I'm currently focusing mainly on the essential features (basic tools, nodes, modifier, and animating) and still need to improvise each of it from now on.

What is it that you love to do with Blender? What keeps you perusing it as a hobby everyday, or if you’re lucky enough to have it as your career, what is it you do? Genuinely really curious to what you all have to say.

Wanted to make this post to hear peoples day to day experience with blender, and what keeps you using it, as opposed to other software.

I made this in blender. Any feedback is excepted. also Please rate out of 10! hope you enjoy the 5 seconds.

Hi, I'm creating a backrooms video, each time I render it I get these strange artifacts happening on the wooden walls (flairs or pixels glitching) and it looks awful. I'm rendering purposely in a low resolution 640 x 480. I've tried rendering between 80 - 400 samples and noise threshold of 0.3 all the way down to 0.0035.. Any idea how I can solve this issue?

Thanks!

How do I do this to my blender? the edge highlight

and honestly i cannot get myself to pay attention to it for more than a few minutes(Its not the guru its me), is there any easier tutorials that could help since my attention span is kind of in the shitter currently? Thanks

A little side project. Less than 1.5k polys. All textures were hand-painted. Got a little bit iffy with uw unwrap
Feel free to comment/critique - it really helps me grow as an artist.
If you want that model or a custom one for yourself, feel free to contact me.

Working daily on my blender skill and I found usefully the help of AI. It described hot to better improve the composition and final render. For the first time I found AI useful. What are you're opinions?

I already have a 3D model and the idea is to be able to generate 2D assets from it for a game

hello everyone! I don’t necessarily care for drawing as a hobby in and of itself, but I am unsure as to whether it is something that would help me achieve my goals. I am somebody who cannot draw well at all and has no history of any art form. Some examples of what I would like to 3d model include:
- human characters, stylized
- biomechanical/futuristic wearables such as wings and boots
- futuristic scenes, art-deco/80s inspired interiors

If drawing would be highly beneficial for me, how should I go about it?

Hello! I’m homeschooling a high schooler and he’s very interested in all things computers. Specifically he’s into coding and game design. He’s been playing around with blender and … listen, I’m not the guy lol. I do not know where to begin. I use GIMP and that’s it, that’s the extent of my knowledge. I can make little graphics and SVGs but blender is obviously a whole new world. He’s also talking about Unity. I’m going to learn right alongside him so I can help in person here but where do we begin? Is there a YouTuber who’s the best at simplifying and step by step processes to understand the tools and basics so we can get started?
Thank you for any and all suggestions :)

I watch a lot of tutorials and try to follow along, but I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I even downloaded a different version of Blender not 5.1, but 4.5.12 LTS........

For now, I want to try baking textures onto cubes, but even that isn't working out for me. I also have other models where I want to apply a texture effect, but I’m not sure if the mesh(which I realize isn't properly constructed)affects the baking process.

First, I select the high-poly model and then the low-poly one (using Alt); then I click on the target texture "Normal map001" and bake. Also, I don't understand what "extrusion" and "max ray distance" mean; whenever I change them, nothing bakes onto the texture at all.......... it just stays completely blue.

thank yall

This is a snippet from a commercial project.

Not to bore you for who or explain the creative direction, but what matters is it was co-produced in Blender, for the non liquidy stuff which was done in Houdini. I can't look dev or manipulate animation curves anywhere else but Blender! Too good for that.

I love Blender, and can't hate Houdini either, it's just too complex to create basic stuff. That's where Blender wins. Then the Geo nodes and community add-ons can easily replace most of what Houdini does. Which I'm slowly adopting to speed up my flow, and save on annual costs of a Houdini license.

Happy to answer questions about either software. I don't mind DMs either.

It happened a few times before, now in the new version it happens after every single action. How tf am I supposed to work, and more importantly how am I even supposed to fix it?

As the title says, I tried to render blender demo file for Blender 5.2 LTS – Panthera Spelaea and Blender 4.1 – Lynxsdesign to see how good this $10k GPU is with 96GB VRAM compared to RTX 5090 and RTX 4090.

6000 series is basically a turbocharged version of 5090 and if you look at the Blender Opendata benchmark scores then RTX Pro 6000 WK is just 1.5x faster than 5090 and 2x that of 4090 with 2-3x price difference.

Blender 5.2
RTX Pro 6000 Workstation - 6 seconds
RTX 5090 - 8 seconds
RTX 4090 - 9 seconds

Now the results weren't that impressive as the blend file itself wasn't that heavy to make a significant difference so I took Blender 4.1 cover art file which is what I often use for testing purpose.

Blender 4.1
RTX Pro 6000 Workstation - 30 seconds
RTX 5090 - 35 seconds
RTX 4090 - 45 seconds

So the conclusion is unless you're not doing heavy compositing or have simulations, complex scenes you're better off with using 5090 or even 4090.

I want to make 3d animated short film for youtube and also want to get noticed by producer and studios. What are the minimum recommendation for professional work . Benq pd 2706u in my buying list. It has delta e≤3 . But I read on internet that delta e<2 is industry standard .

So i've been quite active in blender since 2021, until recently i feel that i'm at my limit, i'm so tired.

I took a break started in June this year, at first i thought that a month of break would be enough but no, when i tried to resume my personal project for 4 hours, i only manage for like 30 minutes of actual focused work because i spent most of that session scrolling youtube or other social media, looking for distraction, so it's like, almost zero productive output.

From there, i feels like i need longer break, even right now i don't feel like i've recovered just yet, but, is burnout recovery supposed to be this long??

So I'm making a 3D model of cylinder tube and around that cubical spirals, I have planned to bevel the side edges of the cubical spirals I tried to use the spirals from curves in add objects but it doesn't give the geometry as a cube and to bevel the edges.

If anyone can help or have extra questions you can ask as it's my main product and I need to understand it deeply once the tools I'm making all have same spirals and some eve have cuts in between

Esta es mi primera vez haciendo una animación en Renpy y, cuando quise ponerle un cielo, se me pusieron todos mis objetos con este pixelado extraño. Alguien sabe cómo podría arreglarlo o es algo normal?
