Taking a look at Blender 2 8

Today we will be taking a look at Blender 2.8. (Download 2.8 Beta - link below).

With the new version getting closer, I wanted to check it out and try out the Beta.

In this video, I talk about 2.8, change some settings, look at the start-up presets and we will look at an example Eevee Scene "The Tower" (created by Dominik Graf).

As I mention at the start of the video, there is nothing instructional in the video. Only my thoughts and opinions. I will link to some 2.8 Tutorials which I like and think may help you with your 2.8 journey.

For full details you can check out the Official Release Notes (link below).

I hope you guys enjoy this video and as always, thanks for watching!.

User Preferences can now be found under the Edit menu rollout. They moved it from the File menu to the Edit menu, which makes a lot more sense. Of course, you can also access it as a window as you have shown in your video.

Presuming by your accent that you're a Brit, I was surprised to hear you pronounce "beta" as Bay-tuh instead Bee-tuh.

As an American I always thought the "bee-tah" pronunciation odd. So neat.

Skip this video? What are you talking about? At this point I need a summary of Blender 2.8 from someone who knows what they're talking about. So, no skipping.

I maybe wrong here, I don't think pointiness works in Eevee. I can't get anywhere near the same results with it compared to cycles, I honestly think it doesn't work but maybe I am missing something?

The splash screen has a 2.79 hot key preset....
