Blender 4.3 Features in LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES!

[@nesferatu]

Really would love to see Blender devs overhaul the texturing tools. Implementing a layered work flow with smart masks, generated maps, etc. like Substance Painter. Seems like Grease Pencil and Geometry Nodes get all the love nowadays.

[@gurratell7326]

@@nesferatu No layers please, layers are so clunky and limited compared to nodes. Though I do agree that the painting capabilities of Blenders texturing workflow really do need an upgrade!

[@nostalgianinja]

@@gurratell7326 I've been using Ucupaint while I'm waiting for paint layers, and while it's a nice plugin, I would love to have something built in because having layers makes the texture painting process easier if you want to break down the whole texture painting process instead of thinking how you layer your canvas.

[@herb2110]

I recommend the addon ucupaint for layered texture painting

[@paoloromero6076]

@@gurratell7326 why no both? :0

[@w1-w2-w3]

I'm sure they will improve some features for texturing but not too much I guess. Adobe join Blender donation fund every years now, just for substance painter add-on.

[@Merengil]

OMG the bone picking tool! So glad they added this, writing the bone name could be such a hassle while rigging...

Yup !!!

[@agyab3d]

if evee is light linking accurately now, that's it all i need ❤

[@jessepender5239]

I was an early adopter of 2.8 when Blender really launched into it's modern form. It's been cool to see how much it's progressed in the time I've been using it not to mention everything that came before.

[@ozfunghi]

I started using Blender in 2002. You needed a PHD to understand the UI. You should look up some tutorials from back then.

[@SimonHeggieVFX]

Tip for donations: scroll through people's names, it's a highly motivating way to remind people they get a little free brand advertising by donating enough. Just for gold, you can sneak a KZbin handle in there. Good to know for people on the cusp of donations.

[@blackjackringer5375]

Yess more sculpt updates let's go! Hopefully blender get's to the same performance as zbrush or nomad/3dcoat

[@sebbosebbo9794]

Z Brush , 3d Coat use a compl. diff. aproach ..cant be compared ... Blender is a simple Poly Pusher should be compared with such. . I think the overhaul of the fundamental data stucture handling code is well handled. The B3d Blog post is well written and show how much work is done what fallows next & what cost & effects it will all have ...

[@nesferatu]

I bought and went through SpeedChar's ZBrush course...took copious notes and fought with the UI and the Zmodeller tools etc...only to find out he ended up switching to Blender for sculpting. 😭

[@DarkHarpuia]

@nesferatu LORD. Yeah, I had to take SO MANY NOTES on Zbrush's horrid UI because it is the kinda program that if you stop using it for two days, you forget everything.

[@MikeyOfLegend]

[@bafsoncg]

Blender is more to become industry standard

[@twixtoreditor]

yeah they're getting closer and closer

[@FutureRules]

Never going to happen (technical animator at a big studio here), overhauling a pipeline is very expensive, no studio is going to do that. It can also break projects and the code. The problem is that Blender updates their application too fast, studios and devs can't keep updating their projects and pipeline to match it, they end breaking and destroying stuff. Assets become incompatible, etc. Also, Blender does not have a dedicated support team like Autodesk and Side FX, you can call a support guy at 3AM at night, and he'll log into your system to check out the error message and fix it. What you are essentially paying for when it comes to these big industry software is the support team.

[@saaddudin7163]

I guess blender has it's own standard, as some one said above, some paid similar software has it's own customer services. But that doesn't meant you can't have industry standart projects, if your projects is big enough, you can team up with blender developers team, especially if you have big fund too, to support and advance blender with money and testing in the field projects.

[@zizzonedibattipaglia6247]

​@@FutureRulesyea they're going definitely too fast, which is good for blender itself but not for standard pipelines agree

[@zedeon6299]

Old gen artists will probably never use blender because of the pipeline or something

[@hongquiao]

Where do we get it? Is it out yet? The Blender download page has 4.2.3 LTS, and the experimental page has the alpha for 4.4 but I can't find 4.3...

[@KudoRedfox]

Is the Eevee running good again like pre 4.2? Or at least option for Eevee Legacy? If not i'll forever stick with 4.1

[@LavaWig]

Omg am so glad am not alone with this am stuck at 4.1 Eevee beyond that is frustrating

[@Dream-Designers]

What system configuration do you have in your studio for this work?

[@heartlights]

gonna download this week or next week probably. But did we get Influence option for Effects in Grease Pencil???!!??

[@soleroplong8664]

Can you make a tutorial on how to get the best renders out of eevee?

[@tasmanianjayney]

What're the chances you have a tutorial for the scene @ 4:20?

[@MyStudio-io3so]

Not sure how much people are aware of this. Using a Light Path node with the socket Is Transmission Ray connect to a background node which connects a World output node produces a render output better than cycles for some renders. Mess around with it and do a video based on it. Just three nodes is all it takes to make Eevee better than Cycles. You also have to adjust the View Transform and contrast in Colour Management as well as having the Raytracing box checked in Render Properties. Be the judge for yourselves.

[@tarettime9392]

Did the double anisotropic error get fixed in this drop? Ik it was part of the 4.3 experimental releases

[@SenForte97]

i want to ask something, after my blender got upgrade from 4.2 to 4.3 through steam, my shortcut for move item to 0 not working anymore. as usual i tried the hotkey G + X/Y/Z + 0, it doesnt move the object to the center of the grid. i tried reset preferences and no luck. then i tried on older version such as 4.0 and 3.6 i installed before, they suddenly behave the same. i tried uninstall them all and clean the registry and other leftover data, reinstall blender 4.2 (not 4.3) and i tried again, its still the same the gx0 wont work, but when i use other number like 1 2 3 it works and move. note that i did move the object slight from the center so its not on 0 and i tried it on a fresh opened new file. also i noticed that whenever i use the hotkey g+xyz+0, instead of moving the object back to center, it types number zero on top left like this "D: [0|] = 0 m (0m) along global Y", when i keep pressing the 0, it only adds the 0 to 0000 and not moving the object back to center. please if anyone happen to know any answer would help. because it affecting the older version too and couldnt be undone for now

[@felixanr]

honestly I love how much progress is Blender taking, but geez, I'm sick of many updates for each year. I dont have the time to take all the new stuff and get used to it. It can be optional, but later some resources/ models/ materials/ addons will be not compatible for earlier versions :/ Good video tho!

[@AvitheTiger]

Already wtf? I just upgraded to 4.2 only for it to tell me my computer is unsupported and go back to 4.1

[@Nythron_IV]

That's weird. What GPU do you have? What did they change to make it incompatible?

[@janjavate1405]

Same. I just downloaded latest LTS then another one came out and it has the grease pencil update I've been waiting for.

[@matslarsson5988]

This sounds wrong to me. I have never heard blender complaining about unsupported computers. You sure the rest of your computer is set up properly? This is just a friendly question. Not me accusing you of doing things wrong. Just want to help.

[@janjavate1405]

@@matslarsson5988 not sure if they're complaining but it is a hassle and probably hard to pull off supporting hardwares that is like a decade old. Computers evolve and so do the drivers and softwares, leaving old technology obsolete as ppl upgrade to a better computer. Few years ago, I remember Blender dropped support for a 64bit windows 7 so I was stuck with v2.92 for a very long time. I couldn't even upgrade to the latest 2.93 LTS and had to stick with the bugs and find ways to optimize projects or do workaround my technological limitations. I was lucky enough that I got a hand-me down broken laptop that gave me the opportunity to relearn blender again. Lot has change when I returned to 4.0

Am I the only one bothered by the fast update rythme? We had 3 different versions in a single year… barely touched 4.2 that 4.3 is there Would rather have 4.3 be the 4.2 instead

[@user-eu5ol7mx8y]

That's why I'm sticking to 4.2 LTS

[@UnRais-d2e]

I'm sure youre not the only one. But I love it. Just stick to the LTS versions until you're ready to update, you can download older versions of blender (all the way back to 1.0) from their website, so there's certainly no pressure for anyone to update if they don't want to.

[@winglessmecha]

Eevee should have remained Eevee (npr) not a dowgrade Cycles... what's even the point of using Eevee when you can just use Cycles?

[@shamaiahellis8810]

Eevee being closer to cycles defeats the whole purpose. It was supposed to make rendering quicker and real time now i get crashes just by being in preview.
