Hi everyone! Let me know what you think about the new version of Blender in the comments below! :)

[FeRReTNS]

being able to put collections in assets is so awesome.

[celestepalm]

Love the new additions to this Blender 3.2 release. Beware of getting too crazy with the Blur guys, it's one of the main faux pas I see in movies today - using blur FX as a crutch.

Whoa, using collections in asset browser sounds amazing, its going to be very, very handy and save a lot of time!

First -- I do enjoy your videos overall. I like your style and your content and really look forward to your new uploads. This video, however, I didn't really care for -- as it was just you going over a web page I (and many, I suspect) have already seen and read. I would have been happier having waited another week for you to show us YOUR real world samples using Blender 3.2 than watching you scroll along a public web page reading what we can read in a quarter of the time. Please don't let this discourage you -- it's just my opinion... and I still love all your other content... so rack this up to a minor gripe by an otherwise quiet fan.

Hi, Your tutorials are always great, good work.
But please tell me which CPU and Mainboard do you use?
Because I have a lot of trouble with the use of Blender, many things do not work and all works very slowly.
I use the AMG Ryzen9 3900X on mainboard MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge.
Thanks for your help.

so paint feature is way overdue for a feature to come to Blender 3.2. Also this feature reminds of polypaint in ZBrush. I am heavenly excited for that feature. 🎉 Vertex painting I will miss you but, hello color attributes!

and shadow caustics is also overdue too. thank goodness its finally there.

what type of Computer specs is best suited for maximum performance without frame lag

[humansrants]

Did Array change I cannot get that to work

[okirothedead]

does the new blender version support AMD cards? because blender 3.1 only support some of the AMD cards and rx570 is not included among them which basically makes my render time longer.

[MorrisseysMonkey]

I shall call the fire brigade before I render something..

[md_arts]

very nice I will also do it in my channel

[somasekhar]
