Blender 2.44

A pretty low key release for Blender to version 2.44. Lovely splash screen by Andy though, very smart. Aimed really as a bug-fix update for 2.43 and the new Blender book (Essential Blender) this version will carry us through Sigraph 2007 and for the rest of the year. It's now 64 bit safe for future processors and Operating Systems and the welcome addition of Sub-Surface Scattering materials is the most notable new feature. The next scheduled release is believed to be version 2.50 which will see the much anticipated UI refactor.

I've been using Blender a lot recently to import motion capture .bvh files for adding to a human character model for use in a game engine. More on that in later posts.

  • Hi. A few months ago you helped me out with a problem I had exporting a .X file, and you mentioned that you were working on some tutorials. Have you made any progress with them?

  • Still working on them but real life has got in the way of meaningful progress at the moment.
