I haven't tested the build yet, but it sounds like a pretty good start. However if I could make a request for a filebrowser feature it would be to make an actual default preset operator (just named default or whatever) that you could overwrite the settings of. If you were to open a new instance of Blender it would just…
Heya Danny. I was aware of most of what you said. I did not know this. I might need to give up on modelling with those sexy matcaps then, sadly, if I want to display textures that is. The other thing is about Workbench. There was something tricky about the way Blender treated the Workbench render engine and your default…
Hi there again, To add to the above, you might actually want to consider avoiding this so-called "industry compatible" set of keybinds and instead start with the defaults, only modifying them to support your preferred (max-like or maya-like) navigation scheme first, and then later injecting your own preferred custom…
I think terms like "Workbench" and "Previz" are really causing unnecessary confusion, similarly to some of the other unneeded UI/UX fluff that 2.8 is adding. And while certainly useful, the plethora of possible display mode combinations is just making things very cumbersome to navigate ... Oh well. As far as I am concerned…
@FourtyNights : user preferences still mostly carry over fine to 2.8 (or at least they did in my case : tried various 2.8 builds over this past year and played around with moving over my prefs between versions and it worked. So when I ran the new 2.8 beta I had a 2.8 preferences folder already ready) - therefore the "old…
Just wondering but does anyone actually like the default setup for navigation/selection? Tried going back to the default because the newest builds don't work with my 2.66 key setup anymore and it's a pain to remake, but the default for selection at least just seems like there was no thought put into it at all.
@Jedah oh my ... o0 thank you and you are right ! many important addOns should be integrated right away as default. just for saying, the "Texture paint layers addOn" is something which is so great that it deserves to be set to to default. the "Paint Palettes" addOn is also really handy and i ask myself why it is not…
Workbench is the default viewport renderer. I'm not sure how to change the default material. I just have a custom default material applied in my startup blend file and use Hardops Alt+M in object mode to apply to selected. If I just want to apply different colours to objects I set viewport to studio>object and set the…
I think it'd be better to have Cessan's default since it's way more sane, and would make it easier for people to use Blender. The old default can be moved to the optional keymap since old school users will know how to select it. I think it is one of those things that if it is just changed, even those that resist would…
@So3Datel One thing that's great about Blender is that you can quickly switch to those default presets any time you want :) So when you hear people tell "oh you do that by pressing this..." without saying what it actually does (it is kind of frustrating imo, even though they are helping), you can always go back to the…
