"And what's that, behind you?" says the Viking, pointing at a war tank; "It's a tank, I bought it for my fish!" (...) "No one? Come on, this is going to be very funny in a few hundred years!"

@TARDISMaker So you've watched the previous one?

TARDIS Maker

I've seen from 1-8

Or do you mean the originals?

I haven't seen any of thouse

someonewithpc

Yeah, originals

@TARDISMaker You've seen the first one? I'm told it's terrible. True?

TARDIS Maker

It was okay

Not very good though

Season one had several ups and downs, same with all the other ones

gandalf3

1:26 AM

I'm back

If anyone noticed I was gone

someonewithpc

Hello, back :P

gandalf3

;)

/me changes name from "gone" to "back"

TARDIS Maker

It think the difference, is that Season one had a few really good episodes, and a few really bad ones

@gandalf3 Cool!

@gandalf3 I did somewhat

someonewithpc

@gandalf3 I'll tell you what, that joke is not possible in Portuguese

TARDIS Maker

But not long enough for me really to notice

gandalf3

1:28 AM

my poor inbox

@gandalf3 I had.

and streak :/

o/

PS @X-27 I CVed a question as nuclear earlier.

gandalf3

@RadishofKnowledge Yes.. level 4 is perhaps overly difficult :/

I didn't have much time to test things :P

I did beat it though

@GiantCowFilms Yeah, that level has no end

I ran out of time ;-;

@GiantCowFilms I.. yes.. it's all rather sub-optimal

At that point I was just duplicate turrets left and right and hoping it was hard but not impossible

Probably not the most recommended approach to level design :P

@X-27 Not bad!

The whole thing looks rather low-poly for cycles imo

And the textures look somewhat procedural/too clean

But it might be the first plane render I've seen with the background entirely covered with ground :P

@GiantCowFilms Oops.. that was unintentionally committed.. I used alt-f10 to toggle the new fullscreen mode

That's too bad.. I wrote a little embedded text block with instructions and everything D:

@GiantCowFilms Nicest I've found so far is shotcut imo

It's rather in-developerment, but development seems fairly active

GiantCowFilms

David

@GiantCowFilms :) thanks.

Radish of Knowledge

@gandalf3 how do you use time manipulation?

Gwenn

5:10 AM

So many of the hats work so well with my new avatar. :P

David

@Gwenn you grace hat goes great with your fox picture!

(like you just said)

on a different note, this is exactly what BSE will never become.

Gwenn

5:30 AM

@David Wow that thread is horrible!

David

@Gwenn and that is not the only one! his other threads are just as bad, or worse. The type of user you have to watch out for.

TARDIS Maker

2:14 PM

@David !!!

I can't believe so many people replied to that!!!

That was clearly a troll thread, he even said so in the second post!

Well, I guess I'll flag that so no one on the site falls into the trolls cavern again. Or at least that one.

GiantCowFilms

GiantCowFilms

I saw the force awakens yesturday, is there anyone we need to hold back spoilers for?

Radish of Knowledge

@GiantCowFilms nope... i dont think so.

GiantCowFilms

@HATMAN spoilers....?

Radish of Knowledge

GiantCowFilms

@TARDISMaker saw it, I think.

Radish of Knowledge

6:42 PM

@GiantCowFilms did u see it in 3D?

GiantCowFilms

no

Radish of Knowledge

@GiantCowFilms oh, ok

@GiantCowFilms it was pretty cool in 3D...

GiantCowFilms

my family, including me, hates 3D

@RadishofKnowledge It makes us motion sick

Radish of Knowledge

oh. bummer

thats pretty strange... :/ i wonder wat causes that...

GiantCowFilms

I did secretly want to watch it on 70mm imax, that would have been kinda cool.

Radish of Knowledge

6:44 PM

:P

yes

but like, way more money

i went with my entire extended family... it was kinda really cool going with that many people

GiantCowFilms

I went with my aunt and uncle, 6 people

Radish of Knowledge

@RadishofKnowledge no

Radish of Knowledge

6:47 PM

@GiantCowFilms :(

GiantCowFilms

too busy

Radish of Knowledge

@GiantCowFilms okay....

school started again for u yet?

GiantCowFilms

Actually, the imax tickets are about what we paid for our 2D tickets

Radish of Knowledge

really? wow

GiantCowFilms

only about 2 bucks more

Radish of Knowledge

6:48 PM

weird

GiantCowFilms

no

Radish of Knowledge

our imax is like,. a fortune

GiantCowFilms

Ours is too

Radish of Knowledge

like $18 i think

GiantCowFilms

but so is the local theater

Radish of Knowledge

6:48 PM

oh

our theater is norms $9

GiantCowFilms

We went to the one in the rich people mall (only one with a reasonable show time)

so its like 13 bucks for a 2D ticket

Radish of Knowledge

and if you wait a month the small theater will have it for 75 cents. :D

@GiantCowFilms rich people mall... lol

where all the rich people shop

GiantCowFilms

Yes....

I'm not joking

Radish of Knowledge

to buy thier overpriced rich people merchandise

@GiantCowFilms ???

how can a mall be only for rich peoPL?

GiantCowFilms

@RadishofKnowledge poor people go their too

but their are lots of rich people and expensive shops

Radish of Knowledge

6:51 PM

okay! so it's a normal people mall

oh

GiantCowFilms

and everyone who lives near it are pretty well off

its in the most $$$$ part of town

Radish of Knowledge

@GiantCowFilms there are really expensive stores in every mall

@GiantCowFilms i thought you lived in the rich people part of town too.

GiantCowFilms

lol no

the rich people part of town is RICH

Radish of Knowledge

@HATMAN the city he lives in has a mall in a richer urban district

@GiantCowFilms you said you did!!!!

GiantCowFilms

Its still up market where we live

HATMAN

6:53 PM

Yeah

Radish of Knowledge

@GiantCowFilms i know you don't find joy in it, but vandalising rich peoples stuff is so much more satisfying.

HATMAN

@RadishofKnowledge Yep, it does

Radish of Knowledge

@HATMAN but... you already know this.... i feel slow

GiantCowFilms

@RadishofKnowledge You vandalize stuff ?!?!!

Radish of Knowledge

@GiantCowFilms minorly.....

HATMAN

6:53 PM

lol

That is a confession

Radish of Knowledge

i thought you already knew this and yelled at me for it

HATMAN

I think so

Radish of Knowledge

i distinctly recall being judged....

GiantCowFilms

@RadishofKnowledge I hope you pay for it.

Radish of Knowledge

@GiantCowFilms why???

how do you pay for an egged car?

GiantCowFilms

6:55 PM

Because you just costed someone a lot of money for you own personal enjoyment

@RadishofKnowledge You egg peoples cars

Radish of Knowledge

@GiantCowFilms like, $1.50 for paper towels...

GiantCowFilms

How about lost time

Radish of Knowledge

? ? ? ???

GiantCowFilms

and inconvenience and distress

HATMAN

@GiantCowFilms Yes, remember?

GiantCowFilms

6:56 PM

No...

HATMAN

huh

I can't find it, the search seems broken

GiantCowFilms

@HATMAN can we spoil the force awakens yet?

or do we need a new room?

HATMAN

No, don't

I might go see it

GiantCowFilms

Okay

HATMAN

Thanks

GiantCowFilms

6:59 PM

Lets make a new room

Strong with the spoilers

Spoilers for the new star wars movies - also heated debate as ...

David

7:24 PM

@GiantCowFilms SURE!

GiantCowFilms

7:39 PM

Okay, here is the data

there are five potential factors, we think

it itsn't to hard to meat all of them, so that is what we'll do

Basic steps someone makes a bounty

someone else answers

you answer

you get given bounty

I'm not sure though if its possible to perform these steps in such a short timeframe

David

@GiantCowFilms all except start the bounty, but we do have 3 running.

GiantCowFilms

How long does that take?

David

@GiantCowFilms *meet

GiantCowFilms

can you answer this one? blender.stackexchange.com/questions/43915/…

David

@GiantCowFilms there is a 24hour delay before you can award the bounty.

@GiantCowFilms maybe

GiantCowFilms

7:43 PM

But will you win the bounty in time?

David

only if blackhole comes on and gives it to me.

GiantCowFilms

can't you force it out of his dying hands

David

no :(

Need three votes on this for a hat. i NEED 27 hats!!

A: how to add object to a keyframe range?

An easy way you can do this is kind of cheating, but it does work. On frame 11, set a location keyframe on your laser object. On frame 15, do the same. On frame 10 and 16, move the laser object along any axis an absurd distance away. 9999999 blender units is usually enough. that way, on frames 11...

David

@X-27 I told you to get 27, days ago. Now with just a few hours left you are going to try?

X-27

7:47 PM

yah

is that a problem?

David

no, just will be harder, much harder.

GiantCowFilms

8:16 PM

@gandalf3 did you see your bse answer was used here: blenderartists.org/forum/…?

That is something to be proud of!

gandalf3

:O

GiantCowFilms

That is really one of the most useful answers on this site

gandalf3

idk about that..

I mean, it barely works

It's to their credit they actually managed to successfully make use of that setup in production :P

methinks @David told me about that awhile ago, but I can't search for chats posted by @David..

Too many davids D:

wait, here it is

Feb 20 '15 at 20:52, by David

@gandalf3 you are famous (again) the creator of the "Crystal Turtle" mentioned that he used a node set up from one of your answers. It is great to see that what we post here goes on and keeps helping people.

GiantCowFilms

Ah

I was thinking it might have been mentioned before

Q: How can I make my gear simulation in the BGE work?

I have the movement and rotation restrained properly, but the simulation is not behaving like it should. both objects are rigid body objects. How can I make my gear simulation work?

I need 3 Uvs on both the question and the answer.

GiantCowFilms

8:25 PM

@gandalf3 that answer, is the second most useful on this site, in my mind

X-27

selfy hat

GiantCowFilms

Take that paint it blue step out, that warrants a DV.

X-27

why?

ok- I'll modify it

GiantCowFilms

did it already :P

gandalf3

@X-27 It'd be interesting if you included why the translation/rotation constraints don't work

X-27

8:28 PM

@gandalf3 it would be interesting- but I have no idea why.

;-)

gandalf3

:P

Rotation was applied?

X-27

twas'

gandalf3

What happens if you disable just the translation of the top gear?

X-27

assuming both of my new answers each get a score of +3, I'll have 25 hats. cleanup crew will be 26, so I'll need one more

@gandalf3 if you disable the Z translation constraint it works. I also have no idea why

gandalf3

o.O

wierd

X-27

8:30 PM

yah-

Radish of Knowledge

8:50 PM

@GiantCowFilms we discussed this already!!!

i said "i wanted to egg someones car but i didn't have any eggs"

"so my friend and i used lunch meat"

and you got mad

(her mom also got mad, said we should use less expensive material next time)

and then you called me scum or something like that a few times and then i left.

and then we also had a conversation about the time i put paint in the water recycling fountain.

and the times that i've been pulled over...

and then all the times that i've cussed....

or made fun of your dad...

This is cool: Not mine

skfb.ly/JJFt

@HATMAN @GiantCowFilms o wait! i remembered! it was @X-27 who called me a vandal!!!
