This event is part of the October 2018 Class, "Shading & Lighting with Blender"
This first week is a shading and lighting crash course. We're overviewing render engines like Cycles, Eevee, material properties, node editing, mixing BSDFs, the Principled shader, lamps, HDRI's, and Global Illumination.
I'm learning the new UI, but find that my environment images are all pink now, but were viewable in 2.79
Pie menus, you either like them or don't it seems. I personally don't have an issue with them.
Imagine Blender suddenly becoming a runaway industry success, and skilled Blender-users becoming in-demand....
Like changing the tab key (since redacted), select all/deselect all, z-wireframe (since redacted afaik). Those were hard to swallow for many
I think you're spot on Stephan. While it *can* feel like a slight slap in the face to long-time users, it's ultimate a good thing imo
Change is always difficult.
and it adds a lot to Blender being more accessible to users of commercial software imho ;)
oh no doubt.. and the recent changes don't seem to be intrusive at all.. it's more about "modern" visuals ;)
Yeah I had a number of "I don't like this" moments playing with 2.8 in the beginning - but it's really grown on me, and they keep making a whole lot of impressive progress with it.
True that, Grady
