Blender Gets Audio Sequencing

Qbertino writes "The universal GPLd 3D tool Blender that was bought free by the Blender community not so long ago, has gotten audio sequencing added to its feature set. This has been missing ever since the integrated Video NL (Non-Linear) Editor/Sequencer was introduced. The only other 3D package known for its integrated Video NLE is the proprietary Houdini, which also runs under Linux but comes at something like $3000 for its small featureset. This finally gives the OSS community a lightweight alternative to this and eases syncing 3D animation and audio a great deal. Audio sequencing will be integrated in the upcoming 2.28 release of Blender. Early adopters can download here."

All very nice, but... by Anonymous Coward · 2003-05-24 14:11 · Score: 0, Redundant

Blender has some really nice features, but the user interface really is as bad as its critics say. I have tried to get comfortable with blender a half-dozen times now, but every time I have realised that it isn't worth damaging my brain like that. I am no expert, but I managed to pick up 3ds MAX in a couple of hours, but blender is utterly opaque.

It is a great shame, as there are a ton on brillint features buried beneath that hideous UI.
