Key New Features Introduced in R25 (Retained in 25.117)

  1. The New UI and Cappuccino Color Scheme: R25 marked the most significant interface change in a decade. The new modern, dark-themed UI reduces eye strain and offers customizable layouts.
  2. Command Palette (Shift + C): A spotlight-style search bar that lets you find and execute any function, tool, or script instantly. This dramatically speeds up workflow, eliminating the need to memorize complex menu hierarchies.
  3. Scene Manager/Scene Nodes (Preview): While originally introduced as a foundational change for future versions, R25 included a robust preview of the new scene nodes system, allowing for procedural non-destructive modeling.
  4. Placement Tools: Enhanced snapping and alignment tools for precise object placement.
  5. Improved Caps and Bevels: More robust rounding of extruded text and splines.

2. Redshift & The Node Editor

By R25.117, Redshift was fully integrated as the default GPU render engine (CPU fallback included). The Node Editor became truly usable, allowing for "Physical" rendering and "Standard" rendering to be mixed via nodes. Studio users got unlimited render nodes and the ability to create complex shaders without coding.
