just a quick note, for the “ask confirmation” option in the user prefs, it would be great to actually have it in the UI as a third choice:
-yes
-no
-yes and don’t ask for confirmation anymore (that would set the option in user prefs and save them)
It would then work like in other programs and allow people to use this nice modification without knowing where to find it.
Yes, I also thought of that, it would be much better, but have not started looking into it.
OK, so i found a bug… don’t know if it’s relevant though (tested also on other builds, even 2.76RC1; all are OK).
- Rendering with Cycles GPU seems to have a cap on transparency, bounces (got all set on 160).
Example:
Thanks, will look into it. Don’t know what could be the cause, maybe my CUDA compiler setup is wrong, never tested it because I only have a CUDA card on my linux system.
Hi,
since the new version (2.76 stable) version is out, are you planning on a new build or do you have other plans?
Hi, I have been very busy this last week with a client’s project. I will try to have a new build by the weekend.
Ok, uploaded new version.
There are some issues:
Windows version is still compiled with scons, not cmake like official version.
Linux seems to miss some opensubdiv backends (GLSL)

@ fjuhec
- How to install Patch on Linux version Blender 2.76b - 5 November 2015 ?
-Custom Blender Build with CUDA?
(They have contain the pre compiled CUDA Kernel and you do not need install CUDA toolkit and heavy dependencies).
"excuses me for my bad english, I am french "
@serviteur, the patch have to be applied to the source and compiled.
If you want to compile a custom blender with the CUDA kernel you need to have the CUDA toolkit installed.
PS: I noticed the compiled versions on box are unavailable again, I will look for alternatives that don’t have such bandwidth limits.
Hi, the great majestic one!
Congratulations on hooking me with what became my favorite ‘official build’.
Can’t imagine working without these ‘dirty hacks’.
:evilgrin:
Loving it.
With appreciation.
And at last, thankfully hopeful, that new build will follow after the final 2.77 release :eyebrowlift:
Hi,

Let me know if you have any issues.
Hi fjuhec,
Thank you for the new builds. Could you make a github or provide a patch on developer.blender.org?
I have been thinking on creating a github repo.
Good news
I’m new to Blender, not to modeling though (Maya User, Expanding Knowledge Base). Just wanted to say Thank You for your efforts in making a little insignificant check box to toggle off the cursor. I know the curser is an UBER tool, I am just not ready for that kind of power yet (as far as Blender goes) and found the cursor to be a bit of a Bain instead of a Boone to my learning Blender. For this you have made my love of Blender Blossom and for that I am extremely grateful!
So far, your build is working as smoothly as Polygon Butter.
Thanks @Pyr!
NEWS:
Just updated the build with 2.77a and added https://developer.blender.org/D113 to my modifications.
Hope nothing breaks, have not had time to test it thoroughly but I plan to do so with the Mitsuba plugin soon.
Let me know if there are any issues?
Also, I uploaded the files to a new site of mine in case box reaches it’s download limit.
http://www.pigeoncode.org/downloads/
Finally, if anyone has a small patch or feature he fears will never be accepted on official blender build, let me know and maybe I can include it.
Cheers!
