\n\nMuch easier to find commands (the \"spacebar\" menu now lets you search for commands -- so you can get to any command by hitting space and then typing the first few letters of its name).\n\t
Tool buttons have tooltips showing you the tools keyboard shortcut and Python equivalent (unfortunately it looks like it's the Python equivalent that's used for mapping keyboard shortcuts, which makes sense from an engineering point of view, but isn't very user-friendly).\n\tFullscreen mode on Mac\n\tMultiple window (and hence monitor) support\n\tAccording to the release notes, there's also cloth and smoke simulation and improved particles (I'd never used Blender's particles before and it's a testament to how much things have improved that I was able to get particles up and running in a few moments without looking at any documentation or tutorials).\n\n\n\nMy experience of Blender 2.5 thus far (pre-alpha) is that it's quite stable and a lot more usable. The new version includes a 64-bit OS X version (yay!).","$updatedAt":"2024-06-05T09:24:12.059+00:00",path:"blender-2-5-alpha-0",_created:"2024-07-09T20:31:41.904Z",id:"1984",_modified:"2024-07-09T20:31:41.904Z","$id":"1984",_path:"post/path=blender-2-5-alpha-0"},"page/path=blog":{path:"blog",css:"",imageUrl:"",prefetch:[{regexp:"^\\/(([\\w\\d]+\\/)*)([\\w-]+)\\/?$",path:"post/path=[3]"}],tags:["public"],source:"",title:"",description:"",_path:"page/path=blog"}}
