Blender 2.64 RC2 Released
The Blender Foundation has just released the second release candidate for Blender 2.64. Please download it now, test thoroughly and report any issues that you may find on the Blender Bugtracker. As always, all the new features are currently being documented in the 2.64 Changelog.
Hell YEAH…:)
no change log?
I added the link to the changelog. It doesn’t mention the changes between RC1 and RC2 though.
Nice !
New cycles shader nodes for more possibility. I want to try what I can do with “ray lenght” node for my beach wave simulation!

Congrats to the team, quite an accomplishment…… they always keep me coming back for more.
Wow, Cycles has really gotten clean. Did this 4.5 hr animation test and don’t see any sparkles or noise: http://youtu.be/Rk4ZeF-FTA4
How many samples – 1000…?
200
With most other software, it’s like, ok that’s cool, new update….
But with blender, I get ecstatic!
And this is coming from someone who’s used Maya for almost 10 years up until 2 years ago.
very good software with lots of opportunity, keep up !

WOW! I am seeing a blistering performance improvement over 2.63, provided 2.64’s default tiles settings are reduced. Cycles rendering times for my scene on a Quadro 4000:
2:63: 139 seconds
2:64: 16×16 tiles default: 159 seconds (eh? this is slower than 2.63! But…)
2:64: 4×4 tiles: 67 seconds
2:64: 1×1 tiles: 53 seconds
So moving from 2.63 > 2.64 (using a single tile) has reduced my Cycles render time from 139 seconds to just 53 seconds! This will have a wonderful effect on my next 500 frame animation :-)
The modelling additions are great! However my custom hotkeys don’t work. Even the default hotkeys such as CTRL+E and CTRL+F. I’ve got way too many hotkeys to setup again. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Regards to all
I have the same problem. I created a custom key configuration in 2.63 and not I cannot import it into the latest versions (2.64 or 2.65).
When I try importing the .py to use my custom hotkeys, nothing happens. Also, other standard hotkeys like “w” and “e” don’t work either.
I really like my set up. Has this bug been reported yet?
