The short movie is looking amazing: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9lj-c29dxI">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9lj-c29dxI</a>
Blender for 3D is what Postgres is for databases. It's really an exceptional piece of open source software and totally stands out. There's not many software projects like this.

I recently started doing basic modeling work for my small hobby projects. I'm amazed at how professional and finished Blender is for being an open source project. It feels like I'm using an Adobe product or similar. Big props to the team behind it, you're awesome.
Would really love to see more resources be put into smoothing out the workflow of the video editor.. even just quality of life features such as "always showing waveforms" and auto-snapping clips when you cut would make a drastic difference and make it highly competitive with Premiere because you already have a world class 3D suite built in.
Here's a more user-friendly and beautiful page about 4.0 release: <a href="https://www.blender.org/download/releases/4-0/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.blender.org/download/releases/4-0/</a>
There are Builds that are listed as "Blender 4.0.0 - Stable" in various formats and for all platforms on the Daily Builds page:<p><a href="https://builder.blender.org/download/daily/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://builder.blender.org/download/daily/</a><p>But i don't know whether those are the ones that will go official.
I’m hoping for a built-in resource sharing mechanism. I have a dual 4090 server accessible but right now all I can do is run blender on it. I’d love a way to just transparently use its resources while working on my machine.<p>Seems I’ll have to keep waiting.
A bit tangential, does anyone know of a good resource for learning Blender, suitable for someone who has no real experience with 3D modeling/animation?
Is anyone here that might be a Blender contributor who could offer some insights or some tips on how to achieve the same spark with the Godot community? From the outside, the Blender community iterates very quickly, seem to work well together, and has figured out an approval process for integrating code that just works™.<p>I would love to see a fire like this in Godot
As a noob who's still finding his way around, space to search menus looks great.<p><a href="https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/commit/35d3d52508" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/commit/35d3d525...</a>
I still have the old 2.30 book signed by Ton from the original fundraiser, so glad it all worked out great.<p>May be it's time to finally let go of 2.7 keymap and learn the new one :-\
y'all need to revert some things, the subdivision modifier is fucked with creasing now, it just spikes everything out and it's retarded<p>another thing is the modifier tab, no one wants to click like 2 drop down menus just to apply a single modifier or search then type it in vs just 1 drop down and access to everything, just add a sideways scroll bar to it to add the extra new shit or down and up too this shit is ass<p>so far all the new shit i've seen has been horrible
