Real time cloth system specializes in good looking wrinkles and excellent quality collisions; fully integrated in the modifier stack for seamless interaction with the rest of the character animation tools

The Displace modifier displaces vertices in a mesh based on the intensity of a texture, showing the results in realtime

The softbody solver has been improved. Better collision and rigidity options allow for a much greater range of effects, even to the point of emulating cloth to some extent

Meshes can have multiple UV and vertex color layers. A typical use of multiple UV layers would be to have one manually mapped layer for painting textures, and another automatically for baking

The UV Project modifier projects a UV-mapped image onto the base mesh as if from a slide projector. It does this by altering the base mesh's UV coordinates as though they were projected onto the object by one or more projector objects

The modifier stack has been upgraded to remove the "original data" constraint. Modifiers can now be in any order in the modifier stack

Blender's render pipeline supports rendering to UV texturemaps; ambient occlusion, normals, textures and full render can be baked

Mesh objects with UV co-ordinates can be saved in a render pass, and used in the Compositor as input to remap textures. ID Mask node converts a number from an Object Index pass to an anti-aliased alpha mask

For node materials, the Geometry node contains a Vertex Color name field to access non active vertex color layers

Sculpt is a mode for editing Mesh objects. Unlike Edit Mode, the model's shape is manipulated with various brushes, rather than by editing individual vertices, edges, and faces.

Multires meshes store multiple levels of subdivision. In contrast to the Subsurf modifier, any level of subdivision can be edited. These changes are then propagated to all the other subdivision levels
