I am working on another update covering plans for the future of Armory. The engine has started to grow way faster than I anticipated - super excited to reveal what’s next!

Please keep the bug reports coming.

Awesome!!! Pure love!

[Kiwy2458]

Oh man that’s soooo cool!!! Thank you so much for all your awesome work!

[tomoprime]

Wow cool, didn’t know there was a 0.4a update out. Thanks!

[ktk]

Congrats armory moving on with lightspeed as usual great journey big up

[Cobra]

Awesome @lubos Any chance to have 32-bit builds ?

[tipforeveryone]

I have heard about this engine since 2 days. I tried and felt in love immediately. Good job!

[imperfectlink]

Amazing introduction! Are there any plans for AR and VR?

[tomoprime]

There is a 0.4B out now? What changed? Thanks.

[NothanUmber]

Awesome! Thanks for the Tensorflow integration!

[unidaystudio]

That’s amazing!

For all of you guys that speaks in portuguese: I’m from Brazil and I’m already creating some videos teaching Armory3D! Take a look (if you speak Portuguese, of course! ).

Announcing the Engine:

Introducting the engine (almost 1 hour tutorial covering the basic stuff):

Those videos already have a growing view count and the brazilian community are enjoying a lot the engine! I’m planning to create more tutorials and series about. I’m very excited!

[gleam]

Amazing work! I’ll be waiting with bated breath to see how this develops!

Hola blender armory 0.5 cuando sale

[Josetjtj123]

Hello blender armory 0.5 when it comes out

[HeadClot]

I do not know when 0.5 comes out. @lubos Any news on that?

[MadMinstrel]

It’s pointless to nag Lubos about dates. It’s not like 0.5 or 0.6 or 0.7 will suddenly make Armory production-ready. It’s in alpha and progressing really nicely. Just enjoy the ride, it’s going to take a while
