MONDAY! Q&A #119 | Blender.Today LIVE

There's a small task that needs Pablo's review about the UI for switching between objects in Sculpt mode:

developer.blender.org/D7510

It looks like a small thing to decide on, bit will improve usability and user experience very much for almoat no effort at all. So please, can you take a look at this?

Hi my question is why blender is too hard to learn

Will blender ever finish adding all of it's functions into the industry keys? If not is there a master list we can compare the keys so we can go through and do it ourselves?

Since I see no other questions here im gonna ask another one.

The upcoming consoles look very powerful and the xbox series x is rumoured to have keyboard and mouse support, if microsoft allowed the blender foundation to put blender on their console store is that something you guys would do?

The specs of them are pretty much pcs so I would assume there would be no compatabily issues.

Hello Pablo! I have two questions if possible:

-Do you know how many of the Outliner features from the last summer of code will be already implemented in 2.91?

-I know this is a long time question, Did something moved recently regarding the updating/refactoring/subsitution of texture nodes, specifically their implementation within modifiers like the displace modifier?

Hey Pablo, I asked a few weeks back about whether there had been any recent talks about Pointiness support for EEVEE, and you mentioned that you'd have to ask Clement. Any chance there have been any updates? :)

When will it be possible to grab and move objects in VR?

Have you seen recent advancements in Auto Remesher by Jeremy Hu? twitter.com/jeremyhu2016/status/1304437443068788742

Os there any chance that it will be integrated in Blender at some point?

Hola Pablo! Have this question - I purchased a Khaos Explosions plugin, but the author claims that Mantaflow is bugged past version 2.82

The plugin seems to work fine in 2.82 but in 2.83 onwards it does not. Was wondering if Mantaflow is actually bugged, or his plugin is just not updated for the later versions. I have seen threads that seem to point to similar issues with Mantaflow such as this one: blenderartists.org/t/2-83-mantaflow-smoke-volume-rendering-error/1234009

Thanks for all the hard work Blender team! I'm rather new to the platform, but I'm enjoying learning Blender a ton, and the community is awesome :)

PS: I'm experiencing more crashes in 2.9 than I had in 2.83, is there a way to narrow down what's causing the crashes? (I'm suspecting one of the plugins I'm using maybe).

So far is 2.9 is good. But I want to see two features: history for some operations like a bridge (like in Autodesk software) to avoid CTRL+Z if you did something wrong. And interactive creation for primitives ( I think you already annonce that)

Blender recently reached it's funding goal for 20 full time employees. Does Blender actually have 20 full time employees now or are you still looking for people to hire? Just curious. =D

will gpu rendering be available for macos users?

Will there ever be a way to draw a freestyle line between overlapping meshes?

​When can we expect to get motion tracking capabilities for VR devices?

2.9 is stable for me! Good job (:

Hi Pablo I'm a UX designer, I proposed a very simple new add to make windows management more clear, what do you think?

Hi Pablo! sorry if i play dirty… :) can you give some love to this super small papercut? :D devtalk.blender.org/t/paper-cuts-side-toolbar-slightly-expanded-on-default/14798

why blender is to had

start

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a specific place to find out if something is a bug or a future.

Hey Pablo

Recently I was looking to see if it was possible to time remap the whole scene in blender and I know blender has the time remapping feature but you cant keyframe it, the only other way I discovered is you have to put your scene into the video sequence editor but you can only do this if you duplicate your scene (think thats a bug) and then add a speed control strip.

To me this feels clunky there are addons that allow you to animate time remap within the layout panel and graph it within the graph editor but they are old, just wanted to know if this was something you guys have thought of adding?

IS THERE ANY WAY TO SELECT ALL OBJECTS USING JUST ONE SHORTCUT OR ONE CLICK IN 2.9? ... SHORTCUT "A" BRINGS LOTS OF OPTIONS...

Hey Pablo! Would the Blender Foundation consider a collaboration with the Godot team to make an open source game together to flex the combined power of Blender + Godot? It could be a great way to improve the workflow between both and show off Blender's usefulness in the game dev industry. =D

IS THERE ANY SIMPLE SHORTCUT TO SELECT ALL OBJECTS IN ONE CLICK IN 2.9?

Why can Blender not export .gif? I would love to see that, since .gif feels like a hard to access file type

Are there plans for procedural generation tooling along the lines of Houdini? Could be very helpful especially in conjuction with hiding CPU/GPU intensive steps to keep the viewport fluid.

my job is to create 3D assets for HMi design for automobiles, blender FBX is not compatibility with Altia and Kanzi tools and this tools fully compatible with maya

We're planning a second community meetup (Zoom) here in Israel (we had a blender meetup in August with 50 participants and a blender conference in January with 150+ participants). Would you be willing to give a talk about the future of Blender? It's a virtual meetup, of course

Why was notification (object deleted etc notification) moved to right bottom corner in 2.9?? It used to be in the center and that was good position for it

​I have been using blender since the last year I have used eevee and cycles, really keen on what workbench does, anyone please tell me what workbench is used for..

hi i have low end pc 2.8 not supported please help

What are your thoughts on the Compositor-Up branch? Is this part of the official Blender development, and will it become part of Blender? blender.community/c/graphicall/Cpbbbc/

Recommendations for good drawing tablets for Blender

What features are likely to make it into Blender 2.91 which aren't yet currently in master? I like spoilers. =D

Hi Pablo, Since you talked about baking, I'd like to promote this node based idea / approach.

Hope it gets some love. :)
