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

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.

Working on the final touches for #LinkView for #Blender.

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.

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.

I just discovered that you can parent a mesh with an armature object with type "Armature".

The skinned mesh will work as if there is an Armature modifiers ... even if there is no modifier.

Is that something commonly used?

Fantastic 2-part tutorial about the #RBFNodes add-on for #blender from @ToshiCG . The series covers all the important basics along with a practical need-to-know example of a shoulder setup. Great coverage! 🔥 #rigtip #b3d #blender3d

Here are fondation of the future of animation in Blender.
I will read it carefully, and come back to devs (in August?) with feedback.
My long journey as rigger and as glTF I/O can help

I also want to be sure that glTF animation features still can have Blender corresponding feature (or almost), and that some tricks can be avoided during I/O (for example multi object animation using track names...).
