Hi Pablo! Does Blender have any plans to improve the native image-sequence workflow for Images as Planes, especially timing, looping, frame offsets and multilayer animation?

I’ve been developing Frame By Plane , a free Blender extension focused on image sequences, 2D animation and multiplane workflows. It might be useful for anyone interested:

Oi, Pablo!

I haven't gotte around to making a bug report yet, but the video clip editor might need a facelift. the side panels aren't even transparent. I don't think... they have ever been. a lot of it is nonstandard UI.

What's the suggested way to propose a facelift or wider set of adjustments, such as for a module that needs some general TLC? a list of issues? a bunch of separate posts on projects?

Hi Pablo. Hope all is well.

I'm feeling a bit down after trying so hard to try and make a useful line tool by myself for such a long time.

If it is okay, can you please tell me where to find useful info on creating new modes for addons. Not just Object mode or Edit mode. I had to add an icon to both Object mode and Edit mode to get my line tool working.

I'd love to get some positive feedback on this new basic line tool. Hope you can see the video here in Right Click Select. blender.community/c/rightclickselect/RkDE/

Hello pablo. I have one question: Will spatial hashing ever be possible in Geometry Nodes? It could significantly improve simulation performance by making self-collisions much faster and also accelerate operations like smoothing point positions by efficiently finding nearby points.

Hello pablo hope you're doing good, I have 3 questions

  1. right now we have key-frame for general thing that have yellow color, what if we have different types of key-frame for different mode eg. For object mode yellow and edit mode red and blue for pose mode? Or purple for sculpt mode and orange for GP draw mode etc. (and yes edit and sculpt mode should have key-frame for shape key)
  2. and in GP default object we have 2 layers one for line and one for color if it's possible can we have a button that can add this kind of layer in other GP object that we add later?
  3. can we have button for onion skin for normal object if possible?

!Hola, Pablo!

Great news with the new feature film! Any chance we can also get more episodes of Caminandes? The whole family is eagerly awaiting for Caminandes 4!

Thanks and best regards!

they're releasing the project files on blender studio! you can pick it up and learn to do it yourself!

If I did it myself, then it wouldn't be from the original creator, which is Pablo. It would be a "cheap, worthless knock-off" that doesn't respect the original creator's wishes. Also seems a bit unethical to do so, even if it is an "open movie/series".

W Stream Pablo, My question for you is: When will texture streaming/mip mapping be added in eevee! 5.3 5.4? my .blend's are freezing my pc 😭
