  1. full undo? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Finally....

    Now if only there was a way to switch it between windowed and fullscreen mode... from within blender. Well, actually, running it in windowed mode then letting the kde kwin window manager manage fullscreen works, but windowed mode should be the default.

    I work all the time with GIMP and Blender open at once, people don't even knoq you can do that half the time... because the windowed flag to blender on the command line is so obscure in this day and age of pointy clickiness.

    If you are eternally pissed off by blender's amiga-like-only-without-the-vital-ability-to-flip- screens-to-other-apps fullscreen interface.... just start it with -w.

    P.S. Blender people: why not put a "minimise" button in the top right hand corner even in fullscreen mode that switches off the screen grab and minimises the application in the usual fashion.

    blender. one hand on the mouse, the other one on the keyboard. fastest and easiest modelling ever. it just plain rocks.

    im currently using it with a simple self-written python script to export meshes (with animation) and load them in my opengl app. for free.

    never saw an easier and faster interface (if you get used to it) in any other package.

    i think im using it since version 1.25. sometime 1998 or something. and the original manual is a treasure :) hey i even had bought a C-key! and when they went broke, i got the tutorial book #1 for free, with the cd. mr basic et al.

    greetings ton :)
