A fascinating new video from our studio just came out!

I have been working like absolute crazy over the past two months for this - #MolecularNodes 4.2 is now released for #b3d 4.2 A huge number of new features - which I will cover some here. - Selections using MDAnalysis @mdanalysis.bsky.social selection language are updated live.

Blender soft body simulations are great for animating squishy things like cells, but they break if you make cells divide. So I'm building my own cell growth soft body simulator from the ground up in blender geometry nodes. Hope to release this tool soon. #b3d

Biologically inspired procedural organic material shader I made in Blender. #b3d

Malignant transformation tumor growth animation. Made in Blender using a soft body physics tissue growth solver I'm building in geometry nodes. #b3d #sciart

Collective tissue contraction animation I made in Blender. Testing out using simulations to drive material shaders for artistic depictions of multicellular dynamics. The simulation represents every cell by a single point, connected to its neighbors by viscoelastic springs. #b3d

This visualization I made is a journey through a 10K cell single-cell RNA-seq dataset: from sequence alignment to multicellular cluster analysis [data source: 10k PBMC from a healthy donor (v3), courtesy of 10x Genomics]

In this animation, I explore the struggle between killer T-cells and a cancer cell in a crowded and dynamic tissue. Made with Houdini and Blender.

If a human cell were the size of a baseball... A short visualization I made exploring the seemingly impossible combination of scales in cell biology. Made in #b3d and houdini.
