Node highlights stand out more, and curve handle colours are easier to read.

Cleaner menus

Double entries are gone (Import FBX, Link to Scene, Snap, Implicit Conversion). Pose and Weight Paint get Show/Hide submenus, and tool shelves follow the Add menu order.

30+ new node icons

Ripple Delete, lasso select and tidy footers

  • Ripple Delete closes the gap when a strip goes.
  • Lasso select uses the same hotkeys as the other editors.
  • Keyframing tools sit together in the Timeline footers, with matching frame range icons.

Edit scene strips right in the Dopesheet

Scene strips get gizmos in the Dopesheet: drag their edges to change the frame range, without opening the Sequencer.

Roll the view from the navigation gizmo

Drag left or right on the navigation gizmo to roll the view. An angle readout follows the drag, so a tilt is easy to undo.

Roll buttons and a hotkey sit in the 3D View sidebar too.

Bforartists Version 0.9.2 is around cleaning up the menus and connecting some loose ends. It adds some more tools to the toolbar editor. We have over 50 new icons. Again quite a few double menu entries were catched and removed. Some more tools made it into the tool shelf. The Toolbar type View is gone, and replaced by the Toolbar Type Mesh Edit. It also brings a few important fixes. The Mac build now compiles. The Player and quite a few other missing things is now onboard too.

And we have again some vital changes at the keymap to remove some conflicts and inconsistencies. Most important one is that Move and Rotate in the Viewport is now switched to be consistent with the rest of the editors. Now the Middle Mouse button pans the view like in the Image Editor. And Right Mouse rotates the view.
