Volume slicing between two splats in Blender 5.3 Beta. Already leveraging some utils I created, like decimate and points highlight (here scaling and set to white when on the face of the slicing object, though compositor doesn't work on them for some reason). #b3d #gaussiansplat

Another example: volumetric-slicing. Extremely simple with the new SDF Grid option in Blender 5.2. Both "in and out" slicing. I'll also share the Blender file with all the utils I'm demoing once I finalize the list and clean it up. #b3d #gaussiansplat

Blender 5.3 supports gaussian-splat natively, just drop your .ply file in the scene! I'm collecting in this thread some cool things you can do by combining it with geometry-nodes and basic shader #b3d #gaussiansplat

A simple example of interactive points-displacement via geometry-nodes. Here we simple offset the position of the point cloud, but we can do smarter things, also based on the splat attributes. #b3d #gaussiansplat

First thing first... why does it look fluffy? Looked cool here, but it's actually an error. Because of Gaussian splats formulation, you shouldn't apply a rotation on the imported object. Adjust it instead during import time or via a proxy.

V2 of my Differential-Growth setup in Blender is out! Get it for FREE on Gumroad: sagado.gumroad.com/l/lbyfu Added mesh growth, better rendering utils, performance optimization, cleaner node-groups and more! Drop your feedback or comments here! #b3d #differentialgrowth

With this setup I can distribute a curve on a grid and use geometry-nodes fields to run parameters grid test. Here I'm testing repulsion and attraction factors on X and Y axes #b3d #differentialgrowth

Testing on multiple curves, with obstacles and higher level of details. Running also the mesh variant, which hasn't pretty topology, but kinda works. #b3d #differentialgrowth

Updating my Differential-Growth Blender setup with the new Geometry-Nodes utils, like new "Merge Points", "Volume Grids", "Curve to Tube" and more... Also improving the algo overall for attraction and avoidance #b3d

Added stochastic functionality to the L-system setup, and tested distribution for "forest-like" gen. Can be improved my randomizing more parameters like system type and materials, or even controlled via other attributes. #b3d

Cleaned wind-setup, fixed UVMap issue, better materials, more randomness in leaves... #b3d #lsystems

More wind experiments on some L-system results, cleaning up the dedicated modifier to use with the final setup. Wind is a combination of a position 4D noise and a direction scaled by 1D noise. #b3d #lsystem

A powerful aspect of L-system is branching. I handle it in Blender by simulating a LIFO stack as the "turtle extruded" for each symbol. Push and pop vertices based on the "[" and "]" symbols. Could be implemented in a more performant way via Lists maybe. #b3d #lsystem
