Blender 4.2 introduces Thin Film Iridescence for materials such as soap bubbles, oil, and pearls, without the need of custom shaders.

These images were rendered in Blender 4.2 Beta using values from https://physicallybased.info/

Thin film on metals isn’t yet supported but it's coming, according to info in this thread: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/118477

The latest MagicaCSG version includes nested sub-objects for compound Boolean operations.

Kitbashing has never been this effortless. Polygons and NURBS are sooo 1990s. 😉

Browsing through the new Extensions section (previously called "Add-ons") in the Blender 4.3 Alpha build preferences, I stumbled upon an extension that should be able to import native 3ds Max files. It even supports V-Ray and Corona materials. I haven't tested it yet, but I hope it works!

Ooh, nice…!

The creators of the Womp online SDF 3D editor are about to introduce an AI-aided way of converting polygonal meshes to SDF primitives.

This was one of my early uses of Allegorithmics Substance Painter, they used the image in one of their presentations so I was famous for a few minutes 😂

Another day, another piece of proof that** there are still no ethically sourced AI tools out there:**

It’s odd I feel like at one point we surpassed mid 90s CG cut scene graphics but never had a point where it matched
