      I seem to remember that 2.46 was supposed to have been released back in April. Oh well, it’s actually better this way because now I have time to actually use it! Looking forward to the Peach film, too.

      sweetness. i’ve been incredibly anxious for that 2.46 release.

    • Andrew

      Crap… that means I won’t get my Big Buck Bunny DVD till after the internet release :(

      Being in Australia sucks. At least with the May 15th date we had a chance.

      Oh well, can’t win em all. Should be great though!

      A big thankyou to the hard work the Blender team are putting in :)

    • CrazyJack

      Ah man, just watched the trailer, and I want it!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to all who worked on this project. If it were’nt for you guys, we’d propabaly be stuck watching a puppet version of this.

    • STu

      Have been wating so long,
      hope there is a fully working 3DConnection support, at least in Win release.

    • Anthoni_C

      Sweet Can’t Wait!

    • a

      where is it??? :(

    • RP

      I like the new glossy reflections and other new features. Blender 2.46 is another great release! Thank you for making this amazing software for free.

      When there will be support for photon mapping/caustics in the internal renderer? Blender is great and mature now, I think the only missing features are these. Is this planned? Sure, I can use some tricks with nodes and Python scripting to get caustics but this is difficult and restricted to still pictures.

    • Andrew

      RP, I think you’re better off using YafRay or Indigo for the time being.

      They’ve just spent months putting together this release, so don’t hold your breath for even MORE features anytime soon.

    • Blenderdude86

      um…so, is there any possibility that 2.46 will be released today(may 19th)?
