That's good to hear. Maybe I have the wrong impression. Obviously there are at least a few very talented coders working on blender, and a lot of artists I respect in this thread also. I do hope that all the changes he mentions, and also a revamp of the windows happens for v. 3 -- at that point I think I could recommend it…
When users hit Blender as their first 3D app they have little trouble beyond the typical "newb" learning curve.. I've watched this happen quite extensively educating users new to Blender and 3D, and this is especially true of people coming at content production never having done *any* art before. So the problem isn't…
@ metalliandy: Good catch, I couldn't find that for some reason. However, note the important caveat at the end of the very first paragraph - "software... subject to licence". With regards to GIMP, there is some active and current controversy over that applications use of PSD, the article linked in my previous comment (and…
The position of keys does not necessarily mean anything with respect to the identifier on the key itself (a point made clear, at least I though, by comparison to other applications) they are positioned relative to the commonality of the functions they perform and the physical action required to use them by the user in…
I think it'll take a couple of non-film projects for that to happen honestly. To Ton's credit, the open film projects have made him seriously reevaluate the user interface, animation, rendering, and composition functionality of Blender. Perhaps not always making the right decisions, but definitely making better informed…
Thank deity-of-choice! I'm not the only one then. I think Ton is a great developer, but his "Blender is for Blender Artists" mantra just aggravates me beyond reason. It plays right into the fanboy mindset and, in general, is simply used as an excuse not to change something that people complain about. Take for instance the…
Hello ! I suppose the naming aspect also came up on my end because of other lattice-related addons I already use, which are already populating search with other "lattice stuff " making SimpleLattice hard to guess/find : That said this is trivial to rename on my end, so obviously not the most critical thing to adress :) And…
Keyboard mapping is not based on function name, it's based on where the hand is placed and moves over the keys as you work. This means that certain types of 'map' suit particular HAND positions rather than naming conventions. For example, the following (subject to errors) are the key for the three main functions carried…
