REBORN
yeah..I heard about that CPU path guiding, making it more efficient/faster, currently not available for the GPU though, but they have plans for it I believe....Aaand another new release! Blender 3.4 is out only 3 months after the last release. With this one we have a whopping 4(!) new Blender releases in 2022! And each one with a really nice range of new and improved features.
To be honest, I have difficulty keeping up with this pace of releases. ;-)
The latest release adds a (my favourite) story boarding tool, CPU path guiding in Cycles for faster CPU rendering with less noise, new sculpt and paint masking tools (automatic cavity masking!), all sorts of new geometry nodes goodness, and...
New UV editing tools! Finally... Some very nice additions there: UV sculpt relax tool, and a whole bunch of UV quality of life improvements.
And a continued focus on performance improvements across the board. Too much to list here.
Full list of new things:
Agains´t all odds, if Lightwave continues with some development, they now have a Dummy guide for that I reckon.
