Release Notes

CYCLES RENDERING:

Deformation Motion Blur
Fire and Smoke Rendering
Baking API
Volume Rendering
Optimizations
Branched Path
Nodes
CUDA

USER INTERFACE:

OpenGL Render options are now available inside the Info Editor -> Render menu, among the OpenGL Render / Animation operators. This is consistent for Blender Internal and Cycles now, before these settings were in different panels.
Dragging popups by their title area is now possible.
Mat/tex/etc. preview widgets are now resizable.

ANIMATION:

F-Curves
Drivers
Armatures
Constraints
Transform Constraint - Backward Compatibility Issue
Dope Sheet Editor
Graph Editor

Animation Editors:

Decouple auto-snapping behavior from time display type
Jumping between key-frames only considers selected data by default
2D Views: Lock Time to Other Windows option restored

NLA Editor:

UI Changes
Tools

Equations:

The New Interpolation Types
Easing

MODELLING:

Selection:

Loop-select on edge boundaries now extends to select all boundaries if the current boundary is already selected 276ef3b3b5192aad5c3e5e02c69246
Switching modes can optionally contract selection (Holding Ctrl while switching from Face -> Edge, Edge -> Vertex)

Tools:

Set edges smooth/sharp is now in the Shading panel of 3DView tools, together with already existing smooth/flat faces, and new smooth/sharp vertices (which simply tag vertices’ edges as smooth/sharp).

Split Normals, Stage I:

Blender can now use “split normals” (i.e. normals per vertex per face) to draw smooth/sharp edges/faces in the 3DView, and both Cycles and BI renderers. In Edit mode, it also can draw split normals as lines, just like usual vertex or face ones.

SCULPTING/PAINTING:

HSL Color Wheel:

Support for HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) based color wheel.

Sculpting:

Support for constant detail in dyntopo sculpting.

Working with constant detail:

Constant detail is a tool to help maintain the same level of detail across the mesh. Dyntopo allows flexibility in how detail is handled during sculpting, so setting the mode to constant will not immediately convert the whole mesh to the detail value displayed in the topology panel. However, further strokes will utilize that setting while in constant detail mode.

GAME DEVELOPMENT:

Blender Game Engine:

Deactivating Logic Bricks
Multi-Threaded Animations
Skinning Profile Time Moved
Cast Only Material Option

FREESTYLE NPR RENDERING:

New feature #1: Textured strokes:

Using textures through the Freestyle GUI
Using textures in Python scripting

New feature #2: Sorting:

Sort options

MORE FEATURES:

3D Text:

Text-boxes can now be selected in editmode

Curves bevel factor mapping:

Bevel Factor Mapping allows to control the relation between bevel factors (number between 0 and 1) and the rendered start and end point of a beveled spline.

ADDONS:

Python API:

Sequencer.elements.push renamed to append

Release Notes

The Blender Foundation and online developer community is proud to present Blender 2.71. Much awaited new features for Cycles renderer include deformation motion blur, fire/smoke and volume rendering and a baking API. User interface now allows for draggable popups and resizable preview widgets. Animation has new interpolation types with “easing equations” presets. Modeling now allows to “split normals” and Sculpting/Painting has new HSL color wheel and constant detail in dyntopo. Game development now allows deactivating logic bricks, multi-threaded animations, cast only materials and “unlimited” action layers. Freestyle NPR rendering has a new textured strokes feature, along with line sorting options.

Cycles Rendering:

Cycles now includes support for rendering volume textures, fire and smoke, deformation motion blur, baking textures from cycles materials, more texture interpolation modes and a dedicated UV layer node.

Animation:

More easing equations added to the IPO editor for better animation control, locking time to other windows is again possible, auto snapping is now independent from display type.
The user interface now offers more feedback, especially on errors, updates driver expressions automatically on editing, includes more icons and offers more editing tools.
New tools also include lasso selection support, non-linked duplication for strips, and setting preview range based on selected strips.

Modelling:

The new per-face normals feature allows blender to display and export sharp edges correctly without geometry duplication.
In addition, selection tools offer more options.

Sculpting/Painting:

New features include a HSL color wheel for color selection and tools to handle homogenous density in dynamic topology sculpting.
Dyntopo and matcap display for sculpt mode have also had performance optimizations.

Game Engine:

UI to deactivate logic bricks, multi-threaded animations, shadows-only materials and more action layers are among the new features for the game engine

Freestyle NPR Rendering:

Freestyle has been upgraded with textured stroke support. Textured stroke support makes it possible to apply patterns to the lines and simulate rough surfaces or different kinds of brush tips for the strokes themselves.
Line sorting also gives artists more control over the order of line drawing

User Interface:

Interface features include new icons for texture painting, resizeable preview widgets and draggable popups.

More Features:

More control for curve bevelling, explicit shadow cast control for blender internal materials, new distortion model for motion tracking and better handles for mask editors.

Changelog

CYCLES RENDERING:
Optimization:
Optimization for Mix RGB shaders (Mix blending mode), when the factor is 0.0 or 1.0. This reduces memory usage and improves performance a bit. Optimize math node without links to a single value node.
Volume Rendering:
Added camera in volume support.
Faster rendering of homogeneous volumes, when using decoupled ray marching.
Shading:
Better area lamp sampling using an area preserving parameterization paper. This makes an area light sample a bit slower but this is usually more than compensated by the reduction in noise.
Support for cubic voxels interpolation. This setting is per shader, and can be found below the volume sampling method menu, inside the Properties Editor.
A new "Max Bounces" option was added for lamps, which can be used to control how many light bounces the lamp will influence.
GPU Rendering:
Geforce 9xx GPUs are now supported.
USER INTERFACE:
Editor Fullscreen:
A new fullscreen mode for the editors allow the users to work in a clean environment with no UI elements. To exit this mode all it needs is to move the mouse to the top right corner of the editor to reveal the return icon. A shortcut to toggle the Header bar visibility is also available.
Input Method Editor Support:
Input Method Editors (IMEs) are widely used in east Asia to make it possible to input complex characters with latin keyboards. We now support such input for text buttons on Windows. The following IMEs are supported on Windows 7 and Windows 8:
Sougou PINYIN (Chinese)
Bing PINYIN (Chinese)
QQ PINYIN (Chinese)
Microsoft integrated (Japanese)
Pie Menus:
A new confirm threshold in the user preferences allow users to confirm a pie menu without releasing the pie menu key in drag style interaction mode. Once the mouse stops, and after its distance is greater than the release threshold, the current selection of the pie menu is activated. This allows users to drag select through chains of pie menus quickly.
Support for nested pie menus is also included. It is possible to spawn nested pies with the event system responding better.
Small improvements:
Render slots can now be renamed via the properties panel.
UI Emboss option is now themable, allowing for more variation in theme styles (such as flat and dark themes).
Expanded Enums (as set of toggles) can now be Shift-dragged like sets of regular toggles.
MODELING:
Selection:
Select similar regions
Select more/less can now step over adjacent faces. This keeps a square shaped selection when using grid topology.
Tools:
Shrink/Fatten now uses face-normals when used in face-mode
Knife-tool now allows to freehand draw cuts when holding down the left mouse button.
Knife-tool can close the cut-loop by double clicking.
Smooth tool: Hard min/max values of smooth factor are now a bit more permissive, allowing user to set extreme unrealistic ones (soft values remain in safe, normal range).
Data Handling:
Shapekeys reordering (Move up/down) has been rewritten, only change visible from user is new options to move on top/bottom of the list
Modifiers:
BevelWeight support for vertices in Bevel modifier
SCULPTING/PAINTING:
The operator now does a simple cube unwrap followed by a pack operation resulting in better quick UV layouts that won't hang on greater poly counts and will use the image space better. It's still recommended to make a custom unwrap
Usability improvements:
Radial operators (F, ShiftF, CtrlF, ShiftD) can now be edited by typing numbers on keyboard
Paint mask selection now only shows selection boundary (so you can better see what you are painting)
SEQUENCER:
Backdrop:
Sequencer now has a backdrop like the node editor. To enable, check the option on the header menu
Snapping:
holding ctrl while G transforming now snaps selected strips to start and endpoints of other strips. The position of the mouse relative to the selection influences where the strips are snapped. If it's closer to the start of the selection, then the start frame of the selection gets snapped, else the end frame will get snapped.
Snapping is also supported when moving the frame indicator in the seqiencer. Click and start dragging and press Ctrl.
Slip tool:
The slip tool (S key) allows users to change the position of the contents of a strip without moving the strip itself.
IMPORT/EXPORT:
Collada Importer:
Joints & Bones:
Collada does not support the concept of Bones like in Blender. Instead of this we only have Joints. A Joint is equivalent to the Head of a Blender Bone:
Because of this the Bone Tail is not defined when a Collada File is imported. For subsequent bones (bone chains) this is normally not a big problem because a parent's bone tail is typically connected to a child's Bone Head, so the bones can be recreated from the data.
The Dangling Bone Tail:
But this is no longer true for the leaf bones (the end bone of a bone chain). There we always end up with a "dangling tail". In many cases we can derive the bone orientation from the Joint Transformation Matrix that is provided in the Collada Imnport. However, this keeps us with a bone of correct rotation but arbitrary length.
We solve the bone length problem by detecting the smallest bone in the Armature and take that as a measure for the leaf bone length. This is done automatically by the Importer and in most cases this approach still gives convenient results. There is currently no way to influence this Importer behavior.
When Collada does not care:
Sometimes the leaf bones are exported with a wrong or missing transformation matrix. In that case all Leaf bones might point into unwanted directions. We found that aligning the leaf bones towards their parent bones gives reasonable results in these cases. So the Importer now provides an Option "Fix Leaf Bones"
Connected and unconnected Bones:
Collada does only know about Parent-Child relationship regarding Bones. However blender supports also connected/unconnected Bones. It is not straight forward to find which bones shall be connected and which bones shall be left unconnected.
By default Blender only connects 2 bones if the parent bone has exactly one single child bone. This can give us inconvenient results like in the example aside. Here the problem is that each Bone of the main Skeleton has one additional child bone (a collision Volume Bone in this case). Hence because of the connection rule above, no bones are actually connected and we get a very inconvenient Rig.
We have added an experimental option to the Importer "Find Bone Chains". This option searches "best matching" chains of bones, so that whenever a Parent has multiple children, it determines which is the most reasonable bone chain to create.
The Bone Chain Finder works best for symmetric Rigs. For asymmetric rigs it does not work well at all. Because of this the chain finder is p[rovided as an option and it is disabled by default.
Where is it? Import Options Panel - You find the new options in the Collada Import Panel
Fix Leaf Bones:
Orient the Leaf bones along their parent bones.
Find Bone Chains:
Try to find best matching chains of connected bones.
Minimum Chain Length:
Controls what size a child bone chain must have at least to be considered as possible subsequent chain for a bone. Actually we haven't yet found any situation where changing the default value would give better results.
FREESTYLE NPR RENDERING:
Built-in SVG exporter:
Freestyle SVG Export options.
Freestyle now has a built-in SVG exporter (D785). This feature is implemented as an addon, and can be enabled in the user preferences (render section). Features of the exporter include:
a user interface
integration with the parameter editor and some of its settings, in particular color
transparency
thickness
visibility
stroke caps
dashes
support for animation
some extra attributes that make manipulation of the exporter's result in Inkscape easier.
the ability to export fills (a closed external contour with the underlying material's color)
View map caching:
View Map Cache option.
New render layer option named "View map cache" is added to reuse a previously computed view map for subsequent rendering. The cache is automatically updated when the mesh geometry of the input 3D scene has been changed.
This functionality offers a major performance boost for Freestyle animation rendering when camera-space mesh geometry is static, as well as for repeated still renders with updates of line stylization options.
Although the "View map cache" toggle is a render layer option, the cache memory is shared by all render layers and scenes. This means that if Freestyle is used for two or more render layers (possibly in different scenes through the compositor), then the cached view map for one render layer is replaced by a new view map for another render layer and hence no performance gain is expected.
ANIMATION:
Grease Pencil:
In the first major upgrade of the Grease Pencil functionality since it was first introduced in 2008, this release brings a number of improvements aimed at making it easier to use Grease Pencil for hand-drawn storyboarding in 3D. Of course though, many of these improvements are useful for other workflows too - including for motion graphics, for correctly wayward bloopers while drawing, or just in general everyday usage.
It is now possible to edit Grease Pencil strokes
Use D Tab, or toggle the "Enable Editing" toggles in the Toolbar/Properties regions to enter "Stroke Edit Mode". In this mode, many common editing tools will operate on Grease Pencil stroke points instead.
Tools implemented include Select, Select All/Border/Circle/Lasso,Linked /More/Less, Grab, Rotate, Scale, Bend, Shear, To Sphere, Mirror, Duplicate, Delete. Proportional Editing works when using the transform tools.
Grease Pencil stroke settings can now be animated:
NOTE: Currently drivers don't work, but if time allows, this may still be added before the release.
Strokes can be drawn with "filled" interiors, using a separate set of colour/opacity settings to the ones used for the lines themselves. This makes use of OpenGL filled polys, which has the limitation of only being able to fill convex shapes. Some artifacts may be visible on concave shapes (e.g. pacman's mouth will be overdrawn)
"Volumetric Strokes":
An alternative drawing technique for stroke drawing has been added which draws strokes as a series of screen-aligned discs.
While this was originally a partial experimental technique at getting better quality 3D lines, the effects possible using this technique were interesting enough to warrant making this a dedicated feature. Best results when partial opacity and large stroke widths are used.
Improved Onion Skinning Support:
Different colours can be selected for the before/after ghosts. To do so, enable the "colour wheel" toggle beside the Onion Skinning toggle, and set
the colours accordingly.
Different numbers of ghosts can be shown before/after the current frame
Grease Pencil datablocks are now attached to the scene by default instead of
the active object:
For a long time, the object-attachment has proved to be quite problematic for users to keep track of. Now that this is done at scene level, it is easier for most users to use.
An exception for old files (and for any addons which may benefit from object attachment instead), is that if the active object has a Grease Pencil datablock, that will be used instead.
It is not currently possible to choose object-attachment from the UI, but it is simple to do this from the console instead, by doing: context.active_object.grease_pencil = bpy.data.grease_pencil["blah"]
Various UI Cleanups:
The layers UI has been cleaned up to use a list instead of the nested-panels design. Apart from saving space, this is also much nicer to look at now.
The UI code is now all defined in Python. To support this, it has been necessary to add some new context properties to make it easier to access these settings. e.g. "gpencil_data" for the datablock
"active_gpencil_layer" and "active_gpencil_frame" for active data, "editable_gpencil_strokes" for the strokes that can be edited
The "stroke placement/alignment" settings (previously "Drawing Settings" at the bottom of the Grease Pencil panel in the Properties Region) is now located in the toolbar. These were more toolsettings than properties for how GPencil got drawn.
"Use Sketching Sessions" has been renamed "Continuous Drawing", as per a suggestion for an earlier discussion on developer.blender.org. By default, the painting operator will wait for a mouse button to be pressed before it starts creating the stroke. This is to make it easier to include this operator in various toolbars/menus/etc. To get it immediately starting as when you hold down DKEy to draw), set "wait_for_input" to False. The "Convert to Geometry" operator is now included in the toolbar, making it easier for modellers who are hand-drawing curves.
GPencil Layers can be rearranged in the "Grease Pencil" mode of the Action Editor, and color swatches are displayed beside the name of each item to make it easier to keep track of which is which Toolbar panels have been added to all the other editors which support these.
Undo support works again when "Continuous Drawing" is enabled. This has been broken since at least 2.69, due to a fix for not accidentally adding drivers in the node editor while drawing.
Pie menus for quick-access to tools:
A set of experimental pie menus has been included for quick access to many tools and settings. It is not necessary to use these to get things done, but they have been designed to help make certain common tasks easier.
D Q = The main pie menu. Reveals tools in a context sensitive and
spatially stable manner.
D W = "Quick Settings" pie. This allows quick access to the active
layer's settings. Notably, colours, thickness, and turning
onion skinning on/off.
Graph Editor:
Revised the set of operators for showing/hiding curves from the keyframes area. We now have the following operators:
H = Hide selected curves
ShiftH = Show only the selected curve (and hide everything else)
AltH = Show all previous hidden curves
MORE FEATURES:
Optimization - Use SSE2 intrinsics together with multi-threading for mesh deform modifier
ADD-ONS:
FBX Add-on:
Features available in the 'experimental' version of the add-on in 2.72 have been merged into the 'stable' one, and experimental removed. This mostly adds some advanced handling/tweakings of armatures import/export (like auto-orientation of bones, add/remove leaf bones, etc.), to address differences between Blender's and FBX's armature models.
Also, import - first imported animation/action is now linked to its object
Python API:
BMVert/Edge/FaceSeq.ensure_lookup_table now needs to be called before int subscription 785b90d7efd048a3c6d586db3760ef31fb41b1ca
Grease Pencil data is now created on the Scene instead of per Object by default. However, old files may still have Grease Pencil data on Object level which will get used instead. There are two ways this can be worked around:
if ob: gpd = ob.grease_pencil; if not gpd: gpd = scene.grease_pencil
gpd = context.gpencil_data
