News : ... the fast version 5.0 of Blender 3D.

I have already seen that version 5.0 Alpha of the Blender 3D software is on YouTube channels. I assume the community is eager to test it. I have followed it and they have stagnated in development. You can see the way the development team works with a repository tool. It is not the only software that has fluctuations in development - Godot had the same progression.

I saw this video today named "Why Blender 5.0 is already getting crazy" from the 3Dan - the official youtube channel.

... and is not only one, most users not use the apha version of software :

The alpha phase of the release life cycle is the first phase of software testing (alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, used as the number 1). In this phase, developers generally test the software using white-box techniques. Additional validation is then performed using black-box or gray-box techniques, by another testing team. Moving to black-box testing inside the organization is known as alpha release.[1][2]

Blender 3D : create winter sprites with RealSnow addon.

A simple method to create snow sprites. I imported an image with a fence, created a roof for each slat using a subdivided and bent plane to be able to put snow with the RealSnow addon. I used an array to create a matrix and used the RealSnow addon to add the snow. I just need to hide the fence, and as it looks from the render, I will have various sprites for the fence.

Blender 3D : my custom addon for 2D game development.

Why do I like working with the Python programming language? Because it is very versatile and allows me to process data from the Blender 3D software.

Here is an addon that I created this week to create 2D sprites from 3D animations from Mixamo. It took almost a week because the artificial intelligence from Copilot is flawed in the field of programming, and I don't have hardware resources that allow me to run AI with specialized IDEs along with Blender 3D... I need to find software management solutions on this hardware.

The idea is simple: a 3D animation is chosen, a rendering camera is set up, the animation parameters and the number of sprites are established, along with the involved rendering cameras, and it is rendered with resolutions and transparency. The reason for multiple cameras is that 3D effects can be created in 2D games. A simple example: the game Syberia is a 2D game with combined 2D sprites. The addon can be improved based on the developer's requirements.

NOTE: If I had better hardware and a good network without ... it would have taken from the first step in 3D modeling, animation, creating addons, and making sprites almost a day.

News : Testing GeometryCrafter: Consistent Geometry Estimation for Open-world Videos with Diffusion Priors

The paper arXiv:2504.01016 introduces GeometryCrafter, a framework designed to estimate temporally consistent, high-quality point maps from open-world videos. These point maps are crucial for applications like 3D/4D reconstruction, depth-based video editing, and camera parameter estimation.

I tested this week on the huggingface.co GeometryCrafter project and works with a short video because I don't have a Pro account ...

The GeometryCrafter can generates .npz files. These are NumPy compressed archive files that store the predicted point maps corresponding to each frame of the input video. Each .npz file encapsulates the 3D spatial information derived from the video frames, facilitating further processing or visualization.

I tested a python script for .npz with Blender 3D software and works , not finished yet!

Blender 3D : fix deformation Array of Curve modifier.

Possible bug ...

I noticed after creating an Array with an object and a NurbsPath object in Blender 3D version 4.3.2 and after the classic basic operations aligned, scaled and applied all transformations of these two objects, distortions appear when applying the Curve modifier to the Array object. I do not know the cause; it is possible a bug. It can be solved if you convert the NurbsPath to a new type of Curve object from the main menu Object - Convert - Curve, then applying the Deform Curve modifier will not deform the Array object.

News : glTF-Validator for GIFT format type.
