Ubisoft releases Mixer, a Blender add-on for collaboration

Ubisoft has announced an update to Mixer, its open-source Blender add-on designed to facilitate real-time collaboration. It allows multiple Blender users to work on the same scene at the same time. The add-on uses a broadcasting server that is independent of Blender which makes it possible to implement a connection for other 3D editing software. The latest update adds support for synchronising armatures, geometry node trees, and the ability to ignore scene camera. Find out more and download the project from Github and watch videos on YouTube.

Interest how this plays out. Its kind of an “Omniverse” from nvidia?

I have no idea yet, so far what I understand is that you get a local version of the scene in your computer, and the changes are transmitted in real time to all participants, I’m not sure if others can see your cursor or what do you have selected, I imagine they can, but I still have to test it.

However it’s super interesting, for review sessions and helping others as a minimum 🙂

Asides from being free for use the Blender updates have not impressed me that much, but this is some seriously amazing stuff. It reminds me of those collaborating minecraft servers where they build completely worlds and cities from scratch. If this will become anything like that, it could be such a game changer.
Great job Ubisoft.

Man the updates have been so good!
Not sure if sculpting is your thing but honestly my use of zbrush has dramatically been reduced, honestly the sculpting updates on there own are game-changers for me

There has been lots of good updates – performance (2.9x->), sculpting, udim, openvdb, small animation updates, rendering updates optix and open image denoising, simulation (hair, cloth, mantaflow) has got improvements.. And then all under development things like everything nodes and texturing tools.

Blender is just getting better and better.

And now this add-on. wow.

Blender updates are indeed not great these days.
They add features that are useless but shiny for noobs excitement.
However, when it’s about making professional and futureproof features like procedural lighting rendering workflows, nobody cares.

Hello,
it looks like they updated the add-on, it’s more mature and well documented now:
