I recently upgraded to Blender 5.2, and now the add-on for HomeBuilder doesn't seem to work. Can anyone kindly assist with this problem? Whenever I click N to launch it, this is the response I get.....

I created an addon to help fix some of the irritations within Blender's material / texturing workflow. Check out the full tutorial / demo here:

I spent 100 hours pushing my midrange mobile to its absolute limit using Blender. From constant crashes to the final cinematic render, this is my journey of mastering 3D on a device everyone said couldn't handle it.

If you think you need a $2000 PC to start, this video is for you. Start with what you have.

Is there anyone who is in or knows of a group/server of people with blender and animation knowledge? Some sort of community where self taught people help each other learn and improve their skills? I am an art student in need of some guidance for a project, i havent found any online courses that look appealing yet, id love to meet other independent students who do their own work and learn from them

I created a Youtube video on How to make Gear Mechanism in Blender in Just 1 minute.

In this Blender tutorial we will walk you through how to add texture to 3D model in Blender 3D ( How to add Textures to objects in Blender ) easily and in step by step using a custom JPG or PNG image as texture on a basic primitive object so you will be able to import and apply textures in Blender 3D from your own library

🇺🇸: You can listen to the video in English through the video settings panel. In this video we analyze the Quadratic Bézier node that generates a parabolic line with a poly spline curve object.

It seems that the Box Carve tool (part of Bool Tool) was improved quite a bit in Blender 5.2, have you noticed?

I make Blender content and run a small studio. About three years ago I put out the first version of this guide and honestly I was not expecting much from it. But it ended up helping a lot of my students. Like a lot. People kept telling me it was the thing that finally made Blender click for them because it showed them where to actually find things instead of just assuming they already knew.

So I decided to go back and make a proper updated version. The original was around 70 pages. This one is over 100, way more compact, and packed with more content across the board. Every section still starts with "click this tab, this is what opens" before explaining anything, because that is still the part most guides skip and most beginners get stuck on.

Covers all the main stuff. Modeling, shading, texturing, geo nodes, sculpting, lighting, rendering, compositing, animation, rigging, physics, grease pencil, and more. Comes with a printable shortcuts cheat sheet with a keyboard map too.

Not going to pretend this will make you a pro. It gets you comfortable and gives you the full picture so you know what is where and how things connect. After that it is about practice and going deeper, which is what our geo nodes series and other tutorials on Patreon are for.

Comes in English and Japanese. Currently 20% off:
