<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Calibri">Hi,<br>
<br>
Have to say I definitely agree. Already made it my default a few
years ago.<br>
<br>
Skip next line if not interested in my history.<br>
I came to Blender when Cycles development had just begun, so
tried both BI and Cycles, even at that time of early Cycles
development (as a new user) Cycles seemed so much more logical
and easier to use.<br>
<br>
<br>
Pre-sets:<br>
Possibly raising default <i>Render</i> </font><font
face="Calibri"><font face="Calibri">and <i>Preview</i></font>
samples > 10? I see new users yet to discover the <i>Sampling</i>
section wondering why their renders look noisy.<br>
<br>
Maybe two default Tiles sizes, one for GPU and CPU, rather than
64 x 64 for both? Enabling more efficient faster renders for
newer users.<br>
<br>
Can see a selection of pre-set surface node groups being very
helpful for new users. Good idea!<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>
David<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I think it's time to make Cycles the default engine in Blender. This has
been discussed a few times already, and the argument was to wait until
we have Volume/Smoke etc..
Now that we do, it's time to act. :)
1) Any open issues?
Sergey fixed some remaining issues with Preview Rendering for Brushes
etc, while Cycles is the active engine. Are there any other problems
that need to be addressed?
2) Presets
I think we should have some presets, at least a "Standard Surface" for
Beginners. Brecht made a quick hack for that a while back, I think
having bundled Node Groups is still the way to go.

I would like to do the move for Blender 2.72 (upcoming Release).
Thanks,
Thomas
