Colored smoke simulation and mixing is possible and the interaction of smoke with collision objects has been improved. It is considered stable and without regressions. Latest Stable Release This is a binary distribution of the latest version of Blender. Blender 2.Īlways check that the graphics drivers are up to date and that OpenGL is well supported. Note, this is not the Properties panel toggled by 52440. Barring that, is there a hotkey that can restore the rightmost section. So it is recommended to always select the appropriate system settings before starting the design of materials.īlender 2. First and foremost is the renderer used: Cycles and the Blender Renderer aka Blender Internal or BI require quite different illumination levels to achieve similar results, and even then the appearance of objects can be quite different.Īlso, the material properties settings can be affected by the texture method used single-texture, multi-texture or GLSL. When this project is over, I will certainly consider 2.8x.The exact effect of Material settings can be affected by a number of system settings. The present addons and preferences are exactly what I need for the current project. Relative to 2.8x, I’m using Blender for my work.

So, for 2.79, the default state can be re-enabled by either pressing Ctrl- or clicking the. I didn’t see that before I made my initial post.

I believe that is because, in 2.79, the Ctrl- state is temporary and there is a section in the main header at the top. However, when in the Ctrl- state, the widget is not there and dragging on the right edge does nothing. For 2.79, when the display is in the default state, there is a widget in the upper right corner of the main window that you can drag out to add new windows, as you show. Surprisingly, I was not able to restore the rightmost section like you show in your 2.8x video. Relative to the issue with the rightmost section disappearing, I was able to reproduce the crime using Ctrl- as you suggest.
