Change Details

This task makes use of existing features - T50901, T53047, T47345 - to propose the design for an initial Blender-101 template. This proposes an unambitious template in 2.8, to have a heavily simplified Blender we can use as a starting point to iterate and work on the design. For reference there is a much more involved [[ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RyoN4Kv26mI6NfjSKM_NJJ53OA4Gm_ex7AlwSKtRmHI | design document ]] by Mike Pan, there are concepts here which we may try to work towards still. Default Layout: {F1316992} {F1316997} ###Proposal: - Create a stripped down interface, similar to the current `startup.blend`: -- No timeline. -- No outliner -- Many panels/options removed. - The following changes from the default: -- On-screen manipulators for the 3D view. -- Tools the user can select between (cursor, selection, transform) ###Open Topics: - Ideally a library system for material & object presets will be included in this template, this will be added once the asset engine is merged into 2.8 branch. - We may need to show the outliner by default, depends how layers work and if it's reasonable to hide them from users - for simple workflows.
