Are you in France with a cat that used to live in Aotearoa NZ and the cat is missing?

A cat found in Antony France with a NZ chip. Someone posted in reddit hoping to reunite the cat with the cat''s owners/slaves.

Frog bot is all wound up ready for action in a new (and free) Blender course over on cgboost.com/frogbot #b3d

Calling this done.
#animation and #rigging test done with #b3d

The head is driven by the joystick controls.
Translation is on one control and the rotation is on another.
The eyes also have joystick controls either side up the top. (mirror poses easier)

The actual rotation left/right is actually the model turning, but the up/down is the parts translating and texture being animated.

The mouth is grease pencil with a time offset modifier.

I've started the next phase of BlenderNation - do you want to be involved?

I see lots of new #FreeCAD users expressing frustration about the process of importing and converting mesh files (like STLs) to be inconvenient and/or unintuitive. While I have my own opinions about whether you should be trying to modify STL files in the first place, I have found myself doing it from time to time because of the nature of the #3dprinting file-sharing ecosystem.

That said, even though I don’t particularly find the process of conversion to be particularly difficult, I decided to try and help FreeCAD users perform all of the operations with one click.

You can download my macro here: https://codeberg.org/chrishuck/Mesh_to_Solid

Import a mesh, select it, and run the macro. There are some options you can choose from, mostly for clean-up. I turned them on by default because I figured most people would just want to see the final object at the end.

Let me know if there are any issues or if you find it useful.

Mesh_to_Solid

This is a macro to automate conversion of imported mesh objects into solid shapes for further modification

Nimbus the studio cat performs a quick anatomy check of our anatomical model ;)
so with adobe animate being killed, does anyone have a .fla file from cs5 or later lying around? Apparently those are just zip files. I would like to see if it's reasonably possible to write a straight .fla importer for Blender
It’s seriously cool to have #NURBS working this well in #Blender. #SurfacePsycho is still alpha, fingers crossed the Blender team steps in to help out. #b3d #CAD
It has been an extremely cold winter here in Minnesota with too much #snow and way too much #ICE with -30 celsius and even colder temperatures up north in Bemidji, where our Ojibwe word of the day is presented…
