Blender 2.53 beta is out
| Posted July 23, 2010 by Nathan Letwory 1 Thumb-up |
Blender 2.53 beta is finally out. The first beta after a year of alpha! Lots of good stuff has made it into it, and I think that sculpters especially will love the improved and new tools.
Of course, very important is also that the Renderfarm.fi script is bundled with the release. You only have to enable it in the Add-ons section of the user preferences and you're ready to use it (assuming you already registered with renderfarm.fi ;)
Anyway, see http://www.blender.org/development/release-logs/blender-250 for the full details. You will find download section through that too.
Enjoy!

Blender 2.53 Beta coming out very soon

Hi all,
I just wanted to give you all a heads-up: Blender 2.53 Beta will be released very soon. I have built the official windows versions of Blender, and they are already on the download server, waiting to be released to the world.
Please all grab your version when it's there, and get to know the tool. As a nice bonus, the Renderfarm.fi uploader script is now bundled with the official downloads! Yay.

Picking up where it was left

Hi all,
After a long hiatus (work, work, work), I finally am back with the project. The story has always been playing in the back of my head, and I am still happy with the synopsis for the manuscript.
I have now started a Wuala group http://www.wuala.com/the_romuttamo for sharing and repository purposes. Let's see if this is of any use to us. I guess people will need to ask to join the group and be accepted by me to be able to write to the repository.
Further, I've started a concept task with the request to create concepts for all pieces of junk and old that can be found in The Romuttamo. We don't have a definite style yet, although I have my ideas. So send in your efforts and I'll comment on them, hopefully guiding you all into the right direction. See http://www.wreckamovie.com/tasks/show/1452 for the task.
I'll try to think of some sensible timeline for the production in the coming time too, so stay tuned!

There was a bug with brush reading, which already got fixed in trunk. So if you have a build from a revision more recent than official release, then you most likely have already the fix.
Dont know whats wrong with the beta (or ubuntu), I get frequent crashes while opening more complex scenes on both my workstations. Didnt have that with recent graphicall.org builds.
Anyway, sculpting system is awesome now!
I hope everybody moves to 2.53 beta :)
For Windows users it might be useful to know that on my blog I somewhat regularly post builds from latest SVN. Check http://www.letworyinteractive.com/b/ for those (and since I build them with the same settings, on the same machine and with the same tools as official releases, I am confident to say that my builds are always good! ;)

Are you going to try that too now? (Remember to backup your work)
Wohooooo
Whepee!! Already tested and I like it SO much! It's much faster than Alpha too ^^
