![]() ![]() View Layers can have specific viewport settings overrides (as well as render settings). However the number of samples, or whether to use AO are a perfect fit for a Workspace. Some hand-picked render settings will be exposed to the Workspaces as well as Scene, we are calling them viewport settings.įor instance AO distance depends on Scene scale, and would be an annoyance to set per Workspace. This enables for example Object Mode and Edit Modes in a viewport rendering Cycles. The overlay engine draws on top of the Viewport’s own drawing engine. Some settings are still allowed to stay per-object (e.g., motion path and ghost settings), but whether to display them belongs to the Workspace. This includes all the tool and display related settings. For example: “show normals”, “brush size”, “objects origins”. In 2.8 all of the edit modes are part of an overlay engine system and their settings are all stored in the Workspace. It might also include custom keymaps and active add-ons. Workspaces are simply a wrapper on top of the Blender Screens with extra added functionality such as drawing engine, view layer and viewport settings. Workspaces allow users to build up a working environment for a specific task. Please read this if you’re not familiar with the very powerful new concepts for 2.8 layers. The View Layer system for Blender 2.8 will integrate workflow and drawing, allowing for better Scene organization and viewport control. ![]() An in-depth redesign of our functional user interface.Targets better left alone for Blender 3.0 Targets with vague design to be discussed further Separation of existing grease pencil annotation tools and grease pencil objects.Interleaved global/local undo stack (material changes in Edit Mode are currently not registered by Undo).Replace Derived Mesh (internal modifier storage) with new system (using new Dependency Graph).Replace legacy OpenGL with newer OpenGL (3.3 core for now).Everything proxyable (static overrides).Amber asset engine (basic, local asset management).Pipeline for complete 2d animation with grease pencil.Blender 101 – optimize the interface for specific tasks.Top bar with global tool area, and headers.To make sure the development doesn’t drag forever, and everyone knows what we are working towards we will define the 2.8 project goal and targets as: End-user targets The Blender 2.8 workflow release original plan was rather ambitious. This feedback will be processed after the intended design has been implemented. More settings and viewport overrides might be brought in order to accommodate artist feedback. The render and viewport settings are being shared by all the editors. That means there is always a single active Scene, visible objects, drawing engine, (editing) mode, and render engine. Big pictureĮach Blender window has all of its editors sharing the same state. The idea is to optimise one’s personal workflow better, instead of trying to maintain a single configuration that attempts to provide all the possible tasks at the same time for everyone. 2.8 will allow Blender template/configurations to start with reduced or different user interfaces.” Emphasis is on helping specialists or to enable specialist tasks better. “Blender 2.8 will enable artists to work faster and more efficient. UI and further usability design of features will happen after this, as an ongoing project. It will allow to empower everyone to contribute more efficiently. It is meant to provide focus and general agreement on technical design decisions. This document is for Blender developers and other contributors to the 2.8 project. ![]()
