Blender 4.4: Product Care and Rapid Loding Time

Free 3D software blender is now available in version 4.4 for Windows, McOS and Linux and available as a source code. This time the main focus was on software quality, which is why there are less new tasks, but a variety of improvements and performance shines that should speed up everyday tasks.

The release was before a quality aggressive in which not only the errors were fixed. Developers have also depicted many areas from blender to more modern technology.

Better user interface

Developers have processed a long list of short problems with user interfaces. The button for the material is now better for the world. When providing an animation directly from the visualport, a charging beam now appears. A mess was fixed in the performance of the frame per second (FPS) frame.

Many menu have re -added developers and, where it makes sense, has given icons. Now you can also play animation in sculpture mode and, while an animation runs, tooltips still work. The lesson in tool tips is now better readable.

The information that appeared in the status bar at the bottom of the screen was adapted for several tools. In addition, the blender now warns when an object has negative scaling, causing problems with some devices.

Video Editing: Impact, text box and color

In the video sequence editor (VSE), the blender videos were directly edited in 3D software. Almost all the effects are now working rapidly. The background box for texts is also presented rapidly several times. The corners can be rounded.

The text tool is particularly popular for subtitles and now concentrates and supports the right -canal representation. In addition, you can edit the text in the new version in the preview window by changing editing mode with tabs.

In addition, in preview windows, any strips can be duplicated with the key shortcut Ctrl+D in the mixture. The operation of VSE is thus getting closer to the remaining areas of the blender. When mimicking and copying strips, the mixtures take into account the mixed effects such as assigned effects.

H.265 exports and with a defined color location

In the future, the orientation of the blender metadata will take into account the flag. High-age videos are no longer visible on the side. When exported, the blender gives color space. Till now, it was not defined, which meant that different video players represented different colors.

H.265/HEVC codec is now available to play. This allows the video to be saved with 10 or 12 bit color depth per channel, which is relevant to the HDR display. The blender also supports high color depth when reading video data.

Musicians: Rapid impact

When moving images are resumed, sleep -comed compositing, blender effects calculate much faster than before. Developers talk about two to ten factor.

If you first reduce an image in compositors in the compositors in the mixed 4.3 and then make it grow again, it pixes, as all changes are destroyed disastrous on the image. This blender is as late as possible in 4.4. In the example, the blender will receive the original pixels of the image. There is a separate node for a desired pixel effect.

Better node for light effect

Atrium is called dazzling in photos and in the video for bright light sources. Blender 4.4 found an update dazzle node in the composer, ie a knot which calculates this effect.

Some new parameters are added to the dazzling node and all settings can now be connected to other nodes. In addition to edited image, only the effect and a representation of the affected image areas can be found on the output. Their maximum brightness can also be banned, which means that a particularly bright light source, such as the Sun, no longer outsources the entire image.

Complex animation with slaughtered functions

In the animation system, the animation can now be summarized through slaughtered functions. An animation, also known as action in blend, may be, for example, a camera trip. Focal length can change when driving to zoom on an object.

So far, the blender is capable of protecting it in only two different tasks. In Blender 4.4, animation can be grouped and added. Especially game engine users such as unrealistic engines ask this function as it is also available there.

The result of innovations is that old files are no longer compatible; The blender automatically converts them. If the file with an older version is opened with a blender 4.4 or newly stored file, only the first action of a group appears there. Further action is rejected while saving the file. so be careful.

New minimum requirements

Intel GPUS users must have at least version of at least 31740.8 at least under 31740.8 to have a minimum driver version of 101,6557 for Blender 4.4. Anyone who uses AMD graphics card is at least requires at least adrenaline 24.6.1 or Radeon per driver under Windows in version 24.Q2, at least under the ROCM version 6.0 Linux.

In turn, AMD is now supporting the RDNA4 architecture of the AMD RX 90×0 series. Hip RT is no longer shown experimentally for retrusting hardware for retrying. In NVIDIA, the support of the RTX 90×0 card is added based on Blackwell architecture.

Update to Optix Denoiser

The update of Optix Denoiser is also relevant to Nvidia users. After rendering a photo with a bicycle render engine, he takes care of removing any available image noise. The new version should provide much better quality.

Graphics Interface Vulcan: Low Loading Time

The blender currently uses Opengl. Quick or later developers want to switch to more modern volcanoes. If you want, you can try volcanic baking. Then some functions such as VR supports are no longer available in VIDEPORT, but Blender 4.4 rewards changes with holiday charging time in large scenes. For vulcan, the installation of current graphics drivers is recommended.
