Well sw00000p, I just can't get used to it in Blender, that's a fact, and like I said, I don't want to get used to doing it the wrong way anyway.  That said, there's no way I'm ditching my sexy Blender, so what I've done is changed the colour of her axis.  Might sound like a weird thing to do but it does help because I think in terms of "RGB XYZ" (the right way).  When I glance at something and want it to move upward, I know that's going to be Green for a Y axis.  It's still listed in Blender as a Z axis, but it's Green now.  I don't look at the letter, I just look at the colour.  It's not ideal, for obvious reasons, and it doesn't stop the numerical input boxes being tits-up either, but it definitely helps a fair bit in some circumstances which is better than nothing.

They'll give us axis preferences in Blender sometime, I have no doubt about that (cause they'll have no choice eventually), but in the meantime that's what I'll have to do.  But yeah, the sooner the Blender Foundation get to work on that one the better, cause the longer they leave it, the harder it will be to fix, and this issue is never going to go away.  Now that Maya has the ability to work the right way, that puts Blender at a disadvantage for those who will only work the right way.  They really need to fix it (and so do Reallusion for iClone).

I thought I was seeing things, but no, it really happened :w00t:

...and both retire to their separate corners :P:P:P

It was a cube.

Oh no you won't, I have no interest in learning a backward system :Wow:
Anyway, time for your bedtime story I think, so here we go kiddies ...

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a sw00000p.
People had often heard about him, but only Max users can see him.
Some say that if you close your eyes and think of Max, he leaves coins under your pillow to buy sweeties!
Others say that if you chant Max three times, he'll appear in front of you and talk about Max for exactly one hour.
Experts say he's the product of industry standard influences and that there's no hope of curing him.
Others say he's merely a figment of people's imagination.
Some say he's real and that they've seen him on the Reallusion forum, but one thing is certain ...
A sw00000p is unique, capable of living in it's own world of fantasy, and for that reason alone, has become the stuff of legends!

Now go to sleep ...

No.

Did you like the T-Shirt? :w00t:

And yes, exactly, it's only a recent addition to Maya, and do you know why it's only a recent addition to Maya?
It's cause of the sheer masses of correctly taught people like me, hammering them with hatemail and telling them to sort their crap out or they'll ditch the program :Wow:

Now go tell your mama you're sorry, and don't ever do it again :D

If you're not prepared to read properly, there's nothing I can do about that, I am writing in English here.  I tried what you said and it doesn't work, how many more times, it's not the same thing, and I don't want the damn thing to work like Max or Maya either.  If you're going to get emotional about it, fine, but it doesn't help.

And I don't know why you keep repeating "if you don't like it go use another program".  Yes I heard you the first time and don't need you to point that out to me, I've already replied to that with the answer, yes, that's exactly what will happen if it doesn't get fixed.  No matter how many times you repeat it, you won't effect my decision to do so.  I shall decide if and when to ditch Blender, I'll probably speak to Ton Roosendaal first, just to get an idea of the chances of it happening.  I don't want to ditch Blender but I will if necessary, I'm not going to be slowed down having to constantly correct wrong moves all the time, just because the axis system is incorrect.

The thread was a request to find out if it can be changed, so calm down.  It's not my fault if you have a problem coming to terms with the fact that you're used to an incorrectly designed system and weren't even aweare of it.  The fact is you are whether you like it or not, so deal with it.  Bear in mind that other people aren't as malleable as you are - the web is full of correctly taught people like myself who won't stand for that crap.  The axis is tits-up for a 3D animation and modeling tool, and that is that.  It goes completely against worldwide conventions for 3D work, so yeah, you could call it a rant if you want, a perfectly understandable one.  Blender is a 3D modeling and Animation tool, not a specialised CNC suite.  So does that answer your question?

Looking at the way you respond, I'm beginning to think you might be having one of those female mood swings or whatever women have, so we'll leave it at that.
Please vacate the thread if you find you're getting too emotional, but thanks for the advice given :)



@sw00000p
You seem to be forgetting that it was YOU who started the Maya does it that way out of GREED, not me - you're crumbling man, I can see the dust :Whistling:
Still, I totally understand with you being an "Industry Standard" sort of person, that this must all be a bit too much for you to come to terms with, but here's something to cheer you up - and I just know you'll love it :w00t:

:Wow::Wow::Wow:

one last time "go look at the photo to switch the rotational axis" , but as I said "I give up" your not really interested in just learning these threads are posted just to rant.   Blender has a maya set up as well (as I told you already at the beginning of the thread) but this is not about learning its about ranting so rant on.    I told you initially go into user preferances they have a maya set up and a 3dsmax one.  I then posted photos to show you the orthographic view and then I posted a photo to show you the button on the side of the screen to change the rotational axis and there is a list of about 10 different variations.   

Do it or dont, but I do not think your threads are about learning or adapting to software they are for ranting which I really dont have an interest in.  

...Of course all that info I posted I learned myself I didnt ask anyone I went and looked in the manual and learned it.  I have yet to rant about any software.  I prefer to spend my time constructively learning how to do things.

So "do it or dont" i dont care.  If you dont like how blender works go use something else.
