Yeah

well, that's cool you get more work done
why won't they let you play?
religious?
 
waste of time
@ThomBlairIII no
 
is it the killing the monsters?
@GiantCowFilms really??
 
2:32 AM
Also, they fear I will become addicted
 
:(
omg, I'm sorry
 
@ThomBlairIII Mostly the addiction, and my mom believes video games are bad for younger people, it changes the way your brain develops
 
Oh...are you still in school?
 
@ThomBlairIII Of the kids my age I know who are hard core gamers, they really tend to be lesser for it, something strange happens/
@ThomBlairIII Yeah
 
Oh
I'm sorry
 
2:33 AM
@ThomBlairIII Most of us, with the exception of @gandalf3 and @David are school aged
 
Oh, ok
I'm 43
But still a big kid at heart a lot of the time
 
@TARDISMaker @NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ @X-27 and @ARadish are all highschool or slightly older
 
lol
I'm not sure if they can hear you
just a sec, I'll tell them you're here
 
@ThomBlairIII "Growing up" is less about age and more about life experience, too an extent.
@ThomBlairIII No need
 
@GiantCowFilms yeah, I'm glad I've gotten to slow down my experience intake!!
XD
 
2:36 AM
lol
 
yep, got kind of sidetracked on a lot of things like meditation
idk
just a second, I have to go see if I can get materials for a stone sword
 
Okay
I have something to do too (I was waiting for some files to copy
 
oh ok
see ya!
 
I'll still be around
I'm going to be copying lots of files
 
ok, cool!
 
2:38 AM
(I just added a new 2TB drive)
 
nice!
 
So now I have ~5.5TB storage total
256 gigs of which are SSD
 
AWESOME!!
 
@David grey area in the review queue, what should I do?

A: How do you stop an adjacent face from moving?

P.O.For what it's worth : after using Blender for about a year, I have personally never encountered the behavior shown in that tutorial picture - that is to say, performing a "Sketchup-like" push and pull with an automatic fill. A third-party add-on allowing for something of that nature has recentl...

Seems bad.
but really bad enough to flag?
and I hate giving up rep to DVs
 
 
1 hour later…
3:47 AM
night all.
 
4:12 AM
sup dawgs
 
4:33 AM
@ARadish hey radish!
 
5:13 AM
Well, I read 2001 space odyssey
Everything is so much clearer now!
 
@gandalf3 is that sarcasm or did it really help?
 
It really helped
 
Awesome!!!
:D
Did you get to the explaination of the StarChild?
 
Thanks for the recommendation :D
 
No problem!
 
5:21 AM
@ThomBlairIII maybe..?
I only read the first book so far
 
Oh ok, it might not come until 2061 or whatever the name of the 3rd book is
 
ah
I'll keep reading then :)
 
I can give you some hints or potential spoilers if you want
But only if you want
 
I think I'll read it first
But thanks
 
What specifically did the book clarify?
ok
 
5:23 AM
@ThomBlairIII literally everything after arriving at Saturn :P
 
Awesome!!!
 
Also why exactly hal did what hal did
 
oh neat!
why did he do it? I forgot
 
His instructions had an ambiguity
 
5:24 AM
And he got a sort of guilt complex thing
 
Oh, bummer for him...and everybody else
Guilt is bad
 
yeah lol
 
I hope MIT robotics take note of how to avoid ambiguities
lol
 
XD
 
and DARPA
Google is also, or was, becoming a major leader in the field of AI...
I hope they all make safe AI
So terminators will just be for mowing lawns until necessary
The Three Laws of Robotics (often shortened to The Three Laws or Three Laws, also known as Asimov's Laws) are a set of rules devised by the science fiction author Isaac Asimov. The rules were introduced in his 1942 short story "Runaround", although they had been foreshadowed in a few earlier stories. The Three Laws, quoted as being from the "Handbook of Robotics, 56th Edition, 2058 A.D.", are: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First...
Roboethics is a short expression for ethics of robotics. It is often used in the sense that it is concerned with the behavior of humans, how humans design, construct, use and treat robots and other artificially intelligent beings, whereas machine ethics is concerned with the behavior of robots themselves, whether or not they are considered artificial moral agents (AMAs). While the issue is as old as the word robot, the short word roboethics was probably first used by roboticist Gianmarco Veruggio in 2002, who also served as chair of an Atelier funded by the European Robotics Research Network to...
 
5:30 AM
He had been instructed to relay all information accurately and ensure the mission attained its goal, but he'd also been instructed to hide the real purpose of the mission from Dave and Poole until they arrived. It started with him "accidentally" mis-aligning the earth-communication antenna, to avoid having to communicate anything. He was forced to lie when accused of malfunctioning (being taken offline would endanger the mission from his PoV), then was forced to cover things up when Poole found
he had indeed lied
 
Much more satisfying than the film, where he seems to just go deranged for no reason
 
Oh, yeah
Did the book 2001 explain what happened to Dave at the end?
 
He turns into some sort of energy being?
 
Oh ok, I won't tell more then
That gets explained later on
 
5:35 AM
ooh
 
You can also watch the movie 2010 to accompany reading the book
that's pretty neat too
gives more perspective on the whole plot development
 
oh, hadn't heard of that
Thanks
 
yep...pretty neat also, but also leaves a lot of unexplained things, like 2001
I don't think they ever made a movie of 2061
do you have netflix?
or any way to watch 2010?
@gandalf3 I don't know if this is safe/legit or not, but looks like it's free...
 
heh :) I don't have time to watch atm unfortunately..
Actually, I should be working on my BG contest entry
 
oh
@gandalf3 do you mean you don't have a way to watch?
it's only $4 to rent on iTunes
in HD no less!
:)
@gandalf3 but I don't want to keep you from your BG contest
Enjoy!
 
5:52 AM
@ThomBlairIII whoops, sorry. Forgot the most important word in the sentence D:
 
@gandalf3 oh ok
lol
 
xD
 
Oh, time to watch
Well, eventually, at some point it might be a good watch
 
6:39 AM
 
 
6 hours later…
12:52 PM
@GiantCowFilms 6 years ago I was like 15 bruh
 
 
1 hour later…
2:36 PM
@gandalf3 re clamp: blender.org/manual/render/cycles/settings/… I think it should be stated that values under 1 will affect the luminosity of highlights, and prevent values in the scene from being white. The issue is that users read that lower values have a greater effect, but do not have any parameters on what values to start playing with.
@gandalf3 Suggested values (like 6.0 or even 3.0) might be helpful to help users form using values under 1.0
 
yeah
I generally start with a modest 8 and crank it up as needed
 
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ up or down?
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ For fireflies my go-to number is 3.0
 
down
8 and 4 are the values I use generally to start with
I like to keep as much dynamic range as possible for compositing
 
Quite important indeed
 
@MrZak thanks for your edit yesterday. I took for granted that people know how to make a UV map. blender.stackexchange.com/a/18347/2217 Look at the comments, at least one guy did not know.
 
2:45 PM
My biggest issues come from soft lighting using large planes as emitters, glossy surfaces and volumetrics... firefliesfest
 
3:00 PM
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ I think I figured something out. There is a noticeable drop in the avid users on the site since about the 17th. Oddly enough that is the same time you posted this message.
Just going by this chat room, you can see @NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ, @X-27, @ThomBlairIII, and @TARDISMaker all left and are trapped in a minecraft ripoff world.

@David Indeed
They also appear to make up a fair section of our avid user section
@gandalf3 Is that a rendering?
 
3:16 PM
@David LOL
oops
11233 rep . . . interesting
 
@iKlsR you were 15?!?
omg, I didn't realize how young everyone here was/is
I hope I haven't been too age-innapropriate
I've spend almost all my life around people who were much older than me, usually like 20 years older than me
so, it's always been a challenge for me to figure out how to be innocent and yet do what I wanted to do
I'm just starting to have to deal with it in my own home though...my brother and his wife now have a daughter that is getting old enough to speak english
she's a handful and I'm having to be an uncle for the first time ever instead of just sitting alone in my room for years on end
 
3:32 PM
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ "oops"
I plead incompetence your honor
 
@David I plead ignorance, incompetence and any other derogatory terms too
 
lol
 
@David but you're welcome to join us if you want!!!
 
we have been, in no way at all - (or maybe only a small way) contributing to the demise of avid users.
 
no one, so far as I'm aware, has been forced to do anything they didn't want to do...
 
3:36 PM
@ThomBlairIII if you need anything to craft with, you can use the chests in the side room to the right of the stairs. I can't really call it "my room" since it's your world :-)
 
@X-27 ok, cool! thanks!
I'm making more stuff like armor and weapons in case anybody comes over again
if you want, I can come over some time and help you clear out a cave or gather some materials or something
I found some diamonds
I'm getting better at WASD
I've even got an obsidian sword now!
thanks to you all
that thing is SO much better than a wooden or stone sword!
lol
 
@ThomBlairIII I haven't even built one of those yet!
 
I just woke up a little bit ago...still a bit tired
@X-27 omg, they are awesome!
 
yah
I have all the parts... I think...
 
maybe I can come help you explore and find some good mineral veins
 
3:40 PM
just haven't bothered yet
 
they're really great for gathering lots of leather fast
which helps build armor
I've now got a full set of obsidian armor
trying not to die in the caves again
 
@ThomBlairIII No worries, if you do something wrong, you will get told in this chat. And probably teased until you leave, ducking, with your arms over your head.
:P
 
@GiantCowFilms oh ok, cool!!
 
@ThomBlairIII How is it, that you started yesterday, and already have better stuff than me?
 
@X-27 we had that big party yesterday and now I have so much stuff that you all found for me!
and helped me explore & find new stuff
plus, you built so much cool stuff for me too
that all helps and leaves me with less I things I have to spend time building myself
I could help you gather rockster and pigsy parts for armor & swords if you want
armor requires a lot of leather
 
3:45 PM
maybe later today or tomorrow.
 
ok, sounds good
 
@ThomBlairIII I have advanced recipes unlocked, so browse the wikis and see what you want and collect what you need and I can stop by and craft a bunch of stuff
the recipes are all online IIRC
 
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ oh ok, cool!
 
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ do you have the recipe for the blue bed?
blueprint..
 
I don't think so
@X-27 Blueprints are totally different
it is a crafting recipe
blueprints are buildings you can buy designs to
 
3:54 PM
oh
 
whichever it is.
can you craft the blue bed?
 
 
why can't you just craft a bed and change the color of hte pigment used?
 
not that easy
 
3:54 PM
You have to discover that recipe :/
 
you need the recipe that calls for the blue pigment
 
It spawns in wooden chests
 
oh, the pigment itself has a recipe?
 
we could make yellow or red ones too
@ThomBlairIII You just process flowers
 
oh, well, I did discover that in some recipes you can change which flowers are being used
by clicking on the tiny yellow arrows beneath the flowers in the crafting recipe
that was very useful
many recipes have things like that...mushrooms were that way too
 
and that is really useful to know
 
yep!!
 
that way you don't have t demolish a whole bunch of trees
just take one big one and get plenty of materials
