Hi,

Thanks a lot for the mention. If anyone is interested I’ve written a paper based on the presentation with some more information, available here:

hello matt! the presentation was brillant! William has a nice and stylish style for the design, …also like you! you both think that minimal things are better and the interface doesnt have to take our attention.
Well, I want to show you my own mockup (yes!, the presentation inspired me!) Tell me your thoughts and critics please!
Regards

Agreed, i’m still hovering on the edges of jumping into blender, his presentation cleared up a lot of confusion for me; I was never sure where the tools were vs attributes vs actions, now I understand that they’re all jumbled together at the moment. Will be great to see that all cleared up.

Nice presentation.

And while it’s certainly not what the core of the message, I do like the way the proposed widgets look too :) (apart form the checkbox).

William read my mind :) I completely agree.

That presentation was brilliant.

It is very good to know that such talking is taking place on the Conference. I like a lot the concept of Blender’s UI, but it has some important glitches that need to be fixed. As William made very clear, this is the time to do this.

I’d love to help on it too. :)

He’s on the money. That all looks great, especially the multiple object stuff which is pretty much one of my biggest gripes (rememebr how much I banged on about it at the belgium beer bar :))

Had to agree with everything. William’s presentation was such an incredible way to present concept that are from other paradigms and “blend” them into the blender thinking. I think it touched the hearth of even the more conservative users.

Looking forward to what you’ll come up with guys!
