I came from Modo as well. I am not sure what issue you are having exactly. Middle mouse works fine for me on a pen. I use the industry standard keymap (which you have to select from the properties or splash screen), and then Alt + pen tip for left click, alt + side pen button for middle and right clicks. No issues at all…
Oh totally yeah - they are basically victim of themselves "trying too hard" in the past, attempting to hotkey everything ... under the assumption that power users might want that. It's all quite ironic in a way. And then many add-on creators unfortunately jumped on that hotkey train too by assigning keys to their addons.…
Do you really wonder? The GPL is simply quite a hurdle. Just watch one post above. You run into the problem that too much people might give away your work for free. And that competitors can simply grab the code from your addon or fork and use it for his own addon or fork. Just look at E-Cycles and K-Cycles, and what a…
Being realistic seems to be based, in this case, on the subjective. One persons "realistic" might not be the "realistic" others see. Whether you think proper support for multiple normals is going to happen or not is kind of moot, since its up to the core developers. Given the latest proposal for 2.7 and onward, as well as…
Ok, just wanted to make sure people don't get the wrong idea :) The basics are there alright, but things can get different very early. Even with the way you access the move tool. You can do it via the manipulator, but you're potentially leaving out a lot of the extra options you get when using the shortcuts directly. And…
@FourtyNights : user preferences still mostly carry over fine to 2.8 (or at least they did in my case : tried various 2.8 builds over this past year and played around with moving over my prefs between versions and it worked. So when I ran the new 2.8 beta I had a 2.8 preferences folder already ready) - therefore the "old…
Many times as a matter of fact. I was so turned off that at one point I didnt even want to bother seeing the improvements of 2.5. It was to the point where if someone mentioned Blender in the workplace the first reaction would be to say something negative about Blender...meaning there was a negative emotional response tied…
The answer is - pretty damn accurate! Turns out I didn't know about Mesh>Normals>Set Face Strength>Strong. Using @kio 's method of applying a weighted normals modifier gave me the results I showed in my second post's last image, which still had some artifacts, but manually setting the normals to Strong in those faces…
In what way are you having a hard time? I'm too coming from Modo, and have to say I like Blender 2.8 more and more. I'm not as fast there as in Modo yet (been working with Modo over 10 years, professional modeler), just digging into Blender 2.8 for a couple of weeks now. But getting faster by the day with practice, and I…
For me :) There's no way to store components to be selected afterwards (Tags/Clusters) Quad view completely useless/broken No auto wireframe for orthographic views Too much switching modes due to this When you select something, it automatically updates all the other modes, frustrating Totally useless RMB (default LMB)…
