Blender

The open-source 3D creation suite Blender recently launched Blender 4.1, its most recent version, on March 26th, 2024. Numerous enhancements and new features have been included in this edition, which aims to improve user experience and expedite the 3D development process. Now let's explore the main updates.

GPU-Accelerated Denoising

OpenImageDenoise, which uses GPU acceleration, is one of the most interesting additions. This feature makes image denoising faster and more effective, which is essential for producing realistic, high-quality renderings. Users with compatible hardware should see a significant performance increase in rendering with this update.

Cycles Rendering

Blender 4.1 brings a 5% speed increase to Linux Cycles rendering. With this enhancement, rendering times will be shortened for designers and artists, enabling more rapid iterations and project completion.

Compositor Nodes

All Compositor nodes—aside from Render Layer passes—now operate in the Viewport. With this version, users now have more control and flexibility over their compositions, which makes it simpler to give their projects the desired look and feel.

In the realm of animation, Bone Collections are now hierarchical, providing animators with more organization and control over their rigs. This update will make managing complex character rigs much easier.

Animation Keying Workflow

A new animation keying workflow is introduced in Blender 4.1 with the aim of improving animation efficiency and user-friendliness. Animators will have more tools to bring their works to life with these and other updates to the Graph Editor and NLA, such as baking channels.

Video Sequencer

The Video Sequencer has received a significant speed boost, making drawing, rendering, effects, and scopes much faster. This will greatly improve the efficiency of video editing within Blender.

USD Export

Blender 4.1 now allows shape keys and armatures to be exported in USD as blend shapes and skeletons. Artists will find it simpler to incorporate their Blender works into other USD-compatible programs as a result.
