Re: blender
Blender 2.79 comes with some new exciting features, and one of them is the Principled BSDF. Normally a new shader lets you create one more type of material. But this is different, because this is like every shader rolled into one. Simplifying the complex node setups that were required before, into simple easy to use… -
Re: blender
Lolz..yeah thankfully has morphed into a completely different beast since those days. I'd first picked it up in 2004 (2.4xx) when transitioning over too digital from a 'classically' trained traditional painter/sculptor (base-relief) background and has been my core 3D package. I'd say the initial attraction from the outset… -
Re: blender
The pie menu editor is awesome, and if you don't want to pay it's also pretty easy to just script your own menus in python if you're not too scared of touching code. Blender has a built in scripting editor and even has templates in there that help you set it up. I put together my own context-sensitive menus that give me… -

I've been working on with my current character project for a couple of months and I haven't got any crashes. Been retopologizing 10-20 million polygon meshes in the viewport without problems. You don't even need to decimate in Zbrush for Blender. Extremely stable software from my experience. "Renderer leaves a lot to be… -
Re: blender
I've been where you are when it comes to my views about blender. It was very much on/off for me since somewhere around 2.4x ish. At this point I've really come to love it and i use it at work almost daily when it comes to real time assets. What did the trick for me is an all customized UI and addon folder... Let me link… -
Re: blender
Hi there Ruz - • You can switch the file browser to display thumbnails (it's in the options, up there !). Unlike Maya there is no way to use the native OS windows for file browsing, but also unlike Maya ... the native Blender browser is actually very powerful, especially with the way it handles bookmarks. I too was looking… -
Re: blender
i think it really comes down to which workflow you prefer some people are used to click most things which is not that great in blender but once you get used to the hotkeys it gets really powerful and fast -
Re: blender
I have you to blame for taking a look at Blender after I read that you use it. and while I only have spent a day or two in it I am already feeling that this could be something! Sort of the same feeling I had with Modo when first starting to use that. Feels very fresh and while the UI feels odd coming from 7 years of Max… -
Re: blender
indeed, coming from 3ds max the lack of sudden crashes of the "hmmmmmm, so what does this little thingie do... <click> .... BOOOM" kind was a revelation for me. when i work with someone on a shared dropbox i no longer get the "WTF! why are you updating these files like every 5 seconds" comments anymore either. :) the… -
Re: blender
Both with Max and Maya I am constantly in search of "where is that checkbox or button I pushed last time when I did same thing before" or with Max specifically where is that extra script or why it doesn't work now. What's the hidden condition in some deep down rollout I forgot. Surprisingly I've never forgot anything in…
