Poor http://blender.org , 3400 people try to download blender immediate. Use this faster url :slight_smile: http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/graphics/blender/release/Blender2.64/ ā€¦ #b3d

Iā€™m not sure about the splash screen. IMHO, it doesnā€™t fit with the UI very well. But yes, matter of taste.

Edit: Maybe some graphic designer from (or outside) Blender community could help. After all, programmers (great btw.) are not designers.

itā€™s pretty freaky! ;p

Ha, good thinking, Ton - I tried downloading from Blender.org earlier, Chrome said it would take 2 hours. Usually takes 5 minutes max :smiley:

EDIT - Hmmā€¦that splash screen is pretty freaky, now that I look at it more carefully :wink:

Is the scale function moved to an other key in the skin modifier?? Pressing ā€œSā€ does not do this job anymore (MacOS X 10.8.2)

Any suggestions?

Leto

Ctrl+A (or equivalent for mac)

If using the Maya keymaps you may need to add them in.

Well, type: skin resize in the space bar search menuā€¦should show the new shortcut next to it.

On linux itā€™s ctrl-aā€¦but youā€™re on a mac so I donā€™t know if itā€™s the sameā€¦

edit: @holyenigma74 beat me to it :slight_smile:

Awesome thanks!! Donā€™t know why they changed it but itā€™s working!

@JSM: Thanks anyway!!

what happened to about 200 bugs from 2 weeks ago?
are they dead or alive?

There are currently, as of this post 187 open bugs in the tracker. However, that is very low compared to other 2.6 releases that had close to 300 or more bugs.

http://projects.blender.org/projects/bf-blender/ lists the current open bugsā€¦

Goodness me! The splash doesnā€™t do it for me. At allā€¦ I like brains, but, this is is not convincing.

everything that has a beginning has an end

Me jelly! :mad:

I was downloading the new blender, and the downloading is so slow. Usually other blender I have downloaded werenā€™t slow like that blender I was downloading now. What happened??

Many people are downloading the release right after it is published. Try again in a day or so and it will be fast again. :wink:

http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/graphics/blender/release/Blender2.64/ is definately faster.
20 seconds to go :slight_smile:

Is it possible to personalize the splash screen?

Youā€™ll have to compile blender yourself from the source code substituting the splash screen .png file with your own.

This, or grab it from http://graphicall.org/ ! I get all my builds from there, and it takes minutes to grab a copy. :slight_smile:

lol so now I have to be reminded of tos everytime I open blender,greeeeeaaaat.

In other news,iā€™m getting crashes galore here. :frowning:
