Blender 2.82 comes two and a half months after version 2.81 as the second biggest update to the latest 2.80 series, adding an AI-accelerated Denoiser for Cycles for NVIDIA RTX graphics cards that supports multiple GPUs. The AI Denoiser is built into Blender’s view layer system and outputs great results with low samples. Furthermore, this release introduces the ability to export Pixar’s open-source USD (Universal Scene Description) files, full integration of the UDIM tiled-based UV mapping system, and a new Mantaflow system for creating mind-blowing fire, smoke, liquid, and gas simulations.
