Thanks goes to everyone who contributed to the Code Quest, the massively successful 3 month workshop in Blender Institute during spring 2018.Īnd we thank everyone who joined the Development Fund in 2nd half of 20. This enabled us to work on the viewport, Eevee, collections/layers, UI and tools redesign.

Special thanks goes to Tangent Animation and Aleph Objects, who funded 4 additional developers to work full-time on Blender 2.8 during the crucial 2017 period. The people who work for the Foundation and Institute did a tremendous job to bring Blender is where is it nowadays. You can simply right click on them and save the images to your computer if you want to use them.The Blender developer community is being supported by the organizational powers of Blender Foundation and its spin-off Blender Institute. Below are my 3 personal favorite matcaps from 2.79. On that page you’ll find a list of the matcaps in. Luckily all the 2.79 matcap images are available to download here on GitHub. Download your favorite 2.79 matcaps from GitHub Another advantage the red matcap has over the stripes is that you can keep it enabled while modeling without going blind. Even the new zebra stripe matcaps don’t do nearly as well as the old reflective red matcap when it comes to pointing out even the most minor flaws.

I think all the new matcaps fall far short in that regard. Matcaps are sleek to look at but they can also be extremely useful for surface analysis. The good news is that we can easily get the old matcaps into the latest Blender version. Since Blender 2.8 and beyond there is a whole new collection of matcaps, sadly leaving behind some of the tried-and-true matcaps from 2.79.
