New Features and Changes
Blender 2.92
- Cycles: volume rendering is now significantly more memory efficient, by using a sparse NanoVDB grid. Results are highly dependent on the volume shape. With one a production volume asset memory usage was reduced 3x, at the cost of 10% longer render time. (commit ) (Patrick Mours)
- Overrides: support overriding physics point caches, for locally baking simulations. (commit ) (Bastien Montagne)
- Outliner: sync with property editor physics tab (commit ) (Hans Goudey)
- 3D Viewport:
- Add opacity setting for overlay wireframe. (commit ) (Jun Mizutani)
- Use adaptive mesh resolution for HDRI preview sphere (commit ) (Ivan Perevala)
- macOS: follow system preference for natural trackpad scroll direction (commit) (Yevgeny Makarov)
- Python API: add 3D_POLYLINE_UNIFORM_COLOR to PyGPU shader API (commit ) (YimingWu)
