A #sketch using #pencilcrayon I did whilst on holiday of a #colibri #hummingbird Been about 20 years since I did any serious sketching, and woah, that is a long time! #art #noaiart #ArtistOnTwitter #art

Great news for #b3d users on #linux, looks like #blender will now support headless rendering on linux.

#bloodmooneclipse or #LunarEclipse as seen from #Sydney last night. Quite spectacular!

With many thanks to github.com/zocker-160, our #Docker images for #blender3d have been updated to support #rendering with CPU in #blender 3.2 and also 2.93 LTS. #GPU support is on its way, its actually there, but we need to test it :) check em out at github.com/crowdrender/cr-do…

#blender 3.2 #caustics clearly showing lensing effects now possible. caustic shadows must be enabled for; 1. the surface catching the result (plane in this case) 2. the object refracting the light (green squished cylinder) 3. the light illuminating the scene! (this one got me)

#serious #design #flaws here with @instagram's latest maneuver to force users to add a birthday. If an org or company has an account, who's birthday to use? NOT that of an individual, individuals leave company's making this data stale and account recovery more painful.

Test for if someone is a programmer. 1. send them this text; "hello" 2. they are a programmer if they reply with; "world" #Python #programming #SoftwareDeveloper #codinglife

More benchmarks today, here's a scene I created in #blender3d to test #blendercycles k-cycles - 13 s @crowdrender with k-cycles (single machine only) - 13 s So far, overhead from running CR seems minimal. So adding more machines with k-cycles + crowdrender looks viable 🎉🎉🎉
Following up on previous tweets about #b3d and k-cycles, here's a close up of Victor showing the noise Left #blender 3.1.2 Right k-cycles 3.1.1 Looks the same to me, how 'bout you? #b3d #3drendering #3drender #blendercycles #3dart

More K-cycles testing against #blender3d 3.1.1 Left - #blender 3.1.2 Right - k-cycles 3.1.1 Seems cycles official wins in this scene albeit by a tiny margin. Maybe cycles x is slightly better at hair? #blendercycles #b3d #rendering #raytracing #3drender #3drendering
Taking a look at k-cycles and whether you can use @crowd_render with it. So far looking good, I mean #rendering works with the k-cycles engine just fine! Left Cycles-x bl 3.1.2 - 38 seconds Right K-cycles b3.1.1 - 28 seconds

Thanks @rileybrown3d :) What would be amazing would also be a comparison of the render times for these two shots. Be great to know if there's a performance penalty and if so, how large is that penalty. Gosh it looks nice though! #b3d #bender3D #3drendering #3dart #3dmodelling
Testing out the new(ish) shadow caustics feature in #b3d
