Question for you all - has there been any attempt at bringing back an equivalent to the pre-2.8 layer management system ? By that I mean, something similar to the compact mini UI with grey/yellow dots to move objects in and out of layers. Of course such thing would have to account for the fact that Collections can have…
For those interested in contributing or wish to follow along, please head on over to developer.blender.org. That said, here are a few updates worth sharing. Two new modifiers, Wireframe and Bisect. Here is a video of the new Bisect modifier in action: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzii_tt8Lg0"]Bisect Modifier -…
Funny that you say that, its on my list of new tools that I wanted to explore. Like a a tool that aligns all UV islands to world topology from a readable perspective. E.g. UV island in 3D space is mostly flat, align to top XY view. Or when sideways follow along horizontal axis and z for UV up. Very common issue I face…
@pior I can't attest to how well it works since I don't use it, but there's the command Image > Save All Images on the UV / Image editor header. To add it to custom menus, the operator name is "bpy.ops.image.save_dirty". This course here can help regarding advanced character animation using Blender:…
I would argue there is a key difference between blender fanboys and those of other apps. Other applications, for the most part are investments...they are not cheap and many are used by industry professionals. Believe it or not, its a small world when it comes to CG. People know people who will probably know you. Word can…
The annoying part of Blender 2.5x is the EXE title string is now just "Blender". Back in the pre-2.5x days I used to rename my Blender.exe's to Blender249.exe and the like and have Open With... associated with all the old versions I had installed for compatibility. These 2.5x came and called itself "Blender" internally so…
It seems Blender has serious issues with UE4 atm. The current versions of late. I am not sure if the devs are paying attention to this aspect. Over the past 4 days, this has been causing serious issues. Haven't slept in three days trying to figure this out among other issues which is becoming frustrating. Seems it imports…
Hello all, When adding new textures to a material (by creating a texture node and then browsing for the source on disk), is there a way to somehow duplicate a given texture object and point it to a different source texture by simply editing the path/name - hence bypassing the need to browse for source file all over again ?…
Diving deeper into rigging and animation atm. and, coming from max, blender is really an eye opener. All these crazy remapping tools max offers and in blender it just-works. Moving animations around, editing rigs, skinning (ok with the help of some custom tools). I remember how difficult it was to fix problems in my max…
Am I the only one which is kind of disappointed there aren't more Animation or motion Artists within the Blender community? I mean, I've been lurking on the Blender Artists forum and been seeing their galleries for a couple of months. I even know the big names of the artists using them. However, of all the best and…
