Smart Adaptive UI Based on User Skill Level

Blender has a very complex interface that can feel overwhelming, especially for new users. At the same time, advanced users want faster access to powerful tools.

I suggest introducing a “Smart Adaptive UI” system that automatically adjusts the interface based on the user’s experience and usage behavior.

For example, beginners would see a simplified interface with only essential tools, while experienced users would automatically get access to advanced panels and shortcuts. The system can learn from user actions and gradually unlock or highlight more features over time.

This approach removes the need for manually switching modes and creates a smoother learning experience.

Benefits:

Personalized interface for every user Faster learning curve for beginners Improved workflow for advanced users Cleaner and more efficient workspace Better overall user experience

This feature can make Blender more user-friendly while still keeping its powerful capabilities.

Hi, I downvoted this for multiple reasons: cost of design and maintenance, potential discoverability and exploration blocker so in practice could actually slow learning and finally the proposal missing concrete design or technical approach for skill evaluation. I think this is the role of learning materials to simplify things and focus the user.
