A creator hub for Source Filmmaker and Blender animations, asset packs, tutorials, and the HoovyTools Blender add-on.

Why it surfaced

HoovyTube offers a notably concrete ecosystem: 600+ particle effects, 400+ animations, and 30+ scenebuilds, alongside an add-on that imports SFM models, animation, and audio into Blender with frame-level timing. Its tutorials are sorted by Easy, Medium, and Hard, giving the site the feel of a working community resource rather than a generic portfolio.

A File Musicians Can Argue With

August 7’s newborn domains include editable orchestral scores with up to 33 staves, 15 years of Valencia council interventions, a dementia-friendly frame with one optional button, and a memorial golf tournament whose winner wears the Meatball Jacket.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-07 Domain Arrivals issue.
