The #LinkView #addon for #Blender is now ready to support Action Slots, new in Blender 4.4. #3d #b3d #rigtip #nodes #rigging #animation

What a fucking edge case...

If the UVs on the driver mesh of a uvPin node change such that the coordinates are now off mesh, it won't break...

...until the next time you open the file.

The #LinkView #addon for #Blender will have the ability to find and display invalid drivers. Very helpful to reveal deleted data blocks and renamed properties. #3d #b3d #rigtip #nodes #rigging #animation

The #LinkView #addon for #Blender will have the ability to find and display object and collection pointers inside #GeometryNodes. Here's a short preview of how it might be helpful.

The good thing about writing add-ons is that you'll learn the software even better and explore new territory. Yesterday it was the Bone Armature constraint in #Blender, which I didn't know before. Now it works nicely in #LinkView.

Here's a collection of link types which are currently supported. Not sure if something important is missing. Take a look.

Making some good progress with #LinkView for #Blender. It's finally coming together. 🙌
Here's a sample of testing with a random rig in full (even though a complete graph is not really useful 👀)

Here's a quick preview of a very useful #addon for #Blender we're currently working on. It let's you easily find driver links and target objects between the related data blocks and displays them in a node tree.

Ten minutes of tweaking the eyelid setup last night and I was able to get the beginnings of a pretty decent mouth rig.

Geo Nodes is so well designed. One thing leads to another and ideas seem to just fall out of it!

Here's a guide to the Symmetry Map feature included in the #blender3d #smoothWeights #addon.

It's extremely helpful and time saving when working with any symmetrical mesh because it also respects topological mirroring.

Raise your hand if you've ever been personally victimized by #maya node types.

cmds.objectType(node) == 'transform' returns False if node is a joint...

Fuck me that was a subtle bug...

Oh, one more #RigTip

Did you know you can increase the scale factor beyond 1?

Super useful to tweak skin weights without losing the overall posed shape, as would happen with the "Add" brush.
