The goodies: * Curves can be used as normal dynamic effectors too with the new "curve" field shape. * Group visualization has optional duplication counts for each object in the specified group. * Object & group visualizations, which are done without taking the dupliobject's global position into account (unless the whole group is used). This is much nicer than the previous behavior, but I added a "Use Global Location" option for those who want to use it the old way. * The active particle system's particles are now drawn a with theme coloured outline instead of pure white. * Added object aligned velocity factors (buttons categorized and re-organized too). Bug fixes: * Absorption didn't work as the ui toggle button was forgotten. * Some other force field ui tweaks. * Crash after adding children and changing trails count. * Display types "cross" and "axis" crashed. * Particles weren't drawn with correct coloring. * Billboards didn't update properly in viewport to camera location changes. * Particle rotation wasn't recreated correctly from point cache. * Changing particles amount crashed sometimes. * Some files with child hair crashed on loading. * Compiler warning fixes. * Adding boids crashed on frame 1;
Welcome to the fun world of open source. For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named INSTALL. ---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory--------------------- The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender. In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font. Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations: - the current directory - your home directory - On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked - On Windows, the installation dir is checked. If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended). -------------------------------------Links-------------------------------------- Getting Involved: http://www.blender.org/community/get-involved Community: http://www.blender.org/Community Main blender development site: http://www.blender.org The Blender project homepage: http://projects.blender.org/projects/bf-blender Documentation: http://www.blender.org/education-help Bug tracker: http://www.blender.org/development/report-a-bug Feature request tracker: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Requests
