It doesn't sound right that you would get banned for that. Usually the developers and admins are so friendly and open to criticism it's almost creepy... However I don't really agree that it should delete what your current selection mode is (I suppose you don't want a confirmation box popping up). It might not happen often…
hi people, so im trying to learn blender. im coming from some years of using max, and thought it would be easiest to change everything that i can to function like it does in max. but that doesnt work that well. selection for one thing, sometimes i can select with left, sometimes with right mousebutton. and every time i…
Yes, the current keymap will still be available, it just won't be the default. It'll be in that dropdown where the Maya and 3ds Max keys are. I don't think it's necessarily to try to emulate Maya, but more that the current keymap has a lot of long standing issues. For one thing we're quickly running out of hotkeys. I think…
Never use the edge split modifier just to sharpen edges these days. Instead, go to the vertex attributes tab in the properties editor (it's the one with the triangle on it) and enable Auto Smooth and set the angle to 180 degrees so only edges you mark as sharp will be sharpened. This method doesn't tear apart your mesh and…
Data: recently there's been some discussion on ways for the end user to influence Blender without doing any coding him/herself (and even then, there'd be no guarantee of getting it accepted), and the conclusion was basically that there was none, and worse: because they're opensource they have no strong incentive to listen…
@@IxenonI Recreate what, the socket or the logic behind the switch? Uploading a file wouldn't help with adding new sockets through Python because you need to do this by hand to alter a specific group, and I no longer have this file anyway. You need to add import bpy at the top of the file or script. Either write it down…
@pior Correct. On my system (Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit) it's possible to open multiple versions of Blender, select object(s) from any of them then copy and paste them into other versions. Just tested this functionality again to confirm with all the versions that are currently installed on this system. All the Blender…
guitarguy00 What's better in Modo? I tried UVing there last year and haven't found any real advantages . Unless I missed something. Packmaster does much better packing imo. Max "relax" option is totally redundant in Blender imo. Never feel a need for it. But my UV workflow usually almost automatic : 1 set auto smooth ,…
@Prime8 : Good findings ! On my end I am not running into such issues, but I went through this adjustment of settings a little while ago and cannot recall in detail what changes I had to do to make it work, if any. But as a proof of concept I can confirm that it is possible to make it all work without conflicts with box…
@MmAaXx , @"another caveman" : FWIW I was just recently wondering about the very same thing (wouldn't it be cool if there was a way to preserve/set all normals as custom at the time of splitting !) ; but then found out that there is a very good alternative available. Basically all the functionality of the Data Transfer…
