What's new in Blender 2.80

Jul 31, 2019

User Interface:
Blender has a revamped user interface, to make it easier to discover and use its many features.
Tools & Gizmos:
The 3D viewport and UV editor have new interactive tools and gizmos, along with a new toolbar.
Eevee:
Eevee is a new physically based realtime renderer. It works both as a renderer for final frames, and as the engine driving Blender's realtime viewport for creating assets.
Viewport:
The 3D viewport was completely rewritten, to optimize it for modern graphics cards and add powerful new features.
Grease Pencil:
A powerful new 2D animation system was added, with a native 2D grease pencil object type, modifier and shader effects.
Cycles:
New volume and hair shaders, bevel and ambient occlusion shaders, along with many other improvements and optimizations.
Collections:
The limited layer system has been replaced by collections, a more powerful way to organize and link objects.
Modeling:
Multiple meshes can now be edited together in edit mode, along with improvements for custom normal editing, bevel and OpenSubdiv.
Animation & Rigging:
Many new constraint, modifier and bendy bone features were added for rigging. There is also new keyframe visualization, and improved NLA editor and easier driver editing.
Import / Export:
The Khronos glTF 2.0 importer and exporter is now bundled with Blender. There are improvements to COLLADA, Alembic and video import and export.
Dependency Graph:
The core modifier and animation evaluation system was rewritten, to improve performance and pave the way for new features.
More Features:
Improved unit system, cloth physics, background images and video editing cache system.
Removed Features:
A number of features that were no longer under active development or did not fit in the new design were removed.
Python API:
Blender 2.80 is an API breaking release. Addons and scripts will need to be updated, both to handle the new features and adapt to changes to make the API more consistent and reliable.
Add-ons:
Most add-ons for 2.79 are available for 2.80 as well. A few new ones were added, and a few were removed.

New in Blender 2.80b (Mar 23, 2019)

New in Blender 2.79 (Sep 12, 2017)

New in Blender 2.76 (Oct 12, 2015)

Cycles Rendering:
New Point Density Texture
Creates voxel texture at shader compilation time, in a way that keeps render time as low as possible, but not totally memory efficient: in the future this will be compensated by using OpenVDB for more efficient storage of sparse volume data.
Improvements for AMD GPUs
stability on Windows / Linux and compatibility with OSX El Capitan
is now possible to use wider variety of different GPUs
Other improvements
Camera zoom motion blur support: initial implementation, will get future improvements
Support for extended and clipped image texture extension (repeat/extend/clip)
User interface:
Viewport:
the ongoing viewport project brought a big performance boost!
this improved both draw performance and memory usage for mesh data in general
improvements may be noticeable on more complex scenes, sculpting and painting
Other improvements:
Node Editor: auto-offset of existing nodes when adding a new one, a real time-saver!
File Browser:
Arrow-key navigation and selection.
Huge rework of internal code, now quicker & lighter.
It’s now possible to get the correct (user edited) shortcuts of modal operators
Modeling:
Two new tools: Flatten faces and edge offset
Data Transfer supports transferring data between equal meshes better
Absolute grid snapping for the 3D view was added
Displace modifier custom normals support
Opensubdiv:
Initial integration of the Pixar OpenSubdiv library
Greatly improves viewport playback performance
GPU tessellation support
Improves edge sharpness
Sequencer:
Added new “Text” effect type, which
displays in the strip the text that will be inserted in the final sequence
includes options about text, size, shadow and position
allows exporting subtitles in .srt format
Freestyle NPR rendering:
Freestyle memory consumption was reduced
Optimized for space and less memory is consumed in the rendering process.
Depending on the scene, actual memory consumption reduction, on average, of 7.2%.
Part of the outcome from project financially supported by the Blender Foundation Developer Fund.
New stroke modifiers were implemented, allowing for a wider variety of user-defined line styles: Noise, Tangent, 3D curvature, Crease angle, Simplification.
Sculpting/Painting:
Weight paint smoothing: replace Blend with Smooth tool, improved behavior:
can smooth # iterations
option to expand/contract weights
optionally mix with all/selected/unselected
Sculpting with tiled strokes.
Adds 3D-Tiling options to the sculpt tool, in a way similar to the symmetry options (replicates the strokes)
Allows to create geometry that can be tiled seamless
Animation:
New Bone Selection Sets add-on
Developed during the gooseberry film (Cosmos Laundromat), has been added to official add-ons for Blender.
Allows storing sets of bones and selecting/unselecting them at a later time.
New Clean Channels Tool
Acts like a Clean Keyframes tool but will also delete the channel if it has only a single keyframe containing the default property value and it’s not being used by any generative f-curve modifiers or drivers.
A few other improvements: F-Curves finder for Python interface, New Disable Modifier toggle, Clearing of Fake User action from the NLA stack, armature dissolve (Delete menu)
Game Engine:
Game Publishing Addon
The addon is now out of beta and benefits of subtle UI changes, moving the platforms “publish” option and assets path chooser inside of their respective lists widgets, some minor changes internally.
Other improvements:
Camera lens shift support to produce architecture-like two vanishing point renders and to match projector offsets.
Angular velocity clamping is now possible, fixed velocity clamping units display
2D Filter now supports integer properties as uniforms
New bge.app python submodule to access application values that remain unchanged during runtime (similar to bpy.app)
Material settings can be edited in python (KX_BlenderMaterial) like: alpha, hardness, emit, specular, diffuse
Add-ons:
FBX import/export:
Added options to: not import custom normals, to not force export keyframe at start/end of action
Added support for relative shape keys based on non-Basis relative shape keys, reworked UI in a tab-like way
Other improvements:
OBJ import/export: added full support for (standard extension) MTL emission of material
UV Addon: Copy/Paste UV updated to version 3.0: new features added: Flip/Rotate UV, Transfer UV
Python API mathutils.bvhtree exposes a BVH-tree data structures, to Python developers
Other: RNA: Object.shape_key_remove method, UI: option to pass “icon_value” to menus
More Features:
Animation/Movie player improvements:
it now supports sound playback for movies
is now possible to pause and start a movie by using Space
an indicator feature was added to display the current position in the played movie
Other improvements:
Sculpting now allows tiling strokes to create repeating patterns while sculpting.
Datablock Previews in .blend Files: added preview to Object, Group and Scene IDs, now also exposes ID previews to RNA.
Multiple Link/Append at Once: is now possible to select and link/append multiple datablocks (of different types and even from different files) in a single operation.

Bug Fixes:
As for every Blender release, hundreds of bugs were fixed, thanks to the hardworking Blender developers.

New in Blender 2.74 RC (Mar 12, 2015)

New in Blender 2.72 RC (Sep 24, 2014)

The Blender Foundation and online developer community is proud to present Blender 2.72. Cycles GPU rendering supports Volume and Subsurface Scattering now. The User Interface comes with optional Pie Menus now and the Tooltips have been improved. For Modeling, a new intersection tool has been added in Edit Mode. Texture painting workflow has been streamlined with easy access to painted images and UV layers. The Compositor now comes with a Sun Beam node. Freestyle NPR rendering is now available with Cycles as well.
Cycles Rendering:
Volume rendering and Subsurface Scattering are available on GPU, Volume and Glossy sampling was improved, new Ashikhmin-Shirley distribution for Glossy and Anisotropic BSDFs, memory usage during rendering was lowered, faster OSL rendering, Anamorphic Bokeh support, and better control over caustics.
User Interface:
The long awaited pie menus are available as an addon for ⇆ Tab, Z, Q, ⇆ Tab⇧ ShiftCtrl, ., CtrlSpace operators. New Tooltip design makes important information more noticeable. Python text is displayed in a monospaced font. Blender Internal preview now behaves like the Cycles preview, it starts rendering at low resolution and improves from there. Improved units parsing, even though devs claim Blender not to feature a units engine it does a better job now.
Modeling:
A new intersection tool was added, to quickly cut up geometry. It's a bit like boolean but not calculating interior/exterior.
The Bevel Tool and the Bevel Modifier now have the option to set the material of the newly created faces to the material in a given slot.
Sculpting/Painting:
Texture painting workflow has been streamlined with easy access to painted images and UV layers, ability to generate strokes with curves and lines has been added, more blend modes are available and new tools to fill and mask have been added.
Compositing:
A new Sun Beams node has been added to the compositor.
Freestyle NPR Rendering:
The Freestyle line rendering engine has been integrated into Cycles in addition to the Blender Internal (BI). Freestyle provides Cycles users with a versatile non-photorealistic (NPR) line rendering solution. Most Freestyle options work in the same way for both Cycles and BI. Line textures in Freestyle for Cycles are defined by means of shader nodes (unlike Freestyle for BI, which relies on the conventional texture mapping and influence panels). New per-material Freestyle line settings provide a reliable mean to specify line colors applicable to both Cycles and the BI. The Freestyle Python API also has user-visible updates for better code readability and run-time performance.
Animation:
More Features:
Color ramps now support color interpolation in hue mode both clock- and counter-clock-wise. CtrlF in animation editors now works as a shortcut for activating the Filter by Name functionality. Weights now draw in wireframe mode in the 3D view. Temporary data gets deleted when closing Blender. The video editor got enhanced by a gaussian blur filter. New camera presets: Blackmagic Pocket Cinema and Blackmagic Production 4K.
Addons:
FBX improvements: Import now supports armatures, shapekeys, animations, with shapekeys also being supported for export.
New DXF importer with support for 3D(SubD) geometry, and geo-referencing. It imports curve types as curves and adds control over various geometry merge options.
New UV addon for align distribution and copy/paste (!!) of UVs.

New in Blender 2.70 (Mar 20, 2014)

Cycles Rendering:
Cycles now has initial support for volume rendering including emission, absorption and scattering. Volume rendering can be used to render effects like fire, smoke, mist, absorption in glass, and many other effects that can't be represented by surface meshes alone.
CPU rendering performance was improved, particularly for hair, textures and Open Shading Language.
Motion Tracker:
Trackers can now be weighted, to keep the result stable as feature disappear or become difficult to track. The plane track workflow was improved to be easier to control. Automatic feature detection was made more robust using a new detector algorithm.
User Interface:
The toolbar now has tabs to organize tools in categories. Multiple buttons can now be edited at once, for example for XYZ axes or color channels. Transform tools now have a mode to enter expressions and units. Other changes were done to improve lists, header menus, tooltips, buttons, menus and more.
Modeling:
The Laplacian Deform modifier was added to pose a mesh while preserving geometric details of the surface, and a new wireframe modifier allows you transform your mesh into a wireframe representation. The boolean modifier now supports ngons, and there are improvements to the bevel, screw and triangulate modifiers.
The bevel tool now offers more control over the bevel profile and results, and the knife tool was improved as well.
Threaded Dependency Graph:
An important change that happened under the hood is the threaded dependency graph. This means that object modifiers and constraints, among other things, can now be computed with multiple threads taking advantage of multicore processors. This will be most noticeable with scenes that have many objects, or multiple objects with heavy modifiers. This is the first step in making the dependency graph in Blender more powerful.
Game Development:
The Blender game engine now supports discrete level of detail for meshes. For game developers, support for working with Photoshop PSD files has been added.
A new view navigation walk mode has been added, which has a control scheme as typically found in first person shooter games. This can be useful for game developers to navigate levels as if in a game.
Freestyle NPR Rendering:
The Freestyle Python API is an essential part that makes it a highly programmable NPR rendering engine. This API has been reorganized.
More Features:
Many small changes and features were done all over Blender. Some notable new feature are normalized display for FCurves, derivative map baking, baking to vertex colors, better visualization of masks and control over mask filling, gravity option for sculpting, negative texture values to support vector displacement and a Lamp Data shading node to create more customized NPR shaders.
Feature Videos:
For a visual demonstration of some of the new features in this release, check out the feature videos created during the development of this release.
Addons:
Several addons have been added and updated, including Node Wrangler (aka Node Efficiency Tools) and a new Sketchfab Exporter addon
Bug Fixes:
In addition to the new features, over 560 bugs that existed in previous releases have been fixed.
