In case you weren’t notified they released the latest version live today!
The livestream is on youtube here

There is also a ~5 minute overview video released by Blender.org people. They posted it on youtube here as well.
This is the 4th major release of Blender this year and I’m shocked at how much stuff they packed into it.
I’m late to the live stream so I am watching it now. Thank you Blender devs!

Also the home page on Blender.org shows a face from our beloved CGCookie instructor @theluthier

(they will be changing it very soon to another cover page but for now it was like that)

Head on over to the website and download it.

Oh man it is glorious!

The live stream was great. I am definitely a fan of the new overrides system and the outliner getting some love.And who doesn’t love fuzzy(lazy) search features.

Remember to load your old feats when you upgrade. It’s automagic!

Wow! Trimming sculpts, creating compound shapes for “Rigid Body Simulations” and converting volumes to meshes and vice versa are awesome new features 👍👍👍!!!

Wonder how the CG Cookie crew has been keeping up with the pace of these awesome new features throughout 2020?

I don’t know how most people are keeping up the pace. 4 releases this year alone!

Right 😀👍! I like this new feature in Blender 2.91. It will no doubt look even better if it’s animated 😉!

If I take a look alone at the “Sculpt Mode” I always think that I’m still making use of just a very small part of Blender’s potential. One thing I would like to see in Blender soon is the introduction of “Bone Collections” replacing the old “Bone Layer Management”.

I feel so overwhelmed by the strength that sculpting has gotten. I just wish I knew how to use those tools better. There are just sooooooo many brushes to work with Some of them are incredibly powerful too!

I’m wondering when they will introduce the functions for time traveling, teleportations and coffee brewing into Blender. I don’t need the first two but coffee brewing is a must 😉😁☕!

Experimenting with “Volume to Mesh” and a “Particle System” (with “Use Modifier Stack” checked) on top of it:

Curve and text objects now have panels for the definition of a profile as we already know it from the “Bevel Modifier” for “Mesh Objects”: The curve defines a quarter of that profile :

1) Curve

2) Text
