I totally agree, Jonathan. More often than not I find that Blender has a negative reputation among many professionals and though it is getting better, it is still a problem. I have been using Blender for years and have been flamed out of BlenderArtists/elysiun on numerous occasions for suggesting features or improvements…
I'm trying to recreate this OSL node setup from Max in Blender. I've loaded the OSL script in Blender, but it doesn't work and I'd rather not use OSL anyway as it doesn't support GPU. Basically, I have 2 displacement maps: 1 baked from Zbrush with a 0 mid-point, and the other is a 3-channel RGB map that I painted in Mari…
Hi all, I'm Blenders 'release manager'. I'd like to address a couple of general comments that have been made in the thread. First off, the artists will be pleased to hear the positive comments on the trailer. There is a lot of work yet to be done on every shot, and improvements that will be made in simulation (the team…
I think Blender has a tendency to break with a lot of geometry, just recently had two tris that got separated from a sculpt (1.5M object, really dense) and wouldn't display verts, just edges. Couldn't select them except in edge mode. You could test by deleting loads of geo and see if it snaps or not then. Also check the…
Hi all, since I didn't upgrade to the yearly account you for surveys I closed the survey earlier to make sure I didn't get overage charges. Regarding Tons statement about difficulty finding developers - I tend to disagree. He wants coders who are brilliant self managers and who work for peanuts and have a deep knowledge of…
Been seeing a few problems in this topic mostly just a lot of people bad mouthing it with no real experience with the tool and a other bunch of people going way to far out of there way to defend it. It's a tool people will just use what works for them and it works good for some people like my self, eld and a few other in…
ok, Blender decided to not develop FBX more than the actual stage (that actually is stable enough for me) here is the note from the main developer Bastien Montagne: "Hi, So, lately there's been a lot of FBX-related issues reported to our tracker. Most of those are either: - Known (half-)broken things (like cameras/lights…
How long has it been since you have used Blender? If it is the 2.4x series then just everything has been re-written and improved. Most of the awesome "must have" tools/plugins are now integrated (Loop tools, Inset/Extrude etc.) with 2.59 getting some awesome additions (Ivy Gen, Sapling, Grease Scatter etc.) a few days ago.…
A lot of the times when we're talking Blender, things go a bit deeper than one might perceive initially. I guess it also comes down to a personal point of view, even more so because the situation is quite complex. Let's stick just with the hotkeys at the moment, and back track a bit in the timeline. You are aware that in…
