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.

Adding F-Curve modifiers to multiple channels at once is now easier to access.įull changelog available here.

In other modes ('All Keys', 'Selected Keys', 'Scene Frame Range') the start/end frame are still editable, but greyed out. Motion paths have a new frame range option 'Manual Range' to ensure the frame range is never changed on update (rBd72c7eefd1c5).Take subframes into account when jumping to next/previous keyframes.Added 'Select Linked Vertices' to weight paint mode.Added the pin icon to the Dope Sheet to pin channels.Old tutorials explaining the usage of the Multi-Modifier option will need updating. Fixed an old bug where the effect of the Invert Vertex Group toggle of the Armature modifier was inverted when Multi-Modifier was active.It is recommended to convert them to pose assets.

They are now seen by Blender as simply Actions with named markers. The old (pre-3.0) pose library has been removed (rB48b5dcdbe857).
