Q: How are the Bones assigned to the Vertex_Groups in the API?

I´m working on an export script for Blender and I´m currently stuck at exporting bone weights. Here is what i have so far(excuse me if my Python is not that clean, the syntax is pretty new to me): v0.Inf = [0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0] for i,g in enumerate(face.vertices[0].groups): if not g.weight = 0.0...

Q: How are Tags read?

If a question is asked, and a certain (what might be relevant) 'tag' is not added, does it mean that answers, relative to that missing 'tag', will be excluded (as being 'beyond the scope of the question')? For example, in my question: How can I change the centre of rotation of objects during an...

Q: Layout and Text problems on Blender meta

I have just asked my first question on Blender meta, and when I tried to submit it I got an error: First, it said '…see the error above.' but there was no error 'above'! The red 'flag thingy', to the right, said 'At least one of these tags is required - 'bug feature-request discussion support'...

@CharlesL I sold it for a cheeseburger

And it didn't have bacon!

@Gwenn ah, yes, the quality is sharp again

My hat is special and can create bacon-cheeseburgers for me :)

No bacon?!?!?!?!

This post gives my pc cancer

@CharlesL Can your special hat make cheeseburgers for me?

It lags like crazy

Old version of blender?

@CharlesL no, just load the post, does it lag?

@Gwenn, if you ask nicely.

No

then again, I have a beast now :)

3:48 PM

The post loads just fine

hmm, my pc must have picked up cancer elsewhere

lol

/r/fearme

don't go there..

Toshiba Satellite R845 / Windows 7 / Firefox

Why?

3:49 PM

@Gwenn Steam Engine / Windows 95

@CharlesL just don't..

Erm... I hit it before you said to not go there

Because the cancer is contagious

IM ON MAC IM SAFE!!! hides

reddit is not a safe place..

lol

3:50 PM

@iKlsR You're using Windows 95?

No way, your screenshots are too good for that

XD

@Gwenn no, but I do occasionally in a vm when doing assembly

I use Blender 1.0 there..

It's fast

Ugh. It was BI now its this!

Okay then

@CharlesL BEND to change!

you hipster mac user..

@iKlsR But that sounds like exactly what you're not doing

3:53 PM

@Gwenn well.. umm

hey bro, it's a beast

hides

lol

rephrases

@CharlesL But it is a Mac, and I will steal it from you

3:53 PM

NOT IF I CHAIN IT TO THE WALL

AND HIRE ATTACK DOGS

hides with mac

please don't hurt me

I have bolt cutters, a lockpick set, and more dogs all within 30 feet of me, and I live less than a mile from the airport

Be ready

I know where it is..

Don't steal it or else! cgtextures.com/…

Oooooo, threatening!

Q: How to monitor render process in a thread-safe manner?

I'm currently writing an addon, the purpose of which requires it to render several parts of active scene sequentially, preferably with UI-responsiveness intact. The problem is the UI freezes if I just directly call bpy.ops.render.render(animation=True). I get UI-responsiveness by changing the exe...

@CharlesL o.O

3:59 PM

Besides, they have a directory browser on the left-hand side of the screen, with a whole folder dedicated to rubber

oh

ha

I've got to go, guys

They only have like 5 tire textures :(

@Gwenn o/

4:01 PM

See you later

@Gwenn, bye o/

Ugh, who spells tire "tyre"

my search wasn't bringing anything up!

4:15 PM

(─‿‿─)

@iKlsR, know anything about animation?

@CharlesL I guess

What are some good resources?

I really can't find any good tutorial sites or anything.

dunno..

a friend of mine has some over on his site

cgmasters.net

Ah, yes, the ninja tutorial.

4:18 PM

cgmasters.net/free-tutorials/…

oh?

I never saw that one!

Thanks!

Q: Can we have all our site tweets fall under the #b3d hashtag?

For those who don't know, every StackExchange site gets an automated twitter account. All these basically do is …publish the most interesting content on each Stack Exchange site every three hours — without ever repeating themselves. Ours is @StackBlender and it is starting to attract some...

feature-request site-promotion

@CharlesL @Gwenn @Leathe is this a good idea? Leave a comment!

I guess that wouldn't hurt :P

Hey, we need all the publicity that we can get

That's the only tag I ever look at

(when looking for blender related stuff)

Leave a comment! I already spoke to the super mods about this.

5:12 PM

Should we go through and edit posts to include b3d?

@CharlesL lulz. no

OK :P

that is the purpose of the post.. it will be added automagically

(thanks to my magic hat)

blender.stackexchange.com/q/1645/97 seems to be duplicate of blender.stackexchange.com/q/442/97

btw, I created a careers.stackoverflow.com profile

@jesterKing flag! I think the second one is a bit OT

@jesterKing noice! link

the second is on-topic indeed :P

it is specifically about non-blocking UI from addon

I mean the first

the threading one

5:31 PM

hmm, not really off-topic, just a specific case for the other one.

@jesterKing except for the render bit, isn't it mostly about threading..

hmm, perhaps, but the correct answer is modal operator + python timer events

threading is mentioned as an alternative, but the start of the post is going in the right direction, by changing invocation style. For this type of stuff the modal operator is just the best way to do UI-responsive things

btw, my careers link should be easy to guess... cough*nick*cough

heh.

5:42 PM

a project I call Blunder

nice, I checked out ghost sometime back and was using it for some bullet stuff

haven't done anything with it in ages, but still

doing a Blender rewrite in Lua is still a secret dream of mine

but really, GHOST isn't necessarily the best answer to that.

:)

SDL or something similar might make more sense

SDL2 is lovely

SDL_DestroyRenderer()

I like functions where the function is really out..

setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated()

5:44 PM

haven't checked SDL in ages either, btw

too much renderfarm.fi!

but finally I managed to stabilize that sucker

from Virtualbox + EXT4 partitions to KVM + EXT3 partitions

:D

I haven't seen the need for EXT4 yet..

'sup @jesterKing

I got a hat

@jesterKing ah, you has twitter. /me writes up furious tweet.

@CharlesL, 4-week vacation started today, that's up!

of course I has twitter

d'oh

Why doesn't Stack Exchange have twitter area for your profile?

5:47 PM

what does one do with a month of vacation?

USE BLENDER!!!

I does p3d.in coding, so it will be even awesomer

@CharlesL trust me, if you tinker with code.. real code you only use Blender on blue moons.

I does technical direction for a 3-minute short, for which we'll be doing VFX in Blender/Cycles

@jesterKing ah, looking to get a spot in an upcoming one too.

5:48 PM

Wait, you made p3d?!?

I does Brickoku haskell coding

@CharlesL, yes

@CharlesL he did. :)

That site is awesome!

of course!

That is WebGL and javascript right?

5:49 PM

I've been with p3d.in since the beginning

yes

so we'll be happy if IE11 properly supports WebGL and all that :)

@jesterKing one does not simply write games in Haskell

indeed not simply

@jesterKing Haskell is harder than lisp.. :/ I cry sometimes.

but simply using a lot of functions

IE can suck it

Why does anyone use it?

5:50 PM

it is like, breaking the brain while making something that actually works

Lisp is nearly unreadable.. but Haskell.

yes!

@CharlesL unknown, but still lots of people use it, so... More market share for us!

\o/

Yeah

Haskell takes everything you know, flushes it and says, "come here boy".. lulz

I've liked learning Haskell

5:51 PM

Its cheaper than brain surgery..

still a noob, but rather loving to think on my Brickoku game project. Will try to write the solver for it at long last

I was trying to learn scheme last week

github.com/jesterKing/verse will be awesome too

@CharlesL lulz.. scheme

Yeah

5:52 PM

I <3 Scheme

Then why it was worth having to write the entire DSL

Here is my emacs theme

gist: my emacs color scheme, 2013-04-18 16:50:08Z

elpmis.el

Nah, use VIM

My hand is reaching for the ban button..

Hey

c'mon @jesterKing, back me up!

VIM is better.

5:54 PM

vim

so two bans?

HAHAHA

ok.

vim is the only sane editor in existance

^^^^^^^^^^^

5:55 PM

@jesterKing yeah, emacs has a mode for that

the sane mode?

just use vim, man

doctor mode

:p

I have my vim adapted to a better keyboard navigation. Instead of hjkl I have rmlt

What?

but that's because I don't use half-assed keylayouts like QWERTY

QWERTY is for... stupid people

5:56 PM

Q: Create Shortcuts to Toggle Actions?

I know you can create and edit shortcuts in User Preferences > Input, but I can't figure out how to make a shortcut to toggle something on/off. For example, I can right click on the Shade Smooth button on the Tool Shelf, (N in the 3D view) and select "Create Shortcut" but I only can get one shor...

:P

you're a musician, you should know how important ergonomy is

But how fast can you type qwerty?

if you play any guitar or piano, you should know

5:57 PM

I can type it faster :P

Piano

(and a little guitar)

it is not about faster alone, it is also about energy usage, finger travel etc

not having to move your fingers from base position a lot = smart

qwerty != smart

I don't

My baseline looks like: flickr.com/photos/nathanletwory/8955879729

(it is my baseline). That's because my keylayout has most used keys directly under my fingers

sure, it says qwerty on the keyboard, but my keylayout is something completely different :D

security through obscurity ;)

no-one around my house knows how to write on my machine :D

nor did anyone in all my work-places where I worked

I still don't get it

@jesterKing lulz. Mine is a bit tamer, none of my function keys work and my capslock key launches my terminal.

CAPSLOCK is not a key..

6:00 PM

WHAT!?!?!

the best was the project manages that came looking over the shoulder and said. "Hey, lemme show how I would do it", then typed and didn't get anything readable

HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE FUNCTION KEYS!?!?!

of course capslock is a key

@CharlesL I don't use them

it just toggles, eh

6:01 PM

@jesterKing toggling is slow

BUT IT'S HARDER TO TYPE LIKE THIS THEN!

cristian.seres.fi/DAS_en.html

that's my key layout

I still don't get why people stick to QWERTY

dude..

it takes only a day to get used to a better layout

I will try it one day

6:02 PM

today

not try

@CharlesL once you graduate from html and get a real editor you will realize

but do

I'M GOING TO FLAG THAT

jk

might

time to put kids to sleep

laters

6:02 PM

nah dude, I use javascript/python in VIM

It makes more sense!

I hate javascript

Don't tell my dad

The most boring language in existence

he loves it

(kind of)

6:04 PM

I know it pretty well but I use alternatives..

raw js is too dull..

lol

spiffy it up a bit with jQuery or Coffeescript

and underscore

heck.. even Typescript

@CharlesL stop typing random libs.. lulz

hey, that's his favorite

(one of 'em)

6:05 PM

It doesn't do the same thing as the ones I was listing

Those are layers over the beast

Underscore adds for loops, etc.

XD

That helps!

they are all layers..

yeah

6:07 PM

afk for a bit

See ya :)

6:29 PM

@iKlsR Where'd your hat go?

7:09 PM

javascript has rising in my opinion since I started using it for p3d.in, renderfarm.fi and other stuff (like node.js based stuff)

coffeescript I checked briefly, but I prefer just plain javascript

@Luke, he sold it for a cheeseburger

@jesterKing, yeah, I don't really mind it

Q: How to Make Multi User Objects Single User?

I duplicated a few objects with Alt+D and now I want to apply some modifiers to them, however I can't, because they are multi-user objects. I tried U > Objects but I still can't apply the modifier. How to make multi user objects single user?

^^^ how did he do that??

who?

Whenever I try to apply a modifier it breaks the link.

Q: How to Make Multi User Objects Single User?

7:18 PM

Well, applying the modifier is what is the problem here

nvm I got it

yeah

you can't when you're having multiuser data

Man, we all jumped on that one

:)

I think unlinking is not a good choice of words

good point

7:23 PM

unlinking means decoupling the existing data from its object (or object from scene)

what here happens is essentially real duplication, not linked-duplication

dang, it's harder to word >:(

:)

You did that on purpose

it is not even removing the multi-user datablock :)

It is duplicating it

ERRRR

7:27 PM

:P

It will create a seperate datablock

yes

as soon as I can spell

but the original datablock still exists

it doesn't go away. Its user count just gets decreased by one

so if you have alt-d'd many times, there will still be many objects using that same datablock if you make single user on one only

u > object+data is faster for many objects though, if you have all the objects selected you want to perform the action on

my way is for one object only at a time

yeah

it's another way to do it though (which is why I +1ed it :D)

why is @iKlsR editing his deleted post?

7:30 PM

twice the same :)

you and he had exactly same answer

the world may never know..

but indeed, two different ways are now left

yeah, I just stripped mine of everything and blotted it out

@jesterKing yeah, but he edited after deletion

a third way could be to tell how to write a script to do that, or how to use the python console as a fourth way

7:31 PM

C'mon, that's a little overkill

just be happy with an accepted answer!

@CharlesL yh.. chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/10216024#10216024

yah, overkill of course :P

@iKlsR OK

but isn't that what SE wants too? As many possible solutions as possible? ;)
