Blender 4.2 Is Here

Blender, the open-source 3D software, has undergone multiple updates this last year. Now, a new beta version, Blender 4.2, has been released with multiple features that can enhance your workflow even further. What we have seen so far in the latest release of the beta version: some changes in the user interface, optimization in performance when modeling, major improvements concerning the Evee engine, and more that we will uncover in the video.

As a side note - a title like „Blender is here“ reads like it is the final version not the beta

[kugraw]

One of these days, a '4.2 is here' will finally be about it's full release

[Ericaandmac]

It cant be said its here, its not released, it was already beta before

[Lectrixquids]

Makes sense cuz I literally updated to 4.1 yesterday

[DejiDigital]

So eevee next is finally here.
Edit: the bloom feature is now in the compositor... Just like cycles. Thats a big downgrade if you ask me. Hopefully it gets fixed.

Not a single update to the UV editor in years

I swear to god the Blender dev team are almost as bad as Google when it comes to, "if it ain't broke, fuck with it for no reason."

I find it funny that this was released 3 hours ago, and he's examining the Beta. And now, there is the Release Candidate.

I hope this noise problem in the eevee shadows is resolved. looking forward to the final version.

[Ahtisham]

Blender 4.2 is not here yet only beta is and it is here for quite some time. These titles seems so clickbaity

I wish developers would focus more on substantial improvements rather than just tweaking the UI in the last few versions of Blender. The menus are fine as they are. What we really need are updates to Cycles and useful modeling tools, similar to the push and pull features in 3ds Max. Additionally, developers should consider implementing the new ReSTIR path tracing method in Cycles, which is now a key focus for Unreal Engine and NVIDIA. Let's prioritize meaningful enhancements over cosmetic changes.

As shown in your screenshot Bloom has been removed from the Evee render panel but can be enabled by using the Glare post process effect.

the export FBX is my favorite feature, and could we all pls make some noise that they make it possible to select bones with eye dropper? thats so dumb if u wane chose a bone as ur pole target or any other bone constraint funktion etc. u have to know how the bone is called and select in in the properties, why not simply choosing it with eye dropper?
