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…
I'm not sure. I run Linux so typically just build from source and yank down the whole scripts svn and it's good to go. Seems import key configuration works fine for me too though. The folder it goes in is (inside the extracted download folder) 2.63 -> scripts -> presets -> keyconfig. It's probably not really worth as much…
Carter: I've been in direct contact with people like HowardT (the guy currently doing Bevel) and Tom (Letterip), and maintain a loose collection of ideas here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aFxDruEX0zZnWHH5YjEFwJe4g1XqR4YByt_8_HRonTI/edit I'd be very willing to put time and effort (moreso than I already have with said…
Finally we can invert vertex groups on most (all?) modifiers with 2.83. I was often wondering why this wasn't implemented before. @Blaizer Blender definitely has some performance issues, fortunately some improved over the last releases, others didn't, but you make it sound like Blender is completely useless. When does the…
@Justo In Blender you can type additional commands into a live operation and re-run it as many times as you need. One way to copy objects around a circle is: Alt-D (Duplicate Linked) and while it's active type R (initiates rotation) then X, Y, or Z (selects the axis of rotation) then 360/N (where N is the number of…
Unlikely I think - more likely they would just donate back to the project and keep it in one branch. Blender Foundation is open to other contributions, they just don't want people putting code in and running away leaving them to maintain it. You can read up on Valve discussion here on the mailing list:…
Spent all day yesterday trying to get good at low poly hand painting on blender and i kept running into a bunch of glitches and thought i was doing it wrong, but realized that after I updated 2.80 everything worked perfectly and i feel like a real fecking dipstick. Speaking of glitches does anyone have a list of common…
One of the big perks to using blender as well is that you dont have to jump through all the hoops associated with licenses and their activations. You basically have a powerful 3d application which takes up anywhere from 40-100mb give or take, in a folder which doesnt need to be installed but can run straight from a USB…
"Poor knockoff" -- you make it sound like it would be lacking or malfunctioning, which I disagree. I'm glad you have everything you need, I hope you make some great art with it. To correct what I said, using the bpy.app.handlers.load_post app handler in a script would let you run a function anytime a file is opened, making…
I'm using it as a portable install where all configs are part of the blender program folder (e.g. blender-2.82-windows64\2.82\config). So in my case I just run it from an usb stick. When upgrading to a new version I copy the content of the 'config' folder from there to a new install. Installed addons (which don't come…
