Blender 4.5 LTS: Vulkan Backend, Faster Renders, Smoother Viewport, Two-Year Support VIDEO
Blender 4.5 LTS has landed and it’s a crowd pleaser. The long awaited Vulkan backend is now considered stable, unlocking smoother viewport performance and future proof graphics across Eevee, OpenXR, and more. Under the hood you’ll find faster dependency graph builds, multithreaded shader compilation, speedier textures and liquid sims, plus fresh Geometry Nodes tricks and subtle UI polish like HiDPI cursors and pen tilt support on Linux. With two full years of maintenance ahead, 4.5 is the perfect pit stop before Blender 5.0.https://thisweekinlinux.com/320
