While it's not going to displace Nuke or Fusion, for startup and independent animation and VFX studios that isn't a big concern.Ĭycles is already as solid production renderer.
Though the realtime compositor works within the Blender 3D environment, it can load external movie clips, so as it matures it will become quite a competent compositing application. The realtime compositor is an effort to replace the the rendering portion of the existing compositor with a fully GPU accelerated compositing engine using the currently selected viewport renderer, be it Cycles, Eevee, or another rendering plugin like Embree. Speaking of compositing.īlender has a surprisingly powerful compositor already. So in a compositing application, an artist can change the color of the skylight pass without having to go back to re-render the original image, a bit time saver.
For example, the skylight pass, the house recessed lights, and then the sconces. It's now possible to render out a pass from Cycles by group of lights. This sounds like one of the least exciting new features, but for production environments, this is huge. So it should come as no surprise that the 3.x releases have been huge.
One thing the Blender Foundation has become infamous for is its nigh comically conservative version numbering its tagged point releases with overhauls that most commercial companies would cover in a major version update – and in some cases, two or three.
Once the Blender Foundation started receiving massive investments from companies like Epic, Unity, and Bethesda however, the Foundation gained the ability to hire dedicated software developers to work on it, and the result has been a huge increase in the rate of progress.īlender 3.0 has been out for a while, and the Foundation now 3.2 is in general release with 3.3 in beta and 3.4 in alpha – something never seen before from Blender that's indicative of the increasing development pace. user interface and oddball way of working. While Blender has been the darling of the budget 3D animation community for decades due to being open source and therefore financially affordable for anyone and everyone, it's also been hindered by its. With massive investment from the likes of Epic, Unity, and Bethesda, the Blender Foundation is piloting everyone’s favourite open source 3D software into blockbusting new territories.
