Blender 5.2 LTS: Physics Just Got Insane!

Bart ·

Blender 5.2 LTS is about to drop and it contains a LOT of updates!

The full list of changes is available here, but let’s zoom in on the changes in the physics: new cloth and hair options, effectors (like colliders and force) and the big one: the XPBD Solver that drives the new cloth and hair dynamics, but that’s also accessible directly for more direct use.

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.
