Stumbled across your blog entry on this ...Hi there. Stumbled across your blog entry on this application. I agree with much of what you've said here, though I'd be interested in seeing your appraisal after an apparently much ballyhooed "Blender Summer of Documentation". I doubt you'd find it much easier. I know I'm not finding it easy at all. Another blogger (somewhere) has made the observation that while Blender advocates defend the heavy keyboard orientation these folks will soon be running out of room to add features!<BR/>Regardless of their boosterism, I'm afraid there can't be much doubt Blender is poorly conceived from a user point of view. I've noticed on a few occasions that specific functions were only available via keystrokes and on the whole these are not well documented.<BR/>Another strong complaint for me is the number of tutorials which are *only* web based. Blender folks seem to love their videos and while it can be fun to watch a talented 3D person work their magic in these, they are fantastically impractical as a learning tool. I'm fond of good old fashioned paper. how I wish they'd take their growing HTML based documentation and put it in a PDF!<BR/>For whatever it may be worth I am now fnding that I am going to learn Blender in *spite*of their efforts to thwart me!<BR/>PS: Not sure if you're aware of Google's 3D app - Sketch Up; but you might find it somewhat more intuitive. I've been made to undertsnad its getting a growing reputation amongst architects as a handy tool lfor quick "mock ups".<BR/>Appreciated reading your blog.FHBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701108262516365131noreply@blogger.com
