Simplified software is suitable for simple, throwaway needs where the risk of choosing wrong and the cost of changing tools are low: yesterday I had to split a PDF file for the first and presumably last time in my life and I just printed it to a file by page ranges, without bothering to select, install and learn to use a PDF editor like Acrobat. 3D modeling and rendering is particularly suitable for this style of tool because there are many, many editing operations that can be applied to 3D models and many uses they can be put to. The added value of complex software like Blender is that it makes every task possible, reducing the risk of having to start over a project with better tools because easy to learn software with a constrained workflow and limited features was selected at first. They're just trying to model a doughnut and a coffee mug and do a still render of it, or at most animate the camera moving around the scene. You want to do rigging on imported object files, but for somebody else rigging is a feature that would get cut out completely. I think the bigger issue you're going to run into with "make Blender but simple" is that the subset of features that you want in a simplified blender is a different subset from what other people want. Planning is to have this working as beta for Blender 3.1, after extensive testing and reviews by contributors and module teams. > A template used this way will be called “Blender Application Template” or just “Blender App”. As prototypes the team will release a couple of simple templates: a video-player review tool and the 100% dumbed down ‘Monkey Blender’. A smart Python scripter can design complete new applications this way, using vanilla Blender releases.
These templates will allow to completely configure UI layouts, define custom keymaps and enable add-ons to run at startup. blend files can be used to replace the standard startup file – creating ‘custom versions’ of Blender this way.
> To bring configuring even one step further. > Being able to configure Blender for personal workflows is a key Blender target, part of the 2.8 project. You might be interested in the "Blender 101 (Application templates)" item in this roadmap:
