Q: Can we rename 'builds' to 'versions'?

gandalf3A while ago I suggested a versions tag. The idea seemed to be agreed with, but it was decided to merge it with the existing builds tag. I agree that the tags overlap to the point of being the same thing and should be one tag, however I think versions would be a better name, simply because build...

13:56
OK, how many people here made a game to shoot down santa's sleigh?

Should we change the deadline for the competition?

Q: Mechanics - Challenge #3

NoviceInDisguiseContest: Mechanics 3D artists always enjoy rendering impressive, shiny machines, from robots to complex vehicles. But often times they wouldn't work in the real world. Objective: Create a machine that is mechanically functional. You can use any method you want, as long as you use Blender for...

14:13
@X-27 If you aim into the sky instead of another planet, you can hit santa, the problem is that it doesn't knock the slay out of the sky
@X-27 @someonewithpc @gandalf3 Nobody has a question in need of a bounty?
@GiantCowFilms Nope, sorry :-(
@NoviceInDisguise Okay, not to worry
@GiantCowFilms Lucky for you i had an old FPS project I christmasatized this morning
:-)
you'll see
:D
I wan't to go on stack overflow and ask if sanata ia real :D
LOL
I cant figure out a way to make fire/smoke fade out on a no collision plane without animating the texture.
14:21
@X-27 Ask it as a question... I've forgot most of my blender interal tricks
doesnt matter That much, after all no one will make a fuss over fire coming off of santa's slegh that doesn't fade out.
okay
poor santa
:-)
well, he isnt exactly in the slegh
nor his raindeer
for two reasons
he is using jet powered drones now.
And- i didnt want to sculpt, remesh, rig, and animate raindeer
so his sleigh is un-maned and jet powered
:-)
Poor santa's slegh. I am trying to make the crashing effect look cool so every time i push my testing button, Down goes santa's slegh.
14:36
Show us when you're done, I neeed a break from wrangling dumb templating engines (Its for the planet game...)
sure
you should like it :-)
alright, dust storm appon hitting ground- Done
now i get to make the engines burn when they drop below 10 health
What Fun!
15:36
Make sure the have it dropping presnanats as it flighs over

Progress on final version of planet game: I can now ready 2(I have no idea why only 2) users from that database and put them on a page. 3 breaks the entire thing.... this is taking a long time. D:
17:39
Now I can read 0... at least I know why it was only 2 :P
18:13
Whew! went within 2 gigs of using all my ram, wich would have killed my machine
19:11
@GiantCowFilms You can always put a bounty on an answered question to reward a good answer

20:50
@gandalf3 Any in mind?
Idk.. There are plenty around here

A: Twist rope around an object

Leon CheungThis specific structure is a bit complicated by using normal methods, such as other guys suggested, However, you can do it quite well by a combination of a few modifiers: Create the unit model for half round of the bandage; Subdivide, tweak position of each vertex; Model the other half round of...

e.g. that one ^^
But it's your bounty ;) You pick one
@gandalf3 you can suggest one of our own as well, even one of your won questions. :D

22:43
anybody have a guess as to why this answer was down voted?
22:57
@GiantCowFilms After a bunch of sugar, presents and visiting relatives, it is back to santa's slegh.
:-)
:D
Whew... still havn't wrangled my database, but I did get a new hat.
COngrats :-)
:D
Wan't to play a game?
the fire from the burning engines looks really cool, but once the sleigh crashes the fire looks like rotten garbage
@X-27 More particles...
always more particles
always
particles
BOOM
(Quels inner digital pyromaniac)
@X-27 Game :D?
23:11
Boom is a must
I'm relaxing a bit before going into battle with some CSS
i will definitively make his sleigh explode with a glorious blast wave after it's health reaches 0
@X-27 Yes.
and sparks
pritty big showers of sparks
more particles
yah
bigger booms
23:13
and presents
@X-27 burning ones, mha ha ha ha
scrap the sparks and explosion, it will just be a nuclear blast
:-)
@X-27 Nooo
lol
ok,ok
awesome explosen
Expotions must be final tuned pices of artworks
The qulity of explotions can make or break a film.
or game for that matter
23:14
good point... where am i going to get an epic explosen?
@X-27 Game .. yes or no?
sure
quick game :-)
@X-27 join at will

It didn't work for me

23:15
oh,ok
No my planets, I forgot to update the maop :P
LOL you still haven't fixed that map?
maybe we can play later, must eat dinner now
@X-27 Yes, it still isn't fixied, I have to move the map from to repo
will be back soon
@X-27 Okay
23:34
dinner done, trying to find an epic explosion for santa....
@X-27 Okay
CSS defeated... although I did have to change the markup
Sometimes one has to resort to desparate tacktics
23:46
Any idea how to get a .mov to play in the game engine?
i found a perfect explosion
@X-27 Do you know how to play it in BI?
I think so, been a while though.
I see.
try and if it fails I can show you
Game

Have alpha working.. but animation wont play
BGE treats is like it is an image texture.
