People familiar with Flatpak and Blender... want to help Blender on board with Flatpak, officially upstream?

There's an open issue with initial tasks to be completed: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/102949

They could use some help around packaging and permissions. :)

Flatpak package for Linux releases

Blender on Linux is already available as a Snap package. Flatpak seems to be the more popular format at least on non-Ubuntu based distributions, so it would sense to officially support it as well.

@cassidy @elad Screen and window capture is useful if you want the entire app view, however some apps provide native canvas or viewport capture for timelapse purposes. For example:

* #Krita: https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/dockers/recorder_docker.html

There are also a handful of related add-ons for #Blender that can assist since the native screencast feature was removed in 2.8.

Recorder Docker

The recorder docker allows recording time lapses in Krita.

Here it is. The latest track I’ve released, and the first video clip I’ve ever done. It is, of course, Space Pop (feat. Kaaren Elizabeth Smith).

Kaaren is a long time friend who I used to co-host a weekly karaoke night with, at a small town bar called The Reef back in the 90’s!!

One of the goals of the Dgar Project is to write new songs, and record them with friends that I have some kind of music related history with. When I got the opportunity to record with Kaaren, I took it.

Kaaren, on the day, was amazing. I sent her a demo of the track to practice and listen to a week earlier. She did some really quirky takes. It’s all her voice too. There’s no auto-tune. There’s no pitch correction. It’s all her. So much fun.

The “doo doo doos” she does was originally a melody I played on a distorted electric guitar. On one of the takes she does these “doo doo doos” over the riff. It just sounds so cool, I replaced my guitar track with her vocals.

I also hope you enjoy my #Blender project that makes the video in all its 8 frames-per-second glory!

Please enjoy the #scifi #Dgar #indie #cult #musicvideo Space Pop (feat. Kaaren Elizabeth Smith!

Please find and give the song a “favourite” on your preferred streaming platform if you enjoy it.

Add Space Pop to a playlist!
