I don't personally use Blender, but I've seen this being shared at bsky

The primary goal of the Bforartists fork is to deliver a refined graphical UI and a better usability to Blender. This means a complete switch in the usage philosophy away from the hotkey centered UX towards a user friendly, discoverable and intuitive graphical UI.

Bforartists is fully compatible with the Blender files and addons. Every feature that works in Blender should also work in Bforartists. Also, every release is always up to date with the newest Blender version. The toolset is the same. Where we differ the most is the GUI and the handling of UX.

Bfoartists menu containing multiple different icons for each entry

An own keymap, which is reduced to just the necessary hotkeys and a navigation that can be purely done by mouse.

Cleaned up User Interface. Lots of unnecessary double, triple or even more identical menu entries removed.

Extended User Interface. Many tools that were formerly hotkey only have a menu entry now.

Rearranged User Interface. Some things are better accessible now, some are not so much in the way anymore.

Better Defaults

Colored and as double as much icons than Blender

A configurable toolbar with icon buttons

Tabs in the tool shelf

Improved layouts

Left aligned checkboxes and text where possible

Better tooltips

Better readable standard theme

Some neat add-ons to improve usability

And lots more small details like not so much confirm dialogs

Better Manual

This is interesting. People have been linking this to me (i love regular blender) and im happy to see that its got this fork for people who struggle with the typical interface. The one aspect that i saw that gave me pause though, was that it said that it changes the shortcuts. Shortcut culture is a very integral part of the blender community (and im aware of the opacity that it brings at the tradeoff of speed). I wonder how people who get into bforartists will deal with the wealth of tutorials not being directly compatible for them. Will they be left out of being able to go deeper, and integrate themselves with the rest of the community?
