    3. Thankyou ever so much to all at the Blender institute. Spending what feels like most of my life indoors without friends has never been so much fun. Now I have even more reason to burn the midnight oil.

    5. Absolutly fantastic!!!

      I never dreamed of one of those new features ever…
      It will take me till version 2.5 to even look after the half of the new functions!
      Now i’m sure that the money for BBB was at the right place.

      Many many thanks to all people involved to this gigantic piece of opensource!!

    6. Simply….AWESOME!

      Too many features, you guys are working too hard. I can’t keep up learning how to use the new features fast enough! (that’s a good thing…)

    7. Wow awesome!!! Can’t wait to get right into it and make really good use of some of the cool new features, especially the animation side of things.

      Thanks for the notification!

    14. *just when i started to hang in quiet desperation…
      *bravo for everyone from devellopers to enthusiastic users…to all those who make the blender community happy today on planet earth…
      *i have a little suggestion…what is devellopers could provide newbies with a pdf sheet like the one called “blenderquickstart” just to show main graphic user interface changes occuring from one version to another…:very few lines so that we ‘ll know where to put our mouse’s cursor
      *another little suggestion…. for the future this one:can devellopers mix cloth proprietaries to those of particles systems like hair for instance…and make hair in wind…
      *thank you :after the ms case and the departure of bart…2.46 release is a wonderful timing…and bart can post everynow and then

    15. luv it! but,settings and .b.blend In my document?, i dont really like it (to store something in my documents folder, i always keep it empty, and put my files on other partition). can i move it to blender (program) folder?

    16. Thank-you, so much, Ton, all developers, and all who have contributed to the Blender community…. simply too many names to list, but you know who you are…. and, of course, the whole Blender community itself! Thank-you!

    17. Been playing with the Linux & Win32 Builds. Most impressive release yet. Well done to all the devs and many thanks for all your hard work. It’s up to us to help spread the 2.46 love out there. Goodness knows there’s some amazing new features worth shouting about!

    20. Cool! I am downloading it right now.
      But… Geez… Has the software grown! The first time I downloaded Blender (ver. 1.68, if I am not wrong) it was only 1.2MB. Now it is 10 times bigger…and 100 more functions, I believe :)

    29. Wow, wow and wow. I’ve been using the builds for a while now, but there’s so many other new features that I didn’t even know about!

      Amazing work guys! Thanks for all your efforts.

      THIS IS ONE KICK-ASS RELEASE! ROCK ON!!!!!!

    30. Thank you so much to all Blender Developers!!!!!!
      Amazing Release!
      I Already Installed the Windows version and there is no (Folders) and Scripts Folders created in the Blender Instalation Folder!???

      THANKS!!!

    34. @ Someone44 ~ the 10.4 and 10.5 release are one and the same… i’m using 2.46 on leopard 10.5.2 right now

      Incredibly dedicated work, Devs. Infinite thanks to you all and congrats on this vast release ;)

      Assuming you’re using Windows…
      Had to do some searching around before I realized where it was: it’s tucked away in the Application Data folder now.

      I.E.
      C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Blender Foundation

      It will probably be somewhere other than the All Users folder if you selected “current user” during the installation.

    44. Wow… AMAZING feauture list! Can’t wait to tinker with it…
      Another great version of Blender! Thank you!!!

      (by the way, does someone know which game appears besides the “Game Engine improvements” link?)

    57. Yeees! Praise God… ciao! Thanks so much, to all the blender developers and enthusiasts! Let’s see what this version has to offer…

    58. Lovely.
      Thanks to all the developpers ! I wish i knew how to programm… Well done to all of you !
      And Welcome to 2.46, surely a great vintage !

    61. Thanks a lot to all the devs!

      Is the MacBook/Mac mini and Leopard bug fixed? I can’t test it myself because I’m not at home right now.

    67. My computer detected another blender application from previously download and rewited and deleted some folder.It was Fix .Now, I can setup my new bang,bang Ubuntu computer and server for my project. Thanks to all developer and Ton.

    68. soon we will take over the world. Muhahahahaah haha ahaha ahah heh he…he.heeh. (cough) cough. Just kidding… but seriously… I’m not kidding.

    71. I’d like to extend my appreciation to the blender developers. I haven’t done any real work with Blender for a while (not enough time), but I still follow it very closely because it’s one of my all-time favorite apps. Nice work.

    72. Thank you all the devs!

      This has been one awesome release and this AAO and particle system is already making my mouth water.

      Congratulations! You did it again! (and just in time too for some of projects!)

    73. Great !
      One step that i don’t know about ..
      is all full documentation about how to build Blender
      by teach everyone to contribute the understand and build
      to new functions ,look utilities ,main objects() ,help files ,
      scene constructors ,… bring the ideas to program .

      A online school about all the maths,consepts,….
      and all development for Blender .

    79. I’m also interested in the bug on the Macbook + Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) combination has been ironed out for this Blender release. It’s a shame that it used to work under OS X 10.4.

    82. The Sequencer (video editing) is now even more interesting than before: I don’t know of any NLE – be it commercial or not – that runs on basically all platforms and offers high-end video editing with a feature set as complete as the blender VSE! Combine this with the power of the Compositing Nodes and you’ve got a very impressive and unique tool for video post production. (And that is before you’ve started exploring the possibilities that the 3D features – including the particle system – offer for visual works of all kinds…)

    83. Im getting a server error every time I try to download. Is there a mirror or can it be hosted (windows version) on a download site so I can get my sweaty desperate hands on it….ppppppllllllllllleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    84. This is great – I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed though. I’m just hoping some new video tutorials will appear to ease us into the new features. I really want to learn Blender.
      Cheers :)

    85. Well I’m in the middle of three 2.45 “mission critical” animations at the moment – but what the hell – I can’t wait any longer for 2.46! >:)

      Fantastic work guys – it’s going to be one long ‘lunchbreak’ for me today…

    86. OH YEAH! Just what I’ve been waiting for! An new and excellent version of Blender, in 10 minutes I made some animations with the cloth system, it’s awesome!! Thanks for all!!

    90. Thank you so much!
      It as so many new and usefull features!
      With each release, i always get amazed!

      Thank you once more for this piece of art!

    97. Ton and all the other devs, keep up the phenominal ‘effin work with Blender. We really appreciate what y’all are doing for the artist community and giving up and comers a complete tool to learn on.

      VIVA LA REVOLUCION DE OSS!!!!

    99. Slowly but surely Blender reaches a stage of professionalism that makes it hard to understand the tools. I don’t do 3D stuff for quite a while now (I’m back to my main interest: making musik) and visit this site from time to time because I’m still interested in Blenders development. With every new release I’m more impressed, but even if I would, I don’t want to learn this application again. So much features, such a steep learning curve. Anyway, great work!

    107. Hi guys, I’m not sure I’m writing something new, however Firefox couldn’t find the word “Vista” on this page and I don’t have time to read all the thread, so I’m going to post it:

      C:\Users\Dario\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts

      This is, for some reason, my script folder under Vista. Hopefully this will be helpful to some people; I saw a lot of posts on the Internet wondering where the Blender script folder is!

      Bye ;-)
