[Blender 🔶 @Blender]

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!

if you work in blender and also unreal engine you can try my new blender addon for free. I made it for years but decided to step back and let the AI finish it. It's not a revolutionary addon, but it can help me

I finally released an addon that helped me personally, I decided to finish it off with AI. It's free, very cleverly calculates seams.
At the same time, it is very easy to export to UE also for skeletal mesh, straight with animations, no problems around. Ex https://t.co/QZurV7jjU0

1-Click Unreal Engine 5 FBX Exporter — Proper units, baked transforms, zero-scale clamping, and frame-0 animation synchronization.
Still in development, it's not perfect but helpful yes
