Release of free 3D-modeling system Blender 2.77
Blender – free package for creating three-dimensional computer graphics, which includes tools for modeling, animation, rendering, post processing, as well as the creation of interactive games
A characteristic feature of the package Blender it is its small size. The installed package takes from 30 to 45 MB .
Blender is one of the most popular 3D graphics applications in the world of open source.
After five months of development represented by the release of Blender 2.77
The main innovations:
render Cycles:
Improved subsurface scattering, accelerated work on the GPU
Supports GPU to render the involvement of fire and smoke. and volumetric textures;
adjusts the motion blur, support rolling-Shatter
Custom passages baking
optimized performance of complex shader nodes
Improved default settings
<.... p />
User interface:
completely redesigned layout display process operation;
Support display multi-line text in . Pop-up tooltips, rendering stamps, frames and metadata nodes
The improved anti-aliasing rendering OpenGL;
Simulation:
Decimate Modifier now supports symmetry
new Boolean operations to be used in edit mode. , convenient for quick editing
Improved selection tools:. step faces chess selection next / previous, reflected on several axes
ability to get the default UV-unwrap created for geometric primitive
Small.. improvement: triangulation and convert faces to fans, mesh padding for non-uniform grids, supporting holes tool “intersection” tool “Separating the ribs»
video sequence editor:
tape Modifiers: Modifiers added white balance and tone mapping, and the ability to add modifiers to all selected tapes
Effects:. increased speed Gaussian blur
tapes: If you import a new tape is now used framerate loaded clip. Masks can now be either relative to the tape, and the absolute time for the scene. Support bands with nested scenes and word wrap in a text editor. Preview scene tape using OpenGL is now in compliance with tape transparency mode
Sculpting and Drawing:
Improved tool “Suspension» (Snake Hook), is used to pull the long segments
weight paint mode: Improved automatic normalization and multirisovanie
drawing mode for the peaks of the rotation support final touch
Animation:
Surge: added a new interpolation method based on polar decomposition
Editor graphs: option «cursor X» now permits fractional values when working with drivers, adds the ability to insert a key frame at the cursor position
Exposition sheet:. an improved range of frames for new instances of the editor
Skeletons:. selection now supports selection descendants . direct descendants and relatives
motion paths: paths cleansing function is now applied to all objects / bones button “Update path bones” is now also present in the toolbar
Draft pencil:.
Sculpting strokes
Complete editing in the viewport
. updated eraser pressure sensitivity. The ability to restrict editing
only the active layer ( “layer Isolate»).
Support manipulator transformation.
Improved editing of animation, including copy and paste, and more advanced channel filter.
