Holy Smokes

Seems like we have a release row! The 3D editor Blender has released its new alpha version 2.5.0 with an amazing new set of features. The most obvious new feature is the new UI - but as always there are tons of other new things to explore in this release. Expect improvements in those areas:

  • Custom keyboard shortcuts
  • Data access
  • Tool system
  • F-Curves, Actions, NLA
  • Animation Editors
  • Spline IK
  • Smoke Simulation
  • Particles
  • Volume Rendering
  • Ray tracing optimization
  • Other rendering features

actually don't bother with that list and have a closer look already on their homepage - it illustrates the changes, but remeber: it's only an alpha version!
