Fix Smoothing Issues in #blender with the Smooth By Angle modifier. When using the Plating Generator modifier in #b3d, smooth shaded meshes can look bad without this. Here, the Donut on the right is exactly the same apart from having a Smooth By Angle modifier added.

SkyBlade Turnaround - adding in a little motion blur and bloom helps add a touch of 'realism' (heavy quotes) #b3d #substancepainter

@BlacklightProd4 @chippwalters It remains in development hell until I can get the openCV library easily imported :( I was hoping Blender’s new wheels system would help me, but I looked into it last week and I don’t *think* it will.

Latest #b3d personal project. Avoid artefacts with subdivision surface modelling by always trying to keep E- and N- poles (verts with 5 or 3 connecting edges) on the flatter parts of the mesh. #blender #retopology #3dmodeling

Want a seamless blend between objects in #Blender? 1️⃣ Select them & press Ctrl+J to join. 2️⃣ Add a Remesh Modifier & lower Voxel Size carefully. 3️⃣ Add a Smooth Modifier & set Repeat to 100. ⚠️ High poly warning! How might I retopologize this? Stay tuned… #b3d #b3dtips

There is something called Quad Remesh built into Blender which is a *little* like ZRemesher, although not as sophisticated. Other add-ons are of course available. In the animation, I drag the Remesh modifier to the top of the stack so it is executed before the deformation (the opposite order of 3DS Max)

Seeing as my last #b3d post went down so well, what else would you like me to post tips on for #blender or anything else?

When deforming text in #blender, the result can often appear stretched & distressed. Quickly Fix it by adding a Remesh modifier, set it to Sharp, untick Remove Disconnected and increase the Octree Depth. Be careful of high geometry though! #b3d
