Another DDoS attack by Autodesk coming soon!!

hope to see the day blender becomes a game engine again

So, maybe this is a dumb question, but what is the difference between an extension and an add-on? From the perspective of a neophyte like me, it kinda feels like it's the same thing Blender already had

I dont know if anyone noticed that but with blender 4.2 update the evee render engine has gotten more heavier than cycles render engine. It took 10 seconds to render 20 samples on cycles default and 21 seconds to render on evee default settings. Note my pc spec ryzen 5 7600, 16 gb ddr5 ram, gpu= igpu.

don't bsdf portals have the same effect as render targets?

I've been downloading and installing Blender for years; I was even a backer for 2.8.

Still haven't used it.

Blender is now hitting rendering out.
I wish to see games from armory. Slightly laggy, but good for films 😊

[chryssdale]

Im curious how caustics will work on eevee.

[joseluisvillalva]

So to have my beloved looptools, do I have to click "allow online"? I don't know why, but I liked how it was before, I feel that the addons were more official since they were already in the blender.

i cant wait to download it... refreshing every 10 mins or so. but until now its not up for download.

[arise]

Do the addons in the humble bundle come with future updates? If they don’t have future updates then they will break once the new version of Blender comes out.

@ 3:00 Godot 4.2? You mean Blender 4.2! 😆

[MillisecondFalcon]

Is there a quick way to download all sample scene files in one go, instead of individually?

[sudd]

4 more hours is of this comment date, then it is the 16th, but as we all know it is not at the first hours of 16th, and more like the last hours, so close to 30 more hours:(

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.

[developeralley]

Blender 4.2 EEVEE (EEVEE Next) is annoyingly slow on existing systems. They should have given an option to switch back to EEVEE.

[noimagination]

Does Blender have Pen Tool add-on that works like c4d spline pen tool?

[Ultikynnys]

The Blender bundle will only contain the current version of the addons!!! Since blender gets 1-2 big updates a year, these will break. I don't recommend to buy that pack

[rustyshackleford]

Does anyone know if evee next supports baking?
