I’ve released a new Blender tutorial on YouTube. In this tutorial we will talk about the work with instanced collections in production, why they are so important but also which problems will come up if you don’t organize them correctly. We talk about some strategies to find the source collection of the instances in one scene, but also when they are linked from the outside. Then we look into a great free add-on / extension with the name „Edit Instanced Collection“, which helps you to modify the content of a collection easily. 👉 https://lnkd.in/e-chD6nK Have fun!

And, unlike on YouTube, you can enjoy my videos there without any advertising noise and distractions ;-) 👉 https://lnkd.in/duEG5Tz2 Today I've created “Collections” for a better overview. I hope this will bring even more order to the many past posts. There is still a lot to do... 😓 P.S. You can also follow my account on Patreon without a paid membership.

Today, the new Godot Game Engine showreel 2023 for Games on desktop, mobile and console was released. It shows that this open-source game engine gets more and more traction and gives indie developers the opportunity to develop great games without being tied to commercial providers and their business models. https://lnkd.in/dSibuTkm As stated before, at the moment I'm working in Unity and Godot at the same time, depending on my vision and project. They are both a great fit for me. But for the future I’m eager to see Godot getting even more features to make the shift for me even easier. 🔥 Amazing reel :-) #Godot #GodotGameEngine #Indies #Reatime #GameDevelopment#opensource #pixeltrain #HelgeMaus

The first maintenance update to the 4.2 feature branch Godot 4.2.1 is just released, as the first maintenance update to the 4.2 feature branch. It fixes a number of platform-specific issues, which should make it easier for everyone to upgrade their Godot 4.1 projects, or start new ones in 4.2. https://lnkd.in/d8qXzqmE
