(I actually had a response to questions about the Blender interface answered with "After two years of working with it you will really begin to understand the program and respect it." Sorry, I don't have two years.Īccording to, blender 2.35a still has a number of bug reports and other issues being reported, that 2.36 is planning to add no new features, but rather fix everything they've heard is working incorrectly. Nor did I have to throw out everything I have ever come to expect from how programs work. Its not nearly as powerful as Blender, but then I didn't need to sit down and work for two years to learn it. its free, cross platform, has lots of good support on its forums and is a true pleasure to use. If you have problems using Blender and want something easy and free, check out Wings 3D. I know they say that the user interface was designed to be efficient once you learn it, but would it be so bad to have options for a learning mode? Sure it might be less efficient working with menus rather than confusing and obscure hotkeys, but it would allow learners to find out what the program offers and learn the hotkeys for the menu functions as they need them. I had used 3D Studio a couple times at an friends who is an artist and that was a steep learning curve. With 2.34 I picked up the $50 Blender book and sat down with it for a couple hours a day for over a week.

This may very well be the most powerful piece of free software on the planet, but its interface is so backwards and awkward that you may never get through it. It really is a great program that you can't beat for the cost. Blender however brings so much more than Wings though that I can't give it up now that I am comfortable with it. I still think Wings has better modeling tools for the most part that can simplify quite a few tasks greatly but I am getting more used to thinking with Blender's toolset in mind.

Now I have a MacBook Pro and everything is awesome. The special builds were too slow to overcome OpenGL problems with the Intel driver. I never did get 2.48 running well on a MacBook with GMA950 integrated graphics. Once I remembered how things used to work it was easier to just "let go" and learn this tool without regard to the operating system or "UI best practices" that are all over OS X.
I personally was taking too many things for granted with respect to user interface paradigms. I had to go back and look at Imagine 1.0 and 2.0 from my Amiga days and remember just what it was then do some modeling.

Asking a question got a lot of responses like "Go through the entire Noob-to-Pro book before you ask anything." Now there are many people who can link you to a video or point you in the right direction for how to accomplish something when it needs to be done using different tools than you may be used to. The community doesn't seem as hostile as they were when I originally tried Blender with the 2.3 and early 2.4 releases. I am now learning some python and playing around with the Blender Game Engine for some prototyping.īesides tutorial videos two things seemed to change in regard to Blender since my last review. Thanks to the improvements that have been added and many short tutorial videos I've been able to learn quickly the basics of rigging my models from Wings.

With the last builds of 2.48 and the current 2.49RC series I have come a long way with Blender in a short time. I am doing an updated review since it has been a long time since 2005 when I last posted about Blender. If you are a longtime Illustrator user, the implementation of bezier curves in Blender may drive you batty. Getting human body models from MakeHuman don't work well for several reasons. That makes getting models made in other applications a problem, because a number of those use triangles. It really needs some rudimentary human models & clothing such as Poser or some of the other modelers use & would be useful to people immediately, then.īlender models are oriented toward quad meshes. In fact, it resembles a decade old 3d CAD program in its complex & slightly convoluted panels.ģd modelers all use their own keyboard shortcuts to whirl & twirl & zoom vs pan & rotate. The 2.5x version is moving to a different paradigm from the 2.49 stable version, but doesn't feel Mac-like in the least. Violates everything you'd be used to doing, which makes for a long learning curve if you've used any other 3d application!ĭon't expect to be proficient in a week or month. Stable versions didn't play well with up-to-date Illustrator files. They have not finished the import-export options in the 2.56a beta version, so it could be a problem moving to & from solid modelers. For free, this is very good as a surface modeler & it has it own animation built in.
