Blender Developer Sneak Peeks
Starting early 2014, Thomas Beck (BFCT & Blender developer) shows you in his "Blender Developer Sneak Peek" video series once a week new blender features that are currently in development. Over time, many of the features found in this release were topics in the show and can be watched now everytime you like in HD.
Below you'll find all videos, starting with the newest one.

In this episode: Tabs everywhere :) The new numinput changes from Bastian Montagne, an awesome mask option by Campbell and many cool presets in the movie clip editor (for iphone, gopro...)
#8 - Clamping, Sewing, Volumetrics & Booleans
In this episode: A welcomed addition to Cycles by Thomas Dinges: direct and indirect clamping, sewing cloth parts by the new sewing seams feature by Jez, better booleans by Sergey and a new volumetrics sampling algorithm that produces less noise...
