Q: How could I set up a question that collects Blender+Python tutorials?

user89I know how to program somewhat well, but am completely new to Blender. I need to use Blender to generate some geometry, and had a bit of a tough time finding tutorials that give me the quickest (i.e. not the most in-depth) route to get going with some simple modelling using Python. This is some...

Please up vote answers that are correct and as long as they need to be, even if they are short e.g:

A: Get π in python scripted expression for a driver?

SixthOfFourpi or radians(180) should do the trick.

Have you guys seen this blender artists thread? really incredible work!
@GiantCowFilms Indeed
Even if I had, how would I be able to tell without clinking the link?
@someonewithpc That was the point... besides, would you recognize the link?
@GiantCowFilms It does have the tittle of the thread on the link itself, so maybe...
@someonewithpc Care for a game as soon as I get a server running?
I was gonna go for a snack, but sure
16:31
Okay :D
Running
@someonewithpc
okay :D
brb (breakfast)
@Vader does anybody know more about this valve and blender collaboration that Vander is/was sharing about ?
16:46
@Vader Yes...
17:33
How can I make the text a line over it?
strikethrough
@someonewithpc use two three dashes (---)
I tried that, didn't work...
@someonewithpc You mean here in chat?
Ended up using html tag
That is fine
17:39
No, in my latest answer (which you could upvote :P)
Then I only need to downvote something and will be at 2^11
@someonewithpc I UVed it! I've got a few resent ones you could return the favor on :D
2
A: How to snap the center of a face to another face center?

GiantCowFilmsYou can use Vertex Snapping. You can enable it by clicking on the magnet icon or If you wan't to use it temporarily, hold down Ctrl. I would recommend setting the second option to active: You use it by moving your object in edit mode Tab:

A: Where is the surface emission for materials to create a light source from a plane?

GiantCowFilmsCycles: Method 1: Set the render engine to cycles Go into the node editor Check Use Nodes Delete the Diffuse Node X Click images for larger versions Method 2: Set the render engine to cycles Go into the materials panel Click Use Nodes Change the Surface to Emission Internal: Check...

@someonewithpc Game?
Each upvote puts me further appart from having more rep than you D:
jk
@someonewithpc jk?
just kidding
@someonewithpc I'm starting to answer again cause the gap went < 1000
:D
LOL
jk (kind of)
17:42
@GiantCowFilms Oh really? :D
@someonewithpc Not really, I just saw I couple I could answer
@GiantCowFilms Have you played 2048?
@someonewithpc Yup, and beaten it
II know it's been a long time since it popped up, but still
@GiantCowFilms Using which algorithm?
@someonewithpc Don't know, the one on the windows 8 app store :P
17:44
There are three that I know of, 1 I discovered my slef
I mean for completing the game
@someonewithpc Really?
Wait you mean playing algorithms, not random choise!
@GiantCowFilms Yeah
I use the never ever go down one :D!
I also use the left right left right... until I get stuck to get started
@GiantCowFilms That's quite the opposite of mine, it seems... Mine envolved never going up
@someonewithpc :D
I know of four: don't go: up; left; right; or down!
17:46
The best one was to just make a "circle"
@someonewithpc ?
@GiantCowFilms Great!
@GiantCowFilms First you go left, then up, then right, then down, then left....... then win, then keep going!
@someonewithpc I keep messing up with my arrow keys :P
Test
Awww it removes white space D:
a

















b
now it doesn't :D
@someonewithpc If you go into fixed font mode, you can add newlines. Sadly in removes blank white space
a

This is cool
17:50
@GiantCowFilms I have no clue what that means, but you can just use Shift+Enter
Hi





Test
@someonewithpc Yes, use shift enter a few times then type
I kills the leading line breaks
@GiantCowFilms What is fixed font mode?
@someonewithpc Shift Enter
@GiantCowFilms Oh...
If you use shift + enter formating like ** wont work
@someonewithpc Game ?
I have a new map
17:52
@GiantCowFilms What?
*Hi*
@someonewithpc Try it
@GiantCowFilms oh yeah.. okay
@GiantCowFilms 1 only, gotta do some assignments...
@someonewithpc Okay :D
That's not new...
@someonewithpc You've played it?
17:53
Yes
I forgot :P
The game is way out of sink! Both you and I own the gigantic planet in the middle
@someonewithpc I noticed
What do you still own?
Nothing now
@someonewithpc ?
17:57
@GiantCowFilms Mis-click
@someonewithpc Ah ha!
@someonewithpc ?
@someonewithpc I see
I need a way to resync the game...
I think I see the bug.... If I take your planet before your moves gets to me, it will go outta sync
@GiantCowFilms Periodicly send packets confirming the expected situation
@someonewithpc Mabe...
I need to store the planets color changes ARRRRGGGG!!
@GiantCowFilms Array
@someonewithpc Yup... I use getters and setter, which are a pain to set up in JS
I do it for the ship values already
18:03
@GiantCowFilms can there be more than two people playing?
@someonewithpc Yes, as many as the map supports
In the case of my current maps, 3
@GiantCowFilms It wont work then...
@someonewithpc As many colors
My idea that is
@someonewithpc I can make a new map
You can too
Ill give you an example:
{
"name": "Planet Map One - Original",
"size": {
"x": "800",
"y": "500"
},
"planets": [{
"radius": "50",
"color": "#64cf22",
"x": "60",
"y": "75",
"startValue": "70"
},
{
"radius": "20",
"color": "#64cf22",
"x": "200",
"y": "100",
"startValue": "40"
},
{
"radius": "50",
"color": "#3fa6f3",
"x": "175",
"y": "375",
"startValue": "100"
},
{
"radius": "20",
"color": "#3fa6f3",
"x": "240",
"y": "240",
"startValue": "40"
},
{
"radius": "65",
"color": "#3fa6f3",
"x": "500",
"y": "80",
"startValue": "30"
That above one is unfair on red though.
18:33
I crashed PowerPoint... great!
@someonewithpc Oh boy! auto save to the rescue?
Didn't loose much
@someonewithpc Good to hear that
By the way, what was your idea?
that needed the multiple users?
@GiantCowFilms For your game?
@someonewithpc Yes
18:37
It needed to only have two players to work
@someonewithpc Okay...?
I can force it to only work with 2
Basicly, you could send the color for each planet in an integer, where each bit corresponds to a planet and each possiblt value (0 or 1) corresponds to a color
Just to compress the data
Oh, the data is pritty slim, the issue is a bug + slow network speeds to SanFran from your location.
@GiantCowFilms I am indeed far away, and my internet connection is not the best...
@someonewithpc Yes...
You need google fiber :P
18:43
WHERE DO I SIGN?
@someonewithpc ;D
Why are there two Kansas cities?
@someonewithpc is there no option to upgrade you internet there?
@GiantCowFilms There is, but I'm currently waiting untill the fiber is working...
I'm running on fiberoptic here.
18:45
25 secs ago, by someonewithpc
@GiantCowFilms There is, but I'm currently waiting untill the fiber is working...
@someonewithpc I'm on fiber, and I could, for not much upgrade to faster fiber
Not to brag :D
@GiantCowFilms Could we not talk about this? It's making me sad that I don't have proper intener connection...
@someonewithpc Okay.
Recently they dug up our cables.... I had to tether to a smartphone. THAT was slow
anyway!

@someonewithpc ?
I don't find that one to funny....
