This milestone is the first ever long term support release of this free and <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/open-source\">open source<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/3d\">3D conten<\/a>t creation suite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The long term support <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/blender\">Blender<\/a> release will be supported for two years. This new direction will provide the performance and stability needed for major projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new version comes with an array of over 1250 bugfixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highlights of the Blender 2.83 LTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a bunch of new features that come with this release. Most notably are the inclusion of VR support, OpenVDB import, OptiX viewport denoising and a powerful new physics-enabled Cloth Brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blender now ships with some <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/vr\">VR<\/a> support: scene inspection. This allows users to artists to walk around their scenes in virtual reality directly within Blender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is done with the help of OpenXR, which is an OpenXR is an open, royalty-free standard for access to virtual reality and augmented reality platforms and devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OpenVDB files can now be imported and rendered with the new Volume object generated by Blender&#8217;s fluid simulation cache or even other software such as Houdini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OpenVDB developed by DreamWorks Animation is an open source C++ software library comprising a novel hierarchical data structure and a large suite of tools for the efficient storage and manipulation of sparse volumetric data discretized on three-dimensional grids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those with <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/nvidia\">NVIDIA<\/a> graphics cards, Cycles now supports denoising inside the Blender viewport with NVIDIA OptiX AI-Accelerated Denoiser. This allows artists to preview fast and noise-free renders directly in the viewport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Sculpt Cloth feature artists can sculpt realistic wrinkles which uses the built-in physics solver to automatically create natural-looking folds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also improvements with the Grease Pencil 2D animation toolset which was rewritten from scratch and is much faster and comes with better integration with the rest of Blender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eevee, Blender&#8217;s real-time render engine has improved support for Hair Transparency, Shadow blend modes are now also supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Light Cache Update there are now no more seam artifacts and stretched texels. Compositing <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/eevee\">EEVEE<\/a> renders is now much simpler thanks to individual passes, just like Cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High Quality Normals are now supported and artists can now easily adjust the blur amount of the HDRI background in Material Preview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for Shader Nodes, the Wave Texture node gets new direction modes, a phase offset control and a roughness input. The White Noise Texture, Math and Vector Math nodes have been improved as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just a few of the highlights surrounding the new Blender 2.83 LTS release from a among a lot more including modifiers, video sequence editor, and performance boosts.
