shaders. This would improve consistency between Windows and macOS, and in our current tests, it is twice as fast. We are still evaluating all of the implications of this new approach. If we succeed, we'll launch it in the next week or two.

I haven't seen anything like that in Blender. A physical atmosphere sim (that works in EEVEE and lets you do eclipses and stuff) and lets you *zoom out to space*, basically?
p.s. Ah, it's developed by the creators of Flow. Now it makes sense.

Physical Atmosphere² adds insanely detailed skies to #Blender scenes
The add-on generates true spectral atmospheres, complete with ozone, atmospheric pollution, and even a 'stupidly advanced mode' for power users

#B3D #VFX #gamedev @PhysicalAddons
On Friday, we launched version 2 of our most popular addon PSA. Now with volumetric clouds. Moon. Eclipses. And many more, never before seen features. Written from scratch and fully based on physics and research.
Welcome to Physical Atmosphere² beta
superhivemarket.com/products…
current status:
Clouds & Atmosphere live playback in #Blender viewport from a random location on Earth (thus the weird camera angle)
High settings ~18fps at 4k on rtx4080.
You can get Atmosphere² on Superhive only.

Crazy impressive #b3d tech.
I’m on a vacation - first time in a long time. I can finally show something I’ve been working on for years.
This is the next big step after my first #Blender addon - Physical Starlight & Atmosphere, launched almost 7 years ago (!)
Let me introduce you the tech behind it. 🧵

Then Scattering and Transmittance is rendered in separate buffers. Now I can multiply your blender scene with the transmittance and add scattering on top! Voila!
That’s enough for now.
If you have anything particular to ask, feel free to. I will gladly delve into details.
coming soon👇 Atmosphere²
"Hello, World" by @astro_reid and @NASAArtemis in #Blender
Simulated with the upcoming Atmosphere² Addon.
Sun, Moon and planet positions are calculated by the date & time, and the position of the camera is driven by the Artemis II Ephemeris file.
The lighting is physically simulated from the Moon and Sun spheres, in real-time.
I had to bump up the Exposure value to see this result.
Exactly this.
That's us! 🌍
The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."

ALT A full disk image of Earth, as seen from the Orion capsule. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. From about 8 to 9 o'clock, a large brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula twinkling with lights just where the planet curves. At the 1 o'clock spot, aurora glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space. Credit: NASA/Reid Wiseman

I accidentally created an optical illusion in #Blender while implementing a hexagonal texture de-tiling.
The hex edges appear to slightly bend.

POW development has been quietly cooking for 3 weeks. Time to talk about it.
Our new intern Sphynxcolt — from our own Discord community — is working hand in hand with Mārtiņš on a new LUT-based wave system. No more hardcoded limitations. Future-proof architecture. Room to grow.
