Blender 5.0 <\/a>has entered its release candidate stage, signalling that the open-source 3D suite is only days away from full release. The RC phase runs until 18 November 2025, after which the final build will be issued if no critical bugs emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s coming? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Among the major changes are full integration of the ACES <\/a>1.3 and 2.0 colour management systems, giving artists more accurate tone-mapping and consistent colour handling across production pipelines. Cycles receives additional rendering refinements, improving sampling performance and light path accuracy. The Compositor gains expanded node functionality and faster feedback, while Geometry Nodes continue to grow with broader procedural modelling capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
