NoviceInDisguise

Me neither :-P

Vince Scalia

switching to landscape mode.

sigh i'll do it.

I was thinking some sort of fantasy freestlye thing, each person can create a scene depicting part of an imaginary world. Something like that, probably a lot of Freestyle and Texture Paint stuff.--@NoviceInDisguise

GiantCowFilms

@VinceScalia Not freestyle....

no no no no no no no no no no no no no

Vince Scalia

Vince Scalia

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise It looks way worse then I remember....

Vince Scalia

@GiantCowFilms Hide your eyes.

NoviceInDisguise

I paint the entire mesh with Texture Paint and feel like an artist the whole time! So crazy fun.

Vince Scalia

Cyall later.

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise You and I are a bit different :P

NoviceInDisguise

2:23 AM

@VinceScalia What did you do? Bye!

GiantCowFilms

I run from real painting...

NoviceInDisguise

@GiantCowFilms I have gathered the same idea actually . . .

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise You did mock surprise

@X-27 Glad to see you're back

@VinceScalia I really don't wan't to know how you did that..... that is really really bad... jeee.... woow

X-27

@GiantCowFilms Trying to look back in the transcript of messages, any idea when I was giving you the map Blender?

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 ??

X-27

2:28 AM

For your game

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 Why are you trying to find it?

X-27

:-)

@gandalf3 Don't worry about booting me

Dec 23 '14 at 15:37, by X-27

dont be shy, be tactless, my feelings are made of titanium, as in can not break them

gandalf3

X-27

GiantCowFilms

@gandalf3 You clearly need to do it again, just to check Mischievous grin

gandalf3

2:31 AM

lol :P

X-27

yesterday, by X-27

Oh wait, is that the annoying thing that keeps making popup boxes saying "Windows 95 is no longer supported please upgrade to a newer version"

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 ?

X-27

Another example

GiantCowFilms

I smell dinner....

yummy yum yum

X-27

what type of dinner?

GiantCowFilms

2:34 AM

@X-27 Smells like sweet and sour sauce

X-27

oh...

GiantCowFilms

which means vegetables cooked in sweet and sour sauce :/

X-27

Blahhhhh

Just updated my profile, go look... :-)

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 Oh boy.... hmm I think a little green 10 at the top would help

Still waiting...

Vince Scalia

@GiantCowFilms Sounds good.

GiantCowFilms

2:38 AM

g2g eat said veggies, bye.

Vince Scalia

Bye. have fun with your food!

X-27

How can you have fun with vegetables?

NoviceInDisguise

The ear is off a bit . . . a real ear is not round.

3:21 AM

@GiantCowFilms you only protect when a question with several answers starts to get silly or repetitive answers

GiantCowFilms

@iKlsR Yes.... that is why I didn't :/

iKlsR

Regarding badges, I think I am the first to get most here blender.stackexchange.com/help/badges :D

except question badges

GiantCowFilms

3:49 AM

@someonewithpc Come join the party

@NoviceInDisguise can you post?

NoviceInDisguise

A: How to make a rope in the BGE?

Hey StackExchange guys and girls, this isn't very good. I posted the second answer here, but reading Vince's comment, realized that my description was too complex, more suitable for a tutorial than a quick answer. So I deleted it, thinking I would do just that, write up a full tutorial on my blog...

Dunno how to handle this one

iKlsR

9:48 AM

@gandalf3 See #3 stackexchange.com/legal

They deleted their account but in right the information is valuable so it is opted to leave it, the "right" thing to do would probably just delete it.

gandalf3

Should I leave a comment?

too late

They seemed to say something about "too much detail not being good on this site", wonder what they meant..

iKlsR

Seems like one of those codgy 50 year olds, best to remove it as it isn't helping anyone and avoid the fuss.

gandalf3

And thoroughly lose one customer :P

iKlsR

@gandalf3 they deleted their account

so who cares in the long run

gandalf3

Well, there was the other account they used to post the follow up..

iKlsR

9:53 AM

You come to realize how silly this whole business is when you take a look at the millions of licenses there are.

gandalf3

@iKlsR Probably no one, but that's more than likely network wide end of an SE user

iKlsR

@gandalf3 they deleted their account because their answer "was too complex"

again who cares

gandalf3

I guess so.

iKlsR

Not everyone is interested to learn a new tool

gandalf3

I just feel like they deserved at least an attempt of an explanation..

oh, I see

You deleted the answer too

iKlsR

9:55 AM

@gandalf3 waste of time imo, which is why I said it's probably some codgy 50 yr old

gandalf3

Missed that bit

iKlsR

I've been doing this a while and on other forums

It's fairly safe to assume, remember when we used to have the "welcome to blender.se"

it gets old real quick

gandalf3

We still have it, and it's still old ;)

iKlsR

So if someone is going to go apeshit over a couple of reproducible lines of text, it's not worth it

gandalf3

I guess you have a point there

iKlsR

9:58 AM

gandalf3

Thanks for explaining your experienced moderator wisdom :)

3:01 PM

@gandalf3 About the deleted answers and account. Like @iKlsR said just somebody does know know the SE system, or want to learn it. He is dead wrong about our ability to re post his work. At the bottom of every page "user contributions licensed under cc by-sa 3.0 with attribution required". With much more detail on the legal page. Legally I (or anybody else) could copy his entire answer, and post a new answer just giving him (a deleted user) credit.

In the long run, just let this one user go, it is not worth the "fight." I'm trill considering what should be done with the "good" answer.

David

3:15 PM

@GiantCowFilms I can but I see your game now has its own chat room. Let me know if you still want the pin.

GiantCowFilms

3:38 PM

@David Yes, I do :D

gandalf3

7:36 PM

@David You (and iKlsR) are right

iKlsR

7:53 PM

@David fun hack, pinning something and unpinning it stars it.. o.o

iKlsR

8:03 PM

I'm trying to get back into modeling more, experimenting with a new style, C&C welcome.

NoviceInDisguise

Cool!

iKlsR

The rendering is really drab, just a sun lamp and a hemi, didn't bother tweaking, just wanted to see how the scene was shaped.

gandalf3

I like the style

NoviceInDisguise

^^

Me too

iKlsR

Inspired by turnislefthome.com

Thanks for the feedback.

Need to work on vibrant colors and more macro modeling I guess, im rusty.

NoviceInDisguise

8:07 PM

What I have been working on . . .

iKlsR

Tip: If you perspective looks wonky when adjusting the camera or the scale looks odd, try rendering it in Ortho mode first. It does wonders.

@NoviceInDisguise are those little specs from a node?

the bokeh

gandalf3

@NoviceInDisguise That looks nice

NoviceInDisguise

@iKlsR Those are the particles spawning the fire. Cool effect actually.

@gandalf3 Thanks!

iKlsR

@NoviceInDisguise Do some tracking and make yourself do a jutsu.. ha.

Man if i had these skills 8 years ago.

NoviceInDisguise

@iKlsR I have some ideas along those lines . . .

iKlsR

8:14 PM

I used to do VFX but my laptop was really slow.

10 years to ram preview a 10 second clip in Ae

NoviceInDisguise

XD

iKlsR

Back then tutsplus was the bomb along with Kramer.

NoviceInDisguise

I had to take 1/2 hour for the simulation to calculate, and another 2+ to render :-P

iKlsR

heheh

NoviceInDisguise

I am rendering some freestyle stuff at 4.5 seconds a frame right now . . .

Some things are 4.5 hours a frame

gandalf3

8:18 PM

@NoviceInDisguise Is that BI or Cycles?

NoviceInDisguise

Cycles. The simulation was rendered at 10 samples per frame

gandalf3

@ things only work if the user is or was in the room recently

NoviceInDisguise

I wondered.

He seems to have figured it out, anyways.

iKlsR

Ha, sniped an easy question..

Where was the great @gandalf3

NoviceInDisguise

How come when navigating the preview rendered animation window holding the → key makes the images cycle, and when it gets to the end it goes through again, but when you use the ← key it stops at the beginning?

I like to play the animations backwards :-(

gandalf3

9:38 PM

@iKlsR The maya one?

NoviceInDisguise

I think so. I've been "sniping" even easier ones than that . . . been a lot of them recently.

gandalf3

I don't do much import/export.. All I use is blender :P

I don't even know what maya's file format is called

NoviceInDisguise

XD Same here!
