Seriously it is definetly worth the couple of hours getting used to.īeen using 2.8 for about 150 hrs now and never wanted to go back, it is just orders of magnitude of a better toolkit now. The entire viewport drawing looks way better now, and you can get great results within mere seconds or in realtime where previously you'D have to render for minutes. Not to mention all the improvements to cycles and the amazing Eevee renderer. can conveniently be appended.Īnyhow if your PC has Open GL 3.3 and a nice GPU.2.8 is such a MASSIVE improvement in all regards: It is super stable very smooth handles big scenes much better GPU ram limit is gone as it can now use your PCs RAM to buffer data once your GPU is full the collections are so much more versatile principled BSDF shader is pure gold since edit multiple objects at the same time. ![]() There are some things that changed but alot of stuff is still compatible, especially objects, meshes, etc. There are some simple tweaks that might be helpful.when loading a 2.7x file.uncheck the box 'Load UI' so the old UI doesnt gets loaded into 2.8 for a start.Īlso the Layers are a bit out of whack for 2.7x files, regarding their visibility and the fact that the layers are turned into collections 1-20 upon opening. So, I currently use non steam 2.79b for old projects (I don't use Steam because it's 2.79a, I don't think anything happens but just in case I don't use it) and verisón 2.8 (steam) for new projects, although I don't understand the interface, with 2.79 I make the models that I want in a few minutes, with 2.8 trying to do it or even after several hours I have not even managed to start xDĬould you describe some of the things which don't work when using a 2.7x project in 2.8? ![]() Apparently Steam interprets the keys slowly, for example, in my case it happens to me whenever I use the Shift key to scroll through the scene and then press Tab to enter the edit mode, although there are a few seconds between the pressed, Steam interprets I have pressed Shift + Tab at same time, nothing is shown but it leaves blender locked.Ĭounting the hours is fine to calculate how much you dedicate to a job, then there is the topic of the forum, it is fast and you always get an answer and do not waste time looking for a forum and have to register and other problems and then the artwork, upload, share, you do not need a domain, server or whatever is your own to show your work. On the other hand I use the stable versions that are in Steam because the developing versions fail a lot and almost a few minutes the program is closed or the file is damaged.Īs far as adding the executable as a NON STEAM game is a bad idea, Steam overlay conflicts with Blender so that the program seems to stay locked when you actually have the Steam menu open but its not shown on screen, so blender is completely blocked and you have to lose what you have not saved. The reason is for compatibility, almost all the projects I have are from version 2.78 updated to 2.79 and for some reason it doesn't seem to work in 2.80. I currently have version 2.79b non-steam and 2.80 Steam. (tho adding the exe as non steam game would do the same).

If you are into daily builds, experimental branches and such.you won't find that on STEAM but either on or graphicall.Īs a fairly frequent user the STEAM version works fine for me, for some older projects i still keep some legacy versions around. ![]() But as blender is so slim, portable and runs without installation one can have as much blender versions around as they fancy. Kind of a crap choice for productivity software.įinal verdict.STEAM version has these little gimmicks going for it. On a side note: If you close STEAM, it will actually terminate the blender process aswell. Especially with the release of 2.8 that caused some irritation among some folks. So you are either forced to use the latest blender STEAM version or use BETA tab to roll back a previous version. With STEAM, updates are mandatory once you want to run the program it will update. There are some little things worth mentioning. Some people simply use STEAM version, as they like to track the hours spent on blender, quick access to these forums and eventually let their friends know that they are using blender at that moment. Well they are basicly the same official releases.
