U DO & AMAZING JOB ON KEEPING US INFORMED THANKS SOOO MUCH CONTINUE THE EXCELLENT WORK

I wish they'd make bake and blur nodes for shader editor. When making procedural displacement maps, those two can be very helpful.

Cool breakdown. I'll have to try it out when I finish my current episode. I Tried opening my current 4.0 work in 4.2 and a bunch of stuff is broken and so I'd rather finish before switching rather than try to fix the problems.

I'd like to have a built-in shadow catcher material for Eevee. Looks like we still have to create the shader for 4.2.

The export collection is amazing for high poly and low poly bakes

[iceseic]

anyone find 4.2 crashes more frequent?

[colourberry]

New Eevee is way too buggy to be released yet. Maybe it works flawlessly with highend graphics card but for most of us its crashing when I never had Blender crashing before.

Hello. I have GTX 1660ti and 10th gen i7. Make sure you have upgraded your nVidia driver to the newest one, or you might encounter bugs. Because I encountered one before I updated.

For some reason, I am the only one with this bug atp, I try to install the addons that were built in and I have an error that is saying that I am missing the index.json file

[HiitsmeSsevasB]

Thanks for the video, new Eevee is cool, but it now takes x6 times render a single frame, i dont know if its not compatible with older scenes... or i dont know how to properly set it up, i hope you can make a comparison or settings video.

[HarryClipzFilmz]

Is this the stable version with the updated version of EEVEE Next?

[dinardeshpande]

Eevee doesn’t work in Scenes on Mac. Along with that, the distance picker in depth of field section is not available for Mac version of Eevee.

[sabatheus]

Is Eevee glow back? Or are we still relegated to a post-production Cycles process?

[ereceeme]

Were do we download the snapdragon arm version ?

[colourberry]

Its crashed on me several times today.

[hemzabomb]

I won’t update first time, I’ll stay on the old version

[adrawdesign]

The best performance blender version in my opinion!! The auto save is kinda slow but BIG Love for Blender ❤❤❤❤

[artfx]

I'm still on 2.79b
Best version ❤

Blender is the future. Version 4.2 is still buggy for me. Blender stops working when switching to eevee. Wrote to technical support. I hope they fix it soon.
