I actually really like Blender's controls when using a decent 3-button mouse, but then again I switched permanently from Maya about 6 months ago (when 2.63 came out) so I've had plenty of to get used to them (and Maya's whole interface was clunky to begin with; holding alt for everything, going through menus and clicking…
Primitives in max have some great quick parameters, adding sides to a cylinder or a cap ring is a one click step on a primitive. Adjusting the slope on a oil tank or a capsule are super quick ways to get a non-standard cylinder shape much faster than trying to poly model a cylinder into those shapes. It also helps when…
I have made a tutorial on how to generate pre-rendered sprites (like Donkey Kong Country) with Blender Cycles and Shadow Catcher and then play those animations in Godot Engine depending on the key input pressed (script included): https://blender.stackexchange.com/a/117394/23134 The result: Kenub: yes the pointiness doesn't…
@Udjani Thanks for the testing. I suppose I must be doing something wrong then in the process of saving out the normal map, because applying it inside marmo still shows errors. In case they're due to dithering, again I tried saving them out as 16bit TIFF and then in PS saving them into 8bit PNG. While doing this, I noticed…
@"Michael Knubben" Good idea, it's always cool seeing how others have blender setup :) And I like it being so customizable, among the many included addons, open source once or making one from scratch, That floating panel looks cool! :) I don't work with as little UI as you do, but even then it would save me time from…
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…
No they're not, they can do shortcuts. It's just that the click and point options are much more open if a user wishes. They do have shortcuts, it's just that Blender is Shortcut intensive from the get-go. Also, don't take my opinion on this, but personally, every Autodesk product has horrible shortcuts. If they expect me…
Hello @Surfa ! Thank you so much for the thorough investigation and report. The registry side of things is consistent with what I've read online earlier, and matches what I am getting from a fresh install on a separate machine combined with running blender -r. And on this test machine ... the Explorer thumbnail previews…
I agree and I would very much like it if Blender were to open up some more free keys. The next best thing Blender has to a spare key is the Q, which is set to Quit, a function that you can't possibly need more than once per session. I'm afraid to say I've had little experience with remapping Blender, since I had gotten…
Yes, it takes less time. X-( ok ok I know, I shoudnt post that here but it's stil kinda my first lil achievement inside of Blender. I've managed in my free time after school and work to finish my first animation in Blneder using my own perosnal rig. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fghfKQNzdPI[/ame] Now that this is…
