Neve mind. 2.8.1 is next beta. Sorry

https://www.blender.org/download/releases/2-81/

No worries

I think what I may do is move back to 2.79 for modeling

2.8 for rendering...

2.8 is much much much better. Stick with it, you won't look back

You have to do it at some point anyway

I know. I'm loving it already except for the lack of the background image feature

I can't even model properly without that feature. It's paramount to how I work

Why they removed that feature is beyond me. It was far simpler in the old blender and you didn't have the blueprints cluttering the workspace like they do now.

I add my references into a collection called "References" and just turn that on and off as needed, but each to his own. You do what works for you.

I think I'm getting the hang of it but it's so much more work than it was before

Takes a lot longer setting up blueprints

Okay set up the blueprints for the Samil 100

Got the hang of it now. But I must say I still prefer the old method

It was far quicker and less actions to do

@PetraCephas Do you know how to lower the opacity of the blueprint images like you could in 2.79? The white background is quite glaring. Anyway I've finally got a basic block out of the Samil 100. I'll do the soft skin variant first and then the Kwevoel

I don't have that red button for some reason.

You are going shift-A and then add reference image right?

Ja

Or it was background image

not sure which one

Strange

Agh I'll figure it out soon. I wish Blender had been like this all along. It's painful having to completely relearn Blender 😰

Welp that's it for now. Going to take a break as my mind is fried 😉

I'll stick with 1.8 I just hope it gets easier sooner rather than later!

I also have to re-setup the blueprints for the Ratel, Eland, Casspir, Y2 MGL, Vektor R4 and more... Since all of them have lost their blueprint setups due to the switch to 1.8

eish.. maybe you should go back to using the previous version man..

No the new blender is way better @Springbok just have to get use to it

Nah 1.8 is better it's just I have to get used to it. And it's best I start now than later otherwise it's just kicking the can down the road @Bartender

ah okay i see
