here is a link to the downloads make sure your downloading 2.8 and not the 2.79 release 
https://builder.blender.org/download/

site is getting bombarded .. be patient.. 

edit : err I guess i should say how to load the blender.  There is no installer at this point.  Just unzip the file and put it wherever you want and open the folder and look for the blender Icon and click it to start the software.  https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/d026f166-c215-4674-aa9a-e280.png

Thank you UrbanLab. I admit that it's very attractive. I will give it a try waiting an eventual Reallusion Iclone roadmap....

Oh your welcome you have to admit if your a 3d nerd like i am that it looks interesting.  The work they did on the speed with intel and the cycles usage of any processing power on your pc pushes it into the realm of usable for a one man band for some cycles things.    Its easy and built into the software. 

Although i am more into 2d right now cause i am working on improving drawing etc this is a huge gift for artists.

The interface changes are going to negate a lot of the negative attitudes people have towards blender. It is looking great!

Curious... My son  works in a big entertaitment company in 2D and told me yesterday that they'll chek the new blender
for a possible workflow....

That's probably because of the Grease Pencil function. Hand drawn strokes on models will project onto the surface and then be rotatable in 3d space.

yeah they filled out the 2d and made an entire suite so you can animate with it complete with onion skinning etc and all the bells and whistles so I am using blender to draw cause well its fun :D
