While the Blender 5.0 3D modeling software is being released next month, there is already exciting changes to look forward to with Blender 5.1 in the new year. Beyond AMD HIP-RT ray-tracing by default in Blender 5.1, this follow-on Blender release is also planning on enabling Vulkan API support by default.

During this week's Blender Viewport and EEVEE meeting, the developers reaffirmed plans to switch to Vulkan by default for Blender 5.1. Blender 5.1 stable is expected in mid-March while now through early February is the alpha period followed by the month long beta period.

The upcoming Blender 5.0 3D modeling software application is introducing High Dynamic Range (HDR) display support on Linux when making use of Wayland -- no X11 support for HDR -- and Vulkan graphics accelerator.

• My profile picture is the low resolution 50x50 pixel animated version of this scene
• I used the default cube, inset its faces, deleted them, and used the solidify modifier on it, to create the green "scaffold" cube.
• I put a rotating animated cube inside it, with a glowing blue material.
• used sun to throw a rotating shadow on the red floor.
• rendered in cycles renderer.

Started working on this 2 years ago as a bit of a Covid project. Got another fellow to do physics and other non-graphics stuff. The model is about 40% done, with the major chassis and bodywork done, including most of the rigging. The engine, interior and other bits and bobs remain.

Wasn't any content here yet, so I figured I'd share this relatively simple project overview about how to make a real camera in Blender.
