  • The initial release will center on sculpting and basic object manipulation, with Grease Pencil and storyboarding tools planned for future updates.
  • UI mockups reveal a single-window workflow using floating panels, wheel menus and contextual overlays tailored to multitouch and stylus use.
  • A live tech demo will debut at SIGGRAPH 2025 in Vancouver, to be followed by design workshops at Blender HQ in Amsterdam and sessions at Blender Conference 2025.
