The Set Mesh Normal node has just been added to #GeometryNodes. It allows adding and modifying custom normals, opening up many new possibilities. #b3d #devfund

In Blender 4.5 one can import some file formats directly into #GeometryNodes: obj, stl, ply and csv (numeric data only). This can simplify some workflows quite significantly. #b3d #devfund

🌀New cover alert! The amazing work of
@FlorentWaltz and colleagues made it on the cover of
@ScienceMagazine and I had the honor to create the visuals!

In mitochondria, respiratory supercomplexes (blue) pump protons across crista membranes to create an electrochemical gradient, fueling adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase (pink) to regenerate ATP—the energy currency of life.
Now, cryo–electron tomography captures these supercomplexes in their native organization, illuminating how the coordinated action of these molecular machines drives life’s fundamental energy conversion.

It's been a while, but I'm back on YouTube! 👋
Restarting things with a tutorial on 3D visualisations of atomic force microscopy data in Blender.

Let's interact with the light waves! Here, I created a real-time simulation that can run in your browser: chiuhans111.github.io/intera…
You can change the beam width and the focusing power of the input light rays. Please give it a try and let me know your thoughts!

Hello again! Here is my new YouTube tutorial for making a 3D bacteriophage in Blender. It looks like an alien!

A lens can perform the Fourier transform! 🔍
This is the 4F system: the first lens converts an image into its frequency components, and the second lens reconstructs it. By adding an aperture at the Fourier plane, we can filter out high frequencies.

Had an awesome time guest lecturing at the @PittEngineering last week on using Blender for scientific illustrations!
Super exciting to see 3D being used more widely in the academic space👏
Huge thanks to @DrChrisWilmer for inviting me over!

This is the last day of the challenge. Thank you so much for joining me! Enjoy the last entry: a cute and fluffy mini protein 😊
I hope you had as much fun as I did. See you in October 💛

No, this is not an eye 👁️, this is a part of the mud crab reovirus. It is fascinating to see how the proteins assemble to form the capsid.

Blender soft body simulations are great for animating squishy things like cells, but they break if you make cells divide. So I'm building my own cell growth soft body simulator from the ground up in blender geometry nodes. Hope to release this tool soon. #b3d
