Five Big Changes Coming to Blender 4.1

Bart ·

Decoded takes a look at some important changes that you can expect in Blender 4.1.

He covers:

  • Geometry node tree speedups with the new baking node
  • Drag and drop import (FINALLY!)
  • A fix for large point lights
  • An improved noise texture that now also does Musgrave
  • The Open Image Denoiser received a huge speedup as it’s now GPU based

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.
