Constraints can now use Custom Space with a custom object to define the evaluation space. Great work by Henrik Dick!

@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.

Today we had a #Blender #Animation & #Rigging module meeting. Here are the meeting notes: https://devtalk.blender.org/t/2020-10-01-animation-rigging-module/15602/3

#Blender can now export custom properties to Alembic. Can anyone help me out with some jazzy example file that really shows off the spectacular results that can be had with this new feature? We'd like to use that when announcing the feature for 2.91.

Snappier animation is now possible wtih #Blender! This video shows the difference in maximum snappyness between Blender 2.90 and the upcoming 2.91. Both balls are animated with just two keyframes.
