Vibe coding is working as expected: it'll kill the open-source, secure, and ideologically maintained alternatives to make sure you have to pay the oligarchs to do anything at all, and they can control what you're allowed to make.

In #GPSketch 1.5, you can also import brushes from Krita, Photoshop, Procreate, Clip Studio Paint!
The tool will do its best to convert them with your settings in Blender but with the sidebar, you'll be able to tweak them with ease, then export them into your library!
I’ve seen the first two myself over the past year. The third is not very surprising.

Just upgraded to a new version of Acrobat, and... look.
I am reading a friend's NOVEL. Something I WANT to read. For ENJOYMENT.
Fuck off into the sun and take your designer with you.
Hey, thanks for reading all that! I mean remove all concept of having to swap mode context for actions. (I don't mean only edit mode but all others also) To me these separations of levels of interactions can easily be replaced by more specific tools, instead of having to switch modes before.

"One study found that professionals using Microsoft Word overwhelmingly preferred to use app iconography rather than shortcuts, even though learning shortcuts would help them work more efficiently."
"The majority of users tend to stick to between 1-10 shortcuts, which includes standard shortcuts for saving, copying and pasting, etc. And this isn’t just my opinion. It’s borne out in research too, some of which I’ve linked to in the description."
Lost in this otherwise great video about how a software dies, there is this bit about shortcuts, and how people don't use them. I feel like #blender3d needs to hear this

I... think I did it? Live fracture in Geometry Nodes. All existing solutions I could find were permanent one-way operations or slow/lossy voxel-based approaches. I won't share this because it's very specific to my needs, but I'll give a simple breakdown in the thread below. 👇🧵

He said will you delete it, its faces and all of its vertices, the shape that they have made
Quad modelling is ONLY needed for clean even subdivision and for fast ring/loop selections. Beyond that it doesn't do anything at all, and when exported than imported into games is triangulated.
Triangles are a useful part of efficient game modelling.
Quads are just a tool to get there.

Select some objects, press shift + A and then add squash and stretch rig

Still on my mind. What concerns me about this shift more than anything is while it can be marketed as a means of creators bucking the system, this additional financial burden can only be taken on by a fraction of artists, thus gentrifying the medium even further.
Do I need to add that there is nowhere I can see in the UI to edit that field?
Also, with all the inheritance and Oop patterns that blender uses, why aren't different types of brushes different subtypes to avoid all this unnecessary data in the brush model?
Wow greasepencil v3 brushes are... interesting.
Now there is only the "brush" tool, which uses brushes which contain the fields : gpencil_tool (!) but also gpencil_vertex_tool, gpencil_sculpt_tool, gpencil_weight_tool ? (and that's only the gp stuff! sculpt etc is also in there)
Nice one #blender3d

Hope you like it, big fan by the way. I have a blender starter pack and you're in it, hope that's ok!

Throw back to over 2 years ago?!
At that time I was developing a real-time paint stroke post-processing package for Unity. I moved on because some of the tech + learning in that unlocked an even cooler rendering pipeline that I'm using in our current game.

UI is a very overlooked part of DCC software and probably way more make or break than it's given credit for. So many people are held back just because of UI confusion. It can even break an entire workflow if there's no tech artist to help cut down the bloated interaction cost for the team.
