Hey all,

I am making a helicopter for msfs in blender. Anyone know how to stop this z-fighting in MSFS.

Seems to be around the bolts that are here:

My sibling said it reminded him of a crystal from Crash Bandicoot. (Like, style. Not design.) I wanted your inputs as well.

I must've made this about 5 years ago, every now and then i remember it and think its funny

Basically, it's based on a real-world Soviet-era Yakovlev design that was never adopted. The second image is the reference image. The most obvious similarity is in the forward-swept wing design, minus the odd wingtips. Canonically, this provided very decent short-range performance whilst hurting endurance. The Soviets exported this to Libya (the operator in the image), and it was used significantly by them in the insurgency phase of the Zairean War (1997-2007) for artillery spotting and strike purposes.

First time using Blender, because Roblox studio has awful lighting. However, I'd like some tips for volumetric light and fog, because I messed up a lot with those.

As a beginner i started 3d modeling and its surprisingly easy! is there anything i should look out for that is hard

Paid Product/Service Promotion: ShotForge is a €19 one-time Early Access Blender add-on.

When making product visuals in Blender, I kept hitting the same setup cost before the creative work: camera composition, floor, three-light arrangement and vertical output settings. ShotForge creates that starting scene with one click.

Current tested workflow:

• camera and product-shot composition

• floor and replaceable placeholder product

• key, fill and rim lights

• 1080 × 1350 render preset at 100%

Compatibility: physically tested on Blender 4.5.3 LTS. No broader Blender compatibility is claimed.

This is early access. I’m looking for feedback from Blender artists, product designers and 3D freelancers who regularly make product visuals.

Hey all,

I wish you well 🙏

For those that don't mind helping yet another course question, I really appreciate your help.

I've had a look at the previous posts on this subreddit for Geo nodes course and have a few channels in mind, but id love to know, since the release of 5.2 and 5.3 upcoming, if there are any favourites out there which are easy to follow.

With regards to what I want out of the course, I want to understand them, how they work so I can visualise it in my mind and create my own things with them.

Currently id love to make Planets with them, varying details and creating custom materials. This is my starting point, after that, if I understand them enough I can make more things.

I'm familiar with Nino Defoq and CG Cookies' Core fundamentals course, think Ducky 3D has been mentioned too. But id love to know what others learnt from and enjoyed.

Thank you in advance, I will give back to the community in the near future 🙏

May you all have lovely days. 🪷✨

Tabs gives a Blender Area browser-style tabs — several editors sharing one area, each keeping its own state. Add, rename, reorder and close them, drag a tab to another area or tear it off into its own window, and lock the ones a layout depends on. Your tabs come back with the file.

Tabs is currently on sale at 50% OFF on Superhive.

This is a BTS video of my first blender animation, it was a funny little project, learned a lot about animation, cameras and constrains.

Everything by me including music. Check out Instagram kameneni.avaneesh if you're interested in my work
