When I render an image that could take hours to finish is there a way that I can save the render at every hour, so that if my computer crashes I do not loose everything?
Is it possible to select all objects that have a particular material assigned to them?
E.g. if I have many objects that use the same material and I want to select them for Copy to Selected, how can I do this?
Is it possible to make an Opalescent shader in cycles?
From Wikipedia:
Opalescence is a type of dichroism seen in highly dispersed systems
with little opacity. The material appears yellowish-red in transmitted
light and blue in the scattered light perpendicular to the transmitted
light...
I did a "film grain" test by animating the seed value in Cycles, and rendered at 1080p (1920x1080). I originally rendered the png sequence into an AVI JPG format (300mb) and uploaded it to Youtube, but Youtube compressed it to the point where most of the actual noise is no longer visible.
I tri...
Blender has a built in template for adding a custom menu to the main header (INFO_HT_header). This can be found by going into the text editor under templates->Python->UI Menu.
Can I relocate this custom menu to be inserted between "Window" and "Help" sub menus? If so, how?
Is there a way to use the Blender Text Editor for adding a custom menu and not get a duplicate every time I click on "Run Script" to test the menu? For example, in the text editor, load the template like so:
Template->Python->UI Menu
Then notice every time you press "Run Script" you get another...
Is there a way to sculpt(while in sculpt mode) a separate object in a scene such that it conforms to the surface of another object without passing through that object? Essentially can another object act as a mask for sculpting a separate object?
Knowing if you enjoy 3D art is something you'll just have to see for yourself. If you still like learning about it and doing it a year or two down the line, it's likely you'll keep doing it for a while.
When your getting started, I would not recommend going out and buying a ton of expensive soft...

One way around this is to make your changes and save the script, restart Blender and run the script again.
