bforartists 2.0 Released
bforartists 2.0 was just released. bforartists is a fork of Blender aimed at making Blender more usable for artists, new users and indie developers with a series of changes including new keymaps, icons, workflow and completely new documentation.
Key changes over traditional Blender include:
- custom key mapping
- mouse only navigation (great for touch screens like the Surface)
- widget manipulation with cursor off widget
- keymaps can switch between BForArtists and Blender
- theme has coloured icons and increased contrast
- icons in menus, 2x more icons
- removal of duplicate menus, if its in toolshelf, it’s not in the menu
- menus for all hotkey only items (such as Text->Move Cursor)
- reduced number of workspace templates
- left aligned text in menus such as toolbox
- lock camera to view icon
- primitive toolbar in 3D viewport, customizable and dynamic to mode
- bforartist targeted at beginners and indie developers, not pros
- PDF manuals (WIP) with more detail, in PDFs
