Damn Blender is too clean, its incredible that is free and open source, what a great team they have

[PopStrikers]

Blender continues to be the gold standard of modern creative software. Pure focus on making a better product. Love to see it in a market that is increasingly exploitative. Thank you to everyone who made this version possible!

11:11 When I tell people about why blender is so different as a piece of software, this is usually one of the first thing I bring up. There is so much professional-level creative software now that never gives any thought to optimization. It's not sexy or exciting, and the high-level giant studios can always afford to put some more money into hardware when things start slowing down. Blender bothering to prioritize optimization with new versions keeps the software better accessible to smaller studios, home contractors and just straight-up hobbyists who are running on less-powerful hardware. Just thinking of all the people who are able to start their careers in their bedrooms or kitchen tables on little potato-computers or people who get to start making things because they like making them is what makes me go from describing Blender as something cool and useful to something that's capital-I Important.

Great video, great software, thanks to everyone for all their hard work. It changed my life, and I know I'm not the only one.

Blender's biggest super power is the teams constant and unrelenting improvements and innovation. Blender is rarely stagnant. I love seeing these improvements and upgrades. So exciting!

[ernstryan]

That matrix joke was great, made me LOL.

[Artist.Verse]

Very excited for _Compositor and VSE_ update. Glad it's still getting attention

[Max_Moura]

Wow, Blender 4.2 is packed with features! I especially loved the new Geometry Nodes additions, like the Realize Instances node and the matrix nodes. It's amazing how Blender is constantly evolving and becoming more powerful. I'm excited to see what the future holds for Geometry Nodes, and I'm sure we'll see some incredible creations using these new tools. Thanks for the detailed overview, Jonathan and Harry! Keep up the great work!

What a great time to be a 3D artist and and a Blender user. This feels like a birthday! :D

[ArcangelZero]

Y'know when Blender gets a huge update like this, I watch videos like these and think "How the heck am I gonna remember this though?"
But this time, a BUNCH of stuff just feels so intuitive that you'll either pleasantly notice it, or it'll feel like it's always been there. That's exciting!
The add-on updating tool seems absolutely incredible though. That was one of my biggest frustrations with add-ons! This update is AWESOME.

[Piipolinoo]

That geometry nodes presentation was something different. I can't even. Makes me believe in humankind again. Blender stands for everything we need more of in the software universe. Thank you to everybody involved for your amazing efforts.

"Allow online access is disabled by default" Looking at you, Adobe, Microsoft and all the others !!!

[timothycook]

Brain was like, " Hey, is that the guy from Kurzgesagt?" 😁 Great update by the way!

[Dude_Blender]

Brooo just tried the GPU Compositor!!! I dreaded using it because it was glacially, continentall drifty slow, but this is a massive update!!

[Houdini_Bob]

@9:19 getting crooked sockets into alignment and letting you know is dope

[MrBrax]

I made an audible gasp at some of these new features and I'm just a few minutes in
