On the topic of the splash screen, would it be possible for Blender to open with a splash screen instead of the empty console window? At least Blender opens marvelously fast, but it would be a nice touch to have a splash screen that actually does what a splash screen does, and what is expected from all other software. Also, console screens can be scary to new, unfamiliar users.

Majora’s mask is more that probable already copyrighted

Honestly the image looks really nice to be a splash screen but i don’t think that could be used, at least without a written permission or something.

A couple chairs maybe…

I’m really curious about the result right now … there are a lot of great submissions and although I’m probably a bit biased I can’t really tell, what I’d personally vote for.
Since there are still a few incoming submissions I might update mine a bit to fix some compositing issues I haven’t addressed yet, because the deadline was over … I’ll probably just going to replace the image in this post with the updated version…

I had a go at finishing my idea for a splash screen. I thought it might be interesting to do something in a NPR style as that’s something, that greatly improved with Eeevee. Here’s the result:

We don´t look like other software.

This looks quite good, but is also outside the scope if the splash image itself. Not too different from ⚓ T56510 Blender 2.8 Splash Screen Design.

(btw, funny you changed the version number to 3 :slight_smile: )

To the public: that post isn´t visible. It is somehow hidden. I went to check there first to see if I was duplicating content. SinceI didn´t find it, and this thread was fitting, I thought of re-posting it.
Splash screen captures user attention as first impression.
Like going to a wedding with sandals. :smiley:
