I hear what everyone's saying. I'm not a quad purist by any means, but working in Blender exclusively the past half year forced me to rethink how I approach SubD's, and I honestly don't feel like I'm missing n-gons all that much. It's definitely a mindset you have to put yourself into though, and it kept me off fully…
Thank for answers about pie menus in blender - pie menu editor is great! Now I have another issue. In standard blender 2.8 keymap the "set 3d cursor" is bound to shift+rmb. Works perfectly. But when I change global keymap to Industry standard it goes away and there is nothing with shift+rmb assigned. So I copied settings…
my experience with blender: I am a maya/ zbrush/ lightwave/ shiva user... When i joined up with a couple half- assed programmers i tried to get them into 3d and making iphone games, they were looking for free 3d software. For me to try to learn blender just to teach them 3d was a bad idea. Im comfortable with maya and…
Please don't debate about the capabilities of Blender in the mega thread, create a topic and if you think that Blender lacks some feature you can suggest them here: https://blender.community/c/rightclickselect/ But almost everything you mentioned already exist: - dyntopo is awesome, way better than dynamesh because it's…
When BMesh is finished and finally gets integrated into the trunk it will open up and vastly improve the way in which modelling is handled within Blender. I heard somewhere that the next official 2.5 release is at the end of this month, after which there is a scheduled modelling focus on the development road map.…
I have never used Modo, so im not sure how easy it is to pick up but Blender is pretty notorious for its steep learning curve. How did you find learning Modo EQ? It would be interesting to find out how long it took people in this thread too become fluent in Blender, so we could get a good average on a time period.
Just chiming in here I rate blender quite highly for VFX work, the smoke and fluid simulators are pretty nice (even without the qualifier "for a free program") I find it pretty fast to knock out good FX through blender. I used to model in it, but I can't imagine doing that now as I'm used to max, but for VFX it's still…
Yeah, I think that kind of stuff is what would be worth getting other opinions outside Blender users. He barely gets any feedback when he asks for it from Blender users anyway. Only tough part is I have no idea how to bundle the keymap with the OSX zips, because I don't use Mac, and it has a weird file structure. :/
im not sure, if this is what happens to you in this case, but i had the problem of changing keyboard layouts multiple times. one of blenders shortcuts or a very similar key combination that i hit by accident is bound by windows to change the keyboard layout to another language. due to that, some keyboard shortcuts in…
The unstable nightly builds of blender crash just as much as any commercial app! ;) Jokes aside, I've been having psd opening issues recently, works fine in 2.57 and lower, but 2.58->2.62 it just wont recognize psd files, but in any build of 2.63 it works again. I'm running 32bit versions of blender in win7-64bit, and I do…
