SouthernShotty, a well-known 3D artist and tutorial creator, has released a new video discussing the addition of Vulkan backend support in Blender 4.5, which has recently entered its Beta phase. In case you missed this, Blender now supports Vulkan, a modern graphics API that offers potential benefits in performance.
Blender has been working on transitioning to Vulkan for a while, with its initial release in Blender 4.3 being considered experimental. Blender 4.4 introduced major progress in Vulkan support, and with ongoing development and community involvement, Vulkan has now been fully implemented in Blender 4.5.
In the video, SouthernShotty showcases a comparison between Blender 4.4 and 4.5, illustrating how exactly Vulkan enhances performance. Visit his YouTube channel and watch some of his recent videos below:
