Looking for ideas on a template for a default startup file.
Gonna make a “right-click” Vb-script to create my folder structure along with project name and copy a “default” blender file to it.
When ever i start blender there are a few things i change; units, save render location and type. So now im looking for any other things which might be helpful other people do.
I change the render from CPU to GPU as well as switch to cycles (don’t remember if that is default or not)
Ahh… Yes, thanks for mentioning that.
Few things, set User Orthographic as default, disable Auto Perspective and enable Select All Toggles.
I also have the camera and light deleted in startup scene.
Turn on adaptive sampling
Turn down number of cycles viewport samples (keeps my laptop a lot cooler)
Vignette gradient viewport background
Compositor node setup with the denoiser enabled, but which will still work when switching to eevee
Shader tab with a vertical split and only the viewport and the nodes
Add all your favorite node set-ups as groups.
Set up all your workspace meus the way you like them to be when you open them. I put all my menus for each workspace at the bottom because it’s easier to look down than up. I also set up the right-hand tool menus and the order of the properties windows to what I like with the most commonly used ones at the top.
I also turn on denoising by default.
Thanks everyone.
@blenderrocket Can you post a screen or describe how you do that. When in Cycles ill enable “Denoising Data” in the Layer Properties and set up my nodes everything is fine, but when i change over to Eevee the node connections are lost. If i use the Normal pass in Eevee and then change to Cycles it will still use the Normal pass and not the Denosing Normal which i previously set up. How do you change back and forth and keep the connections you want ?
Would have never thought to move them for that reason

Here you go (remember to enable the denoising data pass once):
Thanks a bunch, but how do you handle switching to Eevee ? When ever i try I loose all my denoise normal pass connections from cycles.
If you switch back to cycles the connections will magically re-appear.
