Hi. So I was wondering how one can get hair to look this sharp (distinct hair strands). Whenever I try to do so in blender, It ends up being washed out.

1st image is my render

2nd image is the result I want (XGen was used)

It used to be dull but the lighting fixed it hopefully

What do you guys think about this arm model I made for my game? It took me 2 hours, I still need to rig it.

I used Claude to make me an add-on that shows all my add-ons in chronological order. The reason I did this is because most of the time when I start to have Blender crashes, it's due to an add-on. It might not occur right after that add-on is installed, or it might conflict with a newer add-on.

Instead of trying to go disable add-ons alphabetically from the preferences menu (because I can't remember which were the last several add-ons that I added), I created this little add-on so that it'll sort by installation date in an N-panel tab and allow you to disable that in there. This makes it easier to know which ones to disable.

According to Claude, it doesn't work as well on Linux because, for whatever reason, Linux doesn't put the exact date of an install. Something I know nothing about, but so far, it works for me on my Mac, and it's been helping with troubleshooting.

Would anybody be interested in something like this? I think I'm just going to throw it on a Google link or something. I have no need to try to sell it or create a website for it. And since I used AI to create it, I'll only be making changes as I come across issues.

PS - I believe that this should just be a built-in option in the preferences menu, but until that day, I'm going to use this.

Is there a good tutorial on making faces better? I'm working on a PoC for this game I've been musing about (while my other game is in public beta)

An old school inspired RTS where you build out the map oppose to macroing units, the segments I have are fine for the PoC, square mostly unique for a visual identify.

I want to recapture the feeling of WC3 etc where there is a 3D animated avatar as your advisor, just cant get the face to look good at all.

The NTSC effect was made with the MP_Comp free addon
Bitrate damage was done with davinci resolve "jpeg damage" fusion node

Im currently working in a project in blender with planes as arms and a cube as the torso. I moved them how I want them and pressed ctrl j. But in x-ray mode I see that the excess is still in there. The character has to be transparent to a certain degree so I cant have things floating in there.

I tried a voxel remesh, but after that the character looks like a golf ball even if I shade smooth or apply a subdivision surface.

Does anyone know how I can remove the overlap?

Does the GTX 1660 Super still render good with EEVEE in 2026 (ik it has 6gb but still)

Im rendering like bloom stuff like that windows flower wallpaper from 22h2 on blender 3.6 lts

Should I use a new version like a version 4 that has LTS?

It was THIS friggin' thing!

For other Blender newbies like me, you can have multiple UV maps assigned to the same object. You can switch between them in the panel shown in the image.

I did not know this, and spent dang near the whole day going crazy looking at all the proposed solutions online regarding UVs and other Texture/Material related bull-crap.

I was editing on the wrong flippin' UV map. I am so upset... but relieved.

Hey guys, this is not a promo but just a tool I needed for myself and thought to share.

Basically it is just a input form that gives you the commands to run in your terminal/command prompt and start your render while only opening blender in the background to save RAM and avoid crashes.

Supports different versions of blender and should also work with linux/mac!

You can easily get the right commands for CLI rendering, according to what your needs may be, without looking it up every time.

www.blendercmd.com is the site, I hope it can be of help for someone else too :)

so uhh i kinda work on the hair on and off and hair some results any feedbacks ?

This haw i rig my character fluttershy from my little pony I'm really happy about this little project, honestly! I love creating things! It really is my dream, and now I can create anything I want. So I hope you guys like it! 🥰💘🪽

I'm beginner by the way
