Bforartists 2.7.0
The new geometry node editor arrives, with fixes from Blender 2.91.2.
Blender 2.91.2
Convert rotation mode for animation
Convert keyframes between rotation modes with Ctrl R.
Geometry Nodes for volumes and curves
Rasterize Points, Poisson Solver and Construct Curves.
EEVEE lighting nodes and panoramic cameras
Toon shading and lighting effects, plus equirectangular, fisheye and mirror ball cameras.
Compositor effects stack and Bundle nodes
Effects organised as a stack, with grouped data handling.
Smarter scene strips
Scene strips update their length on their own, and many datablocks drop straight onto the timeline.
OpenTimelineIO
Import and export edits to and from other editing software.
Ripple editing in the Sequencer
Ripple, Shuffle and Overwrite overlap modes (R, S, V), Ripple Trim and Ripple Delete.
Comment node
Annotate node trees, with Markdown formatting.
Custom Outliner sorting
Arrange objects anywhere in the Outliner.
Sidebar Search
Find any property or operator in any editor's sidebar, add-on tabs included.
Easier extensions
Legacy pre-downloaded extensions install and uninstall in fewer clicks, and the Asset Libraries filter has an icon.
Clearer themes
Node highlights stand out more, and curve handle colours are easier to read.
Cleaner menus
Double entries are gone (Import FBX, Link to Scene, Snap, Implicit Conversion). Pose and Weight Paint get Show/Hide submenus, and tool shelves follow the Add menu order.
30+ new node icons
New Geometry Nodes, Shader light nodes and Compositor nodes get icons and tool shelf entries: Comment, XPBD Solver, Construct Curves, Rasterize Points, Grid Solve Poisson, Combine List and the Bundle nodes.
Ripple Delete, lasso select and tidy footers
- Ripple Delete closes the gap when a strip goes.
- Lasso select uses the same hotkeys as the other editors.
- Keyframing tools sit together in the Timeline footers, with matching frame range icons.
Edit scene strips right in the Dopesheet
Scene strips get gizmos in the Dopesheet: drag their edges to change the frame range, without opening the Sequencer.
Roll the view from the navigation gizmo
Drag left or right on the navigation gizmo to roll the view. An angle readout follows the drag, so a tilt is easy to undo.
Roll buttons and a hotkey sit in the 3D View sidebar too.
Hello Friends,
There is a new Blender version available. And so there is also a new version from us.
Bforartists 2.7.0 brings the fixes from Blender 2.91.2. It also brings quite a few new features from Blender 2.92 alpha. Like the new geometry node editor. Bforartists 2.7.0 is already based at Blender 2.93 Alpha.
In Bforartists we have fixed the usual things like aligning ui content left, and adding new icons to the new tools. The new geometry nodes can already be inserted from the sidebar instead of the add menu. Most of the nodes have an icon now in the header, which makes it easier to distinguish them in the node viewport. We did quite a few changes at the layout, like in the transform panel. Now you can animate from there, no need to dive into the properties editor anymore. Quite a few panels written in C code have now left aligned content. The adjust last operation panel for example. The align view buttons addon up right is extended. Some editors have now the options as a dropdown panel up right. And we did lots of smaller refinements, changes, improvements and fixes. All in all we have fixed 124 issues in this release.
Many thanks to the team and everybody involved. Have fun with the new version - Reiner
