I don't know as much as the others here, but I can say I experienced something very similar to what you described in Blender recently too. It drove me nuts for days. Finally I figured out it must have been the driver update I installed to my geforce gtx card from my geforce experience panel. I contacted nvida for help, and they directed me a page that walked me through how to roll back the driver update. Sure enough, after I did that and rebooted my system, Blender began working fine again. This wasn't Blender 2.78 though. It was maybe 2.76 or 7. Anyways good luck. Hope you can figure it out.

I like it! Not sure it's a good replacement for an external or dedicated paint software, but in a pinch it could work well.

Thanks for the link, Lux. We already have a display all edges option for objects in Blender. I'm guessing that this is a major improvement of that feature? He said in the video that it was more difficult than he thought to make that happen, so I'm thinking it must be very much improved.

Thank you for making this, Lobo! I never considered running multiple versions of Blender. The only time I thought about this was when they did away with certain addons in legacy versions that I enjoyed using, like the screencast keys in 2.72. I've never made proper tutorials yet but I have shared some quick tip videos with others, and those came in handy. I didn't have to record my awful voice. LOL.

Thanks, Luxxeon!

That's great! Lookin forward to the Blender version. I tried to follow this one, but the soft select thing in 3dsmax is different then the proportional edit tool. Not sure what to do at those parts.

Yeah, they're all gone from Squid now. Looks like you can still see preview samples of them when you type it in the search box, but the results go to a 404.

How good is the SpaceNavigator? Anyone using that?

Yea this looks great and all but Kaspersky put it in quarantine. I'm a little scared to take it out and exclude it. Has anyone else had this issue? Never had a problem with any other software.

That looks like one of the plastic golf balls my grandfather used to practice with in the yard when I was young. I followed your tutorial in Blender, and it worked out perfectly. The only difference is in Blender the object is called a Ico Sphere, and instead of chamfer, we would use bevel. My only question is the size of the bevels. Is there a way to tell in Blender the diameter of the holes? I see you using millimeters for the chamfer width in 3ds, and I have my scene set to use metric in Blender, but the bevel is just using the same numbers it always does, regardless of the scene scale? So how do you get precise holes like that in Blender?

Hm. It's hard to beleive there isn't a tool like that in Blender. I don't know what that Offset Edge Slide thing actually does. I see it in my Tools panel on the left, but if I select an edge, click the button, and then what? Nothing happens. Tried a number of times here, but nothing happens. Can't understand what i'm doing wrong. It seems to only work if you use control,shift and R, then right mouse button, with Loop Cut and Slide. Doesn't it work on existing edges though?

Hey, if you work with booleans, have you seen the BoolTool addon for Blender? This thing is wild. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDBKNhxmVRE

Ok, I had to look up the flower of life to see what it is. Uh... It's pretty crazy that a simple geometric pattern can have such an historic artistic value! Learned something today guys. haha.

Happy New Year to you too!

Wait... are you saying Hexagon has something 3dsmax has, but Blender doesn't?? I think my brain just fell out of my head. Can... not... compute!
