00:00all right blender fans today's update is straight uploaded we've got new add-ons dropping like bombs
00:14modeling tools environment beasts crazy simulations and time-saving magic whether
00:21you build sci-fi spaceships or cute cottages there's something in here that'll blow your
00:26mind let's dive into this blender buffet it's about to get spicy geo cables all right let's kick things
00:33off with geo cables a geometry nodes based add-on that lets you drop hanging cables in your scene
00:40crazy fast just click where you want and bam cable drops like gravity's working overtime you get five
00:48built-in cable connectors and if you're feeling spicy load up your own custom one too full control
00:55via modifier length thickness direction number of cables materials all of it and the best part
01:02it's 100 free that's right zero cost go grab it next the creator of fluent one of the top hard
01:12surface modeling tools just announced version 2.0 he rebuilt the whole thing from scratch gave it a
01:19total ui glow up and made it smoother than ever if you're into hard surface modeling fluent is like
01:26your all-in-one weapon plates pipes wires whatever you can turn a face into cloth convert cuts into grids
01:35it's like modeling superpowers and now he's dropping teasers on twitter with even more new features big
01:43upgrade incoming remember when blender introduced manifold extrusion back in 2.9 super helpful but
01:53also kind of limited you couldn't push past edges and it left weird geometry inside punch it says let me
02:01fix that it lets you punch holes and do subtractive extrusion through geometry using face normals vertex
02:08normals or even knife edges it's basically blender's extrusion tool on steroids and it works way better for complex models
02:17rozzy clutch the guy is on fire lately dropped a huge material library over 70 drag and drop assets
02:44floors floors walls wood paint rocks name it it's in there and it works directly with blender's asset browser
02:52just drag it onto any object and boom it's textured easy to install even easier to use
03:00need to add some bumpy realism with displacement maps easy displacers your guy
03:13the interface is clean intuitive you control scale depth distortion all the usual suspects got your own
03:22texture map load it straight in just remember the more geometry the better the detail so don't go too
03:28crazy if your pc is from 2015
03:43foliage paint it's like unreal engines foliage painting but inside blender pick a model or collection click paint and you're in paint mode
03:53start brushing an object scatter in real time super handy if you want to set up trees grass or clutter fast
04:01yeah blender can do this natively but this makes it 100 times easier
04:06same dev new tool rock scatter this lets you paint rocks and stones all over your scene manually or randomly comes with 12 textured rocks and seven rock stones combos
04:28choose what you want click add rocks and it's done you can tweak things like count size and randomness from the scatter settings
04:36model lattice resolution this one makes controlling your lattice resolution way less painful hold alt l to add a lattice instantly
04:55scroll with control to adjust the resolution on the fly x y z subdivisions all covered tons of shortcuts built in to make this feel like a
05:06second nature
05:07quick uv pro tired of jumping into the uv editor every five seconds quick uv pro lets you control your uvs directly from the 3d viewport
05:30scale rotate move right there right then you can even copy materials from one face to another in a click the pie menu gives you fast access to everything and the gizmos make it fun
05:43cavity pass this is a tiny add-on that adds huge visual punch it renders cavity maps like ambient occlusion but sharper and more detailed
05:53think crevices tiny edges and bevel fakes it adds depth and grit to your models
06:00blenders viewport shows cavity overlays but doesn't let you render them this add-on fixes that now you can render cavity passes and use them in compositing too
06:10maya motors tool for blender miss that maya style merge tool this add-on brings it back click and drag any vertex or edge onto another they weld instantly you get full control
06:25merge at first last or center point use hotkeys just like maya 123 acfl while dragging to control everything it also lets you select loops rings convert edges
06:40to curves and duplicate along paths a total time saver if you model a lot
06:46and that's a wrap on today's blender drops if even one of these add-ons made your jaw drop mission complete
07:05let me know which one you're downloading first or if you're already deep into one of them till next time
07:22keep blending keep creating and don't forget the add-on life is the fast life catch you in the next one
07:29i tried so hard and got so far
07:36but in the end
