10:03 PM
@GiantCowFilms hey if you ever come back, i was just quoting a TV show.
 
Okay
@RadishoftheOpera marginally forgiven
 
sighs of relief
good
i've just gotta stop saing stuff about your parents.
 
mental note
 
Also the entire conversation wasn't good either
 
10:07 PM
about pot and colorado and your un-patriotism toward "giant-pasture"....
@GiantCowFilms you're right.
 
precisely
lets talk about blender
 
so, what i'm working on is actually not my property and i signed a contract for confidentiality, so how bout i just show you the concept art?
 
Sure XD
seriously someone hired you
 
lol, most great youtube videos start with "Hey bubba, watch this!" and handing over a beer to a "friend"
 
I don't know what your watching
 
10:09 PM
@RadishoftheOpera Cool!
 
@NoviceInDisguise who gladly takes and drinks
 
@RadishoftheOpera But seriously someone hired you
 
@GiantCowFilms ikr, way to make me feel special.
 
I never got hired o.O
 
10:10 PM
and look at me talking after what i just pulled.
 
But seriously who hired you
what are you getting payed
And you actually had to sign papers...
that is quite cool
 
@GiantCowFilms i'm afraid thats confidential sir....
and if you want to keep commenting sarcastically like taht, go ahead, cause i deserve it
 
You can't say?
can we see when your done?
 
@GiantCowFilms geez it's hot in here
 
did you get the job through the site?

@GiantCowFilms no
 
oh
in person?
 
i got it in an extremely uncomfortable conversation while wearing a tie.
and with a dead snake in my pocket,
but thats a story for later
gosh i hate ties.
and snakes
and face to face conversations with people as caustic as i am.
crummy situation for the pay.
 
lol, sounds awful
 
but once it's over... muhahahaaaa THE PAY!!!
 
I guess you can't say how much . . .
 
10:18 PM
thats confidential.
 
I thought so
 
but it was upwards of what i get at work.
 
I'm really curious now
 
I wish there was an easy way to get out there in the CG market . . . I could use a little income, I got a ton of stuff that needs upgrading. My GPU keeps failing for one thing . . .
 
which is upwards of what people get a McD's.
 
10:19 PM
Having a job at all must be handy. I live in the middle of nowhere
 
Make content ;D
 
yep ;)
modelling is my strong point right now
 
@NoviceInDisguise Pro-Tip: meet as many stuffy rich people as you can while having a dead snake in your butt pocket.

@NoviceInDisguise seriously though, every single guy you work for for you first jobs will be an absolute pain in the @$$.
 
10:22 PM
lol, I imagine. My Dad has had experience with incompetent management overhead . . .
lots of it
 
@NoviceInDisguise learn from him.
actually, CAP is surprisingly good training for dealing with people you despise.
 
Well, yes it can. Learning to deal with people telling you to do stuff you really don't want to helps
Ranger training was #$%^&*
 
@NoviceInDisguise not nescesarily telling you what to do, but utterly disrespecting you and treating you like a toad.
 
I usually try to be the management
 
^^
Just not the incompetent management ;)
 
10:31 PM
@NoviceInDisguise I try to be competent
 
Generally speaking if you've got smart people under you, all you have to do is make sure they no what and when they need to finish, and make sure they have everything they need to finish it on time
 
The hard bit is when you don't like what they've made
Designers always think their clients are dumb when they want things to be different... but clients are looking at things from a very different perspective
 
Exactly
Sorry for one-word replies, trying to fix my ever-crashing GPU . . . checking all drivers
 
10:40 PM
Thats why I hate doing my own webdesign. Inner client says all this needs to fit on the homepage (marketing strategy). Designer says it looks horrible.
@NoviceInDisguise :/ that sucks
 
Yeah :/
 
@NoviceInDisguise sorry for the absence.. had to catch the worlds fastest chicken
 
lol, they all are when you try and catch them, aren't they?
 
I'd be running away from the chicken
 
@NoviceInDisguise no... most of ours are Brahmas and Austerlopes, fat and can't run worth beans.
 
10:44 PM
XD
 
@GiantCowFilms are cows flightsy like that?
 
Yes
Mine HATES our cat
 
@NoviceInDisguise the one stupid Rhode Island Red...
 
Those little buggers are fast!
 
@NoviceInDisguise oh yes... i seem to recall discussing this.
 
10:45 PM
So . . . new driver does nothing.
 
@NoviceInDisguise get a new PC
if time is money, it's like, 1000 times cheaper.
 
Time to go into about to beg parents mode
 
I got time and no money, I'd love to get a new machine, can't afford it :/
What budget would I need I wonder?
ARRGH!

@NoviceInDisguise Few steps
before you spend that kind of money
One: Re install your operating system (backup your files first)
Two: Get windows 8
Three: Phone NVIDIA support
(rest assured it can't be worse then adobe support)
Finally I'd just replace the GPU
I don't know but you may be able to get a cheaper refurbished one

A: Using Texture Nodes for the Displace Modifier

gandalf3It'd be nice if this worked, however as an alternative you might consider using cycles displacement. Here's a simple example of what's possible. This scene is made up of one plane, with no displace modifier: Note that it's an experimental feature, so you'll have to enable experimental featu...

@gandalf3 that is a nice one
Blend-Exchange is bust....????
admin stuff dud
:/
 
@GiantCowFilms windows 8 is a disease.
@NoviceInDisguise how do i shrink the horizontal direction of the camera.
seriously, i need to do renders more.
 
11:12 PM
Fixed BE
 
@GiantCowFilms yay
 
@David I do appreciate you moving files to BE, and moving files from pasteall is fine, but don't do it from dropbox/google drive, since you don't own the rights to the file and the actual user has to upload it and give BE the right to distribute
@RadishoftheOpera not that anyone but me would have noticed the issue
 
@GiantCowFilms maybe you should send a minute-ly news letter.
 
Nearly 200 genuine blend files added to BE since launch
the other 50 or so are tests
 
@GiantCowFilms really? i thought it was more...
 
11:30 PM
Nope
they stop completely at 85
and are speratic past 40
 
@GiantCowFilms ok, i got this, i can't tell you about the product directly, but i'm sending the client a report titleed. "Headless Bull Man" cause i haven't finished it yet.
 
@GiantCowFilms Good advice
 
@NoviceInDisguise except for the part about W8
@X-27 hi! we've been using your gif quite liberally.
@David hi! we haven't been using your gifs at all!
 
@RadishoftheOpera which gif?
 
you know what's scary? @PeterVaro is always hanging out there in the tab that shows who's here, but i never see him.

11:45 PM
ahh, that one
 
the only other one you've done recently is the laundry, and i wouldn't call that a gif for any situation.
 
well, I do have some fun ones
that one was lame
that one is purely annoying
 
@X-27 my goal in life is to not die early from epilepsy.
 
epilepsy!! you want epilepsy-
 
no!
i said nooooooooooooooooooooooooo
@X-27 dies of epilepsy
 
11:48 PM
there, saved any innocent chat viewer from dying early.
 
My grass is rendering all blurred >:(
 
BuMmEr!!!
 
@GiantCowFilms don't worry I will not violate any tos or copyright laws.
@RadishoftheOpera why, I have some good ones
 
I have a whole bunch of them used in answers, want some?
 
11:53 PM
 
@David that pertain to insulting a large cow over the internet?
 
@GiantCowFilms plus I am not putting a concerted effort in to moving the blends, yet. (only the pasteall ones I come across)
 
that one could take a while
 
taking forever to load. i'm scared
 
whether or not it is worth waiting is up to you....
 
11:54 PM
@RadishoftheOpera hmm. (after a lengthy search) my files come up empty for terms like "large cow"
 
@David ^^what i thought.
 
@X-27 that still is a great joke
 
@David Don't give me away!!!!!
 
i just realized that when i wrote un-dies it looked like undies.
 
@X-27 who would take you?
 
11:57 PM
@David That has stumped me for a while...
 
@X-27 hence why you are still in the underwater base.
 
@David Yes, still staring into my portal, waiting for something to beam through the blazing light.... gets rather boring...
 
@X-27 my connection must be bad, still loading
