Blender UI Proposal

Holland · Oct 19, 2013

So I was going through my email, and I don't know if many of you ever heard of Andrew Price but he's a really good Blender mentor, trainer etc. But I was talking to him and he told me he had released a new video and article talking about his new Proposal. He's trying to recreate Blender in a b]new way, take a look:

From Andrew:Main Problems with Current UI:

Inconsistent - Some operations, terminology and mouse functions differ, depending on the screen or operation.

Unfamiliar - Mouse functionality difficult for newcomers as left-click for select is the UX standard

Recall instead of Recognition - Heavy use of keyboard shortcuts make users think.

Poor Error Prevention - Blender let’s operations proceed that will cause errors.

Poor Feedback – Many button presses don’t respond immediately. System lag with heavy meshes.

Poor Recovery from Errors – Undo functionality sometimes clears work from other modes. Crash recovery hard to use.

Visually Complicated - Too many buttons. Should adhere to Gestalt Principles. Text too small. Wireframes too dark for good readability.

Not Goal Oriented (the main one) – Too much emphasis on customization and not enough on users common tasks. Results in slower workflows, and confused users.

Now I just want to know all your opinions on this, how would this effect "Your personal" use of Blender:

If it will help you use Blender better?

Would you like the workflow better?

Could and would you use it?

Do you feel Blender need's this?

My personal opinion I would love to see this in Blender. Please let me know your thoughts.
