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•1h 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•1h 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•1h ago
+1 on that. Works for me after that
Joeboy•1h 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 easy, free and accessible but we collectively insisted that it's not OK to use it.

latexr•1h 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•1h ago
It's actually funny, the lack of styling actually makes consuming the info alot easier.
badosu•52m 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•51m 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•45m 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
saretup•6m ago
The top navigation definitely put me off, I immediately came back without even scrolling down.
hbosch•42m ago
The page is objectively and substantially better in every aspect of legibility with CSS loaded.
catapart•33m 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•28m 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?

Scaevolus•3m ago
They might be allowing global public caching of their /news/ blog posts (because WordPress is slow?), but not of the static /wp-content/ directory.
simgt•44m 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•39m 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.
dagmx•15m ago
Apple, AMD , Intel, NVIDIA, ILM are companies who have contributed or continue to contribute to Blender development.
jsheard•4m ago
What did ILM work on? I'm looking but I can't find anything regarding that.

As impressive as Blender is, I don't get the impression that it sees much use at very high end studios.

lfaw•26m 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?
Duanemclemore•21m ago
Can I ask what group you're with? I'm an architecture professor who implements (and teaches undergrads to implement) geometry with computational tool and I'm always trying to keep tabs on who's out there doing interesting work.
reactordev•5m ago
Man, to just be a fly on the wall. This is all so interesting to me. I hope these lab projects are open. I’d love to learn more about implementing computational geometry for architecture but lack the ability.

Here's an wonderful Blender extension, the Sculpt Wheel, that has concentric rings, and is deeply customizable (this video was posted 15 hours ago so it's fresh and current):
