The popular Conform Object add-on just got a major update, introducing an experimental modifier for Blender 4.5 and beyond.

-Geometry Nodes–based modifier (Blender 4.5+)
-Faster performance on dense meshes
-Fully non-destructive, works in the modifier stack
-No more hidden helper grids
-Same features as the operator, now modifier-driven
-Enable via Preferences → Add-ons → “Go Experimental” → Add Conform Object Modifier
-Free update for existing users. Feedback on the new modifier + lattice support is welcome.

AMD has launched FidelityFX SDK 2.0, now including FSR 4 (ML-based upscaling) and upgraded FSR 3.1.5 frame generation, plus a new Unreal Engine 5 plugin for seamless integration (UE 5.1–5.6). The SDK serves as a foundation for future neural-rendering technologies such as FSR Redstone, and supports automatic driver-driven updates via Adrenalin Edition. FSR 4 (v4.0.2) delivers clearer detail and better temporal stability compared to FSR 3.1, especially on particle effects. Requires DirectX 12 on Windows 10+, and Radeon RX 9000 Series GPUs for FSR 4.

Marvelous Designer 2025.1 adds Off-Avatar 3D Pen Drawing: letting you sketch pattern parts directly onto the 3D avatar and flatten them into 2D, soft-body simulation for unrigged characters/props, a beta AI Pose Generator (via text or reference image), and a new Denim Wet Wash effect for realistic material variation. It also preserves topology during auto-fitting and introduces a wizard-driven Pattern Drafter (beta) for T-shirts.
