This is the big moment we've been waiting for! The last few years of working on Goo Engine have all been leading to the moment where we can finally integrate the NPR features we've been researching into Blender official!

It's finally here!! Goo Engine is difficult to build on Mac since very few of our studio members have Macs avaiable for us to build on to test. However, through much hard work and perseverance, we finally got an M1/M2 build for Goo Engine that works! Updates: A functioning M1/M2 Mac build! New Half

It's finally here!! As we come off our last production, we're ready to test and release Goo Engine 4.1! This has all the new features of Blender native 4.1 integrated with Goo Engine features!

If you're crashing a lot on Mac and you have an M1 chip, this is the fix for you. 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 u

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 com

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

I hope you guys enjoy our latest animation! It was an official Collab with Arknights, the game.

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 t

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

I hope you guys like it!! This is one of our biggest projects yet, and I'm really proud of the team of what we accomplished! And yes, this was all made in Goo Engine! I'm gonna get some sleep :D maxresdefault.jpg (YouTube)
