Re: Has anyone moved from a commercial modeling app to Blender?
I never turn them off but i almost never use them for rotation. When i rotate things most of the time i press r. Or r 90. Or r 180. Restricting it to an axis is also quick with blenders method so once you get used to using keys for manipulating objects it becomes much faster than every other program I have worked with. -
Re: Has anyone moved from a commercial modeling app to Blender?
Why I clicked on that link, why?! The gamers argument is so stupid, really, what games have to do with a DCC? I don't believe this people really understand what they are doing, S=Scale, G=Grab (lol the M for Move was too far away), R=Rotate, because in other software W=Wove, E=Eotate and R=Rale, simply as that. If I where… -
Re: Has anyone moved from a commercial modeling app to Blender?
The rational behind many of Blender's shortcuts is that they correspond to the initial letter of the action. Not advocating any key combination over another, but hopefully providing some small insight into how and why Blender's default is the way it is. G - grab R - rotate S - scale H, shift+H, alt+H - hide, hide… -
Re: Has anyone moved from a commercial modeling app to Blender?
Pior, totally agree on working without clicking the gizmo, such a huge workflow speed increase, it also has the middle mouse button constrain to closest axis if you press it after you start moving (although I never use it). Have you got some way to visualize the action center with the gizmo turned off? Direwolf, Jed wrote… -
Re: Has anyone moved from a commercial modeling app to Blender?
same stuff in blender often times people complain how bad it is because you cannot do this or something is not working etc.. when its just a user error or lack of knowhow to stay on topic : using blender at work for all my modelling and uv work but still using maya to edit normals and export to special format at home iam… -
Re: Has anyone moved from a commercial modeling app to Blender?
If indie got some of the more useful scripts (Seneca, etc.) along with Substance support that would go a long way to making it more appealing in my eyes. Also, I thought there already was a rounded edge shader in Modo? On the topic of Blender, one of my frustrations is looking for a feature and being directed to a custom… -
Re: Has anyone moved from a commercial modeling app to Blender?
I grew up on Blender but I tried to switch to Maya and Max with a solid month of practice on each (because everyone told me to be a pro you must learn those programs, although I've gotten jobs because I am one of the only ones using Blender here :P) When trying the other programs, I ran into many bugs, I had problems even… -
Re: Has anyone moved from a commercial modeling app to Blender?
How is the sp1 working out for you? Is it much more stable? Modo IS getting expensive for sure. While Indie is more than enough for learning, no plug-ins means PRMAN is not gonna be available. In that aspect I really am leaning towards Blender :D -
Re: Has anyone moved from a commercial modeling app to Blender?
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… -
Re: Has anyone moved from a commercial modeling app to Blender?
At our small studio we just decided to go practical about it, and use blender until either it reached some limit, or the workflow got too slow. So far I'm happy to be using blender :D
