Thanks to portable installation, new environment variables, custom bundling of extensions, blender 4.2 lts is easier than ever to integrate in studio pipelines. Every blender version ever released is available for download; Blender studio and the blender community put together an asset bundle with a collection of human base meshes ready to use for sculpting, animation, texturing, you name it.
Videos are now rendered in bt.709 color space now, preventing playback inconsistencies from the previously. However, for general use and production, it’s recommended to always use the latest stable release. Experimental builds have the latest features and while there might be cool bug fixes too, they are unstable and can mess up your files.
For that reason blender is free and open source software, forever. Blender 4.4 adds support for rendering videos using the h.265/hevc codec. Blender foundation and the online developers community proudly present blender 4.0! Blender foundation and the online developers community are proud to present blender 3.2.
