Hey guys, I just wanted to post that Bsurfaces 1.5 has been released and its pretty outstanding. (it will be released as GLP within 5-9 months but is currently $39) Its a modeling and retopo toolset that uses greasepaint and/or bezier curves to generate surfaces. Its the commercial upgrade of the current Bsurfaces 0.9 that…
I was about to say, keep in mind that Blender's FBX importer/exporter is reverse engineered. Might as well be that Autodesk changed something in the file format again, which is backwards compatible, if you know how, but isn't implemented in Blender. So Autodesk software doesn't accept it, but software using older versions…
Blender Network announcement from two days ago: Today the Blender Foundation announced the launch of the Blender Network; a partnership program for professionals who are using and developing Blender. The network offering includes authentication and social networking for partners, and provides a public directory to showcase…
@ant1fact I'm quoting myself, quoting myself: Also I want to add: batch file to assosiate *.blend files with the above batch file (here it's called 'mgto_startblender.cmd')@echo off rem get file type assoc .blend=blendfile rem assign file type and, forward the file which should open (%1) and any possible further arguemnts…
What @Cirno said. Though changing anything more substantial than that will most likely involve changes in the UI widget system. Also if you want to make suggestions, you should really open a ticket for that. Chances of a Blender dev finding this here are slim. One rule of thumb that should be true for all themes: - buttons…
Has anyone noticed serious slow downs when using the file browser in the most recent version?. It doesn't matter what I do, Exporting, saving, loading ad-dons. It seems the file browser is really slow and can take anywhere from 20 seconds to 5 minutes to open up and Blender hangs for the entire time. It doesn't always…
Do you mean like this: ? Also, as a recommendation to the lack of proper layers: http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?360257-Super-Grouper @Blond The copy UV addon wasn't developed by the creator of the video, but by Nutti: http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?348421-Addon-Copy-and-Paste-UV-Coordinates…
I'm trying to be open minded. And in theory I like the idea of not having to drag manipulator arrow. I also like the idea of predictive transform, so MMB really could be very handy.BUT for example: I have arbitrary rotated face and I want to move it along one of its axes. I switch to normal space and then: Press G, release…
I'm well aware of all the open movies and new features beeing included, my point is that there are some really substantial issues with Blender right now, for me it's mainly viewport performance and import/export, though the latter's been improved a bit in the last year or so, I don't think there's enough of an emphasis on…
Just found this kickass little site with short text tutorials, which I personally prefer over going through videos: https://twominutetuts.com It's great! Let's share it with the people who're getting into Blender. You can open the Text Editor and under Templates -> Python -> Operator Modal you get a simple template of a…
