I have mixed feelings about this release. After spending many years learning and practicing with the interface of the 2.6 and 2.7 series another complete interface overhaul has occurred with the 2.8 series. Spent many hours and bought a few books to learn the 2.6 and 2.7 interface version of this program. Also sent them a donation.
With 2.8 series I am totally lost again, nothing works the way I learned in earlier versions with this new interface. Cannot figure out how to get any decent renders produced. The interface for textures, surfacing, and backgrounds is totally different, although I have learned to pick up on the mesh modeling and sculpting,
Since this program is free I guess there is no reason to complain.
Simply bite the bullet and start all over again or stick with earlier versions.

I was a 3D geek and I knew a bunch of programs, 3DMax, Maya, Carrara but I was not a master of any of them, when it came time for me to do a serious project I wanted to do something that required more knowledge then I had any any one of those other programs, so I finally sat down and forced myself to learn Blender.

Damn I'm glad I did, its far easier and in some ways a lot more powerful than some of those other programs, and every single part of it is free, 100% free, including all addons that you might need for any demands of your project. I now use only Blender, all the other stuff went out the window.

Pros: Looks pretty and fancy.

Cons: Totally different interface from earlier versions. Cannot open blend files from earlier versions in 2.8 series and vice versa. This interface change is so different I believe this version should have a totally different name than Blender.

Bottom Line: I have mixed feelings about this release. After spending many years learning and practicing with the interface of the 2.6 and 2.7 series another complete interface overhaul has occurred with the 2.8 series.

The latest release is another milestone, kudos to the developers.
Ocean Sim, Cycles (new realtime render engine), Dynamic Paint and Camera Tracking - all included in this incredible small package.

Forget the screen shot above, they'll never update it here on fileforum.
