Q: How do you create grass?

If you were using a plane as a terrain, how would you add grass to the plane and make it bend and flow like there was wind. Also, how would you make the grass color vary in shades of green so you would get yellow, dry patches of grass.

NoviceInDisguise

Radish of the Opera

Mandellan genetics are actually quite interesting. unless bad spelling is a dominant gene (if one at all) then your mom must also have problems with it.

NoviceInDisguise

This is really annoying me:

Q: Ctrl+Z in Viewport triggers compositor

I have noticed that when I edit something in the viewport, then hit Ctrl+Z (still in the viewport) the compositor (open in new region) will still update like I edited a node or had hovered over the compositor node setup while performing the key command. Is this a known issue, or is it a bug? Do...

compositor shortcut

Radish of the Opera

@NoviceInDisguise i know you knew he knew he knew.

Best irriversable hash ever: poetry... all cryptographers are not liberal art majors, and therefore cannot even pretend to understand poetry (all they teach you in liberal arts is how to sound like you know what poetry means <jk>)

Radish of the Opera

@NoviceInDisguise the cure is to stop blending and take a mallet to your PC.

NoviceInDisguise

Eh . . . I'm entering in a competition soon . . .

GiantCowFilms

David

Radish of the Opera

12:42 AM

@NoviceInDisguise interesting, have you re-downloaded or checked if it was a known bug?

NoviceInDisguise

No, not really

David

(never tried to make pencil strokes.)

Radish of the Opera

@GiantCowFilms Polish is an affront punishable by law on this premises

@David i can't get it either.

GiantCowFilms

@RadishoftheOpera We reserve the right not to serve radishes

NoviceInDisguise

Does the issue happen to you guys as well?

GiantCowFilms

12:44 AM

(2 jokes in one)

NoviceInDisguise

REserve XD

GiantCowFilms

that was not one of the two jokes

NoviceInDisguise

Three then . . .

GiantCowFilms

are we not helping radishes or not putting them on your plate.. you decide

(funniest when hung in a restraunt)

NoviceInDisguise

lol

GiantCowFilms

12:45 AM

NoviceInDisguise

I don't like eating radishes

I prefer beets

GiantCowFilms

NoviceInDisguise

Especially pickled

GiantCowFilms

NoviceInDisguise

lol, presto, 144 BPM

GiantCowFilms

12:46 AM

@NoviceInDisguise You could win a speed eating contest like that

NoviceInDisguise

Looks like 1024 samples is going to be mandatory for my render . . . oh well

@GiantCowFilms Naybe . . . I'd probably get sick

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise Is your GPU working

LOL, Naybe XD

?

@GiantCowFilms No

12:47 AM

@NoviceInDisguise I could render it for you if you'd like

NoviceInDisguise

I'm not spelling great tonight . . .

@GiantCowFilms I'm doing tests right now, but thanks for offering :D Maybe when we get closer tothe deadline, we'll see.

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise Sure

NoviceInDisguise

What sort of hardware you got?

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise GTX 670

NoviceInDisguise

Nice!

GiantCowFilms

12:49 AM

NoviceInDisguise

I got an old 470

Two generations behind

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise :/

NoviceInDisguise

Hoping to get real upgraded soon though, been doing some work for my Dad's company, might get a 980 out of it :D

David

@RadishoftheOpera I have it looking ok, not great but decent.

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise No fair!!!!

Radish of the Opera

12:50 AM

@David what'd you so to get it woking at all?

@NoviceInDisguise $9.80... lol

NoviceInDisguise

GeForce GTX 980

Radish of the Opera

NoviceInDisguise

Yeah . . . what goes around comes around I guess

Radish of the Opera

@NoviceInDisguise thats the way the cornbread crumblies.

les

David

@RadishoftheOpera blender hides the freestyle settings all over the place.

Radish of the Opera

12:51 AM

not lies

@David ikr?

i can't even get close though.

NoviceInDisguise

I found the same thing when I was experimenting, all over the place indeed o.O

GiantCowFilms

@David Pro-Tip: Close the system console immediately after use while you still remember to use toggle system console instead of that juicy red X.

Radish of the Opera

@NoviceInDisguise it makes it impossible...*groan*

NoviceInDisguise

If I try Ctrl+Z in 2.70, then even if I click in the viewport, it undos stuff in the node editor!!!!

Radish of the Opera

@NoviceInDisguise undoes?

get 2.74

like i said, not even close

GiantCowFilms

12:58 AM

@NoviceInDisguise Sounds like something else is wrong

GPU failure, blender failure

David

@GiantCowFilms ouch. I have done that many times.

GiantCowFilms

I'd seriously try reinstalling your OS

@David same here

@David That is one of the many reasons not to use blender near a cliff... it can be soo tempting

NoviceInDisguise

@RadishoftheOpera That is what I have . . .

David

@GiantCowFilms odd thing is about the same time I finally learned not to close the cmd, is when I found the "toggle system console"

Radish of the Opera

o... you said 2.70

NoviceInDisguise

1:01 AM

-

lol

GiantCowFilms

what were you trying to say

NoviceInDisguise

it is soooo smart

David

@GiantCowFilms and now I'm opening it more often then closing it, for scripting.

NoviceInDisguise

anyways, I don't want to deal with re-installing the OS if I can help it . . .

GiantCowFilms

@David Yah

@NoviceInDisguise Takes about an hour or two.. can be so worth it

get win 8

10 will be here in july.... I think you can live with it four 2 months

there are tricks so you only have to see the start screen once

NoviceInDisguise

1:02 AM

@GiantCowFilms NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not Windows 8!!!!

dies

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise Its faster

NoviceInDisguise

So . . . I'm not faster on it

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise Did you try it

NoviceInDisguise

I'm holding out for ten

@GiantCowFilms Yep

GiantCowFilms

okay

NoviceInDisguise

1:03 AM

We have it one one of our many machines

GiantCowFilms

Are you on 7?

Radish of the Opera

@GiantCowFilms it's so much faster, you feel like getting dragged behind a truck.

NoviceInDisguise

@GiantCowFilms Yes

GiantCowFilms

Try re-installing it

NoviceInDisguise

You can keep settings so it wouldn't be too bad I guess . . .

Radish of the Opera

1:04 AM

@GiantCowFilms 7, ubuntu, one XP, two vistas, some more 7's, more 7's...

NoviceInDisguise

Maybe after the comp? Or maybe it would help me be faster, IDK

@RadishoftheOpera XP is unsafe now . . .

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise Yes, Microsoft spends years making a **** OS in which everyone hates then comes out with a great one under a year later XD....

NoviceInDisguise

IKR?

Oh well

GiantCowFilms

But they made the hololens... so all is forgivin.. although I'll never forgive IE

David

@NoviceInDisguise its fine

Radish of the Opera

1:05 AM

@GiantCowFilms apparently you like it.

@NoviceInDisguise it

's just unsupported.

GiantCowFilms

And if spartan is just another IE I will................................................

@RadishoftheOpera I made it think its 7

cyas later

David

@GiantCowFilms do you meant MS new browser edge?

Radish of the Opera

@GiantCowFilms it made you think your 15

@David can i see how you got your progress?

NoviceInDisguise

@RadishoftheOpera "just" as long as you don't download stuff from the web and connect to unsafe connections it is fine. What do you run on it though?

Radish of the Opera

@NoviceInDisguise psshhh. i got plenty others.

mostly run just games and blender.

i have a 7 with a huge screen also for blender.

this ubuntu i'm on, also for blender.

and the rest are for the rest of the fam, so i don't muck much with them.

so pretty much, all i do on computers is blender.

David

1:12 AM

@RadishoftheOpera well I tried different modifiers, and now it looks worse... and I can not figure out how to get back.

NoviceInDisguise

@RadishoftheOpera Ah, I run Cubase, Blender, Finale, GIMP, Pinnacle Studio, and assorted other programs quite regularly, so XP is not an option

Radish of the Opera

@NoviceInDisguise this is life on computers for me... life outside of computers is much more intersesting.

NoviceInDisguise

yeah, same

Radish of the Opera

speaking of which, i'm gonna get some air while the suns still up, cyall's

NoviceInDisguise

The sun is up? Ok . . .

anyways, cya

GiantCowFilms

1:27 AM

@RadishoftheOpera huh

David

@RadishoftheOpera how is that? ^^

GiantCowFilms

@David @gandalf3 here is a voting issue: when you become moderator will you undelete and instead history lock the question about the real blender (one with the bent blade) I think its too good to be deleted

gandalf3

xD

NoviceInDisguise

@GiantCowFilms XD

@GiantCowFilms Is there really one?

David

@GiantCowFilms yes I would lock it. the message says "this question has historical significance"

and that fits that question

GiantCowFilms

@David you now have my vote over again

gandalf3

The funniest bit is that they said "I'm glad I finally found a support forum for blenders" XD

gandalf3

1:42 AM

interface rofl XD

GiantCowFilms

I would have tagged it with hammers

and maybe spoon

gandalf3

Or maybe 3d-printing part-design blender-repair

David

@gandalf3 blender-internals would fit better

gandalf3

:P

Everyone already uses blender-internal for anything

David

@gandalf3 pretty much

my new question "Noisy renders inside of cycles" - tagged blender-internal (my problem is inside of blender) cycles (comment not needed) noise-reduction (or whatever that tag is) modeling (every question needs this tag), and rendering

@RadishoftheOpera take a look at the release notes from 2.67 there are a bunch of good freestyle example blends. Esp note the "Line Demo Groups.zip" and "SawShark Sketch.zip"

Ever seen this diagram?

That’s the visual elevator pitch for Stack Exchange. We were the little dot in the middle, a potent mix of useful traits from other tools, a wiry mutt full of hybrid vigor. The purpose of this blend was to allow and encourage the construction of a library of solutions, by providing communities with the tools they needed to share their experiences and challenges with others who might struggle with the same issues.
