Blender 4.0 Release Arrives With Game-Changing Rendering Upgrades
|
||||
======
|
||||
Blender 4.0 release makes it an exciting program for all kinds of
|
||||
graphics professionals and artists.
|
||||
Blender is **a very popular open-source 3D computer graphics suite** that has a vast variety of use cases, ranging from the creation of animated films, all the way to motion graphics, visual effects, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
With a recent announcement, the Blender Foundation revealed the **Blender 4.0 release** , that represents “a major leap for rendering, creating tools, and more to take your Freedom to Create to new heights.”
|
||||
|
||||
So, let's look at what's behind this release.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🆕 Blender 4.0: What's New?
|
||||
|
||||
![][1]
|
||||
|
||||
Being a major release, Blender 4.0 has plenty to offer. However, we will be only taking a look at some of the key highlights:
|
||||
|
||||
* **User Interface Improvements**
|
||||
* **Light and Shadow Linking**
|
||||
* **Revamped Principled BSDF**
|
||||
* **Better Rigging**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
While we mention some details as you read on, here is the official video to sum up the major changes:
|
||||
|
||||
### User Interface Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
The most important user-facing thing on Blender, the interface font, has been changed to “[Inter][3]”. This **move was made in a bid to improve text readability** across the application, irrespective of the display size.
|
||||
|
||||
Then there's the **newly added ability to search** for stuff by pressing the space bar on regular dropdown/context menus, and a tweaked splash screen which now makes it easier to **carry over saved settings** from older Blender installs.
|
||||
|
||||
![][4]
|
||||
|
||||
Even a new “ **Save Incremental** ” option was added to the File menu that saves the current _.blender_ file with a numerically incremented name.
|
||||
|
||||
### Light and Shadow Linking
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
Dubbed by the devs as their most awaited feature, Blender 4.0 features Light and Shadow Linking. With these features, a designer could **set lights to affect specific objects** in a scene, and even **have control over which objects can block light** , acting as shadow blockers.
|
||||
|
||||
For more details on how these work, you can refer to the [official documentation][6].
|
||||
|
||||
### Revamped Principled BSDF
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
Blender's [Principled BSDF][8] system has seen a big revamp with the upgrade, it now features **support for a larger variety of material types and is more efficient**.
|
||||
|
||||
Some highlights of the revamp include:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Coat** , it is placed above all the base layers, including the emission layer, to simulate things like a phone display behind a glass surface.
|
||||
* **Sheen** , it now uses a new microfiber shading model, and acts as the top layer above emission and coat.
|
||||
* Implementation of Multiple scattering GGX **** for more efficient rendering in Cycles, resulting in **less power being used while rendering**.
|
||||
* **Edge tinting for metallic surfaces** , allowing for an artist-friendly way to render complex index of refraction, based on the F82 tint model.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The illustration below should give you a better look at how things are with this revamp of Principled BSDF:

|
||||
|
||||
### Better Rigging
|
||||
|
||||
![][10]
|
||||
|
||||
Blender 4.0 features a dedicated “ **Bone Collections** ” for [Armature][11] Bones, this implementation is carried over from the existing implementation for objects.
|
||||
|
||||
It **replaces both the legacy numbered layers and bone groups feature** , allowing for the Select Grouped operator to select by bone color/collection, setting bone colors on armature bones, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
Even the **pose library sees an update** with the recently introduced asset shelf that makes pose assets available in the 3D viewport.
|
||||
|
||||
### 🛠️ Other Changes and Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
There's more. Some other noteworthy changes include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Support for **Intel HD4000 series GPUs** has been dropped.
|
||||
* A new [blendfile compatibility policy][12] has been implemented.
|
||||
* **Snapping has been improved** , allowing for faster and more precise snaps.
|
||||
* The **minimum required OpenGL version** for Linux and Windows is now 4.3.
|
||||
* **Filmic has been replaced** by AgX view transform for better handling of colors in over-exposed areas.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
