Blender 3.0 - Every New Feature in 6 minutes 

I like the narrator.

This is amazing! Every release I am blown away - thank you blender devs!

I love the, "We're one step closer to using Blender inside of Blender!"

Thank you, Blender. I started out as a lowly video editor who only started blender when I got the curious idea of making my company's logo in 3d to import into a short video. After that success, I kept going. Now I'm making a 3d Christmas video with toy cars chasing each other in a living room (one of them I painstakingly modelled as our company car). My boss has been excitedly freaking out over what I've been learning by myself, and that makes me feel so accomplished :) thank you for this amazing update and your continued efforts to inspire people like me!

I still can't believe that this is free

I love that Blender updates always make it faster instead of slower!

Very exciting stuff, can't wait to build tools for it! :)

As someone who used Blender for Minecraft Intros 6 years ago, I can confirm I don't know what I'm looking at 😂

6:06 Wow! Those UVs are better! You can hardly tell its only a preview! Seriously though, amazing update!

Look how much they're adding to a free software, how good it is, and what an amazing community blender has. I'm so glad to use blender, even though it's mostly for fun, it's amazing. Thank you devs.

Finally! some great tools for animators!!! Thrilled about this :)

Can no longer make jokes like "Those 5 dislikes are from autodesk" on youtube

Woow, with all the new stuff my donut is going to look amazing.

I love it. Blender just has the best online community I have ever seen, and an incredible team of highly talented people behind it. Good job, guys!

6:07 you seem to have forgotten something. Update seems absolutely amazing though, thank you guys for being one of the great groups to make super capable and professional software that doesn't kill the amatuer's wallet. We owe you

As a 20 year Maya vet in the sports graphics industry, I’m constantly blown away with how quickly the Devs update Blender with small, impactful updates and not hugely bloated “technological” roll-outs. The Swiss Army knives of 3D software for sure. Might not replace Houdini (yet), but definitely a solid Cinema4d competitor. And my new flavor of the month! I love it.

man ... when ever I get comfortable with a blender build ... they put out a new one ... and god damn it it's always an awesome one

Great update. I was tasked with evaluating blender 2.8 to potentially replace C4D at my studio a few months ago. While it has tons of features that would make life a million times easier, I found the lack of a take system to be hard to live with. The main issue I had was with large scenes though, while C4D can handle very heavy scenes that are gigabytes in size with (relative) ease, blender doesn't seem to like that at all. Anything above 500mb would be slow and cause crashes upon loading and saving. If there's any area I could suggest for further improvement, it would be the overall handling of larger scenes. Again though, great job!

I downloaded it two days ago with nothing to do with 3d in the past and I was expecting some easy free small program with few features. Never was i so wrong. I am greatful for your work, tutorials and the materials you are sharing! It is purely amazing

Material Preview at 6:06 - Image for 'After' is missing.

DEVS ARE AMAZING THANK YOU GUYS JUST TESTED BLENDER 3 AND MY VIEWPORT IS SO MUCH QUICKER AND I DONT NEED TO LIE DOWN TO WAIT ANYMORE WHEN RENDERING MY WORK

I know Blender isn't top of the field for sculpting, but tilt support for tablets is a gamechanging update coming in 3.0 and deserved a mention in my opinion.

That pose library= omfg thank you!!!!! This saves me so much time and keeps the characters "on-model."

I haven't used Blender all that much, but I'd still like to thank the designers and developers of Blender for their hard work in creating a very powerful and free tool for 3D designers. I'm sure you've helped many people get into 3D design who otherwise would never have been able to live their passions, due to the incredible costs of other 3D design options, and enter into the field of 3D design. So, on behalf of them, thank you very much.

Blender developers are heroes. Thank you very much!

wow great! thumbs up to blender team and foundation and community

I probably only comprehended a couple of frames of this video, but that doesn't stop me from being super excited for the future of open-source software! Blender is a living testament of what a community can create, I love it

Blender you are the best and becoming a more powerful 3D software,and also thank you so much Sir Ton Roosendaal !!!

Fantastic new update. I'm starting to find it overwhelming keeping up with all the new features 😀

The pose library reminds me of when I worked with 2d animation in ADobe Flash/ANimate where symbols could be organized for specific parts of a rig (not always for tweens, 2d animation puppets I've seen in other animations would have either ready drawn poses of limbs or parts of that face be it the mouth smiling, frowning, open, closed and stuff. Depending on style you're going for and how you approach it) Being able to organize parts in 3d as well will be a lifesaver

Man, that pose library might get me back into animating... Awesome video, man!

I'm barely scraping the basics and I'm already excited to learn all these new tools!

I was trying to download the beta a few hours ago and the website wouldn't let me, got frustrated but returned a couple hours later and the website was updated with this great news. Some great features in this release, gonna take some time to digest everything

Great news! always thankful with you Blender Foundation for giving us these wonderful tools for 3D production projects.

In order to celebrate the 3.0 update, I'll be 3 months trying to understand everything you said in this video. It is too many new features. Incredible feat for Blender, congratulations to the developers

Love the Material Preview Update you showed in the video.

Blender 3.0 is looking amazing. I can't wait till it comes out. I tried back in 2012 and it was really hard for me. I've been using it a lot lately and this just looks amazing.

The asset management function is really a time saver, so exited to try it out! Thank you blender~

Just tested VR, it's really good to have a sense of scale and seeing details you normally don't pay too much attention. Really easy to setup too.

Great work guys, this release looks amazing.

Blender is LITERALLY the best software ever made! Thank you Blender team so much for the update, I can't wait to jump into it 🧡

Madness, well done guys, seriously well done, never been excited about a software update before

wow, doesnt seem easier than ever to become a cg artist. amazing work, blender team!

6:08 Yep, that's much better! (Shows black previews after) Amazing update as usual!

Amazing update, cant wait. But: Any news on caustics. Possible in 3.0 with Cycles-X?

Just installed Blender 3.0, and i am thoroughly impressed. Will keep me busy for weeks.

Really exited about the library, such a time saver really.

What I always loved about blender is that it's always been extremely multifaceted, to the point that it doesn't even look like the same program depending on an individuals workflow and expertise. Though... There is something a tad terrifying about it, you can go years using this program and still never touch 80% of it's features, so many ways to do the same thing and you may never discover the truly best way to do that particular thing. Sometimes I just spend hours exploring menus in Blender, delving into the deepest corners and sometimes discovering some long forgotten feature that makes my life easier in some major or minor way for very specific situations I've encountered before, or it"s a feature that seems like a dead end, whether it is an unfinished implementation or something old and unmaintained that broke at some point. I'll die long before I can make sense of the entirety of Blender, and maybe that's a good thing.

Did you guys forget to add the "After" image to the Updated Material Preview UVs in the UI Updates?

I officially live under a rock, BLENDER 3.0 IS OUT ALREADY?! 😂 SO EXCITING! Everything looks great ☺️👍 (Asset browser is finally here 😭!)

Okay the new libraries for poses and materials is going to be huge in helping improve my workflow. Also I was just starting to learn how to use Blender for rigging, animation, and Python so seeing these features getting more love is really cool to see. Keep up the amazing work guys! I love your software

Hahaha "The Python API has a bunch of updates,.. I'm too dumb to explain..." - made my day. Thanks so so much for this incredible Software!!!

downloading OW models now 😈

This wa…, um, runthrough is literally breathtaking :) Blender has become a masterpiece of human intelligence; standing ovations for all involved!

oh boy, I can't wait to see what sort of material some enterprising and artistic individuals are able to create with the new updates!

That fact that you get this for free and it's open source makes me want to donate monthly

Blender is great... my one of the most fav. Software

Woooh!

I remember watching the film… pretty good, nice touch with the zombie mushrooms thingy

Thank you for making Blender such a cool software. I am so excited to work with everything.

Blender coming through with a major update as I'm starting to get into Rigging and Animation, these are the moments that make me feel lucky. :)

Grease pencil got so good updates 😍

Ohhh great news guys, much love from Colombia

THESE are the kinds of people that help humanity evolve, that allow others to realise their potential and then themselves, innovate. The likes of all the corporations have taken away the ability to modify and repair physical products and software, whereas in the past, these things would come with manuals and ACTIVELY encourage people to experiment (so long ago, now), which gave way to the next innovations which is mostly why technology has advanced to this stage so quickly in the first place- the people at Blender themselves are very likely another result of this and continue this lineage of innovation and evolution. Kudos to all.

"There are about 100 new nodes" well I thought I wanted to learn geometry nodes now I'll rethink that

Wow, Asset Library seems like exactly what I need at my current skill level. Ive been struggling with saving Objects in a way that I can import them (correctly) into other .blends

Your tutorials are appreciated. You explain everytNice tutorialng so simply and show the fundantals of producing. Many people and myself thank

Thank you for this update!

🔴 I planned on downloading the new Blender soon as I seen it came out without watching this video!!! its hard to believe Blender is free since it is so powerful !!!

i like your funny words magic man

Bro i think the library feature is what 99% of people who start using blender, imagine it to look like. Just have assets, drop them in, create your scene, done. My mind was kinda blown. I love your software, learning it has been the only thing keeping me interested in life for these past months and i thank you with every part of my soul, for supplying me/us with this great piece of software.

You guys have outdone yourselves again

i’d be cool with every blender update, they release a new character with an even better rig than the last

just missing a very important feature that every 3d package has ****drag and drop fbx obj..etc. and drop multiple images at once

finally 3.0 is here! i'm so excited

I cannot thank you enough for making such an incredible software, and that it is free. Thank you so much!!!

aight they literally added the only thing maya had as a lead, good job.

Thank you for the AMD support!!!!! on Linux yessssssss

I just got blender today, I have no experience in 3d Modeling/ any animation but I’m exited to learn!

Waaaait, Southern Shotty appearing on the Blender official?! I didn't even realize which channel it was. Siiick!

A moment of silence as Blender crushes it's competitors to their demise.

I have deliberately abstained from taking any deeper look into the Blender 3.0 Alpha and Beta versions, as I was very happy with the way 2.93 ran, and I didn't want to go through all the changes that happened during the development process. But this... and the peeks I took at my newly downloaded 3.0... and the few tests I ran in this limited time... ... I'M IN LOVE! WILL YOU MARRY ME?

Thank you! I cannot explain my love for blender foundation

Great news, thank you Blender Foundation!

Blender still seems to difficult to use from an outsider looking in, seems very unintuitive. But it seems like making the process easier is the priority for the devs. That sculpting feature i saw was the best thing ever for 3d creators i imagine, makes things very easy to do and understand. Still seems like you would need years of full time education to use this however. Hard to even know where you start, and id imagine even animations that are seconds long would take months to finish.

This is such an amazing update, well obviously cause it's going from 2 to 3, can't wait to try out the new nodes, also i am hoping to see a performance increase cause i get 0.2 fps on my current project which is 3gb

OH MAN, I've been waiting for this for so long I'm so excited!!

DO YOU KNOW HOW USEFUL ALL OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AND WILL BE FOR ME??? I CANT EVEN KEEP UP!

Soon Blender will literally OVERTAKE every other so called "Industry-standard" softwares :)

I as a beginner who barely knows what Rig is : - *ah yes great feature, yes of course, amazing*

Yayyyyy, more animation updates!

This new features video breakdown was amazing

the new asset browser looks really cool! I wish Unreal Engine would have something that good.

I have used Maya in the past and thought to try out Blender. After some minutes I was pretty surprised, how bad the workflow in Blender is. The most important access to functions like Edit-Mode, Object-Mode and so on, cannot be accessed throught right-mouse-button click. Even if I am in Edit-Mode, there is no access to different sub-categories like edge, vertex and polygon through right-mouse-button click. Good workflow is to have less mouse-movement and there you have to intelligently structure the software. There is not even different pop-up throught right-mouse-button with shift, control. And also not, if you click on object and outside of the object. The buttons are available and not used, so wasting it. Even Edge-Loop is not availabe, if i click the right-mouse-button, if i am in edge-edit-mode. This are the most fundamental and important things. I think, i will go back to Maya ... thats absolutely strange, how this fundamental stuff is not optimized in Blender. And this are the things, with I already recognize under 1 hour working with Blender. I think I stop here, cause there would come many more unoptimized stuff. This are easy things, which just need a good conecptional mind to recognize it.

we love every upgrade you made

Shadow Catcher is really improved thanks ! What we're missing, is a way to use Filmic for the scene, and sRGB for backdrop .

As a game artist I am unfortunately almost as limited with 2.9 & 3.0 as with 2.79, so I would prefer fixing & improving the core features and performance instead of keeping adding new niché features. For example the UV Editor - absolutely core feature of any 3D tool, is still almost identical to historical 2.79. It is also still nearly impossible to edit any larger meshes, weight / vertex paint (also very basic feature) is even slower than in 2.79, and I could continue ... Also a lot of new features are not polished enough to make it into final release in my opinion - like Geometry Nodes which can't handle UV maps and other mesh data (v. groups, vcols, ...). I love using Blender, don't get me wrong, but I am not a fan of how the development is currently prioritized.

5:09 I never, ever realized that the classroom demo contain some really good trans positive stuff, and I'm very happy to see that it has been around for a while now :)

I'm so excited to see rigging and animation updates in Blender 3.0! Great video

Stunning how fast you develop this - thanks!
