I was wondering abut how do you backup your blender before let's say full reinstall or moving to another PC. Downloading and installing all addons + setting up all shortcuts all over again is a nightmare. Maya for example holds all of this kind of stuff(scripts,custom shelves, etc.) inside 'maya' folder in 'my documents'.…
@tynew personally I really like how Blender breaks down the Pivot types, origins and orientation. I don't recall if Max can replicate all of them, and if it does, I think it's hidden away in a more convoluted UI. There are a lot of cool things to play with, but you will probably find Blender's spline modeling tools lacking…
@thinkinmonkey Yes there is, "Surface Follow" addon for Blender by Rich Colburn https://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?412706-Surface-Follow-from-2016-Blender-Conference Link to download the addon: https://github.com/the3dadvantage/BlenderSurfaceFollow "The second script let's you create a flattened version of…
Thanks for the answer Thomas. I did reset to factory settings and it indeed works. The issue is that I'm using a custom version of Blender that doesn't drive me crazy (http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?352666-Input-Custom-Blender-Setup-Silo-Maya-esque) I'm going to check this thread closely and check if…
I have installed Blender and was wondering if there is a tutorial or tips page which gives you directions to what is a good idea to setup and change in blender after a fresh installation, especially for us 3ds max people. Any special plugins to install, any settings to fix, anything you really need to know? Going to go…
nah, dunno the sculpting in zbrush feels way better (once you get used to the thing they call ui) iam dont really have THAT much experience with sculpting in blender, just the ocasional doodle, but i dont think blender beats zbrush in any area in the sculpting department (correct me if iam wrong) but i have seen some crazy…
Looks good. I must admit i have deinstalled blender yesterday. I dont understand the "logic" from blender. Its like you have a gas pedal but when you give full gas its the command for open the trunk. Maya tools are not the best or lacking many features but the "logic" is good. When im in the tab for Polygon Modelling…
The two most interesting ones are both continuations from last gsoc imo: Antonis Riakiotakis – Painting tool improvements Mentor: Lukas Toenne This proposal will target usability, feature and system design improvements for Blender’s paint system. Unification of symmetry and anchored and area stroke modes, curve driven…
Hey guys, with the 2.8rc release I wanted to finally seriously try blender too (coming mostly from max, a little bit from Maya/Modo). Playing with it for a week or so I can't complain, I especially love some of the add-ons (though it's becoming a bit of a mess :D ) BUT! I guess I'm doing something very wrong here, but the…
In Blender I seem to be having a problem straightening the vertex normals, this is what is causing my issues as you can see in the second image. Any ideas?
