- Mask Expand
- Creates a mask from the active vertex to the vertex under the cursor based on topology or mesh curvature.
- Mask Extract
- Extracts the paint mask to a new mesh object. It can extract the paint mask creating a boundary loop in the geometry, making it ready for adding a subdivision surface modifier.
- Mask Expand by Curvature
- Mask Extract
- New Tools
- Pose Brush
- Pose a model simulating an armature-like deformation. The pivot point for rotation is calculated automatically based on the radius of the brush and the topology of the model.
- Elastic Deform Brush
- Based on Pixar's paper Regularized Kelvinlets:
- Sculpting Brushes based on Fundamental Solutions of Elasticity, this tool lets you grab, biscale grab, triscale grab, scale and twist operations while preserving volume.
- Translate, Rotate, Scale
- Use the familiar transform tools now also during sculpt. Transforming around a pivot point and taking into account symmetry.
- Draw Sharp Brush
- Similar to the draw brush, but it deforms the mesh from the original coordinates. When used with the sharper curve presets it has a much more pleasant crease/cut behavior than any of the other brushes. It is useful for creating cloth wrinkles, stylized hair or hard surface edges.

Cambios para v2.64a - v2.65
- The Blender Foundation and online developer community is proud to present Blender 2.65. We focused on making this the most stable release in the 2.6 cycle yet, fixing over 200 bugs.
- Fire simulation was added along with many improvements in smoke simulation. In Cycles, motion blur, open shading language and anisotropic shading support was added. For mesh modeling, the bevel tool was much improved, a new symmetrize mesh tool was added, and new Laplacian smooth, decimate, and triangulate modifiers are available.
- 2.65 release: December 10th, 2012.
- Fire and Smoke
- Fire simulation was added to the Smoke Simulator. The domain received major updates to improve performance and usability. Smoke can be emitted from mesh surfaces, without the need for a particle system. A smoke flow force field was added to improve interaction with other simulations. Colored smoke simulation and mixing is possible and the interaction of smoke with collision objects has been improved.
- Mesh Modeling
- The bevel tool now includes rounding and was otherwise much improved, preserving the requested bevel width more evenly and generating better topology. A new symmetrize tool was added to make mesh topology and data symmetric.
- More Features
- New features include: a tool transfer vertex weights from one mesh to another, antialiased viewport drawing, connected proportional editing in UV editor, improved DPX file read and write, more control over curve taper, collision masks in the game engine and improved camera title safe drawing.
- Bug fixes
- In addition to the new features, over 200 bugs that existed in previous releases have been fixed.
- Cycles Render
- Support for writing custom shaders in the Open Shading Language is now available. Motion blur rendering was also added, to make moving objects and cameras appear blurry. There is also an anisotropic shading node, and BSDF nodes can now have different normals, which can be set using the new bump and normal map nodes.
- Modifiers
- The decimator was rewritten, and now preserves UV's and vertex colors, has an un-subdivide and a mode to dissolve vertices to create planar n-gons. A new laplacian smooth modifier can reduce noise or smooth the mesh while preserving edges and volume. A triangulate modifier was also added, which can be useful for creating game assets with baked normal maps.
- Addons
- UV texture to vertex color baking was added, the PDB atomic visualization addon was improved, and film response curves were added for the RGB Curves node in the compositor.
Cambios para v2.62 - v2.63
- This release was focused on integrating and stabilizing the long awaited BMesh modelling system, which has full support for N-sided polygons and many new modelling tools. New tools include Dissolve, Inset, Bridge, Vertex Slide, Vertex Connect, Bevel, and improved versions of Knife, Subdivide and Rip.
Cambios para v2.61 - v2.62
- The Blender Foundation and online developer community is proud to present Blender 2.62. The 2.6x series is being targeted at including all work that happened in branches or patches past years.
- The Cycles render engine now has layers/passes, you can track objects inside videos now, have much better and faster boolean intersections and use great new UV Tools.

Cambios para v2.58a - v2.59
- Prominent features (the cool stuff)
- 3D Mouse support "NDOF"
- Blender is now built with support for 3D Connexion devices, for more natural control during view navigation and fly mode - r38908
- Custom Keymaps
- User edited keymaps now no longer override the builtin keymaps entirely, but rather save only the difference and reapply those changes. This means they can stay better in sync when the builtin keymaps change.
- Keymaps in blender are now separated so Addons can properly define their own keymaps without them conflicting with user keymaps
- See commit log for details - r39084
- Ivy Generator (Addon)
- This tools adds the ability to "grow" curves over an existing mesh with the option of adding leaves and adjusting many parameters for the final result - r2200

- Node editor enhancements
- Several enhancements are done related to the node editor/compositor.
- Material passes: Materials have pass-index. This pass-index can be used in the compositor to create mattes. It works the same as object passes.
- Node insert: Nodes that have no connections can be inserted on a noodle. Just move the node over the noodle and release when the noodle turns orange.
- Delete with reconnect: It is possible to delete a node that is connected in the tree, without loosing the connections. The node is deleted, but the links are reconnected as if the node were muted. Select a node and press CTRL-X.
- Noodle curves: Some users like straight noodles, other like curved, in the user preferences the level of the curvation can be changed.
- Node properties: The UI of the side panel and on the node can now be different. See the Color balance node in the side panel.
