The Renderfarm

I would make the curve flat by not bending a mesh to fit it, but "beveling" the curve (adding thickness). Add a BezierCircle (in addition to the curve you already have) In edit mode convert the handle type to Vector (super quick way V,V), that will make it a square. Rotate it 45° along the Z ax...

A: How do I Texture paint with Realistic Textures?

If you don't want to paint with a solid colour in texture painting you can choose a texture to use as a brush to paint onto your object. The first step is to define the texture, while any built-in textures can be used an image would be the most common source. In the texture panel create a new br...

@wuden ^^

I don't know if you've figured that out yet, but there it is

wuden

I'll check it in a min

I didn't and I'm in bad mood because of that

TARDIS Maker

@wuden Do you have any other projects going at the moment?

GiantCowFilms

@VincentScalia I have no steam nor permission to game :P

wuden

nope

TARDIS Maker

@wuden I think you should take a break from this, or at least work on a different aspect of it

@VincentScalia even though you changed your username, I'm probably still going to call you Radish

Just a heads up

<Random PHP Rant Warning> The only thing worse then when someone insists an SDK needs composer when you're not using composer is when someone insists that you not use composer when you are using composer. True villains however, have an even better trick. They let you use either but force you to require/use all of there 90 classes one by one.

wuden

it's the thing that is important to know

TARDIS Maker

@GiantCowFilms Oh, this is PHP? I thought you where talking about music

If you're going to use a composer, just make sure it's Hans Zimmer

GiantCowFilms

I was browsing through the auto complete menu for use when I descovered I have a bank account namespace in my app that I didn't put there... I'm mildly VERY concerned

Vincent Scalia

@TARDISMaker great...

GiantCowFilms

@Radish Why did you change your name D:

Everything about you is Radish now... even your game :P

TARDIS Maker

@GiantCowFilms Fun!

Q: How to make a popup Menu in the BGE?

I want to make a button that when clicked opens up a popup menu, say like an options menu or something. After the button is clicked to open the popup menu I want to be able to click something in the popup menu. How can this be done?

(oops, read your "don't pm me" after I sent that)

6:55 PM

Just been stuffing my atom setup full of packages (addons) :D

The markdown-writer kbd thing doesn't do multiple kbds at once like the userscript.. :/

I'll have to port it :P

wuden

@TARDISMaker done that what was in the topic but the results are like I said

Blender Warrior

@TARDISMaker I am in with my gf

wuden

Blender Warrior

I am outside the door right now and you guys are like my only ascotiates

wuden

nothing in render mode

GiantCowFilms

7:04 PM

@gandalf3 I think the mailing list sent my email, can you check?

gandalf3

@GiantCowFilms yep

It came through :)

GiantCowFilms

:)

TARDIS Maker

@BlenderWarrior How is it looking for her?

Blender Warrior

The doctors are doing some diagnoses on her and haven;t heard from the doctors yet

Blender Warrior

@X-27 Hey

You know how to make in-game portals?

TARDIS Maker

@BlenderWarrior Like in the game Portal?

Blender Warrior

BGE portal

TARDIS Maker

@BlenderWarrior Okay

It's really hard

You have to use hammer

Blender Warrior

Lets say I am near a portal: If near portal, teleport from Fl1 to Fl2, between the process it should say "Loading...".

The "Loading..." screen would be my filler

so 10 to 5 second loads between every floor before you actually load on the floor and get to play it.

GiantCowFilms

7:48 PM

@X-27 Was the action essentials explosion nessary?

They are starting to become like comic sans

TARDIS Maker

@GiantCowFilms Wait, that was action essentials?

Lucky X-27

@GiantCowFilms That's only if you use them badly though, right?

Here I think it's just funny having a badly matching explosion pop up.

Kind of a purposeful comic sans

Jonathan

sup guys

@BlenderWarrior you chat while ur gf has a heart attack?!

Blender Warrior

8:04 PM

@Jonathan It was a joke.. lol... a bad and nasty joke :D

Jonathan

@BlenderWarrior seemed very abstract though lol

TARDIS Maker

@BlenderWarrior Good

Blender Warrior

^.^

Thank you Claps hands

TARDIS Maker

Just pulled this up from @X-27's youtube channel

Blender.SE internal operations

►

My only issue with it, is that @X-27 could have easily pulled off a oner there, but chose to cut instead.

Blender Warrior

@TARDISMaker Look up my youtube... well actually I do videos for games

But I think its called How to get a military vehicle dumby version

TARDIS Maker

8:07 PM

@BlenderWarrior Do you do commentaries?

Blender Warrior

Haha I had made a video for um... gangstar vegas and loaded with over 1k views in 15-hours dmn

TARDIS Maker

I think the most views mine have are like 500

I haven't checked on them in a long time

I've kind of abandoned that youtube channel

Anyway, I'm going to go wash dishes

Blender Warrior

lol just make billions of videos

TARDIS Maker

That'll do it

GiantCowFilms

@BlenderWarrior whats you YT

TARDIS Maker

8:09 PM

I want to make tutorials, but I can never get a screen capture to work right

GiantCowFilms

@TARDISMaker Ya, I own them :P

@TARDISMaker :D I made tutorials back in the day

Blender Warrior

@GiantCowFilms Uh.. Dragon's Breath I think

Dragons Breath

GiantCowFilms

looking back they are total garbage, so I won't show 'em

Blender Warrior

Either one

TARDIS Maker

@GiantCowFilms Yeah

You got to start somewhere though

Okay, now I'm really going

GiantCowFilms

8:11 PM

@BlenderWarrior neither works....

@TARDISMaker :D

Blender Warrior

@GiantCowFilms Da hail

GiantCowFilms

@BlenderWarrior How about you give me direct link...?

Blender Warrior

Just Type "How to get a military vehicle Dumby Version"

Type that in a search in youtube

GiantCowFilms

You have 1 subscriber :D

Blender Warrior

Haha thank you lozz..

Undu Lationer

8:14 PM

hey all

GiantCowFilms

Sup!

Blender Warrior

@GiantCowFilms I didn't know you made youtube videos lolzzz

Undu Lationer

hey do u know james brown song "This is mans world?"

GiantCowFilms

@BlenderWarrior Old channel old name

I was like 10 or whatever

@UnduLationer No

The only songs I know by title are singing in the rain and twinkle twinkle little star :P

Undu Lationer

I am the only one who has a pet peeve about automated emails being signed and written as though the were written personally?

Mutant Bob

I think that's called "marketing"

GiantCowFilms

Hi {Name},

Congrats on joining our service! Let me keep this brief and informal, so you'd never guess it was sent by a robot. I was just checking in to make sure everything is in order! You can email me back at {first}.{last}@dumphipsterstartupwithidiotapi.com if you have any issues. I may or may not get backto you in 6 months. Thanks! and Enjoy!

- You friend,
Some vague customer service title,
{Name}

These are best though when the templating wasn't rendered so it actually appears as such

@MutantBob Yah

just sometimes its really annoying

TARDIS Maker

@GiantCowFilms That annoys with anything

Jonathan

8:34 PM

@GiantCowFilms PS: this is no subliminal influence gimme ur money, buy, advertise, give me ur soul!!!

TARDIS Maker

@X-27 btw, you've got a new subscriber

I think we should all buy a 3D printed suzanne and put it on our desk.

GiantCowFilms

Sure, as long as I can use @Davids money

I already have his ccn <jk>

X-27

8:54 PM

@TARDISMaker YAY!!!!

TARDIS Maker

@GiantCowFilms Well why would we do it if we where going to use our own money!

GiantCowFilms

@TARDISMaker Exactly

TARDIS Maker

9:09 PM

Any ideas on a scene to put that into?

well, first I'm going to figure out how to texture it

wuden

I figured out that texture thing

I think

GiantCowFilms

Box mapping would work well

wuden

if that's how I think I'll cry tears of joy

GiantCowFilms

the material should be fun too

base metal, metal paint, dirt.... all masked with scratch maps and bumped

wuden

who is watching dragon ball super?

TARDIS Maker

9:18 PM

@GiantCowFilms Would that work for hand painting?

That's what I was planning on doing

At least for stuff like scratches

@wuden Awesome!

@GiantCowFilms Also, any quick tips on how box mapping works?

I'm a little familiar with it, but I've never used it

GiantCowFilms

@TARDISMaker I can't quickly describe it

TARDIS Maker

9:35 PM

@GiantCowFilms Okay

Project from view is good enough for me

cegaton

I wonder what constitutes an emergency blender.stackexchange.com/questions/36114/…

TARDIS Maker

@cegaton From 2.49!

Jonathan

9:53 PM

@cegaton tag should be emergency

I'd like it for my questions too :P

Blender Warrior

@cegaton the boss!!

cegaton

Maybe the emergency is that someone must be in a real hurry to cross that roundabout...

Blender Warrior

Cegaton

You know how to um...

nevermind your not a pro though

Jonathan

Blender Warrior

lol

@Jonathan He's not a game engine pro... c'mon don't give me that cat look

Jonathan

10:07 PM

@BlenderWarrior :)))

like ooommmgggggg

Blender Warrior

k

Jonathan

@BlenderWarrior try it with upload

Blender Warrior

Haha that was so funny!!!

Jonathan

you dont wanna end up like this guy though: stream1.gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs6/3616961_o.gif

this one's my new favourite though:

pur genius

ok, end of gif spamming

Blender Warrior

10:28 PM

Haha lolzz

@Jonathan Yeah that one was funny

Also got my teleporter code going

YAY!!! a functioning teleporter or should I say a door that takes me somewhere that idk about....

Jonathan

Nice, so an object which puts the player on a random location?

Blender Warrior

A specified location I believe

Yep, teleports outside the portal but within the zone I allow them to be in of course

Jonathan

is it part of a game yet?

or did you just code it for fun

Blender Warrior

It's part of my game, yep

How do I move a object to another um scene?

haha, yeah sorta forgotten that...

Jonathan

hmmm

there's no method for a kx_gameobject

Blender Warrior

10:42 PM

@Jonathan What are you trying to do?

Jonathan

you probably gotta use the addObject() method of the kx_scene object

Blender Warrior

Eh.... there's a short key method of this

Darnit, I forgot what it was

I don't want to freaking to do this the long freaking way...

Jonathan

a key method? of which object exactly?

Blender Warrior

ctrl + l

L* got it

No, I meant um... how to move an object to a different layer in the same file of blender... sorry, could have explained my question better...

Jonathan

ooooh you mean to move an object in the gui I thought u tried to code it lol

just press m

Blender Warrior

10:46 PM

Hmm.

Works thanx :D

Jonathan

almost got my river the perfect water

Blender Warrior

Hmm... what are you making or doing?

Jonathan

game maps :D

Blender Warrior

Holy sht

Jonathan

hehe thx ^^

you should see the whole map it looks fckin awesome

I can't get the perfect transition between transparence and gloss :/

it always turns out too dark

Blender Warrior

10:57 PM

That's almost perfect map!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jonathan

thx man, you should see the whole mountains they are really gorgeos

Blender Warrior

Try messing with the light's a litlle?

Jonathan

yup, got a sun light and it definitely influences it but I couldn't get the setup right yet

Blender Warrior

Well the sand has a lot of what I'd call dark stripes

It could be like the um...

Jonathan

it's the typical beach pattern from wind influence

but where the water starts one could blend them out

Blender Warrior

11:01 PM

Ahhh... i see thennn....

Jonathan

also the transition from the beach to the mountains isnt quite well still gotta do the precision work in texture paint

I wanted the mountain to look more like this:

Blender Warrior

I do see the transition between the sand and the mountains?

Jonathan

@BlenderWarrior yea it's a little bit hollow there

sad thing is the texture res was too small on the area in the map

but it still looks cool

kinda got that ff7-ish feeling, kinda like abe's exodus and stuff

those old prerendered ps1 games

tryin to recreate the aesthetics

Blender Warrior

Bringing history to life eh?

Jonathan

the games of today suck anyways, so xD

Blender Warrior

11:07 PM

Whatt???

Yeah they doo...

But I'm going to bring the gaming competition back to life!!!

Jonathan

what are you working on btw?

Blender Warrior

this:

Jonathan

drum roll

2 late

aaah it's a sidescroller

Blender Warrior

lolzzz... it takes forever to post pics

a 2D Platoformer

Jonathan

right that's how you call it ^^'

Blender Warrior

11:11 PM

2D - 3D mix

Haha I wish I could record my game play

as like a gif some how...

Jonathan

will it be more of an arcade-like jump n run or going more into the direction of action rpg?

@BlenderWarrior yea right same here lol

got animations for the character tho

Blender Warrior

@Jonathan Yeah, I am pushing it to RPG Style game..

Jonathan

when talking of action rpg i mean roguelike

@BlenderWarrior nice!

Blender Warrior

Yep, I gotcha

Only problem I have is animation, ewwww...

Jonathan

yea it's not the easiest thing

I definitely needed these tutorials: youtube.com/results?search_query=blender+walk+cycle

Blender Warrior

11:14 PM

Right now I got music running, fog, teleporter, and a scene

@Jonathan I never used turtorials much.... I kinda learned most of Blender the hard way :v

Jonathan

respect lol

I was a spoiled tutorial brat

@BlenderWarrior if u need some help with the animation code I could help u a little bit

just teached myself how to switch between the animations and stuff

like to switch from Idle to run and vice versa

Blender Warrior

Yeah

Jonathan

I use to code it all in a master script and put the actuators aside

Blender Warrior

That is what I do most of my time..

Jonathan

btw there is something with the keyboard references, if you want to put them in a separate module and import it

I just had this problem a few days ago and gandalf3 helped me

wait a sec

that is if you even know about how to code the keyboard yet?

Blender Warrior

11:19 PM

Hm... like what?

Jonathan

wait I'll search it

Blender Warrior

@Jonathan Haha, no

I had issues with blender um...

Selection Tab, in system tab in User Preferences

Jonathan

so what was the issue there?

Blender Warrior

Well in Blender 2.72 there was a issue that prevented a user from being able to select and move the manipulators with a mouse.

Jonathan

haha weird

Blender Warrior

11:24 PM

So instead of the option "OpenGL_Select" it was "Automatic"

Jonathan

Mine is on automatic too, works tho

ah yea u said it was 2.72

Blender Warrior

Yeah

I don't use Automatic because it doesn't allow me to use the 3D Manipulators by mouse

Instead I had to type the numbers in the umm...

Never mind, forgot what it was called ^.^ -> :/

Jonathan

I went without the manipulators right from the beginning

using G/R/S+X/Y/Z

it's waaayyy more comfortable

Blender Warrior

Hehe, I'm to lazy for all that

Jonathan

also pressing X/Y/Z twice to switch into local or normal direction

Blender Warrior

11:28 PM

And slow with it too...

Jonathan

it can also become quite confusing when u work in photoshop and use the hotkeys there lol

@BlenderWarrior if one could just think the objects how they shall be ^^

like this:

Play Angry Birds with your brain

Blender Warrior

@Jonathan Hahaha

Jonathan

#NeuroUIftw

@BlenderWarrior yea right? ^^

Blender Warrior

That sounds so...

well i'll just say interesting...

Jonathan

this guy gotta be a jedi or something

well, guess I'm off for today

see you :)

Blender Warrior

Cya, man!!

Keep up the excellent work too!!
