Blender 4.2 is the next LTS release of Blender and for those who would like to get this, you can simply go over to Blender.org, go over to the download section, go all the way down to where you get to find Download Blender Experimental and from here, you'll be able to download Blender 4.2 the beta for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Blender 4.2 是 Blender 的下一個 LTS 版本，想要獲得它的用戶只需訪問 Blender.org，進入下載區，一路向下找到 Download Blender Experimental（下載 Blender 實驗版），然後就能下載 Blender 4.2 測試版的 Windows、Mac 和 Linux 版本了。

And something else you'd also notice is right here, we have different architectures that are available.

你還會注意到，在這裡，我們有不同的架構可供選擇。

So, if you're using the ARM64 chip, you might have to wait for the beta but if you're simply using the x64 chip, then you can simply go ahead and download this right now.

是以，如果你使用的是 ARM64 芯片，你可能需要等待測試版，但如果你使用的是 x64 芯片，那麼你現在就可以直接下載。

And for those who like to see some of the latest changes, you can simply go over to the latest changes section, where you'd also notice that we have the Blender 4.2 LTS and Blender 4.3 seems to currently be in alpha.

如果你想了解一些最新的變化，只需前往最新變化部分，在那裡你還可以看到 Blender 4.2 LTS 和 Blender 4.3 目前似乎還處於 alpha 階段。

And of course, if you simply check that, you'd notice that we literally have nothing, which is just something that is yet to be developed.

當然，如果你簡單地檢查一下，就會發現我們實際上什麼都沒有，這只是一些尚未開發的東西。

Meanwhile, for those who like to see some of the cool updates that are currently available with Blender 4.2 the beta, we're simply going to dive directly into Blender and start exploring them.

與此同時，對於那些想了解 Blender 4.2 測試版目前提供的一些酷炫更新的用戶，我們只需直接進入 Blender 開始探索即可。

So, with Blender 4.2 the beta simply open up right here.

是以，Blender 4.2 測試版就在這裡開放。

The very first thing which you'd notice is we have a wonderful splash screen.

您會注意到的第一件事就是我們有一個精彩的閃屏。

A huge shout out to the folks at Blender Foundation for making this possible and if you're trying to import your preference from Blender 4.1 right here into Blender 4.2, all you need to do right now is to click on Import Blender 4.1 Preference and that will automatically be loaded in.

如果你想將 Blender 4.1 中的偏好設置導入 Blender 4.2，現在只需點擊 "導入 Blender 4.1 偏好設置"，它就會自動加載進來。

But of course, if you like to create your own preference, you can simply set this up and then you can save your new preference.

當然，如果你想創建自己的首選項，也可以簡單地進行設置，然後保存新的首選項。

Now let's talk about the UI, as there's a couple of interesting updates right here with the UI and the very first one you'd notice exists within the status bar.

現在讓我們來談談用戶界面，因為用戶界面上有幾處有趣的更新，而你會注意到的第一處更新就在狀態欄中。

So if you simply go over to the status bar and you right click, you'd notice we've got something called Extension Update.

是以，如果你直接進入狀態欄並點擊右鍵，就會發現我們有一個名為 "擴展更新 "的東西。

And that talks about the extension slash network related icon that is right here.

這裡說的是與擴展斜線網絡相關的圖標。

So if we simply click on that button, this pops up the preference and from here you would notice that we've got a network section.

是以，如果我們點擊該按鈕，就會彈出偏好設置，在這裡你會發現我們有一個網絡部分。

Now this simply allows you either stay online or offline depending on what you want.

現在，您可以根據自己的需要，選擇在線或離線。

Say for example you like to get some of the extensions which we'll talk about in a bit, you can simply allow online access and automatically your Blender can communicate with the online repository of the Blender extensions.

比如說，你想獲得一些擴展功能，我們稍後會講到，你只需允許在線訪問，你的 Blender 就能自動與 Blender 擴展功能的在線資源庫進行通信。

And speaking about the Blender extensions, right now, Blender no longer deals with the word addon as much as you would now notice that instead of having addons here, they are now called extensions.

說到 Blender 擴展，現在 Blender 已經不再使用 addon 這個詞了，你會發現這裡不再使用 addons，而是將其稱為 extensions。

Now within the extension section, right here is where you can find the extensions that deals with both addons and also themes.

現在，在擴展部分，你可以找到擴展插件和主題。

As at this point, if you would like to work with the themes or the addons, you can simply go over to the extension platform and download them directly or you can simply download them from here.

此時此刻，如果你想使用這些主題或附加組件，可以直接前往擴展平臺下載，也可以直接從這裡下載。

But for those who don't know about this, if you go over to the link in the description it's going to bring you right here where you can download these extensions and work with them.

不過，對於那些不瞭解的人來說，如果你點擊說明中的鏈接，就可以在這裡下載這些擴展程序並使用它們。

Right now if you would like to download say for example a theme, we can go over to the theme which you would like to download, probably the Midnight Blue and we can simply click on Get Theme.

現在，如果你想下載一個主題，我們可以點擊你想下載的主題，可能是午夜藍，然後點擊獲取主題。

This wasn't working before, the same romanticized idea they had, but with this new update it is now working.

這在以前是行不通的，他們的想法也是如此浪漫，但隨著新版本的更新，現在已經行得通了。

And how you get this to work is very simple.

如何實現這一功能非常簡單。

Drag this over here, click, drag and drop right into Blender and automatically you can now set it as your current theme.

把這個拖到這裡，點擊，拖放到 Blender 中，然後自動將其設置為當前主題。

The same thing happens with all of the other addons as well.

同樣的情況也發生在所有其他插件上。

Say for example you would like to install any of the addons that exist, you can go over to the addon section, go over to the specific addon that you want, in this case we're going to look at the Light Painter, we can click on Get Addon and to install that is also pretty easy.

舉例來說，如果你想安裝任何現有的插件，你可以進入插件部分，找到你想要的特定插件，在這種情況下，我們要看的是 "光繪器"，我們可以點擊 "獲取插件"，安裝也非常簡單。

Click, drag and drop.

點擊、拖放

And I kind of think that this is one cool thing that is going to be happening with Blender moving forward.

我認為這將是 Blender 未來發展中的一件很酷的事情。

Now for those who prefer to just simply install within Blender, you can simply go through search for the addon that you want and install it.

現在，對於那些喜歡在 Blender 中直接安裝的用戶來說，只需通過搜索找到想要的插件並安裝即可。

Now for you to install addons the same way you know how to install, how you get to do this is pretty simple as if you go over to extension, there is one more step which has to do with clicking on this button and installing from disk.

現在，你可以用同樣的方法安裝附加組件，安裝方法非常簡單，只要點擊 "擴展"，還有一步就是點擊這個按鈕，然後從磁盤安裝。

So instead of that gigantic install button that we regularly have, you now have to click on this tiny drop down and then install from disk.

是以，你現在必須點擊這個小下拉菜單，然後從磁盤安裝，而不是像我們平時那樣點擊那個巨大的安裝按鈕。

And of course if you have repositories, you can also go ahead and add your own repositories right here.

當然，如果你有軟件倉庫，也可以在這裡添加自己的軟件倉庫。

There's also a few other things that you might need to know.

您可能還需要知道其他一些事情。

If we go over to the Teams section, I'm just simply going to go back and revert to the previous .team that we have with Blender and with Blender 4.2 you can create and save your own teams.

在 Blender 4.2 中，你可以創建並保存自己的團隊。

And to do that is pretty simple.

要做到這一點非常簡單。

If we click on the plus button and we define our team to be 0-1 for example, we can have that and we can simply go ahead and have that selected.

如果我們點擊 "加號 "按鈕，並將我們的球隊定義為 0-1 這樣的比分，我們就可以選擇這樣的比分。

So at this point if there's any changes that we would like to do, we can proceed to make those changes and once we're ready, we can click on the save button and save this team.

是以，此時如果有任何需要修改的地方，我們可以繼續進行修改，一旦準備就緒，我們就可以點擊保存按鈕，保存這個團隊。

And still speaking about the UI, if we simply go ahead and go to the file section, if we go down to where we have Open Recent, we can now simply right click.

說到用戶界面，如果我們直接進入文件部分，找到 "打開最近"，然後點擊右鍵即可。

So the Open Recent now supports a context menu that allows you to go over to the file location of the file that you're trying to open.

是以，"最近打開 "現在支持上下文菜單，允許你轉到要打開的文件的文件位置。

So for example, if we like to open up the Bagger03 file, we can right click and we can go directly to the file location.

例如，如果我們想打開 Bagger03 文件，可以右擊並直接轉到文件位置。

There's also this beautiful new update and it has to do with exporting all collections.

還有一個漂亮的新更新，與導出所有收藏有關。

You might be wondering what this is.

你可能想知道這是什麼。

So imagine you have several stuff on your viewport and you'd like to export this as individual files.

想象一下，您的視口中有幾個東西，您想將它們導出為單獨的文件。

So instead of selecting this and going over to file, go over to export, export this as a lembic, export this as collater, all of that, what you can now do is simple.

是以，你現在可以做的很簡單，而不是選擇這個，然後轉到文件，轉到導出，將其導出為列印文本，將其導出為拼版。

You can go over to the collections section and you can select any of these objects, click on the plus sign and select the file format you would like to export this.

您可以轉到 "收藏 "部分，選擇其中任何一個對象，點擊加號，然後選擇要導出的文件格式。

Maybe we would like to export this as a lembic and maybe we would like to export this as

也許我們想將其導出為列姆比特，也許我們想將其導出為

FBX and possibly we would like to export this as STL.

FBX，可能的話，我們希望將其導出為 STL。

So once you've got all of that, you can now go ahead and click on the export all button.

完成所有操作後，就可以點擊 "全部導出 "按鈕了。

You would also notice that the individual file format that you have selected, there are properties right here.

你還會注意到，你所選擇的文件格式在這裡都有屬性。

So this is quite robust.

是以，這個功能相當強大。

You can now select all of these and export them all at once.

現在，您可以選擇所有這些內容，並一次全部導出。

And at the same time, you can do the same thing by going over to file and exporting all collections.

同時，你也可以通過文件導出所有收藏集來完成同樣的操作。

And that's not all.

這還不是全部。

If you also go all the way down to where we have the cleanup, you'd notice that this has now been condensed.

如果你還能一直往下看到我們的清理工作，你會發現現在已經濃縮了。

So instead of having a bit more of a longer list, like what we have for 4.1, you would now notice that the purged unused data is right here.

是以，你現在會發現，被清除的未使用數據就在這裡，而不是像 4.1 版那樣有一個更長的列表。

You can also manage unused data as well.

您還可以管理未使用的數據。

So if we click on that, you would notice we've got some stuff and we can choose to delete them.

是以，如果我們點擊它，你會發現我們有一些東西，我們可以選擇刪除它們。

And speaking about unused data, there's a bit of a renaming that has been done within the outliner.

說到未使用的數據，在大綱器中進行了一些重新命名。

So if we go over to the outliner, if we click on the filter section, we can now filter unused data.

是以，如果我們轉到outliner，點擊 "過濾器 "部分，現在就可以過濾未使用的數據了。

This was previously named often data, but right now it is now called unused data.

這以前被稱為經常數據，但現在被稱為未使用數據。

Moving on, you would also be able to search for stuff within the outliner once you hit

繼續往下看，一旦按下

CTRL and F on your keyboard.

鍵盤上的 CTRL 和 F。

This is now something you can do on the fly.

現在，您可以隨心所欲地進行操作。

And speaking about things you can now do on the fly, if we have this object selected and we go over to the modifier, there is a beautiful pin-in that exists.

說到你現在可以做的事情，如果我們選中了這個對象，然後轉到修改器，就會出現一個漂亮的釘入效果。

So in this case, if we simply go over to the modifier, for example, if we do a simple subdivision and then we proceed to do a simple wireframe, you'd notice that the wireframe goes down while the subsurface stays up.

是以，在這種情況下，如果我們直接進入修改器，例如，如果我們做一個簡單的細分，然後再做一個簡單的線框，你會發現線框在下降，而次表層在上升。

But what if we like this to constantly stay down?

但是，如果我們希望它一直保持低位呢？

How we can work with this is pretty interesting.

我們如何利用這一點非常有趣。

So at this point, if you click, you can go here and pin to last.

是以，此時，如果您點擊一下，就可以轉到這裡，並將其固定到最後。

And what is technically going to tell it is stay there every time, all the time.

而從技術上講，要告訴它的是，每次、每次都要呆在那裡。

So from here, we can choose to go over there and throw in the wireframe and we start getting some interesting results.

在這裡，我們可以選擇去那邊，然後把線框扔進去，這樣就能得到一些有趣的結果。

We can also click again and go down and add another wireframe and we start getting some interesting results.

我們還可以再次點擊，向下添加另一個線框，這樣就能得到一些有趣的結果。

The same thing can be done for almost everything that we've got.

我們幾乎所有的東西都可以這樣做。

We can also go ahead and throw in a little bit of a solidified right there and we can have that and we can actually crank this up depending on what we want.

我們還可以在這裡加一點凝固劑，這樣我們就可以根據自己的需要把它調高。

If we'd like the wireframe to also go all the way down, we can click and pin to last as well.

如果我們想讓線框一直向下延伸，也可以點擊並固定到最後。

So the pin to last just simply pins this hierarchically and depending on what you want to remain on the base, you can pin it and keep it there.

是以，"固定到最後 "只是簡單地將其分層固定，根據你想要保留在底層的內容，你可以將其固定並保留在那裡。

There's a couple of updates that also deals with text as well.

還有一些更新也涉及到文本。

And of course, for those who work with cameras, there's a tiny update that we've got here.

當然，對於使用相機的用戶來說，我們還提供了一個小更新。

So with Blender 4.1, we did see a very interesting update that has to do with the locking.

是以，在 Blender 4.1 中，我們確實看到了一個與鎖定有關的非常有趣的更新。

And you know, I was super excited about this one when it came out, but right now there is a very tiny update I think a lot of you guys may love.

要知道，這款產品剛問世時，我還超級興奮，但現在有了一個很小的更新，我想你們很多人可能會喜歡。

And one of them has to do with the fact that we can turn on and off camera guides.

其中一個原因是，我們可以打開或關閉攝影機導引器。

And the second one, which was promised to come to 4.2, which isn't here yet, but I think there's an implementation which hasn't been updated to the build, is the camera passpartout.

第二項功能是相機傳出，它曾被承諾將在 4.2 版本中出現，但現在還沒有出現，但我認為有一種實現方式還沒有更新到版本中。

So the camera passpartout in viewport overlay is supposed to be here, but at this point, this is something that we don't have with the current build.

是以，視口疊加中的相機傳出應該在這裡，但目前的版本還沒有這個功能。

And hopefully, I do believe that this is going to be coming with the final release of Blender 4.2.

我相信，在 Blender 4.2 最終發佈時，這一切將有望實現。

Now, here's another interesting update for cameras.

現在，我們為您介紹另一個有趣的相機更新。

So if you're using a camera inside of Blender, you can now play with the depth of field by simply selecting the focus distance.

是以，如果你在 Blender 中使用相機，現在只需選擇對焦距離，就能玩轉景深。

Previously, what we could work with was just simply selecting the object you would like to focus on and we can crank this up and down, you know, just go to town with that.

在此之前，我們只需選擇想要聚焦的對象，然後就可以上下調節，你知道，就是這麼簡單。

And for those who like to explore this, how you can work with this is pretty simple.

對於那些喜歡探索的人來說，如何使用它非常簡單。

I'm going to select the camera, press 0 on the keyboard, just to lock that in.

我要選擇攝像頭，按鍵盤上的 0 來鎖定。

And from here, let's actually hit home to have a full view of what we're doing.

從這裡開始，讓我們真正回家，全面瞭解我們正在做的事情。

Then we can simply go right here and we're going to turn on the depth of field.

然後，我們就可以在這裡打開景深。

Now with this, once you turn on depth of field, you have two options.

現在，一旦開啟景深功能，您有兩個選擇。

The option to either do the focus on the object by simply selecting this and then, you know, can go ahead and crank the f-stop depending on where you want to get or you can use the focus distance.

只需選擇這個選項，就可以對物體進行對焦，然後，你知道，可以根據你想要的焦距來調節光圈，或者使用對焦距離。

You probably noticed that the minute we selected this, this went silent.

你可能注意到了，當我們選擇這個選項時，它就消失了。

So we'll close that.

那我們就把它關閉了。

We can now have this selected.

現在我們可以選擇這個。

And from here, we can select the distance we would like to focus.

在這裡，我們可以選擇想要對焦的距離。

If we have this selected and we tap on this, you notice we have more depth there and the same thing happens.

如果我們選擇了這個，然後點擊這個，你會發現我們在這裡有了更多的深度，同樣的事情也會發生。

So if we have this selected and we select that, things like that.

是以，如果我們選擇了這個，又選擇了那個，諸如此類。

Now the difference between these two is, instead of having an armature that you have to animate, which has the focus, you can actually animate this property.

現在，這兩者的區別在於，你可以對這個屬性進行動畫操作，而不是對一個具有焦點的糹進行動畫操作。

And this is just one of those cool things that comes with the camera.

這只是相機自帶的酷功能之一。

Blender 4.2 also comes with some updates for icons and some of them will be very visible within the status bar.

Blender 4.2 還對圖標進行了更新，其中一些圖標在狀態欄中非常明顯。

And one of the examples, if we simply flip up Blender 4.1, you would notice that by default, if we go over to Select and let's say we would like to search for something, we are being urged to press the spacebar to search.

其中一個例子是，如果我們翻開 Blender 4.1，你會發現默認情況下，如果我們轉到 "選擇 "頁面，比方說我們想搜索某個內容，系統會提示我們按空格鍵來搜索。

And currently, that is a text.

目前，這是一個文本。

So if you simply hit the spacebar, you can type in the word Pattern and you're going to find some stuff that has to do with Select Pattern.

是以，只要點擊空格鍵，輸入 "模式 "一詞，就能找到一些與 "選擇模式 "有關的內容。

But for Blender 4.2, this now has an icon.

但在 Blender 4.2 中，這個功能現在有了一個圖標。

So if you click, you get to see that icon that simply specifies Search.

是以，如果你點擊，就會看到一個簡單註明 "搜索 "的圖標。

And in this case, if we would like to search things that has to do with Word Linked, we can type that in and of course, we're going to get that.

在這種情況下，如果我們想搜索與 Word Linked 相關的內容，我們可以鍵入這些內容，當然，我們就會得到這些內容。

And this happens for every single menu that you select.

您選擇的每個菜單都會出現這種情況。

And in terms of icons, you'll probably find more icons in Blender 4.2 and also, most of these icons are now properly aligned compared to what we have with Blender 4.1.

在圖標方面，你可能會在 Blender 4.2 中發現更多的圖標，而且與 Blender 4.1 中的圖標相比，這些圖標中的大部分現在都已正確對齊。

And within the Sculpting section, some updates are now here.

雕刻部分也有一些更新。

If we go over to the Sculpt menu, you'll notice that the Sculpt Transform has now been condensed contrary to what we had with previous versions of Blender.

如果我們轉到雕刻菜單，你會發現雕刻變換（Sculpt Transform）與之前版本的 Blender 截然不同，現在已經濃縮了。

There's a Show and Hide which seems to be shrinked as well.

還有一個顯示和隱藏功能，似乎也縮小了。

And there's also the Trim add, which also has a bit of a shrinking.

此外，"Trim add "也有一定程度的萎縮。

So these are some updates that we've got there.

這些就是我們的一些更新。

And in terms of the tools themselves, here are some interesting things that I think a lot of you guys may love, depending on how much stuff you get to slice in Blender and how frequently you want to slice them.

就工具本身而言，這裡有一些有趣的東西，我想很多人都會喜歡，這取決於你在 Blender 中能切割多少東西，以及你想要切割的頻率有多高。

Now within the Mask, the Height, the Trim and also the Facet, there are two new similar tools across all of them.

現在，在 "蒙版"、"高度"、"修剪 "和 "切面 "中，都有兩個新的類似工具。

And if you click and hold, you would see it.

如果點擊並按住，就能看到它。

Polyline Mask and also the Line Mask.

多重直線遮罩和直線遮罩。

And the same thing appears with the Trim.

同樣的情況也出現在修剪上。

There's the Line Trim, the Polyline Trim.

有直線修剪和折線修剪。

And also for the Height, there's the Line and also the Polyline.

在高度方面，有直線和折線。

And of course, the same thing is also here for the Facet.

當然，Facet 也是如此。

And how this works is very simple.

其工作原理非常簡單。

So for example, if we simply go over to the Line, we can click and drag and we can simply trim that.

例如，我們只需轉到 "線"，點擊並拖動，就可以對其進行修剪。

So this way, we can trim the whole chunk of it.

這樣，我們就可以修剪整塊內容了。

If this is what we want to do, let's undo that.

如果這就是我們想要做的，那就把它取消吧。

And say for example, we'd like to trim the ears, we can get that.

比如說，我們想修剪耳朵，我們就能做到。

And this is pretty explanatory.

這就很好解釋了。

But for sure, if you like to use the Polyline, this is where things become a little bit more interesting.

但可以肯定的是，如果你喜歡使用 "折線"，事情就會變得更加有趣。

So for the Polyline, just like the name implies, you need to click, click, click, click and click.

是以，對於多段線來說，顧名思義，你需要點擊、點擊、點擊、再點擊。

And finally, you need to close it.

最後，你需要關閉它。

So once you close that, this trims it all the way out.
