Linking is the must for me & my coworkers. It works without any technical issues, I would just appreciate if the "Reload library" operator is easier to access - without the need of navigating to Outliner->Blender File-> library right click (I bet most people probably don't even know about such hidden option and keep saving & reopening the whole .blend just to refresh the linked libraries ...).

Hand Goudey for employee of the month!

[SuperComicAnimation]

The AMD news is huge for my 6600xt. Praise. I got it before i ever touched blender so any gains are hype!

[SubsurfaceTalks]

Dang! missed this one live. 3.6 is exciting, but... 4.0 this year ! I'm really hyped now!

[todddickey]

I would buy a full size mouse pad with the Blender logo on it and also with the Blender short films on it.

[abdelkarimkeraressi]

wow nice to see mouse pad and mug. amazing. i will buy 2 mug dark blue and orange one amazing.

[MalmqvistM]

I have used linking and library overrides in production but still find the system a bit confusing and clunky. Have found myself having to redo things and reimport as it wasn’t clear what the override was doing etc

[RomboutVersluijs]

I don't quite understand why shadow lol nking is needed. First shadows would not responding nd to light linking, but why do the need to out into groups as well. That sounds like extra work

[ramanmono]

Yes, only one week later than Intel Arc for hardware cycles ray tracing. Just hope HIP can become unified to properly work on other GPU's as well.

[yadrianguillotmora]

Hasta que Blender no haga que la realidad aumentada sea sencilla de crear, el mundo seguirá en las mismas. Es una necesidad para la humanidad

[wjezzom]

When will the test driver for hiprt be released?

[badimagerybyjohnromine]

please multi thread armatures, so we can have more than one character in a scene on a modern CPU, the performance of rigs make no sense at all to me, cant find a comparable app that handles them this slowly

[skarlok]

How much faster is Blender on Linux? Is it better to use it on Linux instead Windows?

[SarzZars]

Hey i just want to ask the owner of your Company if i can export 3d files to (roblox if i cant its ok)

[RomboutVersluijs]

41:39 when i counted weeks, bcon1 is 9 weeks and 4.0 has 14 bcon1 weeks+ those 2 weeks i guess

[abdelkarimkeraressi]

i already notice render in 3.4.1 faster then 3.5 .

[davidffortesmeireles]

please make smoof tool from weight paint like smoof too from maya

[RayGatsu]

Hola alguien sabe por que blender 3.5 da tantos problemas de payton con los archivos de animaciones fbx? osea exporto animaciones en fbx de unreal da igual el formato fbx " año " que escoja siempre da error de payton ... en cambio con las versiones anteriores no. estoy por desisntalar el 3.5 y instalar la version anterior

[DesignerNetanel]

Please make an update on the fbx format to be more like Maya or unreal engine or cascadur, I don't know let's give those bastards the "industry standard" they thought will never be
