The display options that could be found in the old Properties panel have been moved to two new drop-down panels at the top left of the viewport: Overlays and Shading.LoopTools can also be found in the Context Menu ('W' key). For example, if you're a user of the LoopTools and/or 3D Print Toolbox add-ons, those can now be found in Properties panel tabs. Some of the elements that used to be in the Tool panel can now be found in the Properties panel ('N' key), which features its own tabs now. Personally I don't make use of those buttons, as I prefer working with keyboard shortcuts, but it undoubtedly makes Blender more accessible to new users.
The Tool panel at the left side has been minimalized to a column of tool buttons.Uncheck it if you're used to consistently working in orthographic view. In the Blender Preferences, Auto Perspective is now checked by default in the Interface section.Although the first beta version is imminent at the time I write this, a number of things might still be changed. Please note that this is not meant to be an all-encompassing list of changes, and please also note that I'm still using an alpha version. I understand that the goal was to make Blender more accessible to new users, but the radical UI and keyboard shortcut revisions can prove to be a hurdle for seasoned Blender users.īelow is a list of tips and observations according to my first Blender 2.8 explorations. A range of keyboard shortcuts has been changed or removed, a lot of familiar functions have been moved around to new tabs and sections, and a number of new features have been added, resulting in some radical workflow changes. I soon discovered that more has changed in Blender 2.8 than I had expected.
