trying to approximate the original look of the renderings in the classic mnt reform manual (done by @powl in maxon cinema 4d back then) in blender with workbench renderer + freestyle + some compositor tweaks. it is different in some details (there's no ambient occlusion and some lines are interpreted differently, for example), but good enough to update some graphics and to have a workflow for later manuals. will also have to hand erase a few glitches (check the usb-c connector feet)

Massive props to @bobbe for https://github.com/30350n/inventree_part_import

@antoinevg Thanks! 😊

I fucking love open source!

@kicad + @bobbe's pcb2blender, @FreeCAD, Prusa Slicer export toolpath and @Blender to render everything

Even the characteristic sheen of the filament I use was recreated by Blender

The secret's out! My new job is to plot and scheme with Stephen and Lucian at opulo.io! 🎉🎉

That new Lumen Mobo looks so sick!

Moin EE Skeptiker,
die von euch ständig dramatisch ins Feld geführte „Dunkelflaute“ ist bald History. 😎

Looking for a chaos.social invite for InvenTree, the open source inventory management and PLM solution; https://InvenTree.org
We are currently posting about (security) releases to Twitter and Reddit and I would like to expand to the fediverse. Chaos.social seems to be one of the instances that is trusted by most so I am trying to maybe find an invite.
Would be used strictly for project comms. Boost appreciated.

@gsuberland @arturo182 @kicad @blender FYI if you want to do this: The custom shader nodes are just shader node groups in disguise which makes them somewhat awkward to work with (you can't easily inspect their contents for example). For each custom node, there'll be a matching node group (which you can find in the Add Shader Node -> Groups) menu) which you can actually inspect.

@gsuberland @arturo182 @kicad @blender It's actually a bug somewhere in the mesh cleanup code. What you see looks like a Voronoi texture, but is actually just the faces/edges of the mesh.

This @kicad -> @blender plugin by @bobbe is absolutely amazing!

It allows you to import your KiCad design into Blender with textures, shaders, and even solder blobs in like 5 clicks!

Now if only I had the slightest idea how to use Blender 😭

From KiCad to Blender for a Stunning Render

We love Blender. It brings you 3D modeling, but not in a CAD way — instead, people commonly use it to create animations, movies, games, and even things like VR …read more
