Thisoption creates a new scene with the same settings and contents as the active scene.However, instead of copying the objects,the new scene contains links to the collections in the old scene.Therefore, changes to objects in the new scene will result in the samechanges to the original scene, because the objects used are literally the same.The reverse is also true.

To choose between these options,it is useful to understand the difference between Object and Object Data.The choices for adding a scene, therefore, determine just how much of this information will becopied from the active scene to the new one, and how much will be shared (linked).

The instant visual feedback of a real-time renderer is just so valuable when it comes to crafting a shot and scene. As a cinematographer myself, it drives me crazy trying to compose a shot with all of the render intensive elements turned off.

When it comes to scene layout, like the overall blocking and placement of objects in the scene (even including lighting and camera placement), I definitely prefer to do all of this in Unreal as opposed to Blender. This is as a result of one major limitation.

When you import your geometry via .fbx (or any other file type for that matter), your object will come in with an origin point set at the world origin point from Blender. Not from Unreal. This means that you theoretically could set up your whole scene in Blender, and import one giant .fbx file.

However, this would mean that every single object no matter the placement would share the same origin point. So moving any one specific object could be a giant headache, as it might be a large distance away from the world origin point.

I think it makes way more sense to make one object at a time in Blender, and just sent it over to Unreal when the time is right. This way you can set each object up in Blender with an appropriate origin point.

There are few things as creatively invigorating as just simply painting plants onto geometry as though you were using a paintbrush, covering hills and plains with pure wavy photoreal grass, and then to still see 60fps up in the corner for the render speed. Magic.

I am working in Blender and trying to follow some You Tube video tutorials. My following certain videos comes to a halt when I am unable to find one particular node that is supposed to be in Geometry Nodes, "Scene Time". I have gotten pretty good at slowing down and pausing the tutorial so I can see what is being clicked and typed, but I am unsuccessful when attempting to locate the elusive "Scene Time" node that is suppose to be in Geometry nodes. If anyone can give me fix as to why I am unable to locate this node and/or guide me towards finding this node, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

It's under Input -> Scene Time. It was changed in Blender 3.1: _Notes/3.1/Nodes_Physics "It's no longer necessary to add a #frame driver to get the scene's current animation time, the Scene Time node does that instead". You have probably old version of Blender.

Thanks for checking for me. I am not really doing much today. I saw this post sitting on the couch this morning. As soon as I saw the op did not make the .blend & it looks like crap in both formats, I knew it was material settings which have no equivalent. Answering from the couch has been blowing up in my face lately, so did not reply.

The non-optimized issues are concept like multi-materials. You can certainly use multi-materials in Babylon, but it is a heavier process at runtime because you need to assign materials per vertex rather than per mesh. You can see in this light fixture that you have three materials assigned to the mesh:

Ideally, if you were to optimize the scene, you would UV the light to be able to use one material with UV islands controlling your color breaks. In the case of materials where you simply want to use a different set of material factors rather than textures, then combine all meshes that use each material. So, for example, if all of the diffusers on the can lights use the same material, rather than combining the diffuser into each individual light, combine all diffusers into one mesh with one material assigned. Do this for each material needed in the scene to prevent some of the overhead and exporting issues of multi-materials.

In this example, it is using the same texture for base color and roughness, while adding a curve operation to the roughness texture before using it as base color. It is also manipulating the Y axis of the normal texture as well as scaling all of the texture tiling. The texture tiling can be handled with KHR_texture_transform which will export correctly with this setup. However, if you look at the Blender manual about how to set up your materials for glTF export you will see that the exporter is looking for png and jpg textures assigned to the shader for export. Any operation done in the shader between the texture and the input will likely be ignored outside texture transform which would come before the texture.

I think the best approach would be to read through the glTF docs on the blender site and make sure the materials in your file support what the glTF exporter is looking for. At that point you may want to look at how to optimize this for real time rendering. Hope this helps, but feel free to ping with questions.

I understand that I can delete scene objects by right clicking them and pressing delete. I also understand the concept of don't fix what ain't broke but it sounds to me like a lot of extra meaningless steps.

Just have a look for the Delete key bindings in the preferences and turn off what you don't need. 'object.delete' and 'outliner.delete' are what you'll want to map and activate (checkmark). Turn off the optional delete confirmation for the former and activate hierarchy delete for the latter and it will all behave in a sensible way.

That's what I thought to and that's normally the case. But Blender 2.8 re-did everything. All the menus, HUDs, all the API's, all of it new. This tells me that they have no problem changing things and getting people to relearn the tools as long as the change makes sense. That is a mindset I deeply respect. But the point is, we should be able to use that to conclude that everything that is there must be there for a reason. Right?

Nothing wrong with using an older version if that does what you need it to. I use 2.93 as my main, currently moving to 3.3 but I also use 2.83 for a specific purpose because some behavior changed in newer versions, ruining some aspects of existing scenes I have to access regularly.

Because you can definitely change that in 2.83. At any rate - whatever version you decide to update to it wouldn't hurt to go into Preferences - Keymap and look for outliner.delete as 'Name' and activate the hierarchy option. That deletes entire hierarchies if you select the parent.

That's because just delete deletes the collection and not the content of the collection.. objects can be in multiple collections.. therefor there is the delete hierarchy.. (some times other vocabulary really means something different.. and sometime not ?)

And yes: the good thing in blender is: you can change it very much.. and also you can have mutliple versions installed because they work directly after unzipping (even only shareing the same config in major numbers but you can even start it with individual configs).

Now I'd like to take it further and build a dictionary of metadata, mapping the actual blender 3D objects to their IFC data (any metadata that is available) and export that as a json along with the glTF file. In particular, in the Object Metadata panel > Attributes there is a Tag attribute that I'd like to associate with the actual 3D object.

I spent some time noodling around in the Python console, using the selected blender scene object as my starting point, digging around attributes to no avail. It seemed like I was only able to access general Blender data.

If you want to learn from codebase, make sure to enable Python tooltips in Blender preferences

This will allow you to see the internal name of the operator for each button, so you can look it up in codebase and learn new things about blender-ifc interactions.

Rayan Zomorodi showed us the workflow behind the Windowsill project, explaining how he made the surface imperfections and tweaked rendering settings to make it so photorealistic that it was removed from the Blender subreddit.

I'm a Norwegian cinematographer who's been interested in 3D for quite some time, I've especially been curious about experimenting with lower-budget VFX in fashion projects and music videos. But I've kind of struggled to find like-minded 3D artists who are skilled enough to make impressive works but who are also not financially unattainable (I may not have been searching well enough. though.)

So about 6-7 months ago I decided to pick up Blender and give it a try for fun. I'm fond of learning new things in general and I do enjoy the process. But 3D work has always seemed intimidating to me.

Anyway, I started with the donut and then a few other beginner tutorials before I ended up getting hooked. I've had lots of film/photography aspirations and ideas throughout my career, but they've mostly been difficult to do because of financial restrictions, gathering the right group of people, etc. So the feeling of just being able to sit by myself and create whatever I can think of has truly been amazing and enchanting.

I've only really worked on one other public project in addition to the Windowsill project, which was a low poly PS1-inspired video for a good friend of mine who is an artist by the name of Darkowa. In addition to those two projects, I've probably done about 15-20 smaller personal projects that I haven't shared.

I truly don't feel like I'm even close to mastering Blender at all, as I mentioned earlier I truly do enjoy the process of learning and I'm honestly learning something new super basic thing I didn't know about every day I work with Blender. The beginner tutorials I followed when I started out were Blender Guru's "Donut" and "Chair" tutorials in addition to Grant Abbit's "The Old Man" beginner tutorial.
