  1. Unfortunately, Prism add-on for nice glass material was removed from Blender Market 🙁 Is there explanation how it was created anywhere?? Since it was removed from Market, maybe it may become free & public now?

  2. For those interested, i made an addon which ports your model between Blender and Headus UV layout. It will export the model as an OBJ you can edit the UV in UV layout and send it back to blender. Its quite nice, added some features like automatic packing etc. Headus UV layout has much better uv unwrapping tools, its a bit outdated but is still a very good application.

    I also made a pattern generator for Marvelous Designer. It will draw all pattern you made as a curve in Blender and automatically draw them in Marvelous Designer. Marvelous doesnt have proper import function, so say you got a drawing of some clothing piece, say PDF or different format. You can import this into Blender and make a curves of them. Then use this addon so it draws them for you in Marvelous. It uses system mouse control and records the distance between verts, these are then transformed to X-Y coordinates and send to the mouse controller.

    This one doesnt have a gitHub page yet though

  3. I recommend checking out HDRI-Haven. This guy has a bunch a extremely high quality HDRIs for completely free. No catches. It’s pretty surreal but it’s very real. Every HDRI is up to 16k also!

    I know it’s not an add on technically but it’s still an extremely useful resource.

  4. What's up with the beach and waves videos? The thumbnail is pure clickbait, I thought that a least one add on would be about simulating liquids and shit ¬¬
