Hi eccentric3D ,
Maybe some Fundamentals will get updated. Furthermore new Courses will use more recent Versions, but updating all Courses would prevent new Courses to be made and to what Version should they be updated?
You talk about it, like 4.0 and 4.1 are mostly the same, but look at a small taste of the state of 4.1 at the moment:
Completely different from 4.0 already. Blender evolves too fast to update all tutorials.
Yeah I agree, Blender development moves too fast to catch up. In the time it takes to completely produce a course, Blender has changed yet again already, it's the sad nature of the beast. It would be ideal if courses could be updated as fast as Blender, but that is too difficult to achieve. That said, it comes a time when a course is too behind that needs to get updated, but some major Blender changes are needed to justify the production time and cost.
Yeah, I agree with what has already been said. Last time I looked The developers had feature list planned out until 2028, and they have already added some new stuff put out by Pixar to the list. They are also in the early planning phase for some features that should carry out to 203X. So, don't expect Blender to slowdown on adding new features anytime soon.
I suggested this elsewhere, so repeating, but it seems to me that it would be helpful if each course noted the version of Blender it was written for or was dated so as students we could be then be aware of inaccuracies or discrepancies we may expect to encounter and do further research on our own. I understand that most of the base data is accurate still valid and very helpful. thx
I totally agree with you in that regard. They used to mention the Blender Version used, in the description of each Course. Now you'll just have to watch a little bit and look at the UI....it always tells you the Blender Version used, either on the top middle (old Blender) or at the bottom right.
There's videos that get posted on YouTube when there's a new version out, recounting all that was introduced, those might help a bit:
