Perhaps you have "Move object centers only" active, that's the button next to the "center" selection (cursor, bounding box, etc). Personally I prefer creating an empty (SPACE->Add->Empty) and constraining the camera to it (Select Camera, F7->Add Constraint, Type: Track To, Target: Empty (or what you...

The textured planes will fail if you need to change the drawmode while working (e.g. to enable wireframe for a moment). Sure, there are workarounds but they are lacking. The background-per-view would really be appreciated.

It'll be less distorted the fewer triangles you use for the model, quads usually cause very little distortion.

Some actions like "turn edge" and "make quad" ignore edges that form too sharp an angle. That's extremely annoying when I can't delete geometry because I already UVmapped it. Sometimes triangulation in an area creates those edges and I'd like to remove them so I try to turn them but Blender ignores ...

What happened to edgeloop select?

Is it normal for this build to crash when loading a file with armatures in it and is there a way to convert old Blender files to new ones or do we have to wait until backwards compatibility is implemented?

Ah, cool!

How will it solve the different ways of working, e.g. smoothing groups vs. hard/soft edge or MAX biped vs. bones?

Some artists found that they'd like an application that allows multiple people to work on one scene in realtime over the network. Means both see the same scene and what one user changes both (or all, if multiple users are supported) see immediately in their app. A comparable system is Opencanvas but...

Use the Flip Normals button in Edit Mode. Make sure that Doublesided is off so you can actually see which faces go where (also try CTRL-N if your mesh has no edges with more than two polies)

Go into Face mode (F from object mode), select your faces, press shift-f10 for UV view and choose the texture (it's somewhere in those menus).

Drawing a line around the vertices is slower than drawing a diagonal over them and having all within the rectangle be selected. Speed is important with such a common process.

I'm not sure you can parent anything to a vertex or edge. I used the term object here as the top class from which all other classes are derived.

Whatever you're doing you better hope it has performance a few orders of magnitude better than the Game Engine. The DS doesn't have any ressources to spare for the overhead general purpose functions generate, a Blender Game would kill the hardware even if it had only one fourth of the complexity a D...

It would be VERY helpful if Python scrips could add custom attributes to any form of Blender object (vertex, face, lamp, object, curve, node, ...). The point of this is that your script could mark objects for its purposes (e.g. flag a vertex as "modify" to know which ones to change). Keeping separat...
