blender-2.7-startup-file-improved

Improved startup file for Blender 3D 2.79b

What's changed in this file (compared to default Blender)

3D Viewport changes

• Default Render Engine is Cycles Render:

• No default cube
• Grid lines to 100

• Hide camera and Sun (Light)
• Add hidden Ground object (for renders)

• 3D Viewport camera clip is from 10cm to 1km
• Default 3D Cursor location is 1m high (so that, when you create new object, it is on the ground):

Render Changes

• Resolution to 100%
• Frame Rate to 60 fps

• If you're developing game, I suggest to turn off Reflective Caustics and Refractive Caustics (greatly improves render times), but it is not turned off by default (good for photorealistic rendering)

• Tiles size changed to 512x512 (good for GPU), if you use CPU Render, change to small value (e.g. 64x64)

• GPU Render by default

• 512 samples for renders, 8 samples for preview

Scene Changes

• Use metric units (m, cm, mm, km) and not Blender Units
