If you hadn't heard already, Blender 2.90 is out!

https://www.blender.org/download/releases/2-90/

Had to say goodbye to a friend today. This photo really captures the essence of who he was. The perfect combination of sweetness and assholery. We're gonna miss you, George. I'm glad to have known you for 14 years. Travel well, space cat.

So many habaneros on a single plant! I think I counted over 20. I guess chilli is gonna be on the menu soon.

Episode 49 is here and it's a good one! Listen to @patdavid and I talk about PIXLS.US, his work with GNU Image Manipulation Program, and a whole host of other topics around creative work and Free Software.

Little update: If you want to have one of these for yourself, I've put the files up on Thingiverse:

Got a bit of audio gear and needed a place to hang it. Sure, I could've just made a shelf or hook or something, but this was may more fun. Old 3D sculpt, some 3D printing, a little primer, some texture paint, and a dowel rod. Pretty happy the way it all came together.

A few of the folks (including me!) who've written for @osdc spoke a bit about the tools we use for writing. Everyone's workflow is different and it's fun to learn from how other folks work.

This is probably the tallest thing I've printed to date. Pretty pleased that it worked without a bunch of additional supports.

Starting a new print. This one is decorative and semi-functional... if it works.

The second half of the mintCast show that I got to be a guest on. This one is a lot more Blendery (and animation in general). Thanks again to mintCast for letting me ramble on and on. :)

Broke out ye olde childhood woodburner and played around a bit. Missed this thing.

If you want to listen to a fun Linux-related podcast, mintCast is a good one. (Also, I got the privilege of being a guest on this episode)

For the episode that I shared yesterday, I also linked to where I shared the ring mount on Thingiverse. Unfortunately, I didn't know it takes 24 hours for designs to show up there.

Well, it's there now! Have at it:

Episode 47 is a solo show and heavy on the visuals. I respond to some listener feedback and talk about the rotating mount I designed to help me carve my bent wood rings.

What have you made to help you make?

I've gotta say, this is probably my favorite fill pattern to look at while printing.

Maybe it doesn't look so that different from the previous photo, but an lot of material got taken off this. It's starting to feel like it's taking shape.

Episode 46 is out! This one is a follow-up to the previous show about #BlenderNPR. In this episode, we go deep on the BEER renderer with guests Light Bwk and Miguel Pozo.
