[Resources] Blender 2.92 is out - Here are the New Features 🚀
Hey Reader,
Zach here, with another round of useful and inspiring CG and Blender related resources.
Blender 2.92 is out - Here are the new features
The next stable release for Blender is out, version 2.92.
As always there are a ton of new features waiting for you to be explored. Check out the video above for a quick overview or this page for a more in-depth look on all the new goodies.
The biggest new feature are probably the new Geometry Nodes, which are like Shader Nodes just for 3D meshes. But also aside from that there are many smaller improvements to areas like Sculpting, Grease Pencil, Modeling Tools, Rendering, Compositing, Simulations and more.
Impressive Blender Environment Animations
I recently discovered the impressive environment animations by Yota Tasaki, created mainly in Blender. Some of them look like they are straight out of a Final Fantasy game. Check out the video above, with a quick breakdown at the end.
How to make Weather Effects in Blender
In our new video, Martin Klekner shares how to set up a snowfall, sand storm and rainfall particle system, using just one particle base setup in Blender. Very useful if you want to enhance your environment shots.
This free video is part of our new Blender Environments course, in which you'll learn how to create various environments and use compositing to add these weather and other atmospheric effects on top, and fine tune the final render results.
That's it for this week, now enjoy your weekend and stay creative!
