I have no problems with that either as long as it's working efficiently. That's the problem though. When Ton's ideas or preferences clash with a more efficient means of accomplishing a task or come through a feature he doesn't like - efficiency loses out and there isn't much one can do about it. I can go into examples if…
I love MODO ... you all know that ... but 901 hasn't been the best release and even a die hard fan like myself is sitting back and waiting until it gets stable before upgrading. I can't remember the last time that Blender's fans took to the streets to protest a broken release. :) So a larger budget, bigger team, etc. don't…
Torch: You can try my setup. Besides having Maya Alt-Navigation, it's LMB-centric, with more familiar selection schemes and a bunch of other stuff. It's more than just hotkeys, comes with all of the Addons I use (my main focus is content creation), and with blender system settings that make it work more like Silo/Maya I've…
My 3DS Max student license runs out soon, i'll be making the switch. Everything max has done since 2009 ver has been a poor showing for me. I can't see the investment value of buying a 1 year license for them to fix bugs a in the next release and charge the upgrade fee. That said i do love my max despite it's faults, i…
Moved from 3DSMax+Maya to Blender last year when doing the transition from studio worker to self-employed. A few reasons why : - More stable than Modo/Max/Maya - A constantly evolving toolset - Modeling and rendering features already equivalent/superior to other programs (no idea about animation yet, hoping to test it out…
There are tons of programs professionals are already using to compensate the flaws of their DCC Applications shortcomings. This whole debate about who needs to use program X to compensate flaw y is in every program, and its age old. A professional just uses the tool which gets him to the result the fastest or most…
Tomorrow I'll try with Manjaro, but as for now the default CTRL+SHIFT+S on Windows 8.1 doesn't work. If you change it to something else, it does work: Default I would have reported the bug if wasn't for the fact that I don't want to register an account on a website that I know I won't use that much. The bug reporting could…
At the risk of sounding overly simplistic, I can think of a very straightforward way to solve the keymap/new users issue which consist of giving access to two input schemes from the splash screen : "New user" : relies on QWER for transformation, Maya-style navigation in all 3d and 2d windows, left and right mouse click…
