			==Compatibility==
			As, at its core, it's still [[Blender]], most Blender plug-ins work just fine! For more info. check out the [https://www.bforartists.de/wiki/plugin-database Plugin Database] page on their wiki.

			==Installing==
			On [[:Category:Windows\|Windows]] installing Bforartists is easy, but currently on Linux and Macs you'll need to build it from source. They advise following the build guide for Blender, which you can find [https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Building_Blender/Linux on their wiki]. There's also a guide for building on Ubuntu which should also help for Linux people: https://www.bforartists.de/data/tuts/Building_with_Ubuntu17.pdf

			===Arch Linux===
			Here are some notes from building for Arch Linux. (TODO)

'''Bforartists''' is a fork of the popular [[:Category:Open-Source|open-source]] [[Category:3-D_Modelling|3-D modelling]] software, with lots of changes to make the [[Glossary:Main_page#UI]] more friendly for people not familiar or fond of Blender's defaults.

A list of changes / differences quoted from their Github repository:
{{blockquote|
* A brand new Keymap with Left Click select, which is reduced to just the necessary hotkeys.
* Cleaned up User Interface. More than 400 not necessary double menu entries removed.
* Extended User Interface. Close to 100 formerly hotkey only tools have a menu entry now.
* Rearranged User Interface. Some things are better accessible now, some are not so much in the way anymore.
* 700 new native icons.
* Icon Buttons in the Tool Shelf to reduce the scrolling.
* A configurable Toolbar with icon buttons.
* Improved Layouts.
* Better Tooltips.
* Better readable standard theme.
* Some neat new addons to improve usability, like the reset 3D View addon or the Important Hotkey addon.
* And lots more small details like hidable 3D Cursor or Wireframe Colors. Or that you can now delete objects and selections without the delete menu quiz.

[...]

* The Bforartists usage is centered around the graphical menu, not hotkeys. Bforartists relies at an intuitive and self explaining graphical UI in the first place. And then the hotkeys.
* The target audience for Bforartists are hobbyists and indie developers. Blender tries to target professionals. But most of them don't care for various reasons.
* A better manual. The Blender manual is in big parts unsearchable, has an odd structure, and relies heavily at the Blender keymap to name just a few flaws, making it unusable for users. That's why we rewrite it, piece by piece.
* Official learning videos. No need to spend days with searching for the one tutorial that is understandable, for the actual version and is not a spelling lesson. This is also an ongoing project.
* Bforartists is not bound to the Blender bubble. It has its own independant eco system.
