The Set Mesh Normal node has recently been added to Geometry Nodes in Blender, allowing users to add or modify custom normals directly within the node system. For example, if you're looking to perform this kind of mesh welding – that is, smoothly blending or "fusing" parts of a mesh together – you can achieve this using a combination of modifiers. Please note that for the Vertex Weight Proximity modifier to work properly (as noted by 3D Artist Slinc_HD), you need to select all vertices in Weight Paint mode and assign them 100% weight (1.0) before applying the modifier. This video by FR3NKD shows the setup in action. Original post: https://lnkd.in/gu-CKSXu

Check Out This New Tech for Cinematic Lighting and Rendering 🐶 Infinite-Realities showcased Doggo "Rolo", an amazing new tech that helps creators with cinematic lighting and rendering. The team combined their in-house scanning pipeline with 3D Gaussian Splatting for Real-Time Radiance Field Rendering, a rendering method that leverages 3D Gaussians to represent the scene, thus preserving desirable properties of continuous volumetric radiance fields for scene optimization while avoiding unnecessary computation in empty space. #3dart #research #rendering #lighting #tech #technology
