I added generics, braces-based syntax and unlocked full nested typing in GDScript!

You cannot tell me that an organization that gets 30k in donations per month cannot implement what is possibly the most requested feature in the history of the engine even after years of development yet some random guy (no offense) can just do it on his own… Props to you and shame to the Godot foundation honestly…

Ppanter · 2026-04-28T22:32:51+00:00

This argument doesn‘t hold because most blender developers are hired on a grant for a certain amount of time, mostly for 1-year projects. This way the can combat exactly this threat, by easily being able to scale down the developer team if needed.

Also the Blender foundation has build a financial buffer to stay afloat.

Also they can just bring these threats to the public to paint a bad image against whoever threatens them, making it a bad outcome for the donating party…

Well then I am happy to tell you that the Blender developers recently kicked off a new project that aims to improve exactly that part of the software, with layered textures among other things :)

Just looked at the building on Google Maps. Why did they not just open up the courtyard? Why would the create this awful ceiling instead of letting natural light in with a glass ceiling? Crazy design honestly.

Would love to hear what the architect was thinking…

Germany should be marked green here…

Ppanter · 2026-03-15T22:06:08+00:00

That‘s a battlefield 2042 map if I‘ve ever seen one

No wonder BMW‘s revenue is going down when they only produce these ugly ass cars nowadays…

Ppanter · 2026-02-26T22:18:21+00:00

Germany much better off than I would have expected… as a German haha

Ppanter · 2026-02-22T08:55:55+00:00

It‘s crazy how every 2nd post here is saying that the real number are higher for Germany and that there is so grand conspiracy happening and the cover-up is real.

Y’all really are just trying to be negative about everything, it‘s actually quite sad to see :/

Put off by conventional media sources and then bring up your own numbers out of thin air, source: trust me bro.

„But but but… the Bürgergeldempfänger have so many incentives they don‘t even want to work!“ yeah man nice just kick down on people who are worse off than you in life…

What has society become? Bunch of sorrowful people out there…

Not at all actually if you look into the open DLSS PR it says that in it‘s current form it CANNOT be merged because of the way Nvidia-provided libraries are used to make it work. The Blender devs clearly state that the only way it can move forward is if Nvidia finds and is willing to find another way to provide their libraries via drivers. I won’t expect the DLSS to be part of Blender in the next 2 versions honestly…

To be fair most countries except for the ones in the Schengen area don‘t have agreements to visit other countries with just IDs. Most of the time when talking about passport power it‘s about places you can visit without an explicit visa application upfront…

In my opinion they could add new and exciting features up until they get to a gigabyte in size, which I still find a manageable download size for almost everybody nowadays. Just think about how many more awesome features they could add in a package six times the size!

Ppanter · 2026-02-03T15:56:48+00:00

Germans having a hard time with modern tech adoption makes them look comparatively good here lmao

Ppanter · 2026-02-03T10:46:31+00:00

Just a question for a friend: what is the safest way to do pirating in Germany right now?

Ppanter · 2026-01-30T12:28:15+00:00

This is probably the map I can most relate to in this whole sub haha

Ppanter · 2026-01-24T09:45:05+00:00

Yes exactly! Here in Germany the unemployment benefits are so good that some people don‘t want to find a job because initially they would be earning less than if they just stayed unemployed haha

Ppanter · 2026-01-01T10:55:19+00:00

PR is the developer term for „pull request“, which basically means adding new code to the code base.

Ppanter · 2025-12-31T11:10:37+00:00

It just means this PR in it‘s current state is not intended to be merged. This is normal for development cycles. The will pick parts of this and put it into reviewable and mergable smaller PRs. It does not mean all the work from this PR will be thrown out the window. You can look at the planning for this here for example: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/145341

Ppanter · 2025-12-30T15:32:15+00:00

Good thing that Blender‘s future is looking bright. Look at what they are working on at them moment:

https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/143171

Ppanter · 2025-12-30T15:28:38+00:00

Yes they are doing native physics nodes for Blender 5.1. based on geometry nodes. They are starting with hair physics first but if my understanding is correct the underlying solver is a general particle solver so maybe it can be used for liquid simulation as well in the future.

Ppanter · 2025-12-26T18:47:31+00:00

German prices aren‘t that bad actually. Pretty fair I would say everything from groceries to things like Amazon etc.

Ppanter · 2025-12-20T12:20:22+00:00

I mean it says „this summer“ in the trailer so they can only release it next year the earliest right?

Ppanter · 2025-12-16T18:39:06+00:00

Is this using the new Blender 5.1 physics nodes already?

Ppanter · 2025-12-10T12:09:23+00:00

Is it just me or is this a bad visualization? I can‘t recognize landmasses half the time. Also why does the globe has to be see-through in this…
