Blender 4.3 introduces several important features and improvements across various areas of the software. Some key highlights include:
Grease Pencil: The Grease Pencil engine has been completely rewritten for better performance and to remove deeper limitations. New features include Layer Groups for easier organization of layers and Fill Gradient tools for modifying fill gradients directly in Edit Mode. The eraser tool is also improved for better handling of intersections and transparency.
Brushes: Brushes are now treated as assets, allowing for better management, customization, and sharing across projects via the Asset Browser. This makes it easier to organize and access custom brush libraries.
User Interface Enhancements: A new "Area Docking" feature allows users to detach areas into separate windows or dock them back into the workspace. Tooltips now provide more detailed information, including previews for fonts and images, and there are new options for customizing tooltips for accessibility.
Performance and Usability Improvements: Several new features have been added for a smoother experience, such as optional stroke stabilization for Lasso tools and better handling of Sculpt masks.
Sculpt Mode: Updates include new brush options, improved mask operators, and a more streamlined workflow for working with assets and brushes.
