@vrc_s4kuma Well, I made about 45. Check out my YT channel.

[Blender Bob 🔶 @robertrioux]

Yeah, I used that tool before when 2.8 came out but it was giving me conflicts with other addons. Mine can pretty much do all the same functions but it’s actually more powerful and easier to use. You have just one item in the toolbar. Well, two since I support polygons too. And I have the guide function too. But thanks.

Crazy update on my polydraw tool! Live demo at the end. Please share if you think this could be useful to the community! #b3d (I'm posting this again but this time the clip is directly in X instead of a YT link just to see if X will promote it more)

[Blender Bob 🔶 @robertrioux]

@MrAdamEarle Because there are many other steps that I do after creating the lines that are automated with another addon for my game.

@SirBedson Thank you. Just did.

Developping addons with Claude Opus and MCP server in Blender is amazing! Also connected to Github at the same time. Claude can test the addons itself. It can read the error messages, it can do screengrabs and analyse them. I've been able to fix all the issues I had with one of my addons so easily. And once I approve it it will do the commit and release on Github. I don't need to manage anything anymore. I don't even see a single line of code, which in my case is OK since I'm not a developer. #b3d

[Blender Bob 🔶 @robertrioux]

@bafsoncg That’s exactly why I did it.

[Blender Bob 🔶 @robertrioux]

Hey Blender community! Did you know you can export selection in Blender format? #b3d https://t.co/iawAJwvjlR

[Blender Bob 🔶 @robertrioux]

@romboutv Blender 5 can export in webp. Can read them too, obvioulsy

[Blender Bob 🔶 @robertrioux]

I'm now a big fan of the webp file format. It's way smaller than jpg and png, supports tansparency and has a non-desctructive compression option. It can even support color spaces. So awesome for the web and great for textures in non-desctructive mode. I just converted all my images for the game project I'm working on and I went from 235MB to 71MB. Almost a 70% reduction

If you draw curves, do you use b splines or nurbs. #b3d

[Blender Bob 🔶 @robertrioux]

@WVChimamise Not in Nuke unfortunately

[Blender Bob 🔶 @robertrioux]

@Matavatar Oh! VIdeo with transparency without Prores. Cool! Thanks

[Blender Bob 🔶 @robertrioux]

@Matavatar Gee, another format? No, what is it?

[Blender Bob 🔶 @robertrioux]

@OddityOfficialT Very few software supports it though. I even did a file converter to change them into anything else as it was driving me nuts.

[Blender Bob 🔶 @robertrioux]

@tinkerboi2024 Godot supports it no problem. UNreal doesn’t but it doesn’t matter as Unreal will transcode any images in its own format for compression and mipmapping. I don’t know about Unity. Didn’t check

[Blender Bob 🔶 @robertrioux]

@PabloZuman It’s a satire of American politics. I like Godot. More than unity. It’s obviously not unreal but since I’m going a 2D game it’s perfect for what I do. First time I’m using it.

[Blender Bob 🔶 @robertrioux]

Here's another one!

[Blender Bob 🔶 @robertrioux]

@PabloZuman Thank you! It’s a hell if a job. Some images need more love like the house interior. I’ll revisit it later

[Blender Bob 🔶 @robertrioux]

My game is developping slowly but I'm getting there. I needed to develop 4 addons for this. 2 in Blender and 2 in Godot. I will do a making-of eventually. #b3d #godot #videogame
