Blender 2.53 Beta RELEASED; Yayy!!!

#1

The beta is out, hopefully it is more stable than the alpha 2. Haven’t tried it yet, just downloading now which is very slow at the moment:

Have you guys tried it out yet?

#2

Oops I just saw that it was posted in the news section of the forum, I hope it is ok?
Just got excited when I saw the update on the blender site. :bounce:

#3

Thanks a lot… downloading now :slight_smile:

#4

Yep, that is really great, but it is a shame that some of the basic tools like Bridge is still not present… why? :argh:

#5

It does seem a bit unstable still aswell, messed around with some render settings and add-ons and it has crashed a couple of times. More stable than the alpha 2 though so hoping things will be more stable in the next couple of beta stages…

I couldn’t find the x-ray setting for bones “Armature”, is it excluded?

#6

No, select the armature click in the cube (object in the properties’ head bar) it is in the Display panel.

#7

ah yea, thank you. :slight_smile:
Hmm it must have been moved?? Perhaps I remember wrong though…lol damn I am getting old

#8

Not moved, in the 2.4x you could also turn on the Xray in the editing properties > Armature > Editing Options. But they removed this path.

#9

Ahh that explains it, thanks my maan. :slight_smile:
Mostly I just model though, but I have to go deep with armature now though so I can start to pose the models… :wip:
