Hi Pablo! Hope you're doing well

When will we have "Blender Today LIVE" themed merch (shirt or mug) that says things like "Hola community!", "Nnnnext...", "Pretty pretty neat", "Yay for consistency!", "Let's talk about U and I", "See you Nesquik", with some green pipes or some buff fighter dude drinking mate (without infringing on any copyright of course)?

If you say "people won't buy Blender Today themed merch", then I challenge YOU 🫵 to ask chat right now!

I'm late watching the replay of the livestream, but saw your comment and had to say another one to add is "Quality of liiife!"😄

Hola Pablo!

I'm aware there are plans for improving usability of library overrides. I wanted to ask, if you know, if it's on the roadmap to be able to override linked materials. Until now this is not possible, and you have to make a full local copy of it.

Thanks!

Do we know what the big feature of 5.0 is planned to be yet?

Hi Pablo, love the weekly videos!

You mentioned the number keys for changing collections from inside the viewport will be removed. I use that quite a lot. Is there a chance that it will be added as an option, instead of disabled completely?

Thanks for everything and keep up the great work!

Hi Pablo, is there any way possible to add lip-sync like property in GP? like other software has it would be very helpful for 2d animator

As far as I remember, back in the day Blender used to be updated like 2.82, 2.83....2.93 like that and after 3.0, the update numbers changed to 3.1, 3.2....4.3, 4.4 etc. like that. Which kind of made sense because the frequency of Blender updates got reduced significantly every year. And that's not what I'm trying to say, but the fact is people often associate big round release numbers like 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 etc. with big major overhauls or major feature integrations and currently there are a lot of major stuff that people have been asking in blender for a while like a proper complete node based FX-physics system, node based procedural texture painting, high poly sculpt, new rigging-animation system (which has been under development) etc. So would they be already by 5.0? Since 5.0 sounds so huge and supposed to come out in 11th Nov of this year? If not, then IMHO why not push the 5.0 release later and release 4.6,7,8 etc. until all if not some of those big features gets implemented in blender, at least to a preliminary level without being featured complete initially. That's just my opinion.

Hi Pablo, nice work with 4.5 LTS launch, except for a minor but important detail. The new set mesh normal node in geometry nodes doesnt work well with Cycles. Any chance we will see that bug fixed soon? projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/141040

Hello Pablo! Hope you had a nice day!

To the question: Can animation actions have different lengths? I am trying to export animations to Godot and I am currently forced to have same length for all Actions because the frame span seems to be unified in the whole editor.

Can u ask Julien to do an updated version of the Character workflow with the new sculpting tools?
