Ever wish you could learn about Blender 3D from Notorious B.I.G.? Sometimes all it takes is a little AI here, a little hip hop there, and before you know it, you learned something. Also making appearances: Eminem, Jay-Z, Kanye, Snoop, Tupac...RIP

I’ll just point out that Blender 3.0 dropped today.

Better known as the Detox of open source 3d graphic software.

This seems kind of…not great conceptually, even if the tech is impressive. (Impressively terrifying.)

I’m kind of reminded of Pat Metheny’s comments on Kenny G “dueting” with Armstrong.

Yeah, these are leaning pretty hard on the novelty of the tech - the verses don't even attempt any kind of flow, much less a flow that mimics the real artist. And a lot of the pronunciation needs to be cleaned up.

But I still shared it on Facebook, so hey.

Oh man, I actually watched a longer video last night of someone explaining all the modifiers, or most, in Blender but it was nowhere near as entertaining as this. Not only that, but this actually works to succinctly explain this subset of modifiers in more detail. Love it!

The flow wasn't perfect but a) Blender skills rarely translate to verse writing and b) I think even a resurrected Biggie would find it a worthy challenge to take all of the important jargon in this tutorial and make it into a killer song, he could definitely do it, but it wouldn't be easy, he's just good.
