@Blender Hey guys, your website, she is down 👇☹️

@NBN_Australia ok, when will it resolve? For the past month we've been having these consistent dropouts, they are now happening daily.

[James Crowther @JamesHCrowther]

@NBN_Australia Similar to others, have been experiencing daily dropouts of our HFC service. ISP says this is NBN's issue not theirs, where do we get help?

@NBN_Australia What does "Network Degradation" Mean?

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!

@aditia_ap Great question, and honestly not sure, need to check the release notes for the next 3.3 LTS release on https://t.co/h2sKWTLLbu :)

[James Crowther @JamesHCrowther]

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

[Crowdrender @crowd_render]

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

[Crowdrender @crowd_render]

With many thanks to https://t.co/3J0A4qEZmq, 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 :)

#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)

Why should always carefully follow the cooking instructions on pasta

#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"

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 🎉🎉🎉

[James Crowther @JamesHCrowther]

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?
