Blender 3D: tutorials, articles, tips, notes
BIS (Blender Interplanety Storage) updated to v.1.8.1.
There is a convenient opportunity in the Cycles render engine to render an object with shadows on a transparent background using material with the “shadow catcher” option. There is no such material in EEVEE render engine, however, in EEVEE we can make our own “shadow catcher” based only on nodes.
Completed “EEVEE Shadow Catcher” material you can get from the BIS library.
BIS (Blender Interplanety Storage) updated to v.1.8.0.
The “Bloom” effect in the EEVEE rendering engine looks very impressive but does not visible when rendering on a transparent background.
But this can be fixed.

In Blender Cycles using common lamps we can illuminate objects with any texture, not just a single color.
Add an object, for example – sphere, to the scene:
shift+a – Mesh – UVSphere
and set a simple diffuse shader to it.
BIS (Blender Interplanety Storage) updated to v.1.7.1.
To increase the speed and convenience of working with the “Pie Menu” in Blender you can use its “autoclick” option. To use it press the desired “Pie Menu” call keys, don’t release them, move the mouse cursor in the direction of the desired item, and only then release the buttons on the keyboard. You don’t need to click on a menu item, the choice is made automatically.
In Blender 2.80 the animation starts/stops by pressing the spacebar key. The pop-up form for operators searching is now called by pressing the F3 key.

Except for the “Gradient Texture” node, we can obtain a gradient factor by using some simple equations. Look for the mathematics with a spherical gradient sample.
Can be created based on a downward-facing cone equation.
Code autocomplete greatly simplifies writing scripts or developing add-ons for Blender. One of the best autocomplete modules for today is developed by Nutti. Last updated 20190718.
The project is hosted on the author’s GitHub: https://github.com/nutti/fake-bpy-module
The modules are distributed via pip or as a pre-generated-modules. Author also provides a module generator with which you can assemble autocomplete modules yourself.
