How to get the old Blender font in Blender 4.0
มุมมอง 1.1Kปีที่แล้ว
I was pretty shocked by the font change in the new version of blender, so I promptly changed it back to the old one. I figured there might be a few others who would want it back as well so I made a quick video. If anyone knows how to change the kerning/character spacing back to the old version let me know! I did a little googling but I think it might be the type of thing you change in some code...

FINALLY Use GPU Compositor to RENDER Your Animations (Blender 4.0 Alpha)

Finally! We can use the viewport compositor for renders! All in Blender 4.0 Alpha as of June 6th, I think. Also, I just got a new computer and as you see the cpu is relatively beefy. On my old six core intel 8700 this example compositing structure was taking up to a minute. So if you don't have a super strong CPU this is going to be very good news for you.

This is such an easy way to add a ton of extra detail to your scene. It's seriously OP. When making the pieces it might be a good idea to shade smooth so your hexagonal poles look round. You'll have to go into the vertex properties and under normals change the 30 degrees to 61 degrees.

      Did you enable GPU compositing? If you haven't, go to 6:33 in the video to see how to do that. These run real time and render almost instantly on my laptop's rtx 3050, so there's gotta be something else going on.

  • @Onyx2525

    I just bought this setup because it's just great. I wonder if you would have any idea to adapt it so that in a situation where there are 2 strong light sources in one stage in different colors, e.g. front and rear headlights in the car. In this case, the flares should depend on the color of the light source..

    The option is gone in 4.1 so I'm guessing they still haven't implemented this? That's a damn shame because not getting the same results in the final render has been such a huge pain for the longest time and the main reason I still haven't really used the compositor as much as I wanted to. And not being able to use the speed of the GPU compositor for the final render kinda defeats the whole purpose. Am I missing something or is it really not there yet?

    It would be super handy to be able to add this to a pre-existing armature. like so you could have an animated character moving around doing stuff and then Wham! they whacked by a giant hammer and tumble off into the distance. I guess you could do it by just deleting your armature at the moment of impact and then replacing it, but it would be much easier if you could do it with the original armature. (right now whenever I try to add the tail bone thing to my armature, everything goes crazy (the arms rip off and the legs swing around wildly lol). maybe my armature just has too many bones for this idk)
