Am highly confident that Blender will be the industry gold standard software in future. The rate and amount of progress is unmatched!!

Ugh, so much great stuff in 3.4, really looking forward to playing with the Sample UV Surface bits! Thanks as always Curtis for rad content! 🤘😎🍩

[larastarslayer]

🍩 awesome job! Saves me from reading the pages and trying to figure out what it all means. And how it can apply to what I’m making . Very useful and informative!!

[bububirb]

I like how you read nearly everything clearly and explain the slightly vague points. Thank you as always! 🍩
Good luck with the breaking changes ;D

[timoluetk]

🍩 thanks for putting so much work in these!

Wonderful video Curtis. Also...thank you for you time addressing my questions regarding Modular workspaces. It's a fantastic product!

[Anyreck]

🍩Blender 3.4 is like having another Christmas. Thanks to the amazingly smart and generous Blender team.

🍩 That viewer node is gonna be such a huge help in learning GeoNodes. It made Shader nodes so understandable for me so now I can dive into new concepts even faster than before.
And the masking features are a really nice addition as well. In the future I'm hoping that Texture Paint will get more love again and I'm looking forward to the animation/rigging changes more than ever!

🍩 I appreciate your content on a deep and intimate level. Using things I've learned from you and other content creators like you, I just landed a job that pays $100k+/yr. I had never even touched 3D prior to February of this year... thank you so much for everything that you do!

[no-one]

Man. I can't wait to see what new features will come in the future! 🍩

[rjwh]

Thanks again! Your “what’s new” videos are better than all of the competition. (🍩🍩 <- I watched it twice.)

[PCaggegi]

🍩 made it! Re: storypencil - it's been removed in the official release as it is still in testing, but it is available in 3.5 Alpha

[riccardogiovanetti]
