HOLY FUCK SOMEONE FIXED BLENDERS SHIT UI AND MADE IT USABLE BY HUMANS WITHOUT INVESTING A SHIT TON OF TIME JUST KNOWING WHERE THE SINGLE OPTION YOU NEED IT FOR IS OR LEARN 300 GODSDAMNED SHORTCUTS

RESKEETED TO THE MAX HOLY SHIT

In short, the main differences between Bforartists and Blender are:

An new default keymap, reduced to a minimal and necessary hotkey layout with 3D navigation that can be exclusively done by mouse.
Cleaned up User Interface. Lots of unnecessary double, triple or even more identical menu entries are combined, removed and/or exposed.
Extended User Interface. Many tools that were formerly hotkey only have a menu entry now. Rearranged User Interface. Some things are better accessible now, some less frequent operators are no-longer in the way anymore. Improved default settings. Colored Iconography with silhuette, color coding, form and detail consistently placed everywhere. A configurable toolbar with icon buttons. A pinnable tool shelf with the header based tools, exposed at a top-level in panels. Tabs in the toolshelf. A node add toolshelf for quick point and clickImproved default workspace layouts. Left aligned checkboxes and text where possible. Better and more tooltips. etc.

Fred Rodgers on the importance of making something even if other people don't think it's good had me crying this morning. Passing it along for anyone else that might need it.

Hope has nothing to do with it--DO YOUR PART!

Twitter & Truth Social are dying. Their users are used to farming outrage for engagement. Don't give them any!

Remember the eclipse back in April?

Since eclipses are rare I practiced camera settings and timing... then changed travel plans, watched the weather like a hawk, and ended up driving quite a bit. It all worked out. I'm proudest of this image and would love to do projects like this more often.
