felt like just yesterday when blender was completley changed in 2.8 , and now were on 4.3, cant believe it.

[@AiME9696]

light linking in eevee next is a big deal for npr rendering

[@cg.man_aka_kevin]

15:38, volumetrics update looks cool!

[@AD-Dom]

Really dig the grease pencil updates. Though, gonna wait for the production release for use.

[@AlanHPerry]

Hooray! Finally a bone eyedropper, after all these years! 🎉🎉

[@SyrupFan]

Finally!!

[@artyombevsubdiv]

In my opinion, starting with version 4.2, the developers have ruined the well-functioning EEVEE render settings - Shadows, Ambient Occlusion and Bloom. Previously, I could select the maximum shadow map in 4K, and they looked good enough at any distance. Now I have to be content with the "update", and in the new settings, with any parameters, I can see noticeable shadow steps if the object is too far from the "convenient" distance for their better rendering. It is now unclear how to adjust Ambient Occlusion. I definitely cannot make it many times darker than the new settings offer. Bloom can now only be obtained through compositing, and even then, personally, I have not yet had any result like before by default. Personally, I am staying on 4.1, because I still do not use most of the new functionality, and I mostly do modeling.

[@chrisb3685]

you should ask for a refund. 😉

[@dispatersdance9691]

I’ve stayed with 4.1 as well

[@arlo1993-n1c]

to be honest, this is the first time in a long time that I'm not going to download the beta. We must stop adding gadget functions and concentrate on useful modules like redoing the texture system, Houdini's coopernicus does it very well, improving the light linking system, developing the pathguiding for the GPU, improving the caustics, in short, talk a little more to professionals who use Blender more and more...

[@IrocZIV]

Some nice stuff, thanks for showing them off.

[@gabrielmoro3d]

Excited for this one!

[@JackFruh]

Very nice overview, thank you!

[@jamesabell9494]

Autokey red colour! At last. Still, the whole button doesn't go red but its an improvement.

[@scpk2246]

time flies so fast

[@Pxilez3d]

Really amazing update That red auto key will help me notice that's it's on before ruining everything

[@NicCrimson]

They also added a new gizmo node in Geo Nodes, really big at least for me!

[@midorifox]

That early animation is NPR gold.

[@cosmosmythos]

awesome progress! I hope they can make intel's Open VKL work in the future

[@ajaypassi10]

Eevee light linking is bast update for me 🎉🎉🎉

[@visual_chris]

grease pencil update is so good

[@jinchoung]

would love it if, for the areas, when the user is creating a new one, they make the shade green instead of grey which is hard to see. and then when getting rid of an area, they shade the window that will disappear instead of the window that is kept and they made that shaded red.

[@virgilhawkins3390]

Wait the use nodes for lighting... That was an emission node - do we get Eevee viewport bloom back now??

[@pepsidragon1]

wheres that cowboi animation from? 0:10

[@thecolonialssaidbewarethequ]

The blender studio

[@stasorange]

white balance is the best new tool on it

[@artistrahhul]

Would it also manage the vertex count as good as ZBrush?

[@ayushghosh5855]

can anyone point me to the direction of the windmill animation source in the opening montage?

[@horriblypink]

I have to stop updating Blender, I just downloaded 4.2 yesterday and already don't know how to use Blender anymore they changed so much.

[@purrspctiv]

What version were you on? 4.1? The biggest change in 4.2 was Eevee.

[@horriblypink]

@@purrspctiv Was using 3.8

[@spiralingspiral72]

blender 3.8 literally doesnt exist

[@humberlick]

Need to upgrade the computer and graphics card to run Blender 4. UP

[@m.filmtrip]

Is there an easier way to rig and weight grease pencil yet and transfer weights from objects to gp?

[@mixchief]

One bug I hope they'll adress is keymap duplication (multiples of the exact same operator/keynap). Also lingering keymaps from uninstalled addons is annoying. Wish that was made impossible from the core-side of Blender.

[@coinopanimator]

Can we move/scale/#rotate collections?

[@coinopanimator]

Import instances simply? And reliable?

[@bmd_videos]

I imported and fbx file into 4.0 no issue I did same with 4.3 the character was every where

[@adiiiiii1]

That's why it's Beta version

[@JarppaGuru]

no panic 4.4 coming

[@Godzilla1999-tyus1]

Still waiting for metallic baking 😕

[@mohamadbt4055]

great

[@AgeOfGarSkew]

I didn't get 4.2 because my 4.0 work opened up all broken, mostly lights because of Eevee next. Curious if that's fixed or if I need to wait and finish my current project on 4.0 and switch to 4.3 when I start the next one. Gonna try it now and reply to this comment with what happens.

[@AgeOfGarSkew]

Nope still busted. Best to wait until the official any way. Curious to find out what's changed that makes the lights look so different.

[@jittertn]

​@@AgeOfGarSkewthe whole engine is new lol It had a complete rewrite

[@TheAkafa]

Please stop it little bit. I still learning on 3.6 D:

[@_ophium_]

When blender can handle high poly like zbrush.? 😢

[@antoonsorg]

I am waiting for the animation 2025. Then i will probable upgrade. I still stick with 3.6.5 LTS

[@egretfx]

why they made developing a blender addon for 4.2 and above even harder?? this is ridiculous.

[@李人也]

blender is he going to update GPU fluid simulation, dynamics simulation, fabric simulation, particle simulation

[@meldyluova3340]

17:48 "availabo"

[@dante_2_real]

Blender updates and talking speed are the same lmao

[@ValeGoG]

10/10

[@KudoRedfox]

Is the god awful eevee fixed yet?

[@LavaWig]

Omg I hope so

[@michaelzouzoukov6936]

Please can you tell me your GPUs specs?

[@SABA12310]

only one cleanest looking software...

[@scarit.]

🥸❤️

[@Vertexvoyager]

What's the best blender

[@aroundtheworld1983_]

For me 3.4. But this is full of new options so i'll try it. 4.2 lt's the worst for me

[@jbdh6510]

the newest, 4.2

[@wolvAUS]

4.2

[@ВадимШкурко-б4э]

задолбал _ этими новыми версиями .... ЗАДОЛБАЛ _ !!!!!

[@Ryusakiiii]

Make something that can rival houdini

[@Dhieen]

the new splat screen looks... AI generated I know its not but this is starting to eb scary, we now easliy doubt if an image is ai or not, right?

[@BoboTheImp]

It's made by the greasepencil team lmao

[@ruudygh]

no gaussian splatting

[@robsonhenrique4346]

Like

[@phu320]

I hope to prompt blender like I prompt a lot of ai generators.

[@jlee6566]

What happened to Blender in the last months ? Last updates were pure trash, nothing special at all. Who needs updates for brushes or GrEAsE PeNcIL ? Cmon guys

[@venacava7897]

What do you suggest, I am curious

[@Deadline_67]

We need more c4d rival motion tools 😢🥹🥹🥹
