The Blender Foundation and the online community proudly present Blender 5.3 🎉
This release wraps up 2026 with new features and improvements across the board. Highlights include:
🔸 Native support for 3D Gaussian splats.
🔸 A new DLSS denoiser in the Viewport on NVIDIA GPUs.
🔸 Asset libraries can now be shared as extensions, and the Extensions platform accepts asset libraries containing public domain (CC0) assets.
🔸 A new optional Projects system makes Blender aware of context beyond the open .blend file, with project-wide features to match.
🔸 Dispersion and roughness anisotropy for glass and transmissive materials in Cycles.
🔸 New Material Lighting nodes and panoramic camera support in EEVEE.
🔸 A stack of effects for the Compositor, similar to Geometry Nodes modifiers.
🔸 Grease Pencil adds selection tools to Draw Mode, a new Carver tool that cuts shapes with proper boolean subtraction, and multi-fill for the Fill tool.
🔸 Animation & Rigging adds operators to copy and paste world-space animation and to convert rotation modes, along with friendlier playback.
🔸 A full ripple editing framework and a rewritten Blade tool in the Video Sequence Editor.
And more!

I just made an earth map tool. Input latitude and longitude for two or more points, set duration of shot, set colors, and it creates the shot for you. Rendered in Eevee.
I'll throw this up on the CC0 extensions platform and on my site. #b3d

All Loop Tools are now native in Blender 5.3, so how do they work? #B3D #Blender3D #Blender Full YT video: youtu.be/a_Td8d-zHuo

I wish I could say I'm a self made businessman with great success, but my own site has never turned a profit 😁
I've always got by with freelance, but I've built a niche in YouTube 3D, and a lot of my clients are struggling with profitability at the moment so there's less work.
I'm really in need of some good connections. I think I'm skilled? You're free to disagree 😅. Feedback is nice.
Anyway here's my portfolio and let's see if anything comes from it.

It's always (more than) a little embarrassing to come out and say "Hey, you know what I'm actually not very financially ok right now. I'm not very successful, despite my best efforts."
I have a WILD goal to build sustaining income from 3D asset creation, trainings, and work on my game when there's time. I have no shortage of effort to give.
That stability and self reliance has eluded me for years. Which has been discouraging at times! To say the least.
I've learned not to force it, but the goal is still here. This is my plea. I don't make it often!
Client work is great, and I take it whenever I get the chance. If you can support, I appreciate that. I'm doing what I can to make it worth your while.
I'm equally appreciative to any feedback you've got.
It's embarrassing, but I don't want it to be. You have to start somewhere. My startup is just many years running with this bizarre and backwards career path I've had.
I don't really fit in with the big dogs at studios, and I've found it hard bringing myself to charge money for something that's always been given to me so freely (learning, community, etc).
So I turn to donations and optional support instead!
That's all! Thanks for letting my words hold you hostage.😅 Please consider supporting my work, sharing, or offering feedback.

Guys, I think I invented the most inefficient but fun way to make 3D textures 😄

New blog post where I show how we're doing painterly shadows for Overgrown!! 🦝 🧊 💡
Have you ever dreamed of painterly shadows for stylized 3D scenes? With Simon's setup for OVERGROWN, it is now a reality.
