Do you mind if I use this thread to post whatever bothers me about Blender as I try it out, Daaark and other Blender-users? I was trying out a 2.5 build last night (that windowing system is slick as shit), and there were a few things that bugged me, so I thought I'd like to hear the reasoning behind it, or any…
@Pea, I find the Knife quite versatile really. It can do many of the things that connect can, just in Blenders own way :P After cutting the mesh, you can select 2 edges and then constrain the axis by hitting X, Y or Z and then S to scale across the axis...this will emulate pinch. (you can also designate the amount of pinch…
wouldn't a new thread be better, instead of hijacking this one on page 6? Other people could contribute as well then. You're right about that. Blender sticks to the no overlapping window philosophy way too closely. There are times like errors, or exports, or saving, when you want an overlapping window to jump up in your…
Well it looks like were both editing back and forth there, so Ill just start a new post. I do agree that specialized apps will have their place for a long time to come. The world Im envisioning is more like the current 2d workflow. You dont have one app to draw lines, another for curves, a third for color, and a final app…
Big fan of lasso selection myself. Always preferred it over box and it's nice that it is so accessible like that, much like with LW/Modo. Even using 'b' occasionally I haven't found it to be a big deal. Same with the nav, which incidentally can either work very similar to Max (middle mouse button driven) or almost exactly…
The fast load time is freaking awesome. It's not a 'selling' feature, but yea, after loading max multiple times a day on my work machine, blender is lightning fast. I hope they can maintain this as development continues. As for the knife tool, I'm going to have to give it a 'meh'. It's an ok tool, but the popup really has…
MightyPea: Ctrl+R- adds new edgeloop (wheel will let you select the number of cuts) And if you want something like wings connect tool, you must select those two , or more edges and hit W and select subdivide from list.ou can also do this by hittin W and then 1. but as in blender there are no ngons this will result in…
Well I know it does not look like a big thing, but when you want to add and remove components to your current selection as fast a possible, you really need the fingers to be close to the modifiers keys (ctrl, alt, shift in major apps). From there it really is a slowdown to have to reach for b just to re-enter a mode that I…
Yeah. Do not use the words industry standard, or keyboard cat will quickly be playing you off. :poly124: And it's not my point. It's their point. On their side of it, they are a group of volunteers who work their asses off trying to do all the work to keep pumping out new Blender builds, and they get a constant stream of…
i think there is a more a psychological reason for the rounded 'groups' as it hints the eyes that certain elements are enclosed or grouped together. I think the viewports in Blender transport that very well because one always knows wich menu bar belongs to which viewport thanks to the rounded corners. Its the same…
