Made By You, Blender 2.80 Officially Released

After four years of development, the Blender 2.80 version was officially released! Blender is an open source, cross-platform, all-round 3D animation software that provides a range of animated short film production solutions from modeling, animation, materials, rendering, to audio processing, and video editing. Blender 2.80, this version update brings a lot of new features, a redesigned user interface, a new physics-based real-time rendering engine Eevee (which can be used as the final rendering output, or as a real-time rendering engine for views) and more.

Blender 2.8, made by you, a brand new start

Blender 2.80 has reworked the user interface to make the interface more concise and consistent, making it easier for users to use tools, joysticks and more. Blender redesigned a new black theme and modern icons to focus on your artistic creation. The icon can also be controlled by the theme to make it easier to visualize the icon under a variety of themes.

The workspace gives you quick access to things like sculpting, texture drawing or motion tracking. Click on the tabs at the top of the window to change the usage, or customize your workspace to make your work more efficient.

The 2.80 version has a more advanced 3D view display capability, and the display mode is more diverse and free. The new Workbench rendering engine makes it easier for you to get the job done.

Real-time rendering engine Eevee

Eevee has many advanced features such as volumetric fog, screen space refraction, subsurface reflections, soft and contact shadows, depth of field, camera motion blur and glow.

Eevee's material nodes are the same as Cycles, so it's easy to render existing scenes. For Cycles users, Eevee can also be used as a live preview.

2D Animation

The 2.80 version greatly enhances 2D rendering capabilities. The new Grease Pencil interface is more friendly to 2D artists, and you can have both 2D and 3D production capabilities to make your creations easier.

Grease Pencil is more than just a drawing tool, it is highly integrated with existing object selection, editing, management and linking tools, and has powerful deformers and brush tools.

Subdivision and micro replacement

Cryptomatte This function saves the inconvenience of setting the object object and the object material ID for the later stage. You only need to check this before rendering, and then select the desired selection in the post-synthesis.
