Softwares and their interfaces

Posted by RedSoul92 - December 26th, 2019


Yesterday I opened my blender (no not the one in the kitchen, the one on my ubuntu studio) and was displeased to find a complete makeover of the interface. Blender has maintained a sturdy and loyal interface that many of us have learned to love so if it ain't broken why fix it?

I was not the only one to be performing google searches in order to learn the new shortcuts or find out where had all the old buttons been reassigned to. Oh yes, it really does look like 3d max now and it has certainly migrated from a cartoony look to a more professional looking software but did they really have to change all those shortcuts? Yes they did, and windows users will be able to tell me that changes aren't always a bad thing but hey, I am a taurus after all, so just give me some time to adapt and in the meantime let me do a little ranting.


Anyway, the 33rd episode of my podcast will be out tomorrow at 17:00 UTC-03:00. There's plenty of high speed techno for all those psy-trance lovers out there and this one has a lot more lyrics than usual, I guess the end of the decade has gotten me in a sentimental mood.

This has been by far my most busy month as a dj (4 gigs in 3 weeks say whaaaaaa) and I'm still getting the hang of playing just with cd's and vinyls but I will get there and am happy to be going through the performing-with-no-laptop change.

Animation wise has been pretty sluggish with just some visual loops to go with the new tracks and all that energy has been put to good use on my 3d printer project which is almost almost printing stuff without any issues after almost two years of building it so I'm happy with seeing the light at the end of tunnel with that project, I hope the next time I'm writing I'm talking about all the cool stuff I've been printing.


May the 20's be a prosperous decade for us all.

the same happened with the change of interface from version 2.49 to 2.50 many disliked the new change since they loved working with blender with the old interface and others only reluctantly accepted the change and had to adapt, blender with each change interface the community dislike but even new users are afraid of the recurring interface changes made by blender every 10 or 20 later versions.

I continue working and will continue using 2.78 if you don't like the new 2.80 interface, you can always download the old version of blender or somehow adapt to the new one.

yeah I guess I'll ease into the new interface, you can run away for so long from updates, adapt or die.

@RedSoul92 Exactly friend, as long as they have the previous versions on their website I will not die xD.

The Blender team has been making a push for industry standardization. There and option for blender 2.79x keyboard shortcuts, which I use. In the end I'd say the new interface is a bit of an adjustment but it's still blender.

I must say I'm happy to see eeve engine as default in the new version
