I have an idea for a feature that I think would really help game devs. Basically there should be a tiling modifier that doesn't just tile like a wallpaper, but instead allows you to define a full topology of which tiles should match eachother at which edges. It could look like a node editor for tiles essentially. Then any further editing should automatically be reflected across the relevant geometry/materials. This would allow much faster generation of tileable assets for complex things like shorelines and paths through overlapping terrain biome blends.

The biggest elephant in the room is the shitty animation pipeline. They're so proud with their library overrides and asset collection when it's basically half-assed. You can't even use geo nodes, a feature that they've sperged for years, with rigs because of 'limitations'. The only feature I want is for them to get their shit together.

The one that makes them stop working on their shitty grease pencil and start working on making Geonodes, Drivers and Attributes work together way better than they do now. Would do wonders for rigging, animating, modeling and shading. Can't articulate how infuriating it was to read their '24 roadmap and see geonodes being halted for that fucking scribble tool.

I barely do animation, I remember that to make drivers and such was a shitfest and that the performance was horrible, performance is the main problem also in sculpt and edit mode, other than that they could add the retopo tools needed in edit mode, layers for sculpt mode, repeat last stroke, vertex colors in the multires, support for textures in the mesh filter, animation layers, animation nodes, texture layers with quick bake like Substance painter, smart materials, better booleans like boxcutter/hardops and a fuckton of other shits.

The bottom line is that Grease Pencil or not, the animation system is broken and has been for 15 years and that's because Blender people prefer to author animations in proper software and then just import them at the end.

>Isn't NLA exactly this?
Currently it is technically possible to work with layered animation in Blender. It would require using the NLA, creating an Action for each layer and placing those on different tracks. Technically possible, but not a pleasure to work with. Not only does this create plenty of different Actions, it also makes it very hard to perform edits across layers, for example when retiming.
To exacerbate the situation, as already described above, NLA data cannot be linked as a separate ‘thing’ like Actions can, so taking these layered animations further through the production pipeline can be problematic.
The goals for a new animation layering system are:
One data-block that contains all the layers.
Tools for cross-layer editing, much like the Dope Sheet can edit keys in multiple F-Curves across different data-blocks.
Open up the possibility to put non-F-Curve data on layers. These could filter / manipulate animation from lower layers, like modifiers, or introduce new animation data, like simulations.
Make it possible to animate on top of those non-F-Curve layers.

When you join geometry in geo nodes, any vertex group gets converted into regular attributes which breaks interaction with the armature modifier. I wanted to make rigged game assets where they easily export into a single object. There were other rigged objects that I wanted to make with geo nodes but is simply not possible because of the limitation.

I guess you have to convert everything produced by geonodes to meshes before rigging.
Anyway, external game engines don't understand any Blender modifiers, so there is nothing Blender even theoretically can do to allow you do game assets with unapplied geonodes.

Much like javascript it was made to be different just to be different and as such has glaring issues in it's desperate bid to be unique.
It was adopted purely on the merit of being free and as such has exploded in popularity much like js, not as a result of quality but adoption by tards.
Some excel at using it for art in spite of the software but they would also excel in any other software package if they had started there.
The reality is it's carried hard by a few competent creatives and programmers contributing to the code and community freely but as a 3d package it is quite shit in comparison to other well established packages.
Sadly, autodesk are so greedy it's reaching cartoon villain levels and are also surviving purely by virtue of a preexisting community and industry but they have effectively priced themselves out of competition years ago and as such are unlikely to survive another generation.

It seems like zero consideration has been taken to make keyboard shortcuts readily accessible without you having to move your hand all over the keyboard while looking at it to find the right key for even the most common shortcuts.
This becomes doubly egregious when it seems like the entire application is dependent on your memorizing five trillion shortcuts and trying to click to what you need through the ui takes 20 additional unnecessary steps.
Even long standardized navigation shortcuts have been arbitrarily changed.

After seeing dozens of programming languages of all kinds, imperative, functional, oo, meta, logic, you won't find anything new in JS.
On the opposite, it's cheap dirty pragmatic language to get shit done. I wonder which naming conventions piss you off.
I was a bit pissed by C#, because it called function that was called "map" for good hundred of years by logicians, mathematicians and computer scientists a fucking "Select".
The same goes for "filter" -> "Where", "flatMap" -> "SelectMany", etc. But that's really a minor thing, and they only did it because of LINQ overloading thing.
But JS doesn't do such things, it's very conformist comparing to C# in this regard.

No this doesn't work because the algorithm for the stroke is still essentially trying to calculate a brush radius on an X by X grid on of pixels, you're just cutting that radius in half. The brush painting algorithm is just the completely wrong implementation of this idea and they put no thought into the ramifications of this change and how it would break things going forward.
