Are you using a development version of Blender 2.80? In the official release the location of the Save Preferences/Auto Save Preferences is at the bottom left of the Preferences window.
Julien Kaspar

*@Satish Goda* No I made sure to use official release of Blender 2.80 :) The older timelapses will feature the beta version though. The reason why the UI seems different is because I switched to the preferences editor instead of opening a separate preferences window. The UI seems to be slightly different between them.

Hello, the add-on 'UV-Magic' is not working in Mac Os x

*@Salvador Núñez* Have you tried the latest version of the addon? https://github.com/nutti/Magic-UV

*@Julien Kaspar* Dear Julien: I reinstalled Blender 2.8 and now everything works. Thanks for your knowledge. I'm also experimenting with 2.81

good afternoon sir, there are missing add-ons in my blender 2.81: 3d View: SpeedSculp Sculp: Mask Tools System: ScreenCast Keys User Interface: Pie Menu Editor
Julien Kaspar
29th December 2019 - 11:20
*@jehd.jehzer* The SpeedSculpt Addon can be bought but is pretty outdated since the release of Blender 2.81.
ScreenCast Keys and Mask Tools can be found in the Asstes folder of the course.
The Pie Menu Editor is an additional addon I bought to customize the user interface and menus even further but it's not necessary for this course :)

*@Julien Kaspar* but is it okay if I'm not going to install the SpeedSculp Addon for this tutorial?
Julien Kaspar
29th December 2019 - 17:13
*@jehd.jehzer* Yes. I am not going to include any paid addons for these tutorials :)

Julien, thanks for very interesting course! Please tell me that the brush templates only for B2.8-2.81 means that in 2.82 these brushes are already adjusted to your templates?
Julien Kaspar
22nd April 2020 - 11:38
*@Artyom Sobolev* Yes, all of the default brushes got a major update and are working much better in 2.82 and especially 2.83.
My custom brushes are not included in the new versions so I can still recommend to create them if you want. But importing them from my template will not be ideal because brush settings got added & changed, so the brushes could be broken.

oh my gosh thank you for updated this. It's been 2 years since I've been able to use Blender so this new UI is terrifying

Hi Julien, Hopefully everything works in 2.90.1 :)
Julien Kaspar
28th September 2020 - 19:05
*@Malik Martin* Generally everything should be almost the same definitely working. Chapter 3 has a small issue when sculpting on shapkeys while using the multires modifier. In the description of the chapter there is a workaround but I'll make an update to the chapter hopefully soon.
Malik Martin
28th September 2020 - 20:12
*@Julien Kaspar* Thank you! I'll be sure to check the notes from every lesson!

Hi there! I'm sorry if this sounds ignorant, but I'm still using Blender 2.82a. What addons would you recommend for that? I can't find mask tools anywhere in my preferences, so when you say it's updated to the latest, do you mean 2.8? Thank you :)
Julien Kaspar
20th May 2021 - 10:57
@Aly Blender 2.82 should be fine for the first 2 chapters and the 4th one. Only for the 3rd chapter do I recommend to at least use 2.90 or higher. But I removed the Mask Tools addon since it is only really useful for 2.80 and 2.81.
Aly
20th May 2021 - 17:42
@Julien Kaspar Understood! Thank you for explaining that to me. I'll upgrade eventually, but am still working on projects in 2.8, so once those are completed, I'll move up. Thank you for the response!

@Majik Hudson I removed it from the course since it's heavily outdated. The default Blender template is now just as good with recent updates.

Hello Julien , I have tried setting up shortcuts like you did , I was only able to get the x symmetry and the toggle overlays to work, toggling wireframe on all and on per selected object doesn't work, at best I get the wireframe alone but not on shaded,maybe I'm missing something
Julien Kaspar
28th August 2019 - 11:44
*@Michael* I think this is because there are multiple toggles assigned to that shortcut. Shift + Z is used by default for toggling between Wireframe & Solid Shading Mode. Alt + Z is used to toggle Xray shading. You can look these default shortcuts up in the keymap section of the preferences and disable them with the checkmark. Then you custom shortcuts should work :)

Julien Kaspar

*@Sergio Andrade Figueroa* You need to choose the entire zipped folder if it's more than just one py file.
Sergio Andrade Figueroa

*@Julien Kaspar* Thanks im going to try

Hi Julien, in the Github link provided, I see 5 py files but not option to download a Zip file. This is what I regularly do: download the zip and install from preferences. Is it ok to download each individual file and zip them together? then install from preferences?

Does the trackball mouse add-on require a trackball mouse? If not, how do you recommend using it without one?
Julien Kaspar
4th January 2021 - 10:59
@Malik Martin No you don't need a trackball mouse. It works with any input device (mouse/pen/etc) and just changes the behavior of the viewport rotation ;) It's also not an addon but an official feature.

Hello Julien, Mask Tools is not available on version 2.91.2, Could you suggest an alternative Addon?
Julien Kaspar
28th January 2021 - 11:08
@diego.lazevedo0408 Use the new masking features of Blender ;) Shift A to expand a mask, the A pie menu for masking functionality, mask extract, face sets and more. I have it on my to do list to make a video on that

@Julien Kaspar hi Julien, have you made this video? I am confused on this mask problem while following your tutorial. Thanks!
Julien Kaspar

@chhristJunia There are plans. But the tutorials might not be tied to this course anymore.

@Julien Kaspar looking forward to that, if these new tutorials come out, how can i find them?
Julien Kaspar
8th August 2022 - 11:55
@chhristJunia We would make an announcement. A blog post would be dedicated to this to make it visible. If it's a new course then it will show up at the front page for the training section.

Julien Kaspar

@shirtsdesignpro I removed the addon from the course. All the functionality is now officially in Blender. You can find them in the masking pie menu on A or in the mask menu.

@Jiro Oh.. saw your answer on the same topic. Do you have a tutorial how to create this brushes you have?
Julien Kaspar
3rd January 2022 - 09:59
@Jiro No need really. The brushes I've used are very similar to the default brushes in Blender now. Or at least you can easily achieve the same effects with them now.

Hi Julien- Quick question, is there a way to toggle between trackball and turntable view without going to preferences? I tried to assign a hotkey but I don't think you are able too.
Julien Kaspar
15th March 2022 - 14:56
@Leda Lehas Sorry I don't think there is an option for that.
