2.8 is a big step forward for the new user experience.

They’re also finally switching the default to left click select. Having to select with right click was one of the big things that made the UI feel really alien for anyone who hasn’t used it a lot.
- Washuu 7y agoBlender 2.8 is literally the reason I am starting to actually learn 3D modelling. I have repeatedly tried 2.7 and could never get around that clunky interface along with the default mouse controls.

- wlesieutre 7y agoIt hasn’t hit the official release yet, but I would. Otherwise you’re learning an interface that’ll go away in a month. One benefit of 2.7 is that there are a more preexisting tutorials out for it, but 2.8 is getting quite a few as well. I haven’t been following too closely on what the best new tutorials are, but I saw some linked here the other day: https://reddit.com/r/blender/comments/by7ejt/having_bounced_off_blender_many_times_i_gave_28_a/ https://reddit.com/r/blender/comments/by7ejt/having_bounced_...
- asutekku 7y agoIt is a good step forward. However a lot damage has been done already as blender is known to be the tool that is extremely hard to learn. It’s hard to lose the mark when it’s there.
