Please enable beginner mode with One Click Setup by default

[slrgt]

Hi, I love your addon so much and recommend it to every blender user. The only issues that are frequently mentioned is that its really hard for non advanced blender users to use it. It would be great if there were some tweaks so it can be as simple as photoshop\krita where you just click a + and it makes another layer ready to paint on without so many options. Maybe by default it can be in this simple mode and then there can be an option for advanced mode?

My wish

It would be great if the default workflow after install was:

• select object
• press Quick Node Setup (this sets up the nodes, adds simple UV if needed, creates new image, automatically switches to texture paint mode)
• start painting
• optional press + to add a new layer that is ready to paint on and still see other layer previews with the one click

This would help a ton so digital painters can easily paint objects in Blender without learning advanced knowledge about nodes, uvs, etc. similar to how digital artists can pickup Procreate, or Substance painter and start painting on 3D objects in 1 or 2 clicks.

There can still be all the advanced options in Advanced mode and a Gear icon next to layers so after theyre made people have to option to change it to Brick texture, Ambient Oclusion etc

My reality

Currently the process for a painter that is a non advanced blender user when trying to paint on an object is:

• click the object

• click quick node paint setup

• learn what the difference between the principled, diffuse, emmission types are

• learn what these 7 options mean and which to enable\disable

• press ok

• press the big red ! button with since it seems there is a problem

• click + for a new layer

• figure out which of all these options you need to choose to start painting

• Choose New Image since it seems to be the simplest

• figure out what these options mean (resolution can be understood by digital painters at least)

• manually change to texture paint mode

• start painting

• if you want to paint on another layer press +

• see this big list again

• press New Image

• Cant see what you drew on the layer beneath it

• watch a youtube tutorial on ucupaint or read the docs so you can create a new layer to paint on while still being able to see the previous layers previews

I really love ucupaint and im very grateful for the tremendous amount of work you did and will be supporting the patreon soon. I just wish it was a little easier for digital painters and non technical users to install and start painting. I just thought I'd share my idea and the current issues i've noticed many people encountering. Thank you again for all the hard work you've done!
