Blender 2.5 Tour (via blenderlabrat) – UPDATED

Blender 2.5 Tour (via blenderlabrat) – UPDATED: "

You can now find 3 new videos on blenderlabrat’s blog about his Blender 2.5 Tour.

There as been a lot of changes since his first tour of 2.5 and I think it’s worth taking a look at this new tour now because the new version of Blender is getting closer and closer to its final look and I think that’s a good starting point for people to have a real and nice sneak peak of what it’s going to be.

The 1rst part covers (user interface) :

• Context! what it is and how to understand it


• UI manipulation, split, join, rip, swap areas


• 3dview tools pane and repeat last operator
