Hi. I often get asked how to work with different project template pages. Of course the user can store .blend file templates into a separate read only folder and create new projects by opening the best matching blend file template. Or use link/append
However maybe it is just a much easier and more intuitive approach to let Blender do part of the organisation by adding a "new from template" option in the main menu: new -> ... Where the user can either click on "new" to get the blender default scene, or navigate down to an entry in the list to get a scene template. Blender might provide example scenes for quick start like: - a rigged low poly character - a hair wig - a nature scene (grass, mountains) - ... This list should not be long (really just 2 or 3 examples) but all entries should be "ready to render" so (new) users can get positive results out of the box. More important: - Users should be able to add their own scene templates here. This could be a new option in the user preferences : "Save as template ..." - Addons should be able to register their own templates here. cheers, Gaia _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
