Title: Freaking OUT!!
Post by: firestar12 on December 05, 2009, 00:52:32
Hey everyone, I'm FREAKING OUT!
I don't know what do to.
Help.
Blender looks different with the Blender 2.5 Beta!! :'( :'(
I'm at odds with the new user interface, I don't know how to feel about it! I like it, but I'm just not sure. I'm not gonna stop using it, but idk, just so much eyecandy, I wish I could show you all the effects they do to camera switches but that's all different. Tell me how you like it.

Now, compare that to the old user interface:
I don't know what to do! I just never thought Blender would look good, I'm not used to it, It really shocked me when I saw this! I really can't tell you how startled I am.

He hasn't seen it. AFAIK, he doesn't know it exists.
I'm scared!
Some of the keyboard shortcuts aren't even the same, it's like a different program.

There's bound to be documentation as to how the new or changed stuff works, Shane..

Don't worry, you'll sort it out easy enough! A tool is just a tool, finding out how to operate it is the easy part. :thumbs:

hmmm, looks nice I guess, but I'm gonna stick with the old version I guess. I might try it out tomorrow, but I gotta go to sleep now, since I've been working from 8pm yesterday to 5 am today, and....(user sleeping)

There isn't one available yet, Ballast. :-\

Fred: I've seen some stuff, but nothing that helps me very much. They say it's not even in the pre-release stage yet, so I guess we'll wait and see. Also, Anfinn, if you stick with the old version, you'll fall behind!

Steady on old boy. Such excitement doesn't do you justice...

My advice, as someone who only found out obout this 'documentation' lark when things went wrong... press buttons, see what happens. Press some more, see what happens... There is a phrase for this, but I can't remember what it is...

Oh yes, 'trial and error'

One thing that this should teach, though, is not to always assume that Betas are a good thing to try out, unless you have a very roll-back mechanism ready.  ;)

I've always found blender to be really stable. Slow, but stable. I've tried a couple of the new releases (new when I tried them, that is!)

I've figured out everything I need to know now, though, I won't be using the Blender alpha because it's nowhere near complete, not even in beta form yet.

which would be evident in the term alpha, of course..   ;D
