#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.

This week I'll do another Roast my Add-on! Let me know if you want me to roast yours. ESPECIALLY if it's a simple add-on, or something you're still working on, this could be a good idea.

Phew, the new #Alembic exporter is done! It's now using the same code base as the #UniversalSceneDescription exporter, paving the way for the future. And fixing a bug reported by @3DBystedt

Now it's waiting for review at https://developer.blender.org/D7664

Alembic HDF5 support: completely remove from #Blender?

If you use a custom build of Blender in order to use #HDF5 #Alembic files, please speak up at https://devtalk.blender.org/t/alembic-hdf5-support-completely-remove/12197

#b3d #devfund

Especially for @zuggamasta@twitter.com and all the other METABALLS lovers: Blender's @openusd@twitter.com exporter now also supports exporting metaballs! As with the #Alembic exporter, they are converted to a mesh first. Of course animation is supported as well :)

Together with @atmind@twitter.com I just gave a presentation at the first NL CG Pipeline Meetup! The atmosphere is good, and we met interesting people (and some old friends).
