I've been sclupting in Dynotop which works like wonders, almost as good as zbrush! Been working on this: I started the whole thing from a sphere and this is the second 3D sculpt I ever made from scratch with no base mesh. My first was with Mudbox, which even though is a nice sclupting/painting software, the simple fact…
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…
We've discussed having software-specific groups on the Slack, but given Slacks limited history (text gets wiped out past x number of messages, regardless of channel), the downsides (splitting up the Slack, becoming a mess of channels) outweigh the benefits in our eyes. As far as I know, @Fingus started out with a bunch of…
Hey all - A few weeks ago I spent some time on the BlenderArtists forum to get to the bottom of the SimpleDeform/Bend issue. You probably all know what I mean : the fact that SimpleDeform only works around Z makes it pretty much useless when it comes to fast modeling. Having to plan which way a strap is facing before…
At the risk of going against the consensus, I actually kind of doubt that reworking the default key bindings will do much. Put differently : I think there is no point in sticking with default hotkeys in *any* program out there ; and I believe there is no point in trying to design a set of hotkeys that fit everyone either,…
I've used it in production. It's become my main tool for mesh related work including sculpting. It's got a lot of good things going for it. It's a jack off all trades. And really shines in some. Pior has pretty much outlined it's biggest issues. The defaults it comes with are useless. Unfortunately it's got a steep…
First off, xrg's videos are awesome and a big reason I wanted to pick Blender up and give it a try. kat's tutorials were also helpful for clearing up a few points. I've been trying out Blender for the past couple of days. I think I'm having similar hangups as SHEP did coming from a background using Max. I was foolish at…
kat, Actually it has never been the case of 'just using it having a say'. Users who contribute in terms of good feedback 'have a say'. Ton is the founder of the Blender Institute and Foundation. He doesn't have much interest in the pro market. Your argument doesn't make much sense. Have you refused to use software because…
Yeah those are pretty unrealistic promises for software like this. The PR is really getting ahead of itself... I would, but I'd probably get the response "submit a patch", "who cares you got it for free you can't possibly complain ever", "wait for 2.6x" or something along those lines. Just to start with 2.49b.... DAE -…
Regarding things like efficiently accessing the UV editor window, or similar (like what you are attempting here with this new window and workspaces) : I've been trying to find an elegant way to do that myself and came to the conclusion that the best is to play along with the Blender limtations (that is to say : embracing…
