🧵 My opinion of Blender: Blender is lacking in quality.
Anonymous at Sat, 10 Dec 2022 18:06:40 UTC No. 929202
With much deliberation I have decided whether or not to post this. After all, Blender is free software, so what right do I have to complain? Plus with all these giant corporations hoarding and abusing copyright, it might be good that someone is fighting for less restrictive copyright artistry type of things. On the other hand, I can no longer accept how buggy and dysfunctional of a software that Blender is.
I was very ticked off at first, but I will try to say this in a more neutral tone of voice. Since blender is free. Had I paid for it I would be less polite about it. My complaints are as follows:
I try to edit a large mesh and random objects are not highlighting in edit mode, even though I selected all objects in object mode. So I try to say "what the heck, maybe I will just join all objects hey?" I join all objects and it destroys random parts of my mesh for no aparent reason.
I look online for hours. Feeling lost an overwhelmed, while the search engines are being vague, but eventually I find an article. Something about making sure objects are "selectable", but the blender manual doesn't explain it well. I eventually figure out what to do, make sure the objects are selectable, yet it still fails on me utterly. Those are hours I will never get back.
During this time, Blender has crashed on me several times and I closed an app, which was an inconvenience, yet it still crashes. I ended up updating from 3.2 to 3.4, and no more crashes, yet Select All still fails utterly.
On to other things, such as the camera. The default cam is frustrating to use. I just want to use Walk cam without having to push a hotkey each time and clicking over and over. I don't know why there is a fly cam? When walk cam is just a fly cam but better.
I want to place polygons. Not dragging them around and putting in custom coordinates. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this, or at least not according to what search engines are telling me.
There's much more to discuss than this.

I made this character from scratch in blender and it's still a work in progress. Once i'm finished with the low poly base mesh i will start making different outfits and such. The clothes she wears now are just made to cover up the less blue-friendly bits.
How does she look so far?

why is everyone so obsessed with non-destructive workflows?
who tf has time for boolean modelling?
remember when we just painted on paper without having ctrl z there to block our happy accidents?
talking from the pov of a conceptual artist btw, I get that if you’re just doing technical client work you need it.
But my point is I think non-destructive systems block our creativity and overwhelm us with choice paralysis.

Try the dgVoodoo option in the new win10fix settings.

Any luck out there? Unfortunately much fewer options than all others for body type and customization. Like most have said, basically a great face generator with everything else requiring many more steps. Gotten a bit better using blender for sculpting custom meshes like this character as a werewolf and using mesh to metahuman. Physics getting better.
