No problemo ! All working now :) Also : wow. I didn't realize it when initially bringing up the request for a Simple mode, but there are definitely some nice (and unexpected !) side effects to it that I just noticed when trying it out in practice. Basically ... even without using workplane-bound transforms operations per…
Well as my first post here at poly count to get the mods to read it and veryify and all that jazz i must say that im a avid Blender user... in fact i love blender so much, you can pretty much put me into the camp that really is NOT liking the 2.5.2 interface... i have max and maya (both a gift from a friend during…
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…
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…
Touching up on your post... There have been a couple of catalyst which indicate a change in direction for Blender, and that's kind of what I have been betting on. Signs include the proposal by Ton regarding the future of Blender and the ongoing dialog between Valve and Blender (hinting at some sort of steam/steamworkshop…
It is important to look at some of Blender's statements and goals, like the one MightyPea mentioned. Ton has also compared Blender to a piano; nobody can start playing Schubert on it after five minutes, but it's damn efficient nonetheless. In short, Blender is designed for people who dedicate themselves to the software.…
I've been using Blender almost exclusively for several years now. Granted, I haven't done nearly as much 3D modeling as I used to. (been hitting the coding and web design pretty hard) But whenever I do produce 3D work, I use Blender to do it. I won't say that its better than the big-name 3D packages. It probably doesn't…
"just regular sub-d modeling with some sculpting brushes"? seriously o.0? did you think well what you said? what a way to belittle! envy maybe? If you really were doing things like that in Max, you would not be saying such things. Lies, that's all. It seems you don't use/know modo, that's sure at 10000%. Heh, "regular…
That headline of the Epic funding paints a very very exciting future for Blender! And the fact that it comes from a videogame-focused party gives me hope the devs will look into developing features for this industry in particular, fortunately. @musashidan a lattice with 2 stacked Simple Deform mods set to bend and…
@Justo Hardops is more than just a boolean toolkit. It's a workflow booster with an excellent modifier system. It takes care of a lot of tedious tasks behind the scenes(like a lot of Blender addons) and has many more tools than just Booleans. Of course it works flawlessly with its sister addon - Boxcutter - but is also…
