Not to sound like a wet diaper or anything, but I know this feeling all too well. I think a lot of people who pick up blender in earnest start to feel that way, in part because its not secretive and annualized like other software packages. BUT, it will wear off after awhile... especially when some feature is only half…
I have already two more questions 😂 basically after I use the shortcut for Bevel or any other tool for which I might want to set parameters (like the % of the bevel etc...), I would like to stay focused on the area I'm working on and input the parameter there rather than having to move to the "Active Tool and Workspace"…
@thomasp : considering your own technical know-how I can only assume that you've already tried all the usual approaches hence I don't have much more to suggest really. Besides perhaps having a look at the Surface Deform modifier, which has been very helpful to me when dealing with complex body and facial expression…
Surprise this hasnt been posted yet.... but theres been some communication between Valve and the Blender Foundation. Here are two quotes, one from Valve and the other Ton. Hi everyone, I work for Valve (http://www.valvesoftware.com/company/). We would like to make our digital distribution platform Steam…
Hello all, At this time, what is the best way to deal with custom sculpt brush presets ? By that I mean the following : Let's say I am working in my current file/project, and I create a new custom sculpt brush preset while I work (for instance something with a custom falloff and/or alpha). This will get saved with the…
metaliandy, changed to contributor and non contributor, wasn't trying to be pejorative, meant to say 'free rider' which is the term in game theory but misremembered. kat, I wasn't trying to say that you were :) I was just doing game theory of why the game theoretical optimal strategy is cooperation. I realize that folks do…
@kio : Install works flawlessly now, and the tool itself is great so far ;) Only feedback I'd have would be : • Maybe adding an option (in the form of a check box either in the side panel itself or in the addon install panel) to select between two display modes : the current/default one (where the visual representation of…
Carter: I've been in direct contact with people like HowardT (the guy currently doing Bevel) and Tom (Letterip), and maintain a loose collection of ideas here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aFxDruEX0zZnWHH5YjEFwJe4g1XqR4YByt_8_HRonTI/edit I'd be very willing to put time and effort (moreso than I already have with said…
I think this is an unfortunate misconception. In fact the devs are very good about listening to Blender's professional users. When you have a change you need, the key is this: know where to inquire, know who to ask, and keep the wheel squeaky. Most people get frustrated when trying to promote changes because they ask on…
I believe Autodesk has patents for UI elements like the viewcube, quad menu, and marking menu. Idk if they have any for modeling tools and parametric primitives that can be edited after creation. If they do, some of Blender's slow, roundabout methods for achieving the same thing in Max makes sense since they don't wanna…
