      Yup, saw some news on it in 3D World magazine. Blender is starting to look really pro to me...

            I'd almost forgotten about that...does anyone know where the "new" UI is described in an "official" way? I remember reading about it a while back, and wanted to refresh my memory. A quick Google search just brought up a bunch of argumentive Blender forum sites. When is it coming? They're going to mess it up...They already messed it up...blah blah blah. It actually reads very much like those SU 7 threads here.

            Major UI change is a contentious issue, I'm sure...Blender's interface is so unique, and after all these years they want to change it? What happens to those poor sods who actually have mastered the current "traditional" version?

            I'm very happy to see them prospering, though...I made a couple of small contributions to the Blender Foundation and I've bought all three of their official manuals. It looks like Google is once again helping them out with the Summer of Code program.

              Hi Lewis
              the best sites for everything Blender is Blendernation.com... and of course Blender.org itself πŸ˜‰

              As for the new UI, this was out a while back but it's now on the front of their home page...

              Cheers,

                Thanks, boss.

                Actually, I'm puzzled by those videos and screenshots...it doesn't seem that different
                (except for this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvVK1oMdcnw&feature=related , which reminds me of Rhino's rendered viewport) from the version 2.46 I was using this morning.

                I've been hoping they would deal with some of the true oddities of Blender, like the damn "bad Unix" file browser interface and the over-reliance on cryptic key combinations. Multiple windows has never been a real desire for me.

                Oh well.

                    Thanks, Frenchy. Not sure if that website likes my computer, though.

                    Despite being a Blender and a Linux user, I'm not entirely convinced of the universal wonderfulness of all things Open Source. For every Firefox, there's a pile of botched Open Source stuff out there made by sociopaths with utter contempt for "mortals" (non-coders). They will flame you wildly if you dare to point out a problem with their UI.

                      That cartoon was good!

                      As a "coder", I think to myself "omg - what a lot of work".

                      However, I bit. I downloaded it. Now to see what I can screw up with it. πŸ˜‰

                        Oh, hey, I've got no problem with "coders" in general; I just don't ask questions on certain FOSS forums anymore. Too many times someone will jump in with some reply to the effect that I'm too stupid to be anything other than a Windows user.

                        Ironically enough, this man was my undergrad computer science instructor, and he tried to convince me I should be a "coder" (although I'm not sure the term was general use in 1987). In most respects, I wish I had listened, because there ain't been nothing nice about being an architect.

                        Hey, Todd, take a look at the node editor in Blender, if you want to see a fascinating interface. If only there was some kind of coherence to the feature set for this beast!

                          I won't be digging in Blender until after 3DBC.

                          Neat article on John. Cool!
