We should definitely standardize how we want to handle file-extension tags, because there's already been some confusion. Should we have: .svg or svg? .stl or stl? .blend-files or blend-files? etc... This is closely related to the blend-files/.blend-files synonym request, but I think we shoul...

There are a few tags floating around such as unity, makehuman and yafaray. How should we deal with tags like these that are valid but about other packages?

Sometimes questions which seem overly simple are downvoted, such as How do I select an object in the 3D viewport? and How to retrieve the objects of a group. While answers to these questions can most likely be found very easily if the OP knew where to look, or knew what keywords to put in a sear...

If somebody knows: when we pick two points on UV image and search for shortest way in 3D, than return selection of shortest path to UV, we have problem, that selected vertices not only from initial island, but also all vertices that share same points in 3D mesh. So, question to deselect other isl...

First I did a quick Google image search using the key words "map of Earth" then copied one that was in square format. Second, I added a UV Sphere then unwrapped it with the following settings. I then drag and dropped the image from the hard drive folder into the UV image Editor and scaled th...

(skip this first paragraph to get straight to the question) I have been attempting to augment my workflow in a little-known game engine for a game called "Natural Selection 2", and my plan is to be able to Ctrl+C from the level editor, run a script in Blender to import the data, then be able to r...

This one has me really puzzled. I'm trying to use the ctypes library to write binary data to the windows clipboard from within Blender. And it works! Erm... sort of. For some reason, the code fails in one way or another UNLESS I have some random "print" statements scattered between certain st...

I had create a dice model and added two materials to it: black and orange. When I export my file to .obj and open it in different software I see only grey dice. What I am doing wrong? This is my .mtl file content: newmtl Material.001 Ns 96.078431 Ka 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 Kd 0.640000 0.640...

I've been doing a lot of tracking/stabilizing lately and I've come across what seems to be a bug. Whenever I work on a setting up track points, after a certain amount of time, 2d stabilization ceases to work. It's an intermittent problem, that is, if I start a new file and only track a point or t...

I'm making a video with Blender's video editing feature, and I was wondering if blender lets you listen to a sound file while its in the file browser, before you insert it into the sequencer.

I'm using Blender 2.7 and new to the whole thing (Blender is immensely brain intensive) and I have managed to produce I model I like. My next step is to put a shell around it, then slice it in half to make a mould but the boolean stuff I did didn't want to work as expected so I tried some slicing...

*Note- I'm a noob at Blender. I apologize in advance for my noobishness, and please explain things thoroughly for me. This is a model I have imported from MakeHuman (the official release, not nightly), and rendered in Cycles. I have followed a tutorial online to procure a solution to the "all-...
