I just downloaded the latest build version. I messed around a little and after I decided close the window. Then something remarcable happened: Blender asked me if I want to save the changes of the file!! This is really powerful. Wow!! (ironic mode on)
This "little" detail can make the difference between an amateur software and a professional softare, according the eyes of film industry or advertising studios. I'm sure Blender had loose a lot of opportunities because of "details" like this. I'm happy the developers finnaly corrected this unnecessary gap.

I didn´t even tried 2.8 yet... gonna be interesting

[UnrealEngine_Master]

you can also double-tap "A" to deselect all

[Numocron]

Wow this is a really interesting tutorial, love it. :D

Did you also notice that the .dae exporter now exports a lot more stuff, like bones, animations, etc...? i.e. seems to be catching up with the Better Collada exporter addon from Godot. Or has it always been like this and I didn't know? I'm interested in that since I would like to use Blender 2.8 to model for Godot, but without the Better Collada addon working on 2.8 (2.7x only) it's a bit hard

Nice tutorial! I have one request/suggestion for your low poly game kit. Can you show us how to make the character sheath/keep the weapon on his back or side and we can draw/sheath at will?

Please make video on 'How to make blender plugin'

I noticed the default cube has triangles in 2.80. What's up with that? Is there a way of going back to quads?

[daadood]

So far I like your videos and how you explain, what I dont get yet is that you say that to select short key is A and to Deselected is ALT A, well I try the Alt A and it does not work instead it show blue lines to select Screen to freeze and save the portion of the section that you selected what is that about ? Please reply with an answer will you . Is that any version that I have download so far not only the short Key command does not work but the latest version build that I have download the cube when goes in edit mode is split in triangular.

[BobbyJ]

I'm still using the 2.7x keyboard shortcuts. Can you go over the basic shortcuts for 2.8?

[JenkoRun]

It's amazing their still not charging anything for this.

Btw, why do all other major 3d softwares like Maya start in tris instead of quads? Most exported models that I've downloaded from them are modelled in tris.

hey bro, how about rigify addon in 2.8.. ?

[MrGianpierozazoo]

hello, i don't understand why the x-ray mode is not in my display of armature bones

Hi, Sorry to ask a question about something you didn't talk about, but I wonder if you know anything about converting text or bezier curve to mesh in 2.8. It doesn't work for me. The object just stays as a text or mesh. I made a simple square using a curve to test it and it worked, then spent an hour making a more complicated curve and it won't convert to a mesh. Text won't convert, either. Is there a new box to check somewhere? Thanks~

[LatvianDman]

Thank You for video. I have a tricky question. I am in Blender (2.79) just a little bit, after i started UE4 last November. Now impossible question: should i "stop" dig deeper in old Blender and accept 2.8 as my basis? Or not. Please? :)

[bachadamlesvr]

Great tutorial.
I don't know why blender 2.79 and 2.8 refuse to lunch on my computer (dual core window 7).

[alperenozgur]

how you track changes btw? i cant find any human-readable release notes lol.
