[Bf-committers] Texture assignment workflow is confusing

[Doug Ollivier]

Don't worry I understood it. it's a mock-up after-all which means a 
certain amount of imagination is always required.

Nice work on the mock-up, and totally agree with that being the end goal 
that a new system would enable.

I think there needs to be another more simple interface closer to the 
non-nodes interface for people who "just want to plug an image in"  and 
that is what i am interested in exploring since i think that is the more 
unique challenge.  Nodes are quite well understood but are a big 
learning curve,  great for complex tasks like colour correction between 
sockets as you have shown, but completely over complex for simple tasks 
that involve 1 connection.

Cheers,

Doug
