I've been working on a Time Shift Blur filter for Blender. AKA mistimed shutter, this happens when the camera's mechanical shutter is knocked slightly out of sync with the film advance mechanism. The filter and an accompanying tutorial are coming out soon. Stay tuned :) #b3d

Ghost. More testing of the new compositor nodes in #b3d 5.2

Testing #b3d 5.2. Love the new Film Grain node. Got carry away and accidentally blew up a planet. Oh, and I’m working on a new tutorial :) #b3d #blender3d

I lean towards B. The speed makes it feel more appropriately scaled and realistic compared to A. I would try B with a bit less volume density. Nice work! 🍵

The Fediverse already exists as the solution. The problem is just inertia, people are used to how things work on the other platforms. The more users who make the switch, the better the experience gets for everyone.

I know the feeling. When I started, it felt like working with my hands tied behind my back. It’s frustrating until the logic clicks. The hotkeys are consistent across the whole program. I honestly miss that strict consistency when I use other tools now.

Kai🔸 @kaimuri.com · 09/02/2026

It’s a much smaller story in scope, which feels refreshing. It manages a delicate balance of being sweet and dramatic without feeling disjointed. Plus, the cinematography is stunning and the pacing is impeccable. I haven't read the novella, but I hear it's very faithful to the source.

Episode 4 of #AKnightoftheSevenKingdoms is the best television I’ve seen since the 4th episode of True Detective. A masterclass in dialogue and pacing.

Incredible to see what a small team can do with open-source tools. They managed to blend 3D, stop-motion, and 2D for an animated series. Badass #b3d

It is so cool to see how far #Godot has come. Also, I absolutely love release pages like this that actually hype you up for the new features. Getting #b3d vibes from the presentation, and I'm here for it.

Here's the sketch and the character ink work :)

A rough sketch of the cover art. The composition is established with loose, gestural lines in grayscale. The title "KOBOLDCRACY" is handwritten at the top, and the characters are blocked out in basic shapes without fine details

Digital ink of the antagonist, Ambrose. A handsome Tiefling with curved horns, a styled mustache, and a smug, charming smile. He wears a high-collared coat and ornate jewelry.

Digital ink of the protagonist, Golda. She is a kobold with small horns and wings, wearing armor with a chest crest. She stands behind a podium, gesturing passionately with one hand raised in a speech.

Digital ink of the antagonist, Svala. A stern, muscular goliath with facial tattoos and piercings. She wears a sharp, broad-shouldered suit with a ruffled cravat and a skull pin, hands in her pockets.

Here is the cover art I did for a D&D adventure. It’s a political thriller, so I went for a mix of vintage propaganda and Art Deco styles to match the vibe. #dnd #dndart #krita

Cover art for the D&D adventure module "Koboldcracy" done in a vintage Art Deco political poster style. In the center foreground, the main protagonist Golda, a determined kobold in armor, delivers a passionate speech from a podium with a raised fist. Looming behind her in large circular frames are her adversaries: Ambrose, a flamboyant Tiefling with a charming yet smug smile, and Svala, a stern, muscular woman in a sharp white suit with face tattoos. Below, the silhouettes of a crowd hold up protest signs.

Rewatched How to Train Your Dragon after 10 years and I can’t get over how tight the pacing is. The film doesn't drag for a single second. A masterclass in storytelling.

Just watched @mkbhd.com latest video and honestly, it might be one of his best ever. It really puts into perspective how sci-fi our current tech actually feels. Love seeing the craft behind this new video and that it’s made in Blender! #b3d youtu.be/Jh9pFp1oM7E?...
