Let's go over everything that's new and improved in Blender 2.81! From interface tweaks to Eevee improvements and a complete sculpting overhaul, there's a lot to cover. Dive in early and come prepared with questions (post below if you want to make sure I hit them) or just grab some popcorn and get a heads up on what to expect for whenever you update.

Hello Rita! How are things?
Hi everybuddy. It is 9:23 pm here in Ireland. Cooking now
It's funny how much time he had to devote to pointing out that the remesher isn't a "retopology" tool...that seemed intuitive to me but apparently some people have been disappointed by it
Yeah Pablo goes into the technical side of his tools in his presentation, still interesting stuff there
They definitely won't kill off dynamic topology, but I did watch Pablo's presentation and it makes sense that it's slower with a lot of the new brushes and such
I have not seen that one yet, I'll put it on my list!
That's pretty interesting; you think if it keeps improving they'll kill dyntopo completely?
Apparently sculpting in general but especially the new tools, work much faster with dyntopo disabled.
He mentioned during the video that since he started using some of the new tools he only rarely uses dyntopo anymore, and that was really interesting to me
Jonathan did you happen to watch Julien Kaspar's sculpt session from the blender conference?
