Blender 2.48: It isn't all about play
Blender 2.48 is the latest version of the the open source Blender 3D suite to be released by the Blender Foundation. The suite is designed to allow users to model, render and animate 3D scenes. Blender also offers a game design mode and fuelled by the development of the Yo Frankie game, most of the changes in the present revision affect the game engine. Blender updates are often driven by particular projects; most of Blender 2.46's new features were also driven by the needs of the 3D short animation Big Buck Bunny.
Blender 2.48's game engine offers improved level design and better games logic editing. Logic components can now be grouped in "logic states" between which the game can switch seamlessly during operation. The physics simulation now uses the Bullet Physics library for modeling soft bodies. The fluid simulation controls and the functionality of the "wind" force field were also enhanced.
