Blender 2.65 Released

skade88 writes "Blender 2.65 has been released. Here is a quote from the Blender team: 'The Blender Foundation and online developer community is proud to present Blender 2.65. We focused on making this the most stable release in the 2.6 cycle yet, fixing over 200 bugs. Fire simulation was added along with many improvements in smoke simulation. In Cycles, motion blur, open shading language and anisotropic shading support was added. For mesh modeling, the bevel tool was much improved, a new symmetrize mesh tool was added, and new Laplacian smooth, decimate, and triangulate modifiers are available.'"

Oh, sweet

I was fiddling around all last week to try to get a decent fire in Blender using particle systems.

This should make it a snap.

Less reliance on video tutorials in lieu of documentation would be nice, too.

Blender is not a CAD/CAM software. It is a 3D animation software. Use the right tool for the job.
