great introduction for new people and those who havent already been using it yet :O) well done, 2.80 is pretty awesome, and just going to get better with each new revision, very exciting times.

Great overview! Thanks for putting this together. Very Pro looking video. I look forward to watching your follow-up's on some of the features that are just coming out.

Hey, great compilation of some of the highlighted features of Blender 2.8! Thanks. I didn't know about the scatter objects addon. Neat for games. Really love the Blender graphics package. It's such a versatile tool for anything.

Release Candidate 2 is now available... I'm longing for the final release !

I believe the "weird circle" icon for physics is depicting gravity, for example a satellite orbitting its planet. :)

If you wanna improve any of your EEVEE renders. Make sure to change the sample rate for the viewport/render option to 1000 or more in the rendering property section. Trust me it matters as EEVEE is still running samples, but they're not as visible as cycles rendering sample rates display. Just a little tip for folks playing around with Blender 2.8 oh and nice video bro. 2.8 is no joke!

That object scatter thing is pretty insane imo

I hope they put in Aminall in 2.8 and fix it so you can make editable actions for those animations and fix uv problems with uv keyframes.

Miter, pretty sure it pronounced My-der, right? That aside, I hyped for the new release and thank you for your coverage.

I've got to download this RC. Thanks for this. Btw, new subscriber here.

It “my ter” not mither, it a joinery term, for a type of joint in joinery where two pieces of wood meet at a 45 degree angle, btw you missed out how view layers are implemented now, the two biggest things future Blender 2.8x needs is UDIM support and a Retopology workspace with proper retopology tools.

is it possible to add render engine to blender 2.8
in this case I want to add amd radeon pro render
I've installed it (downloaded from amd website for ver. 2.8 of course)
but it didnt appear in Render engine options

why its called 2.8? so many changes it should be 3.0!

If you know what ambient occlusion is you didn't do a good job of explaining it.
