So I set my emission number to zero and decided to add my eyelashes manually. In the "add" section, I have the radius way down and the count at one, but when ever I try to add a hair, it doesn't apply where I want it to. I did this with the eyebrows and it worked just fine. Not sure what's going ...

What is the proper way to test the identity of two objects? Usually I do this: if ob1 == ob2: Or if the pointers have become outdated, it may be safer to do: if ob1.name == ob2.name In Python, you're taught that equality is not the same as identity. Theoretically, there can be two indistin...

I know how to control fire/smoke particles but flames and smoke always appear to be drifting upwards (i.e. positive global Z-axis) regardless. I'm actually trying to create a sun-like fireball, i.e. I want the flames to emit outwards in all directions from a sphere. My particles are already doin...

I know you can select random elements (verts, edges, etc.) however is it possible to deselect elements? I want to be able to select random elements in a certain area (which would be defined by a preexisting selection) I tried Selecting an area Inverting the selection Hiding the inverted sele...

In a scene with two particle system configured as boids and boids brain set to fight, one swarm attacks the other. I would like to emit child particles as lines (laser or something) to visualize some fighting action. I couldn't find a way to setup the line emitting particle system, either they ...

When emitting objects from a particle system (boids) the objects appear with random orientation, while they move it would look much nicer if e.g. a spacecrafts nose would point into flight direction.

I don't want to move the camera to follow an object, but I would like to place an object using the currently selected camera. The obvious use case is position text. 2D text could obviously be added in another tool (like Gimp). Other use cases could be aligning an object perpendicular to the came...

I have black-white image which I use to generate particles and now I want to make particle colors similar to the original image (3). So in the end where should be some particles in color blue, some in green etc.. Is it possible to do this?

My question may look somewhat similar for the ones already answered on different forums "how to capture high resolution screenshots of blender"; although I don't care about the user interface at all! What I want is only to create a screenshot of the 3D View itself with only a single object, that...

I am new to blender, and I have just created a island using ANT landscapes, and I have build two boats for this. Two boats on island They are in this place when I am in object mode, but when I render it they appear here: I check the position of where they end up, and it is both where they ...

I have so many books models to texture. Texturing them one by one will be a pain. Can Blender unwrap two (or more) seperate meshes and make them share the same UV grid?
