@wesmcdermott.bsky.social Hey Wes! Wanted to ask an expert about this strange issue I've noticed since the new GPU renderer was added. In Substance 3D Designer with Windows scaling set to 150% the 2D is not showing the correct true 100% scale. Is this a bug? @adobe.com

@blender.org hey what's the deal with the more recent versions of blender and Wacom tablets I can't get my custom button mapping to work anymore The only way is to run blender in administrative mode and then once you switch to another application and back they are broken again!

@maxonvfx.bsky.social Redshift Toon time. Finally getting around to playing with the new toon stuff in RS. Too much fun! I think I'm going to play around with some more NPR rendering soon.

www.sastudios.xyz/3d-assets Moved my assets over to Lemon Squeezy because Squarespace has an insane 300mb file size limit! Also lowering prices across the board since everything else on the planet is becoming more expensive. #C4D #3D #blender #Octrane #Redshift

Earlier today, I was trying to grasp the size of a single atom. I calculated that if a silicon atom were scaled up to 1 foot across, the straight-line distance between LA and Portland would be equal to the number of silicon atoms that fit across 1mm 🤯

If you want #cinema4d #3d on Windows to feel a bit more "Apple OSX" you can simply swap the GUI Font out to Apple's beautiful SF Pro!!! @maxonvfx.bsky.social developer.apple.com/fonts

Technical question here… Does anyone know how to extract the raw depth data that an iPhone captures with each photo? I’ve been able to get the 8bit depth maps but am hoping to be able to get 16 or even 32bit

The death of Twitter has brought me here. Hopefully, there is a growing 3D community here.
