What's the point of creating such toy 3D programs? Blender already has huge amount of free training material, any serious development effort would want to integrate with its UI, rather than strip it away.
- KeplerBoy 3y agoI'd imagine those programs would have a very different aim than Blender itself. I'm thinking of scientifc simulation tools, which would benefit from interactive 3D graphics. Coding that with a traditional game engine is a no-go for researchers.
- ptrott2017 3y agoBlender Apps are on the medium to long term plans for the Blender foundation (i.e. planned on roadmap but not currently under active development). The Blender team currently have a lot of projects on and are resource bound so have prioritized focus on finishing developments such as Evee Next, GPU compositing etc before starting other projects such as Apps.

- KeplerBoy 3y agoHappy to see the idea is not abandoned!
- incrudible 3y agoBlender is already being used for that purpose, it doesn't have a specific aim, and that is one of its strengths. The question remains: Why would you strip away and partially re-implement all the UI? You never know what your users might have needed that you took away.
