Switching between coordinate systems

To switch from a global coordinate system to a local coordinate system of an object, we need to multiply the global coordinates by the inverted matrix of an object:

How to make node connections in Blender 2.8 not straight, but curving as before

In Blender 2.8 node connectors in the “Shader Editor” window are straight by default, unlike earlier versions, where they bent curving. To return the usual connections bend, change the following settings:

  • Open the “Preferences” window
  • Switch to “Themes”
  • Expand the “Node Editor” tree branch
