Thanks the config is awesome - was stuck @ Boolean pie menu not appearing at Edit mode. I did a split to new object - Object mode - selected the two object and - finally Boolean pie appeared. Thanks for your tutorial. learnt a lot and your config is amazing !! CLEAN AND INTUITIVE. Waiting for new blender tutorial by you...will definitely buy$$
Hands down the best user friendly config for blender, especially if you're a 2d artist with not much prior 3d baggage aka muscle memory for vanilla configs. I have tried to use vanilla blender and have about 2 years experience in Maya, but this is still super easy to jump into and I highly recommend it to everyone. Thanks Vaughan, you're doing gods work by updating these consistently even after all these years!
Hey Vaughan! Could you show me what I would have to install if I just wanted the theme and the cool preview mode you got going on? I'm too used to the blender shortcuts and can't get my head around it thanks !!!!!
So basically I have to install this.. At the sacrifice of changing my entire Blender interface... What the actual? Most of the modelling work I do does NOT even need this thing! I'm removing this as I've been using 3DS Max for 20 years now and I merely see this as somebody making their own version of a Blender interface and actually serves no other purpose but to confuse. I literally followed a tutorial, that was using this tool, and I thought "I really don't see the need for this.. In fact I'd actually work faster without it. I can literally follow this tutorial WITHOUT even using this..." I mean I appreciate you making this, I really do! It's just not for everybody I guess... All the best on its future development though!
yeah.. danger of using customized version. Could leave one confused when faced with default version or lead to problem when long term support is lost XD
Hey Vaughan Thanks as always for the excellent work. it seems boolean and pie menus break on the latest blender (3.0 beta etc) Is there a way to fix it or do you know what causes it?
Hey! I've subscribed couple weeks ago and I'm trying to learn the lore of this channel bit by bit. Could you recommend a specific video to learn more about the heavypoly config? Thank you!!
Take a look at his Gumroad tutorials. He has some free ones on there that explain hotkeys and simple modeling, as well as some more advanced paid tutorials.
Hi Vaughan Thank you so much for making modelling a ton of fun with Blender! I've noticed two issues with the 2.9 build and your config (I'm on windows and downloaded your config 3 days ago): 1. When I select an item in the scene collection menu and stay with the mouse inside the menu (to keep the context) and hit X to delete, I get an error message. It mentions the Heavypoly config and incorrect context. 2. When I hit Ctrl Alt Shift Space for the Area pie in a window everything works except for the UV editor, there I get an error message. I have to select it "manually" with the window menu.
Hi Vaughan I truly love your blender script. I have a problem I can’t sort. If I use the mirror pie it mirror all the mesh in the collection although they are not selected.
Hi Vaughan. Many thanks. I'm on 3.3.1 release candidate and the config works great! Only, I lose the Hexagon-theme/look. Is this the setup now or is there a way to restore the hexagon theme that was bundled in your config before?
Is there a way to get just the extrude tool improvements? This seems cool but I just don't need all the extra's I already have blender pretty customized and this seems like it changes a bunch of hotkeys
for those of you running into a error on the latest blender version (3.0 Beta) when preforming booleans. vaughan told me to delete the following line in the boolean script : "cutter.cycles_visibility.camera = False and it should work" I deleted all the cycles visibility lines and it seems to work. :D
Is this confit recommended for somebody who just started learning Blender? (My goal is to use it for blockups and in a concept design workflow in general. Is it easier to learn/use it this way or should I learn thenregular Blender ways first?
If I were to go back and do the old NES era tutorials I never got around to, will the new 2.90+ versions of Blender not match your instruction? Thanks for the great content.
Hi there! I have seen Heavypoly for the first time today and I was wondering if it was possible to use Heavypoly in Linux (actually I am using Pop_os) I cannot found any information of how to install it:( Thank you!
Thanks Vaughan. I'm getting crashing right and left using 2.90. I don't think it's related to your scripts. Do you use different builds depending on how reliable you need Blender to be?
@@Heavypoly Thanks. I had used the link in the description of the 2.8 video (just the day before you uploaded this video). I grabbed the latest DL from GitHub after watching this vid. Just haven't had time to use it today. Thanks.
Hey Vaughan!! In 3.0 "inset" hotkey(alt+spacebar) doesn't working for me. But in 2.91 it's working fine until i launched 3.0 - then in doesn't working for both versions Please help)
Hi. Great tutorials! I did the NES Controller with the latest blender and HP configs, but I can't seem to find the "V = draw to cursor" hotkey. You use it pretty often on the tutorial. I checked all the hotkeys on the list in the right window but none of them seem to be it. I bypassed it and did it some other way, but it would be nice to know how to use that. Any idea?
The last time the github was updated was almost a year ago. If I want to use this should I try to get an older Blender version, or will this still work with the newest ones? The video just says "get the newest version" but surely its out of date by now.
Noticed a little bug, under the selection pie if I try to use "split to new object" in object mode it throws an error. I've only taken a cursory glance at you script files and I'm pretty new to blender so not over-familiar with can be done with their python API but if it were possible make that button context-sensitive or throw a little notification box saying you need to not be in object mode for it to work, that'd be awesome. As I'm evaluating this, I can put some issues into github if you'd like? If I make some changes to the script, I'll also do some PRs. Great stuff so far!
@@Heavypoly Heya, so a few weeks have passed and I've actually been working on making some modifications to blender from standard, inspired by a lot of the ideas you've used in the heavypoly config (Modo, obviously) where I'm going at the moment is a slightly different approach to yours, but overall has the same purpose, making blender less horrible to use.

Hi, I have an issue when I install this plugin then the other startup plugins which are in the Appdata/Application support folder stop working.

Could you please confirm if this is a bug or intentional?

Thanks for the update. I was followwing along with an older tutorial and I was having trouble with my blender set up. This seems to have fixed it.

Great video. Glad this customizable UI works even with the keyboard shortcuts. Question: Why didn' you used an application template?
Could never get it to work fully. I think there is an application template version forked from github version by one of the users.

How can i change from left control + space to right click (maya style) for calling the pie ?
Y lock with space bar seems still is a problem in 2.91....
Hi Vaughan I truly love your blender script. I have a problem I can’t sort. If I use the mirror pie it mirror all the mesh in the collection although they are not selected.
Finally!!
ctrl spacebar not working with latest blender, help.
Hi Vaughan. Many thanks. I'm on 3.3.1 release candidate and the config works great! Only, I lose the Hexagon-theme/look. Is this the setup now or is there a way to restore the hexagon theme that was bundled in your config before?
If I update to Blender 2.91 (2020-11-26) will this config work or do I have to download a new one?
Btw, really awesome stuff!
Is there a way to get just the extrude tool improvements? This seems cool but I just don't need all the extra's I already have blender pretty customized and this seems like it changes a bunch of hotkeys
Hi Vaughan!! can this HPpies be used for new current stable 3.0?
Installed smoothly! Though for some reason It wont install different layout themes.. Is there a reason for this?
for those of you running into a error on the latest blender version (3.0 Beta) when preforming booleans. vaughan told me to delete the following line in the boolean script : "cutter.cycles_visibility.camera = False and it should work"
I deleted all the cycles visibility lines and it seems to work. :D
Thanks! Does this mean all future versions of the config will only be for Blender alpha releases?
Yes it has always been updated to match daily build
Is this confit recommended for somebody who just started learning Blender? (My goal is to use it for blockups and in a concept design workflow in general. Is it easier to learn/use it this way or should I learn thenregular Blender ways first?
Yep. This changes only about usability.
Hello! Do you plan to update your config? Bw Can't wait for your new bd video creating amazing stuff from scratch!!)
If I were to go back and do the old NES era tutorials I never got around to, will the new 2.90+ versions of Blender not match your instruction? Thanks for the great content.
It won't match completely, but the hotkeys list on the updated scripts should serve as a translator for hotkeys that have changed.

Yes I usually keep 2 at a time for backup. But I'm usually in latest to catch any bugs. 2.90 has been stable here, you got the scripts from GitHub?

Could you explain what "context sensitive extrude" does compared to normal extrude on normals?
And is there a wiki for all the operators ?

Another issue is that I don't have access to a lot of Blender functionality via script e.g. bpy.types.TOPBAR_MT_file_import function and some others.
intentional, the config folder takes priority over appdata so you can have a fully portable and independant install.

when i tried to press "Ctrl B" in edit mode the boolean pie doesnt show up. Instead it worked something similar to "Bevel"
Should be fixed now with latest version

do you still keep the github files updated? I noticed its says they haven't been updated for a few months.
