Q: Material not displaying on array objects

Qwertie ϟI have set up my material in the node editor and it showed up fine but when I duplicated it with a array modifier the second object created with the array has no material attached to it Here is my node set-up Both objects display the same in material view Why is this?

@gandalf we can close the unicorn primitive question if people really want, but I'm not clear on what good that would do...
what do you think?
@Sintel Anyone know how to fix this?
hmmm...let me take a look
@Qwertieϟ that's a Gandalf question
sorry
:)
Its seems like something so simple but I cant fix it DX
I have the same feeling SO often!
I just added an "array" tag to your question...idk if that helps any

Q: Is it possible model a perspective image in orthographic view

simonI am new to blender and I am not clear that is it possible to model a perspective image in orthographic view because I never succeeded whenever I tried but I could see tutorials put up modeling a perspective image in orthographic view. I am not sure whether the image is perspective or orthographi...

Q: How to display section of a torus only

clampI have a torus object from which i only want to see a certain section? like a quarter of a ring. the section should be an arbitrary given angle and should be changeable later on.

08:22
My web server just took a very minor attack :/

Q: Is it possible to get back to `Add mode`?

clampAfter for example a Torus has been added, you can specify major segments, minor segments, radii, etc. After some clicking around i cant seem to get back to these settings anymore. is it possible? if so, how?

09:09
@Qwertieϟ Nice! Good to know!
@ThomBlairIII XD when I read that I thought you were replying to my latest message
XD
nope...what kind of attack was it?
@ThomBlairIII Someone tried to access databases but there were none to access
wow...
I've had the same problem with my mac...
Lots of requests for files like phpmyadmin/setup.php
09:15
when I leave my computer running with a security program logging attempted entries,
none of the files requested existed
sometimes I get hundreds per minute
@ThomBlairIII You should probably factory reset
what would that do?
@ThomBlairIII If you have a virus it would remove it
Does it happen even with no internet connecton?
09:16
no, only when I was in certain places on certain occasions
thankfully
@ThomBlairIII Ok dont reset then
What is it trying to access?
I can't remember...
it's been so long ago...
I've since stopped trying to log them all
I'm making website templates so I can sell them for $5
09:22
neat!
where would you sell them?
that's pretty neat!
Lots of people with lots of talent
I knew someone that made $75 in a week making bad logos in photoshop
Like 8mins of work per logo
huh, amazing!
well, if people get what they want, that seems good!
I used to sell candy in school at lunch when I was in 6th grade or so
I made a lot of money compared to how much I spent
@ThomBlairIII There are a lot of people doing things like 3D renders
09:28
until the principal saw me and then he said I had to stop
@Qwertieϟ that's neat!
I'd bet you could make a lot of money doing stuff like that
@ThomBlairIII XD
if you like what you're doing, then that's even better!! the fun of doing it becomes prize enough!
Im not good enough at blender yet to sell things
I know the feeling
I'm not sure $5 is enough to make something complicated
But that book one seems easy
09:31
?? what book one?
oh yeah, that'd be super easy!!
that's the kind of thing that'd be very easy to do in your spare time, or even maybe automate
Just make a book and stick a cover on it. And you only need to make the book once
maybe you could make a website that'd allow the user to do it for themselves!
@ThomBlairIII "Pay $5 extra and have it done in 3 minutes"
09:34
XD
@Qwertieϟ i don't think that'd be a good idea....what if you were at dinner and they said "I want it NOW!"
oh, unless you had it automated
@ThomBlairIII But its automated
:)
They dont know that
yeah, I thought you were talking about just doing it in your spare time
A lot of the things on there are pre made. They just put your image on there, I could do that.
yeah, that'd be neat too!
what about greeting cards, birthday cards or celebration cards where they get to specify the text?
you could make a set background animation or still for a birthday picture or animation, then let them type in the text to have
You could just use blenders built in text objects. Easy $5
Time to start making birthday cards
09:47
yeah, and if you can figure out how to automate it, you'd be doing nothing once it was made, except just sitting back and making even new animations & stuff for new options on your site!
you could deliver them as ecards...they type in their email address & it sends the render to the person
or maybe you even automatically upload the animation to youtube for them & then email out the link to the animation
Gets home, checks render que. 500
but if you're rendering animations, that might be too hard if your computer is too slow & you have too many to do
@Qwertieϟ yeah, exactly!
still images would be the way to go
Builds render farm .... PROFIT!
Blender seems easer then building websites
09:57
well, that might be a good indication of which direction to go
go with the flow!
10:09
getting closer
automated tables!
:D
You Choose the Length & Width
$5 Per Extra Leg!

Q: Recommended settings for the magic unicorn primitive?

CoDEmanXI'm having trouble to figure out meaningful parameter settings for the unicorn primitive operator. It's mainly about the hoofs: should I make them two-toed or four? Is a head-to-toe ratio of 3:1 realistic? there is no option to add nail polish, can anyone share a node setup for pink glitter, b...

Q: Button to insert <kbd></kbd> for users with moderator rights?

Is there a way to add it? Or is it solely managed by SE? UX has a unique wireframe-editor butto...
