I agree this is a very good proposal, but only IF the pre-designed modes and shaders are implemented like we didn't have these "workflow shaders" at all. What I mean by this is that the pre designed setups (solid, textured, weight, etc) should be there and able to do and adapt to most of the user workflow neccesities ( powerfl x-ray, tweakable textured mode, easily costumizable matcaps, etc), since these are used 90% of the time. This workflow shaders should be a toggleable extension to all these, when the basic setup doesn't meet the requirements or becomes too cumbersome for certain workflows. In these cases, which there are many, it would be invaluable. But straightfoward, well thought visualization setups for each task should be available always and carefully designed.
About the name, maybe it would be more clear if it was something like a "Custom Viewport Shading" option. 2015-03-24 12:01 GMT-04:00 Howard Trickey <[email protected]>: > Looks good. > I'm not sure "Workflow shader" is the best name; I was confused about what > this was going to be about until I read a quarter of the way down to your > example of a weight-painting "workflow".
