  • Blender 4.3 Is Out

    The latest version of Blender, the legendary Open Source DCC creation
    suite, has gone stable. New features are covered in <https://developer.blender.org/docs/release_notes/4.3/>.

    If you’re an artistic type, have a look at the new capabilities in the
    Grease Pencil feature <https://developer.blender.org/docs/release_notes/4.3/grease_pencil/>.
    For a techie type like me, I look forward to new additions to the
    Geometry Nodes functionality with every new release <https://developer.blender.org/docs/release_notes/4.3/geometry_nodes/>.

    None of the proprietary apps for 3D, animation, rendering, sculpting, drawing/painting etc offers the breadth of functionality in one
    integrated workflow, and one compact installation, that Blender does.
    And then there’s the Python scripting API, which gives you fully object-oriented programmatic access to all that functionality. Others
    are scrambling to try to catch up to that level of Python support, but
    Blender leads the way.
