Blender - Silo/Maya like Setup
polycounter lvl 6
Hey guys,
I'm a long time Silo user, and generally a fan of Maya style navigation and selections. I've had a long interest in Blender but was unusable for me out of the box. Pretty much about the time it got DynamicTopology (Dyntopo) Sculpting is when I got a hold of a custom setup that brought some sanity to the whole thing. After a good year, at least, of using it, tweaking stuff, and integrating different Addons it finally feels good. So I've decided to share this setup. It's a pretty good app if you can actually get to use it. It's free, no install / complicated licensing, just unZIP, quick development cycle w nightlies ... just to name a few upsides. This is in hope it will help someone who gave up on it give it another go. You never know this setup might resonate with you.
This is meant to be loaded initially as a whole, because some of the major UX functionality is bound to specific Addons.
For those familiar with Blender they can cannibalize the setup to their liking. Those who have tried it but are not familiar with it because they just could not stick with it, maybe this is for you. It could help you actually try it out.
Anyway, there's more info and the download in this thread on BA.
