Blender 2.42 Has Been Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the makes-good-juice dept.

bartv writes "Blender 2.42 has been released. It features an impressive list of new features for professional users. The most important improvements are: a new render pipeline, node editors for compositing and materials, support for anisotropic materials, improved fluid simulation and new character animation tools. Most of these features are the result of the production of Elephants Dream, the first Open Movie. During this project, Blender's lead developer Ton Roosendaal was coding the features that were required by the artists to produce their movie."

    That is now, by far, my favorite word.

    Oh, the posibilities...
    "Oh, don't play 'open-sourcier than thou' with me!"
    or
    "Debian GNU/Linux: It's the open-sourciest!"
    oh oh, or
    "RedHat: Proving open-sourciness pays!"
