This task makes use of existing features - T50901, T53047, T47345 - to propose the design for an initial Blender-101 template.
The initial proposal is 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.
