I’m excited to try the EEVEE shadow terminator control, i had some problems with this previously.
Also, it seems they added the possibility to search for the name of property instead of the name of the node itself in node editors (for example, searching “Add” will show “Converter -> Math -> Add” instead of nothing). I admit that i frequently searched for the math operations instead of just math, and this will be way simpler for me now.
I kinda feel you, tbf the shadow terminator i like to see solved was introduced by the new EEVEE version not so long ago. Blender is indeed like an entangled ball of wool with threads going in every direction, so it gets frustrating some times. But on the plus side, you can do many many things with it !
This 4.5 is a long term release, so maybe it’ll be the one that works out the bugs that bugs you !
God i hope so! I will try it out eventually, I think im on 4.2, so Im not far behind. I stayed on 2.9 for the longest time, and I think 2 years ago, I jumped to like 3.6, and then 4.1, and then 4.2, it was a big jump for me.
