And Geometry Nodes received its own default workspace. Additionally, it’s now possible to add a range of primitives without leaving Geometry Nodes. Amongst the large number of improvements to Geometry Nodes was the Spreadsheet Editor, and several usability tweaks. A multitude of new nodes were added, including proximity, sample texture, remove, convert, clamp and more.

Geometry Nodes was expanded to build on the attribute system - texture sampling, support volume data, and usability were all upgraded. Ambient occlusion and volumetrics were also improved. They know what’s going on and how it could be included or if it would collide with their own plans etc.The EEVEE depth of field rendering was rewritten for increased accuracy, allowing it to better handle fall off and close-ups. I think if there really is the intent to have money involved or hire somebody to contribute to the core development then actually talking to the module owners and coordinators first would be the best thing to do. Which is a good thing in the regard that nobody can simply buy into changing Blender their way but is a bad thing for when you want to give specific money for a thing that the core developers simply don’t want or currently can’t for one reason or another.īottom line - everything you donate via the fund will always remain that: A donation. So yes - you can nudge and are at a better position to have that nudge be heard but it’s never a transaction. Donating a large sum gives the advantage to actually make specific requests but it does never grant the right for these requests to be actually implemented. The way I understand it they can make requests but it has to align with what the developers are doing or be compatible with that.
