1:35 AM
Yippee chance to protect something :D
I'm going to lose that privilege soon, when we exit beta, so I might as well use it
of course I could get some more rep :D
 
@GiantCowFilms ouch, I keep wondering why everybody is SO eager to graduate? Arnt we doing find now?
 
@David Just now something like my 3D graphics Area 51 proposal gets combined with our site. When we've graduated we can breath easy, they chance they split or combine us is drastically reduced.
I'm also in anxious dread of the new theme
if it is dark themed I'm out of here
 
@GiantCowFilms no need to worry, from all Ive read on the meta it will look very similar to other resent sites.
 
The reason the steam punk competition is in a redirect loop is because it can decide whether @NoviceInDisguise or @gandalf3 should win :).
 
SE is standardizing the look of all their sites...
 
1:42 AM
@David That sounds comforting...
 
LOL look at my edit for that message
 
this one looks pretty impressive
@David took me a while
 
just put the "t" on the wrong side.
 
Though I'm not sure it will win, I don't think Andrew likes dark images that hide all the detail.
 
@GiantCowFilms I'm sure there are many other entries that are better.
 
1:44 AM
Like? I haven't had the patients to scroll through all the images...
This one is also okay
Although I don't really like it
 
@GiantCowFilms I haven't either. Just judging from the community response, and the quantity and quality of past competition entries, I think there will be better ones.
 
And this one
 
@GiantCowFilms awsome
 
I like this one as well :D
I think it stands out really nicely, much more light then the rest of them
So many of the images that are entered are way way way to dark, know idea why
 
how are you getting thease?
 
1:47 AM
no offense @gandalf3 but I like the image above better.
 
I mean why did this person not put any lights
 
no idea...
I still think @NoviceInDisguise has a good chance of victory.
 
remember I have had the too dark problem too. I think it must be a common problem in 3D.
 
Meh..ish, composition is good though.
@David You add more brightness to you lights... its not that hard
Since I do photography I usually check my histograms and adjust my exposure
I'm very precises about it.
 
@GiantCowFilms the guru page is up! blenderguru.com/competitions/competition-steampunk
 
1:50 AM
@David how else do you think I got the images
:P
@NoviceInDisguise @gandalf3 Your images are definitely among the tops ones, nice work.
 
@GiantCowFilms I thought you were digging through WIPs on BA
 
Okay, this one has the best shot yet
 
Yes lol
 
1:55 AM
I must say with that last one.... it is horrendously weird
@David Sure
lol
More like just punk
cya later
 
later
and
are no doubt finalists.
 
(Never mind)
When did he fix it???
 
2:12 AM
@David That one is good
 
baking AO after using IvyGen looks really pretty. OOOOO
 
@RadishoftheOpera I bet it would. (can I see a quick render?)
 
@NoviceInDisguise @gandalf3 Your going to have some serious competition!
 
@David un momento...
 
Man, @NoviceInDisguise It took me forever to find your entry!
I was just about to ask if you got it in in time when I found it
This competition is really bringing out some of the best artists,
And some of the worst ones
@X-27 That's a really cool entry, but I have to wonder how much of it is GIMP/Photoshop
 
2:28 AM
This dude... wow
you need use the compositor.. please check blender.stackexchange.com/questions/32677/…yhoyo 2 mins ago
:D
 
And in addition to that, he's not even right!
 
@TARDISMaker ikr
 
not the best, but it does look good in games...
 
2:57 AM
@RadishoftheOpera That is neat. Not what I was expecting, but very neat.
@RadishoftheOpera if you are just using the AO bake for some shading in the BGE, then using the BI might give you a quicker, and with less noise result.
 
3:16 AM
@TARDISMaker no idea (It obviously isn't mine)
 
It looks like a decent amount of it is gimp/photoshop
I see a decent difference between the bokeh dots and effects, and the background character.
Does anyone have any links to some of the meta posts about BSE questions being judged as off topic by the question and not the answer?
@brasshat could use a bit of clarification on that.

Q: General 3D Graphics

JNFAfter seeing How can we ensure Blender.SE doesn't share 3DGraphics.SE's fate? Are questions regarding general, or theoretic, 3D concepts on-topic? e.g. Best lighting for a specific set How to make sure the render keeps the depth perception How does the computer handle models mathematically ...

 
@David Thanks
I also included the question about duplicate answers in my reply
 
3:37 AM
@GiantCowFilms Ikr, no way I'm coming anywhere near those..
 
@GiantCowFilms Thanks :) Maybe a finalists spot :D
@gandalf3 BTW, do you play piano? I really like your entry as a pianist :D
 
I do as a matter of fact :)
@NoviceInDisguise Which one is yours?
 
I play piano also,
but only to an extent, and I'm terrible at reading music :)
 
me too :/
 
so then is @NoviceInDisguise the only person who's good at it?
@NoviceInDisguise I saw some of your music on soundcloud, it's really good
 
3:53 AM
@GiantCowFilms You can always use my stylish theme..
;)
 
 
5 hours later…
8:25 AM
It's rather alarming that blender appears to be one of the top open source video editors around :/
 
8:45 AM
it's pretty good, as it happens
but things are implemented in unconvential ways
 
 
5 hours later…
2:05 PM
 
@gandalf3 It causes a page jump, when it loads, drove me crazy
@zeffii Have you used premiere pro? the VSE doesn't come up to premiere pros ankles
@David How dare you CV a question with a custom close reason?
I'll never get comments with 5 votes like that : (
snif snif
I think your trying to make that badge extra exclusive
:P
 
it's been a while since I used Premier or AFX
more love should go into the VSE... code + ui wise
 
2:22 PM
@gandalf3 BTW, this is actually a good way to get auto-post banned if moderators keep deleting your answers etc, it will flag the system and you'll be zapped.
 
@TARDISMaker Thanks :)
@gandalf3 I have a KORG SP 170 keyboard and an ancient W. M. Knabe baby grand
 
2:37 PM
@GiantCowFilms your reason was good enough, so I used it... Would you prefer if I wrote my own? not only CV but reviews, @gandalf3 and I do a lot of reviews, and now we only need one vote. So no review for you :)
 
@David That's problematic
Makes it even harder to get the badges
 
all part of the peril of having active mods.
 
I guess
 
2:57 PM
I wonder if blackholes questions deserve DVs
 
Probably . . .
 
Can you CV a question with a bounty
Anyone else can figure out what this lag is he needs to fix?

Q: Properties 1 tick late?

blackholeI have a common setup for an FPS game. The focus of this question is the following: when I pull out a weapon (weapon-switch), a prop ("Timer_Activate") is set to 45, the number of frames for the weapon-switch animation. If you swap weapons, it will set the prop to 45, and the prop will drop every...

I'm borderline trying to CV as too localized or specific
 
@GiantCowFilms Do it
 
okay
bounty stops CV, rats!
 
@GiantCowFilms That's stupod
 
3:08 PM
@someonewithpc now I know how to stop my questions from being CV'c
@someonewithpc agreed
 
wEIRD . . .
 
@GiantCowFilms No kidding
 
@David as a mod, can you zap it?
 
cAPS lOCK
 
Quite a large price, though
 
3:08 PM
@someonewithpc Oh yah...
 
@GiantCowFilms 50 rep, minimum...
For 7 days
 
@zeffii drugs?
 
I think I could actually answer this one if he gave a blend... but of course I'm not asking him
or answering
 
@GiantCowFilms ?

Q: How to make dynamic text in GE?

blackholeI don't know why, but it doesn't work. I've done everything said in this video, and my result is the following: planes next to each other, all displaying @ as the texture. I have done everything he said to do perfectly except I used my own character map file which also has a black backgound. When...

 
3:12 PM
maybe he'll die of loneliness.
 
I'm pretty sure this is a dup
but we can CV it, @David help!
 
the blackhole boycott.
 
Based on his question this should be a valid dup

Q: Why is the alpha channel not working?

AlenannoI was trying to make a really low poly flower, basically using 2D planes and applying textures with an alpha channel (Targa, 32 bit). However when doing the UV mapping and applying the texture as usual doesn't yield the expected results. The render either shows the image with the alpha being whi...

Q: Game Engine's bad visualization with layers

CuriousElfI'm using a score layer above a game layer. The score layer is a Dynamic Text Display, coded in python. The problem: When I start game engine (press 'p' at keyboard) in the score layer alone, I got this visualization: But, oddly, when I'm executing the two layers together, I got this visuali...

I'd say that one rather, but it doesn't have an answer.
 
Either works for me :D
@RadishoftheOpera perfect ;D
 
3:15 PM
if youanswer blender.stackexchange.com/questions/24264/… and mark as dup, we can throw him out while still answering his Q
 
"the black background does not become transparent" dup of my suggestion, "and my result is the following: planes next to each other, all displaying @ as the texture" dup of your suggestion, its a dubble dup
@RadishoftheOpera The point was for him not to get an answer
 
@GiantCowFilms That's just mean
 
mischievous grin
@someonewithpc fine....
 
personally, I've just been skipping his questions...
 
3:17 PM
Yeah
 
I don't want t be super mean, but I'm done getting (word I'm not allowed to say here) on by a bratty kid.
if we answer... (I say we, cause I don't know the answer) and mark as dup, we won't have problems with his mouth
 
@RadishoftheOpera For a while....
 
What if he finds chat!!
 
@someonewithpc lemme correct that... I won't have problems with his mouth.
 
3:19 PM
@NoviceInDisguise Ban...? JK
 
@NoviceInDisguise then I talk to him like he's in kindergarten till he leaves.
 
XD It is amazing how unfriendly someone can make themselves though . . .
 
@RadishoftheOpera He is probably used to it . . .
lol
 
3:21 PM
@NoviceInDisguise I don't really want to be mean, he's just a kid... but if he's gonna act five, i'll treat him that way.
 
yeah. I meant he was being unfriendly
 
This is an interesting discussion:

Q: My Issue with Reputation

Nefer007Reputation: the lifeblood of the community. Except it really isn't. I had to struggle to get to where I am reputation-wise. I couldn't answer questions for the longest time, even my own. And when I did do so, both the answer and the question got downvoted into oblivion. I'm frustrated by how new...

 
@NoviceInDisguise Seen that
They (he or she) have some good points
 
What is your opinion?
@someonewithpc Yeah
 
3:23 PM
@NoviceInDisguise I agree with David
 
@someonewithpc I agree that it should be closed as either unclear, or too localized; however even mods can not close a question with an open bounty. — David ♦ 44 secs ago
Dammit
We missed the chance in the two days needed prior to the bounty

@someonewithpc I saw after I responded to gcf
 
3:37 PM
@NoviceInDisguise what was that question that you had me fix for being verbose?
 
I can't remember
 
@GiantCowFilms I doubt it is a dup.
 
darn, I was going to show it to Nefer007 but I can't find it either
 
@someonewithpc that is no joke. @iKlsR has said he is very close in the past. Now reading all this, it is even more of a reason to give him a time out.
 
@David those 2 top stars. LOL

A: My Issue with Reputation

Radish of the OperaPersonally, this is something that I felt like I struggled with when I was new, but I didn't have it as bad as you. Think about it like writing a paper for school: it's about professionalism, and respect. Now I think you realize that, but your profesh is a bit lacking. (mine is too. :-) take a ...

I like ASCII and ALT CHARACTERS too
 
@someonewithpc words make my tonged feel fat.
 
3:49 PM
@NoviceInDisguise That's Unicode
 
Yep
Alternative Characters
 
@RadishoftheOpera Words allow you to complain about words

3:55 PM
looks pretty.
 
Duplicates overlaying eachother
 
(cycles render, each region should have single color)
 
@RadishoftheOpera Lol
 
@PeterVaro Stretched textures sometimes . . .
 
@NoviceInDisguise umm.. that's strange, I already used Remove Doubles
 
3:56 PM
What about duplicate objects?
 
@PeterVaro RD doesn't work on different objs
 
wait a minute..
 
@PeterVaro Multiple objects?
Late...
 
@NoviceInDisguise I have one, but I hide it
 
3:56 PM
I hide sometimes too
 
probably that's the problem
one sec
 
that's a shame, it was the duplicate object thingy
 
If you use H to hide it, it will still render
 
thank you gys!
 
3:57 PM
Use Ctrl+H to hide in render
 
:D no prob
 
Ctrl H
To stop from rendering
 
Or that
 
@NoviceInDisguise I forgot to decheck the render action in the outliner
