Blender 2.8 What's New?

  

Viewport

The old viewport was lagging, but now not anymore! because Blender 2.8 brings the minimum Open GL version to 3.3, with even newer hardware compatible.

EEVEE

A new render system, EEVEE is a fully-featured PBR (physically based-rendering) engine for real-time visualization. With advanced features such as volumetrics, screen-space reflections and refractions, subsurface scattering, soft and contact shadows, post-processing effects such as ambient occlusion, depth of field, camera motion blur and bloom, to name a few.

2D Animation

Blender’s 2D drawing capabilities have been greatly improved with 2.8. The new Grease Pencil focus is to create a more friendly interface for the 2D artist, while keeping the advantages of having a full 3D suite underneath. 

Grease Pencil is no longer just a stroke, it’s now a real Blender object with huge improvements to brushes and tools.

Organization

Gone is the limit of 20 layers per scene. Blender 2.8 introduces a new concept to organize your scene with Collections and View Layers.

In order to ease the management of Collections, filtering in the Outliner has been improved.

Workspaces will allow users to build up their working environment for a specific task. For example there could be workspaces for modeling, sculpting, animation and motion tracking.

UI

Blender 2.8 has new UI that will make new user more compatible using it
