Blender add-on “NodeTree Source” updated to v. 1.1.0.
For some toon shaders, it can be difficult to set up good reflections. the principle of non-realistic shading prevents the scene lighting from being processed correctly.
However, in the EEVEE render engine, we can set up fake reflections for toon shaders, which will look good and render quickly.
The Blender 2.93.1 LTS release is now enabled for downloading on the official Blender site.
19 issues were fixed in this version.
To create a new collection in the scene using the Blender Python API, we need to execute the following:

Blender add-on template generator updated to version 1.7.0.
Let’s look at how we can use displacement with the “Geometry Nodes” in Blender.
First, add a cylinder (with the 0.1 diameters, without upper and lower closing polygons) to the scene: shift+a – Mesh – Cylinder.
Switch to edit mode (tab) and add edges to make the uniform grid: ctrl+r – 100 – Enter.
AniCam – the Blender 3D add-on that allows the animating camera and render output resolution. Camera resolution can be animated by curves or by markers.
Some Blender operators can only be called from the workspace for which they are intended.
If you call from the Python console, for example, an operator intended only for working in the 3D Viewport area, the operator will not be executed:
|
1 2 3 |
bpy.ops.wm.toolbar() # {'CANCELLED'} |
or it will fail with an error message about the incorrect context:
|
1 2 3 |
bpy.ops.view3d.background_image_add() # RuntimeError: Operator bpy.ops.view3d.background_image_add.poll() failed, context is incorrect |
However, we can still execute operators from a non-native working area. To do this, we can pass the first implicit parameter to any operator – a pointer to the context of the area in which this operator should be executed. This parameter commonly named the “overridden context”.
This method is suitable for Blender version 3.1 and earlier. For Blender 3.2 and later, we must use the temp_override() method.
Since version 2.93, Blender developers moved its API to Python 3.9. This means that Blender will no longer run on computers with Windows 7 operating system because it has no compatibility with this version of Python. In order to continue using the latest versions of Blender, users will have to update their operating system.
However, thanks to the fan-made work of Alexandru Naiman, Blender 2.93 can still be run on Windows 7.
