With Blender 4.0 having been released this past week, we've been internally testing Goo Engine 4.0 to get it ready for production and release. So far things have been good to go, so here it is!! Enjoy!
The biggest updates of 4.0 are the updates that we've inherited from Blender's master branch. This includes a whole new bone collections system for rigs, some asset browser updates, and a new font for the whole UI.

2023-10-25 11:41:13 +0000 UTC View PostWe've created a few tools over the years to help us with our animation workflow! One of the biggest and most helpful tools has been "Bake to Empties" which allows us to do all sorts of space switch tricks for easier handling by the animator afterwards. There's several different ways Bake to Empties can work, and each of these options gives the animators more control depending on the situation they're in. It's incredibly powerful despite being deceptively simple.

This 3D model of the gun we used in Progenitor is now available for download! The license specifies that its primary use for should be for studying and information. Using the asset directly in Commercial projects is not allowed, such as being used as a game asset in a game to sell later.
Personal projects, such as a demo reel, are allowed :) however, please do not redistribute or resell the asset!

We had a lot of people using M1 chip Macs saying they have issues with Goo Engine's shaders crashing or not working in various ways. This is because Goo Engine was developed for OpenGL support, not Metal.
Thanks to a user on patreon, we've figured out a solution for this! OpenGL used to be the default for the Mac version of Blender up until 3.4. However, currently it seems M1 Macs set that default t...

Windows download link is still available in the 2023-08-23 00:35:18 +0000 UTC View Post
So from our Mac users, we received several reports that the build was crashing on render or when set to rendered view. Unfortunately, none of our developers are Mac users, so it has been difficult to debug accurately via just the cloud server we rented.
So last week as mentioned, we bought a Mac computer! With a physical Mac, we were able to debug more accurately to the hardware and we've fixed the major crashing issues that were present in the previous builds for our Mac build. We test...

Goo Engine 3.6.02 - Windows
An update for Mac users! We're aware of a major bug with the Mac version that causes crashing when switching to rendered view. We've since bought a Mac to help us debug the issue and should have a solution by the end of next week! Stay tuned for a new working download lin...
Hey guys! Just releasing an intermediate build with a brand new experimental feature:
Continuous Trackball
This is for those who may be more familiar with Maya's trackball. It gives a bit more of a 3D transformation than Blender's default trackball behavior (which is screenspace based). We had a few Maya animators bring it up so we decided to try to replicate it ourselves.

This demo file by Soranin demonstrates the newest Texture Mapping Randomize feature for Grease Pencil lineart. Without this, adding custom textures to lineart would repeat the texture across each stroke in exactly the same way, making the repetition very noticeable, and unusable for organic looking lines.

I hope you guys enjoy our latest animation! It was an official Collab with Arknights, the game. We also used Goo Engine for this project as always, and will have a behind the scenes stream later this month! :D
2023-07-30 04:21:19 +0000 UTC View PostFile will say 3.6.01 just to help differentiate it. But it's still functionally 3.6.0!
We fixed up some render issues with Mac, and also updated some things on both sides. Since people were having some stability issues, I figured I'd update you guys and see if it helps!
Update for 3.6.0 with bug fixes!!
Goo Engine 3.6.0 for Windows
With the official release of 3.6, here's the newest build of Goo Engine, as well!
Bug Fixes
- For Goo Engine stuff, there was a bug where Set Depth node was broken specifically for NVIDIA GPUs. That's been fixed!
Latest build download is in the next post!

We've completely refactored the code this time around, but it's finally ready! Here's Goo Engine 3.6 a little bit earlier than even the official 3.6 release, to make up for skipping 3.5 hehe. Feel free to take a dive into all the new native 3.6 features, as well, which will all ...

We ended up crunching super hard for this one but here it is announced on Patreon if you missed it :D
Yes all of this was made in Goo Engine! We'll be doing a more in depth behind the scenes when we can.
Goo Engine 3.5 will be releasing this month sometime, so stay tuned! Excited for all the improvements we have planned!
Hey goos! Here's a custom add-on we made a while back that helps us manage our view layers more intuitively than what's offered in native Blender.
You can download it here ! Make sure to go to the add-on settings and turn on "Replace original ViewLayer menu" for the UI to show up at the top.

Hey goos! So we had some small bugs in the previous build regarding the Node-based Light Groups that we went ahead and fixed up! We also fixed up the material preview spheres. These should be working as intended now.
But we also added a few extra QoL animation and rigging features for our own team that you guys might enjoy! Check out the previous 2023-02-01 07:07:17 +0000 UTC

As you know, we mentioned that we would be updating Goo Engine as Blender updates natively so we can keep up to date with new features. While that may not always be possible, we try our best to do so not only for you guys, but for our studio. And after some elbow grease, here's the latest build!
But not only does it contain all of native Blender's 3.4 new features, we also added some updates of our own! These are big important features that we found to be key improvemen...

Hey everyone!! This is our first ever Experimental Release for some tools that we've developed but haven't had time to test extensively. I want to thank everyone who's been part of the experimental tier, and I hope this is useful to you in some way!
Over the years, Blender has *never* had a good Onion Skinning tool for 3D animators. I know one is being worked on but may not be finished for years as they overhaul the animation workflow as a whole.
However, we stumbled upon an...
