Blender 2.83.6 LTS released
Blender 2.83.6 LTS (Long Term Support) has just been released, adding more than 30 fixes to this already rock-solid version of Blender.
On top of the fresh list of bug fixes and stability improvements, this version comes with a new feature as well, support for SteamVR! Pablo Vasquez goes through this release in detail in this video below:
This is the sixth maintenance release in the 2.83 LTS series, bringing the total number of fixes to more than 150 so far. The 2.83 LTS program is expected to be maintained until 2022.
Blender is one of the few software that rarely responsible for the past. File format incompatibilities, even between 0.1 releases, are common.
The other day I opened a 14 years old file in Blender without problems. The only thing I had to change was the materials.
Have to disagree on that. I’ve been using Blender for 7 years in my current job and assets I made 7 years ago still work reliably with even 2.90. I can confidently ‘File -> Append’ assets from them without even second guessing it.
