I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;- I also run the and Blender 2 8 download Head of Community at. Everything is hidden in menu's which need to be clicked to open. You cant view settings like prior. Its like doing a blender 2 8 download hunt or so. Prior you could open some settings panels and view all settings. This is not possible anymore. Only the sculpt workspace has quite some options visible in that new weird settings tab. Which actually copies all settings from the horizontal sub setting panel. I hope so that this will revert or change. I saw this video today of Julien Kasper doing an talk at blender conference. It was about speeds sculpt. But all the settings are hidden, how can that speedup your workflow??. Shortcuts which have been taken out is a second major thing. Which makes it possible to add tons of extra panels everywhere. This adds so much functionality back which 2. I found it quite ironic he even mentioned it. Blender 2 8 download was from a person working with 2. How do you think new comers will cope with this??. Its the complete opposite of what newcomers would expect. Ive been installing blender versions aside of each other for years. Im even running all addonds in 2. Does this mean the gpus will continue to render as well, or will they drop out of the equation and only cpus will continue to render. It's ok to have both, because you will download a zip package. Then, unzip it on a folder of your choice. If you use windows, you can create a shortcut in your workspace area. The only thing I don't know if it's possible is open both versions ate blender 2 8 download same time. Sure, open up a zipped version of Blender. There will be a folder called 2. If you create a folder inside it called config your user settings, startup file etc. Now you can haveultiple Blenders side by side each with it's own configurations. Left Mouse Click select is not as bad. Still accidentally right click, but it's good. I will be using both Blender 2. I can get used to this new habit. Everything else seems pretty solid. I just downloaded on 3 systems: Ubuntu 16, Ubuntu 18 and windows 10. On Ubuntu 16 unfortunately Blender crashes and also makes crash all the system. But I'm not complying, because it's a very old Ubuntu version that I love. Under Ubuntu 18 and windows 10 Blender 2. And I have to take a bow: Blender was always a powerful software, but never so powerful as it is now!. So have the panel open if you want to render. But my experience has been that it is limted to one movie per scene. Maybe they have changed it by now. Very good that development finally goes on right direction, moving to useful conventions that most use including hardware conventions. I know this some of this might be a temporary pain to Blender veterans but i think it will not be too difficult. I'll be testing with my Wacom. After all the brilliant and massive achievements in 2. One of them looks like a printer I think but Blender doesn't do print output. Another looks like it's for adding cones, but it's actually 'Scene'. And the Constraints icon is meaningless. And InDesign layout is pretty boring and awful. The icons seems like they was washed out with some strong chemicals and lost all colors. Unfortunately Blender also adopted this sad style. It's like being a writer - they never look at the keyboard when typing, they just know where the damn button is. Yeah, I know certain entrepreneurs that on purpose keep the workspace very, very boring, without colours, without pictures in the wall, without plant vases. But, you see, often Blender user are artists, not bureaucratic officials. And even bureaucratic officials desserve to see colours in their lives. Colours are not distractions, colours are joy. Ilyak, your pin pointing the main issue here. Than how is hiding all settings going to help. Ive started using blender more and more since v2. But now they introduce it again and hide all settings and options. This will not be easy for new people. I know a lot of settings but im getting crazy of how much has changed, moved, deleted or whatever. I think this overhaul is to much and has been minimised way to much. But it lost its functionality. You need to click twice as much as before because all settings hide again after your click it. Its a nice video and you him stumbling with the software. Well Roberto, adobe apps never had colored icons as far as i can remember. Ive been using them for about 20 years now and photoshop always had monochrome icons. Its also works for Indesign. Lets move this topic to why they are introducing horizontal layouts again. Why are all settings of tools hidden in menu now. Another big issue why are the settings just left aligning. Where you hardly see them. Horizontal layout are bad, they read bad, new comers will have a real hard time trying to find settings and memorising where settings are. Even hardcore blender users have issues. I just saw this blender conference video of Julien Kasper, he has been working with bl 2. As far as what i understood from him is that he still is getting used to it. Especially given how many features have been introduced lately. And you somehow need to pack all that into a sleek user interface that neither distracts, nor makes you feel dizzy at the sight of overwhelmingly crammed toolbars. All in all, there's no accounting for taste after all. I could reply to your message, it think we can only reply x-amount of times. Of course the ui backups the minimal design, but it sure does not back the ux. It made it worse i believe. Its a memory now and one with a lot variables. Not good As far as the icons, after 2 days i sort getting used to it. But they need a second color. Crazy how much is broken, doesnt work or reacts just weird. Totally without freedom using that. Im not sure what your specific reason is that you need to use Indesign. But those icons are mode by a different designer, you see it clearly. Its like coming into a new area where you live. You will recognise location by shape and color. Now you will need to recognise it by only shape, but these shapes are very tiny and sometimes bad designed. I find a lot icons not fit for there purpose.
