New in Blender 2.8 From an updated viewport to workspaces and dependency graphs. Blender 2.8 brings updates all over the board. Viewport Up until now, the viewport was lagging behind the rest of Blender.
Blender 2.8 brings the minimum OpenGL version to 3.3, with even newer features for compatible hardware. The main use of this technology is Blender’s new real-time render engine: Eevee Eevee is a fully-featured PBR (physically based-rendering) engine for real-time visualization. With advanced features such as volumetrics, screen-space reflections and refractions, soft shadows, post-processing effects such as ambient occlusion, depth of field, camera motion blur and bloom. More features to be implemented soon include subsurface scattering, object motion blur and contact shadows. Read more Grease Pencil Blender’s 2D drawing capabilities have been greatly improved with 2.8. The new Grease Pencil focus is to create a more friendly interface for the 2D artist, while keeping the advantages of having a full 3D suite underneath. Grease Pencil is no longer just a stroke, it’s now a real Blender object with huge improvements to brushes and tools.
Read more Organization View Layers & Collections Gone is the limit of 20 layers per scene. Blender 2.8 introduces a new concept to organize your scene with Collections and View Layers. Read more on code.blender.org. In order to ease the management of Collections, filtering in the Outliner has been improved. Check out the demo video.
Workspaces Workspaces will allow users to build up their working environment for a specific task. For example there could be workspaces for modeling, sculpting, animation and motion tracking.
More Features Dependency Graph At the heart of Blender, the dependency graph is getting a complete overhaul. Not only delivering better performance but also allowing overrides on data in a way not possible before. Asset Management This long awaited feature is finally coming to the 2.8x series. Blender 2.8 Design Document This document is for Blender developers and other contributors to the 2.8 project. It is meant to provide focus and general agreement on technical design decisions, state the goals of 2.8 and the big picture.

Attempting to open such.blend files in Blender 2.78c and earlier may crash. Some Interface Themes may need to be reloaded to work properly. The text color contained in a layout.box is now defined in User Preferences » Themes » User Interface » Box section When using the add-on Rigify, please note: Compatibility is broken for this release. There’s no guarantee rigs created in previous Blender versions will work correctly. Rigs created in Blender 2.78 may not be compatible with 2.79.
Rigs created in Blender 2.77 may still work. Save your work before attempting upgrading your rigs. Bug Fixes As for every Blender release, hundreds of bugs were fixed, thanks to the hardworking Blender developers. Total fixed bugs: 739 (382 from tracker, 357 reported/found by other ways). Blender 2.78b Release Notes Blender 2.78b is a performance update release which mainly includes speedups for Cycles rendering.
Cycles Multithreaded shader compilation. Various optimizations for emission meshes. Corrected light sampling for Branched Path Tracing, reduces noise leading to faster convergency. Improvements in constant folding algorithm, removing shading nodes which are not used for final evaluaiton. Improvements to some procedural textures (brick) Early light ray termination based on contribution of light to the result. Fix for background MIS with textures having small bright spots, which was causing fireflies. Different seed for subframes and different stereo views, allowing 'slow-motion' effect and improves VR experience.
Distance culling for objects to remove objects which are too far away from the camera. Fix for undesirable threads affinity change on Windows. Avoid various numerical issues in the kernel, solving fireflies. Fixes for deformation motion blur combined with autosplit.
Better remainedtime estimation. Various optimizations for deformation motion blur. Added time steps BVH option to speed up rendering of scenes with motion blur.
Cycles: GPU Use XDG folder for cache on Linux and OSX, which avoids having per-Blender version folder with all the OpenCL/CUDA kernels built. Ability to enable/disable individual GPUs as opposite to old behavior with pre-defined combinations only. Not only this helps to some artists, but also makes it possible to have flexible benchmark scripting. Cycles: CPU Use more global SSE optimizations for SSE4.1+ kernels. Multiple improvements for the latest AVX2 CPUS: Optimized various math utilities (cross-products, dot-products, min-axis-selection and others).
Faster version of triangle intersection function. Optimization of various steps in BVH traversal algorithm (including both construction and traversal). Cycles: OpenCL Added 3D textures support for OpenCL Make it conditional to compile-in transparent shadows support. Depending on a scene and hardware gives really major render time improvements.
Dependency graph Solve various race conditions (conflicts between threads which are working on the same data). Optimization of dependency graph construction time. Fix missing or wrong relation links, which were causing hard-to-reproduce bone flickering. Fix various crashes related on linked data blocks. Fixes for missing animation updates.
Other Fixed regression crash when adding texture node to compositor. Fixed crash of inverse kinematics on 32 bit Windows platforms Improve multi-threaded usage of fluid simulation Return correct alpha for environment map in GLSL Blender 2.78 Release Logs The Blender Foundation and online developer community are proud to present Blender 2.78, released September 30th 2016!

Blender’s interface also offers: Consistency across all platforms No disruptive pop-up windows Crisp text (support for retina on OSX) Sections/Browse similar tools. This is an exciting time, with the new-vamped Blender 2.5 currently under strong development. The alpha version is already very solid (try the latest build from graphicall.org - the 'official' 2.5 alpha 2 on the Blender site, hmm, maybe not so stable). It's the perfect opportunity to get your feet wet with this marvellous and fun app, in readiness for the looming production-ready version 2.6.
Start with basic 3D modeling, then to animating those models, then you can learn the video sequence editor (built-in NLE!) and even the built-in game engine! It's a powerful and actively-developed work of software art, I can only urge you to jump onboard and bring your dreams alive! I gave it a 10 for ease of use, not because it's easy (there is a considerable learning curve), but because once you've got your foot in the door, you begin to realise just how brilliantly-designed and fun this thing is! Congrats to the Blender Foundation (send 'em donations!). I've linked some guides (applicable to 2.5) that I can recommend for noobs to ease them gently into Blender.
Happy blending! I have tried all of the various 'Personal Learning' versions of the major 3D packages, and I have to say that Blender can stand up to all of them any day.
And it does it without being hobbled by resolution limitations or watermarks on your images. The only thing that I don't like about it is that it does not seem to have a readily-apparent way to get the conventional 4-view setup that other packages have. Other than that, I really have no complaints. I use it primarily in Linux, and it's very fast. I can run it with ease, while Houdini Apprentice crashes my Linux system and wheezes hard in Vista. I'll keep using Blender there until Lightwave shows up in Linux, and probably even beyond that.
Even if they charged $100 for it, it's still a bargain. Fortunately, they don't. Explanation: NEW SOFTWARE= New tool since your last visit NEW VERSION= New version since your last visit NEW REVIEW= New review since your last visit NEW VERSION= New version Type and download NO MORE UPDATES?
