Another SIGGRAPH exclusive Blender demo was Nvidia's DLSS denoiser for Cycles. It made moving around the viewport feel as smooth as EEVEE! Crazy stuff. Another video below

The bevel modifier in Blender 4.3 will let you use any attribute as a weight, so you can finally have multiple custom non-destructive bevels on a mesh! The UI for attributes is clunky, but it's there.

The Blender modeling tip of the day is that you can preserve curvature in loop cuts by using the Smoothness property. You can also set this by Alt Scrolling before confirming the cut, but there's no visual feedback so it's not super intuitive that way.

UV Flow is the fastest way to unwrap. Cut loops that stop at other seams. Drag to cut through poles and tris. Auto-unwrap with tons of extra options. Work in layers. Unwrap to real world scale. Pack by material. And so much more! 25% off rn on BM:

The next version of Scattershot will have a method that works with true displacement! I got it working after messing with the Repeat Zone and Closures in 5.0, only to realize it was possible the whole time... though with a lot more work.

Transitioning from one transform to another is the most foundational idea in animation, but I've yet to see a general-purpose tool for doing it in geometry nodes. So, we'll build one in next week's YouTube video! One the most useful downloads I've ever given out for free

Check this out. No Booleans, SDFs, or anything fancy. Just setting the normals via geometry nodes. And the setup is right in the 4.5 release notes! The new "Free Normals" option helps this calculate nice and fast.

In Blender 5.0, you can finally make custom glare. You can even plug in any image! Maybe it's time to make some lens flares...

I really love that the brightest spot in HDRIs can now cast shadows in Eevee Next. There are no lights in this scene. So great!

Thanks to lots of help from Campbell, I contributed my first Blender feature! You can now choose where to stop loops. This lets you select through boundary n-gons, stop at seams, or stop at sharp edges. Will be useful for both retopology and UVs.
