12:18 AM
This 787 is putting me to the test :/
Its a stupid tube with some planks sticking out the side!
except its not
 
^^ every plane ever
 
Who hoo!! if you are mining mineral water and you use Alt+Tab to swich the window, the imput stays in the game. I'm wearing out a diamond cell now, but I'm getting plenty of mineral water :)
it is miing mineral water for me.
 
@ThomBlairIII if you want to stockpile water, that is the way to do it.
 
WOW!!!
 
12:25 AM
Yah
@gandalf3 BTW, I will be studying the result graphs, those are cool.
 
:D
 
@gandalf3 I'm not happy with this model, but at this point I'm just going to make it flyable
 
okay
Are you doing materials?
 
@ThomBlairIII regular water can be pulled with no damage to a diamond or lumite cell.
 
@X-27 wow, cool
 
12:37 AM
all it takes to pull water is an obsidian cell -
which is pretty basic
and I'm about to go through another cell pulling this mineral water
maybe I should have used regular!
 
@gandalf3 I'm not even sure this model is worth texturing
Its a the-right-shape proxy.
 
@gandalf3 now you get to teach smoking mirror how to write good Q+A style answers :)
 
There is alot wrong with it :/
 
have fun !
 
@GiantCowFilms meh.. Don't worry about topology, just add details until it looks good :P
 
12:46 AM
@gandalf3 Its not that
 
@X-27 Yes, well I messed up and the voting doesn't technically end for another two days
 
Certain aspects of the shape are fundamentally wrong
 
@GiantCowFilms ?
 
@gandalf3 really?
 
The joint where the wings meet the body
 
12:47 AM
yes
 
fires up proxies
 
Its a really complex shape.
 
just kidding
 
XD
 
I actually didn't scam the voting!
 
12:47 AM
@GiantCowFilms /me googles for reference images
 
@gandalf3 I did
 
@X-27 ik, I've been watching ;)
 
Turns out that white planes in direct sun make it hard to see shapes
 
man, the reference images for the geebee were the worst
 
Wow! the voting exploded in the last two days! we had an extra 500 people, who all LOVED Arctic Drones! every single person gave it a full 5 stars!
 
12:48 AM
@gandalf3 I know the feeling
 
:P
@GiantCowFilms That bottom bit is it?
 
@gandalf3 BTW, the exact model is 787-8
@gandalf3 Its worse from the top
 
@GiantCowFilms ah
 
That picture though is of a 787-8, That is actually a great shot!
I didn't see that it was an hour glass shape like that
 
@X-27 Is it bad for me to suspect voter fraud?
 
12:53 AM
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ sorry I took so long to respond, I had to recover from fainting. You said "hehe" and not "lol." I never thought I would see the day.
 
TBH, I'm suspicious of the feathered familiar one. I thought it was an awful game
 
Have questions about Blender, about half working features or possible bugs? Go to http://blender.stackexchange.com/ Great site, use it! #b3d
4
 
well now I know why we have so many bug questions.
 
@David Um no
 
12:53 AM
Aww man . . .
 
Has anyone contacted him about that?
 
@David lol
 
hey, he was trying to help out the site.
 
Then they're like "But Ton told us too . . !" when we close their questions
Oh well, nice shout out anyways
 
@GiantCowFilms no just saw that now
 
12:54 AM
I can probably catch him on IRC, and ask him. I think you can edit tweets
He is usally on weekday mornings
 
@GiantCowFilms I think you can't
 
@David Time to change our scope then
 
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Why not?
 
@GiantCowFilms not much point that was a week ago
@gandalf3 lol
 
@David still....
 
@GiantCowFilms go for it, but be nice. its ton.
 
@GiantCowFilms Because you can't :P
 
@GiantCowFilms
^^ is that bendy thing between the wing and the fuselage what you're referring to?
 
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ ?
 
12:56 AM
Most of their planes aren't nearly so nice
 
oh.. "can".. I get it now. hahaha
 
@gandalf3 Yeah
If you look closely you can see that there is more cmplexity to the shape
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ lol
 
eep especially with that intake or whatever
 
@Scales cloud.blender.org/p/characters/#5703a17dc379cf032c7b2616 can you just give me the file?
 
@gandalf3 I ran into trouble before I even started thinking about that
 
1:00 AM
hm. Well if you want, I can help model something. Either that thing or some other relatively isolated bit that can just be tacked on without interfering with what you're doing
 
@GiantCowFilms Yikes! someone beamed that plane with a exploding plasma warp!
 
@gandalf3 I'm going to take the plane as far as I can, and then you can look at it and see if you can do any better...
 
No, it is a picture taken by J.J. Abrams phone
 
lol
@GiantCowFilms okay
 
sup dawgs
@GiantCowFilms you modelled that?
o wait.
 
1:04 AM
@ARadish uh.. yo?
 
@gandalf3 howdy
wassup?
 
@ARadish ehh, lots
 
. . .
 
wastdown?
 
waits for bean spillage
@X-27 my life
 
1:05 AM
@ARadish not sure I know how to say "hi" in this dialect. Let me know if I'm doing it wrong
 
@gandalf3 "heya!" usually works
or you say someone name all stretched out. "gaaaaaaandaaaaaaalf"
working on "fleece dragon"
 
@gandalf3 you and me both! (let me know if you figure it out)
 
@gandalf3 sup man!
 
@ARadish bummer....
 
"greetings and salutations" there that is what I'll use.
 
hiya'
 
yo'
 
@gandalf3 lemme send the plane over to you and see what you think
 
?
:Q
 
1:29 AM
Can I borrow some votes on this. the other answer is picking up speed and I disagree with it:
0
A: Where is the limit when asking 3D-oriented scripting questions?

GiantCowFilmsI think we should do like blender.stackexchange and embrace scripting problems that are unique to consumer 3D applications. That being said. Most programming 3D problems belong on the Computer Graphics proposal which is targeted at graphics programs.

mine is shorter and therefore less likely to succeed if it doesn't have a competitive number of votes.
@gandalf3 here is the airplane
advice appreciated
 
@GiantCowFilms UVed
 
@David thanks
Am I the only one who thinks computergraphics.stackexchange should have been graphicsprogramming.stackexchange?
 
1:55 AM
@GiantCowFilms Looks pretty good
 
@gandalf3 Useable?
 
All the moving parts will have to be separate objects
 
@gandalf3 Yeah
still WIP
 
right
The connector bit looks good!
Though I might disconnect it from the wing like in your image
Depending on how much time you want to spend, don't be afraid to go a bit higher poly and bake normals maps
The gee bee model is > 50,000 tris, and it's fine without even a separate physics mesh
 
2:13 AM
@gandalf3 I have an updated model
 
:D
 
Nice!
Are you going to add the little cutaway bits?
 
@gandalf3 Which ones?
 
2:19 AM
There are flaps in the wings
 
On the back of the engines
 
Oh
I was wondering if it would be better to texture those on
I'm still concidering
 
add all teh details!
textures smextures
 
@gandalf3 No, but it takes alot of pollies to make something like that
and it is incredibly easy to texture it on
 
but then they'll look bad upclose
and it's only 2k tris atm
it needs moar!
 
2:24 AM
@gandalf3 Okay
@gandalf3 how do select every second edgeloop?
I can't seem to find the corrosponding BSE page :/
 
checker deselect
 
I did try that
 
12
A: Select every other face loop

gandalf3Every nth face loop: Switch to edge select mode (CtrlTab> Edge) Select an edge loop (AltRMB) going in the direction you want the edge ring selection to go. Checker deselect (3D view > Header > checker deselect) the edge ring (you can use the F6 menu to set the number of edges to skip before des...

 
Oh right, I need to be in edge mode!
 
theres an edge loop section there ^^
XD
 
2:32 AM
Edge rings was what I wanted
@gandalf3 Does this model have to look good?
It getting uglier the further I go
somehow I have then become despondent, making me model worse :/
 
@GiantCowFilms It'll look better with some shaders
@GiantCowFilms That's the point, is it not?
 
I think I'll leave it for now and try again tomorrow
@gandalf3 The point is to fly it, but sure
This is only the 2nd try
Normally it takes about 6 tries before I'm satisfied with a model.
Right now I'm starting to get sloppy, so I'll give it a rest. (I just realized I didn't count how many frilly cutaway things should be on the engine, so I probably have the wrong number :/
 
ugh I hate when I do that
 
yeah
I need to work out a plan how to approach this plane
And get some better reference for the engine
land wheels are going to be rough though D:
 
2:44 AM
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Some Christmas lighting would be really cool now...
(hint hint)
 
um
R30
I bee playing TF2 and Scrap Mechanic :P
 
I noticed.
what about R30?
 
Is it out yet?
I will come on and try stuff then :)
 
no, not yet
can't you just log on and hammer on the craft button for me?
 
eh . . .
incoming
I will teleport to your touchstone
@X-27
 
2:49 AM
ok
 
3:01 AM
Christmas lights look sooooo cool!
 
I'm going to demolish a elderwood tree so I can build one in the grasslands sourrounding the palace :)
 
3:38 AM
!!!
 
4:00 AM
archery season coming up... maybe i can make some dough offa that
 
 
4 hours later…
8:19 AM
This chess opening made me laugh: the Fried Fox Defense. 1. e4 f6 2. d4 Kf7
So bad
 
 
3 hours later…
11:26 AM
@ARadish Cool! I always enjoyed archery. Recurve, compound, or what?
@Gwenn lol
 
 
2 hours later…
1:26 PM
@TARDISMaker if something like that happened, not at all - I'd expect it too.
 
1:44 PM
@iKlsR and @gandalf3 (anybody else can jump in too) blender.stackexchange.com/q/50177/2217 I know tutorial requests are off topic, but what to close it as?
 
@David easy.
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is a tutorial request. — X-27 9 secs ago
 
2:28 PM
@TARDISMaker @ThomBlairIII @NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ R30!!!!
 
@ARadish you (might possibly care)
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ any idea how long it has been offline for?
19 minutes
 
heh, almost halfway done then I'd think
 
awesome!
wait... the monsters can go in the water!!!!!
NOOOOO
this one is hilarious...
 
2:56 PM
still under maintenance.
 
3:07 PM
@gandalf3 trying to choose between putting a GE or Rolls Royce engine on the 787 :/
 
@GiantCowFilms you just worried about the texture?
 
or the general style?
 
they are somewhat different in shape as far as I can tell
 
as far as I care, pick a shape you think looks cool :)
I can offer you the latest advancements in warp technology! The newest advancement to Airliner propellant! Introducing:::
(drum role)
an Unubtanium engine that warps gravity and space time!
 
3:28 PM
Heheh
 
4:22 PM
R30:
 
lol
@ThomBlairIII did you actually do that?
 
naw, found it browsing the internet
 
oh, ok :)
 
but thought it totally fit the picture
 
still funny though :)
 
4:23 PM
of my life atm
this is when I finally start to browse the internet
I foudn that
and it brought a smile to my face and I lol'd for real
#lol'dforreal
 
wow
like, you actually laughed out loud?
 
yeah, I actually did
ikr???!!
I like puns
 
wow.
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ do you actually laugh out loud?
 
but don't tell anyone
XD
that shouldn't be public knowledge
 
:28802669 Ready - Aim- FIRE!!!! BLAM vvvvrrrruummmm BBLLEEWWWYYEEYYY!!! Ready - Aim- FIRE!!!! BLAM vvvvrrrruummmm BBLLEEWWWYYEEYYY!!! Ready - Aim- FIRE!!!! BLAM vvvvrrrruummmm BBLLEEWWWYYEEYYY!!!
 
4:26 PM
loling should be easy
 
three shots?
 
@X-27 huh?
AH!!! I get it now!!!!
 
yah :)
 
XD
listenting to loud music
reading puns
why didn't they install this thing at night???
I meanl, really......
"a few hours????"
 
um.. because... bad planning?
 
4:28 PM
#totallyBadPlanning
#whoGetsFired
still early access and F2P, so hey, whatevz
 
yah
Free, and early acsess
I'm happy :)
 
omg, I was like so totally trying to get my death statue right then too
(server down)
face plant
 
uh.. yah
 
I think they disabled the Things making rustling noises when they move
idk, but I got killed by a thing
 
why?
@ThomBlairIII oh, you had just gotten killed, and then the servers went down?
 
4:31 PM
Idk, but I didn't even hear it coming...maybe I just landed on it...idk
@X-27 yeah
 
bumma'
 
all my stuff!!!
want a sand castle walls recipe?
I found an extra one
FINALLY!!! XD
I'm building up my reserves of cool recipes again after the big crash took all my extras
I did get a new one recently....mossy cobblestone
 
You lost a reserve of cool recopies too!!>!!!??!?!?!
 
:(
 
4:33 PM
they all went bye bye
 
 
but we already had then all, so no biggie
 
WWWaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
oh, ok
 
now I"m getting new ones
 
I'd have to look at your collection - I'm pretty sure I don't have a sandcastle wall, and you might have others too :)
 
4:34 PM
I did find some new journal pages
2 I think
ones I'd never seen before
nothing really earth shaking, but still new
 
interesting...
 
@X-27 yeah, but I think you do have them all, all my extras
 
@ThomBlairIII perhaps
 
I don't think you're without any I have extras of....except this new sandcastle walls one that I just got right before the servers went down
I did notice that the biome you find the recipe in makes a difference
 
Really
?
cool!
 
4:37 PM
idk if that was like totally obvious to everyone else, but it does make a difference
like, stone chests are not all equal
a canyon stone chest contains different recipes than a woodlands stone chest
so, it makes a difference where you hunt
 
I know the type of chests yields different stuff, like wood will be different from stone, which is different from iron, Etc. I had no diea the biomes made a difference
that is cool!
 
canyon chests with recipies in them have canyonstone-related recipes
woodlands have wood-related recipes in thim
 
cool!!!
 
yeah
I think I've found all the corrupt recipes so far
 
Have you guys gotten the update yet?
 
4:40 PM
it's still down I think
 
Apparently now creatures can go in water
 
nope, still on maintenance.
 
@ThomBlairIII Okay
 
yeah, that'll be new
 
Servers are down for R30! Rockster's ready for update number 30 -- how about you? https://t.co/whZCukOLwI
 
4:40 PM
what'll happen??!?!??!?!
more game play!!!
 
@ThomBlairIII It'll be a lot harder to kill things
 
I'm REALLY READDY!!!
 
So now we're going to have to go back to the ladder hack for everything
 
yah
 
omg, bring 'em on!!!
 
4:41 PM
@iKlsR ignore the severly off topicness here :)
 
I'm ready
I keep getting "you can perform this action again in X seconds" more and more
I'm up to 8 seconds now
is that a record????
I take it the RETURN key is a highly dangerous key to hit too frequently
 
@David I think it could have been cleaned up and answered with a limited scope.
 
how high can the second count go?
 
The close message doesn't really vibe but its fine.
@X-27 o.o
 
4:43 PM
lol
that is one change expected
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ the crazy thing is, you know what is coming, but you can't say :( :( :(
 
@X-27 I bet the CIA has bumper stickers that say that
if not, they shoudl
 
lol
 
@TARDISMaker i was wrong. 3 times
 
I bet Jesus says that all the time to God
 
@ARadish I know you stopped playing and all, but R30 will be out soon
 
4:47 PM
@ARadish ?
 
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ is it just rocksters and pebbles who can swim, or can all creatures now swim?
 
even the trees can swim!!!!! XD
the savannah tallgrass will be swimming after you for miles even through open ocean ...
 
@X-27 .001% of the time
@X-27 I don't think so
 
Servers going down:
 
00:00 - 17:0017:00 - 00:00
