    Note that all CUDA accelerated cycles rendering is broken in RC2 builds on all platforms. this is a known issue.

    The enable Ruler button in Blender 2.70 RC2 crashes blender completely, it acts similar to the Red close button at the top right of every window in windows 7 lol, I figured I would try and give it a go to see what it did, well guess I am just going to have to wait.

    • Ton Roosendaal had mail from this team. Implicit Skinning is close to a source release. We need to find someone who’s interested to help getting this in Blender.
      This is all that was ever officially said about it. So either it's still not released, it's been released and still being implemented, or it's been released but no one was able to work on it at this time.

    • vc2013 is compiled on visual studio (should work on Visual Studio Express 2013). It should be easier to edit and compile on Windows than mingwin/gcc, and performance "can" be improved. Haven't done enough tests to verify that vc2013 is faster, but some of the quick ones I did saw improvements of 5-10% (which is not bad at all).

      I just wish they had an official VC2013 project file set up so it would be as easy to set up as linux build is.
