I think there is some problem loading CSS for this site. Could be my current network though...

edit: you might need to auth yourself as human to cloudflare on blender.org for the site to display correctly.

LukaD•59m ago
Yeah, it's indeed broken because of cloudflare... I directly navigated to the stylesheet that wouldn't load (https://www.blender.org/wp-content/themes/bthree/style.css?x...) and got the cloudflare captcha thing. Now all the assets are loading for me.
ethmarks•58m ago
I had the same problem and authing on the main page fixed it.

If they're going to block unauthed stylesheet requests, surely they could at least make sure that the CF authenticator shows up on every page.

frustracean•1h ago
If anyone else is having trouble loading the CSS for the page, go to https://www.blender.org/wp-content/themes/bthree/style.css?x... to be Captcha'd by Cloudflare - it should load fine after that.
blensor•52m ago
+1 on that. Works for me after that
Joeboy•51m ago
Yeah the page is currently loading very quickly and is very easy to read due to an issue with Cloudflare.

Edit: If I'm honest, I find this specific css fairly innocuous. I have a more general grudge that raw HTML is free, easy and accessible but we collectively insisted that it's not OK to use it.

latexr•46m ago
I tested repeatedly, always clearing the cache, and there was essentially no speed difference in loading with or without the CSS. In one instance, loading with CSS was even faster.
sim04ful•44m ago
It's actually funny, the lack of styling actually makes consuming the info alot easier.
badosu•30m ago
Funny if not tragic. I was impressed at how good the styling of the page was until I realized the css did not load.
yuters•29m ago
It is way more readable with CSS, I don't know what you're all on about.

The font is bigger, the lines are shorter, the navigation doesn't take half the page. The only thing worse would be the contrast but it's not that bad.

a2128•23m ago
On mobile it's actually super readable and lines are a perfect length, and having to scroll past the top navigation doesn't affect readability much
hbosch•20m ago
The page is objectively and substantially better in every aspect of legibility with CSS loaded.
catapart•11m ago
Hey, take it easy! It's not nice to pick on those poor developers who can only read text that has been piped into their preferred TUI.
matthewaveryusa•6m ago
So what's the issue here (I know what the issue is in terms of the subresource not loading, a bit like an oauth redirect not executing properly if a user needs to log back in.)

Is it because of a misconfiguration on blender's end that should allow css to passthrough without verification, the query param messing a cloudflare passthrough default, or something else?

simgt•22m ago
If there are contributors to Blender from the industry, who are they? It's easy to understand how big tech can be contributing to Linux, data processing pipelines, web frameworks, compilers etc. but it's harder to see who has both the skills and incentives for design tools. Maybe some game studios have the necessary slack?
Uehreka•17m ago
I recall Apple contributing a Metal backend for Cycles back when the M1 Pro/Max came out. That was a big deal, made it actually possible to do renders on a Mac in non-insane amounts of time.
lfaw•3m ago
I'm quite interested in the academic research aspect, especially since our computational geometry group uses or plans on using Blender. However, I'm unclear about the details of this announcement. Is it related to funding opportunities or suggesting experimental features?

This Blender Lab page "Beyond Mouse and Keyboard" page mentions the "wheel menu":

Here's an wonderful Blender extension, the Sculpt Wheel, that has concentric rings, and is deeply customizable:
