Blender Asset Tracer v1.3 just released, with support for Geometry Nodes. Get it fresh from https://pypi.org/project/blender-asset-tracer/

Soon to come: a Blender Cloud add-on update that bundles this version of BAT.

#Blender3D patch management made easier: I wrote some shell scripts to pull patches into your local git repo in a more convenient way.

I'm getting the hang of the Fish shell, thanks @spreeker for pointing it out to me :)

Bake Action in #Blender now has better Euler discontinuity filtering!

In this image you see the result of Bake Action: Euler discontinuities in 2.91 (left) and smooth curves in 2.92 (right).

@sastuvel Just tested it with 3 armatures of previusly baked animations and they all work perfectly.

I'm still looking for people to test this functionality! It's not in #Blender yet. Download my custom Blender build from https://developer.blender.org/D9602, test it on some real-world files, and let me know if it works for you.

Today I implemented a new Euler filter, to remove discontinuities from rotations. If you want to help test the new filter, please download an experimental #Blender build …

It's so interesting to see people's responses.

@EpicGames gives Blender $1.2 MILLION.

@Facebook gives Blender 1/10th of that.

World: OH MY GOD BLENDER IS TAKEN OVER BY FACEBOOK!

Don't worry folks. It's just a donation, not an investment.

New #Animation Features in #Blender 2.91! https://youtu.be/iaPlkAmRpHo

Thanks @lucianomunoz_ for showing it so nicely!

#b3d #devfund

Blender's 2D Cursor in the Graph Editor can now be snapped from the Shift+S pie menu. Two new options: "Cursor to Selected" and the never seen before "Cursor Value to Selected", which only updates the cursor value but doesn't touch the current frame.

Keyframes can now be inserted losslessly, so without changing any of the actual animation.

In the image, the thin blue line shows the original FCurve shape. It's hidden behind the green curve in Blender 2.91 because they're the same.
