The #LinkView #addon for #Blender is now ready to support Action Slots, new in Blender 4.4. #3d #b3d #rigtip #nodes #rigging #animation

What a fucking edge case...

If the UVs on the driver mesh of a uvPin node change such that the coordinates are now off mesh, it won't break...

...until the next time you open the file.

The #LinkView #addon for #Blender will have the ability to find and display invalid drivers. Very helpful to reveal deleted data blocks and renamed properties. #3d #b3d #rigtip #nodes #rigging #animation

The #LinkView #addon for #Blender will have the ability to find and display object and collection pointers inside #GeometryNodes. Here's a short preview of how it might be helpful.

The good thing about writing add-ons is that you'll learn the software even better and explore new territory. Yesterday it was the Bone Armature constraint in #Blender, which I didn't know before. Now it works nicely in #LinkView.

Working on the final touches for #LinkView for #Blender.

Here's a collection of link types which are currently supported. Not sure if something important is missing. Take a look.

Making some good progress with #LinkView for #Blender. It's finally coming together.
Here's a sample of testing with a random rig in full (even though a complete graph is not really useful )

Here's a quick preview of a very useful #addon for #Blender we're currently working on. It let's you easily find driver links and target objects between the related data blocks and displays them in a node tree.

Ten minutes of tweaking the eyelid setup last night and I was able to get the beginnings of a pretty decent mouth rig.

Geo Nodes is so well designed. One thing leads to another and ideas seem to just fall out of it!

Here's a guide to the Symmetry Map feature included in the #blender3d #smoothWeights #addon.

It's extremely helpful and time saving when working with any symmetrical mesh because it also respects topological mirroring.

Raise your hand if you've ever been personally victimized by #maya node types.

cmds.objectType(node) == 'transform' returns False if node is a joint...

Fuck me that was a subtle bug...

Fixed our Rig Panel for the Opening Character(didnt work with teh new Blender Versions). Making everyone happy by using icons and colors (same as Controlls) #rigtip #blender3d #animation
