@gandalf3 ....That glow.... not sure about it, and the arrows logo needs to be there too!

@gandalf3 If ya like, I can show you how to get google drive keys... all you need is a google account and a we bit of patience.

@gandalf3 You look on the page to see if they are being used....

NoviceInDisguise

00:30

@GiantCowFilms I was wondering if using the Blender logo as the browser window tab icon is considered fair use or not, would you get in trouble for that? I think somewhere on Blender.org there is a section on branding, just not sure what it says on it.

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise I've since changed it with one @gandalf3 made, chrome though is notorious for caching favicons.... so yours might have not updated

NoviceInDisguise

Ok, because it looks like it would be considered not fair use. Must have been cached, so handy and yet so annoying.

GiantCowFilms

my ISP caches my DNS zone file for hours, I make a change then wait wait wait, only to find I messed it up

NoviceInDisguise

:/ That is a serious pain. I can of course clear the cache, but then all of the other sites need to re-cache as well. Selective cache removal would be nice

Vince Scalia

@GiantCowFilms yeah it works now. didn't the first time. whats with that?

GiantCowFilms

00:39

@VinceScalia What did it do the first time

gandalf3

@GiantCowFilms But not if you start with the page.. That only works if you sift through and look at the blends on blend-exchange

Vince Scalia

@NoviceInDisguise I don't think there will be licensing problems as long as he keeps it associated with B.SE. we have all of the royalties already done.

NoviceInDisguise

@VinceScalia http://www.blender.org/about/logo/

gandalf3

@David o.O lol

You find all the funny coincidences :D

@GiantCowFilms Then I think you can remove the bit about it on the help page

@GiantCowFilms Ik, it disappeared for some reason, and I haven't looked at why yet.. It's an early test version ;)

Vince Scalia

@NoviceInDisguise I see

gandalf3

00:54

@GiantCowFilms I was thinking of making it look kinda glowy. I know it doesn't go with the whole current flat web 2.0 fashion, but we have a flat thing as the (I assume) default.. I wanted to make something besides just a flat version with dark colors

Heck, maybe some 3D transforms too ;)

/me just wants to use css3 eye-candy features

I'll try and avoid making it over-done and hokey though

NoviceInDisguise

That would be cool!

Vince Scalia

@gandalf3 Oh! and a 3D viral llama!

NoviceInDisguise

XD

I hovered over the link first to see where it went before clicking just to be safe :P

Vince Scalia

@NoviceInDisguise I'm not that mean.

NoviceInDisguise

Well . . . you talked about it

gandalf3

01:11

@VinceScalia Koro I assume?

Vince Scalia

@gandalf3 um... maybe. If I knew who Koro was...

NoviceInDisguise

@gandalf3 Is that the one from Caminandes?

gandalf3

yep

cloud.blender.org/open-movie/caminandes/assets#73

But it's *Caminandes

NoviceInDisguise

Just saw that :P

Must not have watched it recently enough

gandalf3

XD

A good disciple of the Suzanne must watch all the open movies once before breakfast ;)

NoviceInDisguise

01:19

Oh boy . . . I even think the Suzanne is creepy :P

Not going to be a good student any time soon . . .

gandalf3

lol

Vince Scalia

@NoviceInDisguise I'm rendering an animation, how do I make the background alpha transparent?

@gandalf3 ^^

?

gandalf3

Cycles or BI?

Cycles, enable Transparent in Render settings > Film

Bi, set Sky to transparent in Render settings

Vince Scalia

01:35

AO! thanks!

GiantCowFilms

01:47

@gandalf3 Yes, I do have a sift bot

gandalf3

I see

GiantCowFilms

@gandalf3 Here is the query

SELECT `blends`.`id`,`blends`.`fileName`,`blends`.`questionLink`,`accesses`.`val`,
SUM(`accesses`.`ref` != `blends`.`questionLink` AND `accesses`.`ref` != '') AS invalidRefs, SUM(`accesses`.`ref` = `blends`.`questionLink`) AS validRefs,
SUM(`accesses`.`ref` != `blends`.`questionLink` AND `accesses`.`ref` != '') - SUM(`accesses`.`ref` = `blends`.`questionLink`) AS refGap
FROM `blends`
JOIN `accesses` ON `accesses`.`fileId` = `blends`.`id` AND `accesses`.`type` = 'view'
WHERE `blends`.`valid`= 0
GROUP BY `blends`.`id`

So when I go to the admin console, It shows a list of suspect files

Although I need to upgrade it to avoid a simple method of tricking it.

And make it so that when I visit something from the admin page it also doesn't count as a ref

gandalf3

I was thinking of the manual flagging feature.. Not really sure how it's meant to be used

GiantCowFilms

@gandalf3 There is a manual flagging feature as well?

the flag button on the left of a blend download page

gandalf3

Yes

GiantCowFilms

01:52

@gandalf3 It does work, right?

gandalf3

I think so

GiantCowFilms

I've tested it before

gandalf3

The things I flagged are in your screenshot

GiantCowFilms

@gandalf3 Okay good, it works :D

gandalf3

But idk how people are supposed to find .blends which aren't on SE

GiantCowFilms

01:53

@gandalf3 I see, its more for if you do find one, only admin users are supposed to hunt for them

gandalf3

I see

GiantCowFilms

I'm imagining a situation where you see one on blender artists or here on chat, and then flag it

Also if you download a virus, spam or something that abuses copyright

gandalf3

Ahh, okay

GiantCowFilms

@gandalf3 If you want I was thinking of making a couple of users admins, although there really isn't much of a load, just a handful of blends a day

gandalf3

eeh.. I'm kinda busy now.. But thanks for the offer :) Perhaps in the future sometime

GiantCowFilms

01:57

@gandalf3 Yah sure, I don't need help yet anyway, more as a formality then anything

The only reason the list is so long is all the testing blends and the fact there is no way the handel the flags yet

@gandalf3 BTW, I've moved newTheme to master, so I'm working with that again

gandalf3

cool :D

BTW, could you ping me again? I want to test something..

GiantCowFilms

@gandalf3 Sure

@gandalf3 How many do you want

@gandalf3 This enough?

gandalf3

That's good, thanks

GiantCowFilms

@gandalf3 Sure you don't want more?

NoviceInDisguise

Be careful, there have been ping wars on here :P

gandalf3

02:08

lol

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise There have, why did I like so miss that

NoviceInDisguise

You were one of the main parties involved :P

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise Sarcasm detection score 0

NoviceInDisguise

It is harder when you are only using text . . .

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise what did you think my grammer is so bad I'd say 'like so miss'... ah probably did

NoviceInDisguise

02:11

No, I missed that :P

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise Prcicesly my point: Sarcasm detection score 0

NoviceInDisguise

Oh ok . . .

u win

gandalf3

Prcicelsy? :/

GiantCowFilms

@gandalf3 Spell checker didn't have anything better

gandalf3

Precisely :P

GiantCowFilms

02:50

@Leathe Hello... I don't believe I've chatted with you yet.

Leathe

hi. perhaps not

GiantCowFilms

No, I don't think so... I Redeemer you were here when the first few times I came to chat, but never spoke...

Leathe

yeah I was idle here a while back for quite a long time

I was more active at the start of the chat's creation

GiantCowFilms

@Leathe Isee

sorry, I had to go for a moment

Leathe

np, watching a movie :b

GiantCowFilms

03:10

@Leathe Watching an episode of Top Gear!

(on netflix... best find ever!)

iKlsR

@GiantCowFilms you just discovered TG?

GiantCowFilms

@iKlsR No, a place to watch it on the internet

iKlsR

@GiantCowFilms feature request, do you have a rest api for be?

dump the archive to json somewhere

GiantCowFilms

@iKlsR What archive?

iKlsR

file url, size, link

GiantCowFilms

you mean the .blends

iKlsR

03:39

ya

GiantCowFilms

No, the api consists of a very sensitive upload embed.... :P

iKlsR

you should make a page where these can be browsed, would make for some interesting downtime reading

pff

poor design then

GiantCowFilms

@iKlsR I do have such a page

..you just need the password

:P

iKlsR

like the new look

GiantCowFilms

@iKlsR @gandalf3's hard work

iKlsR

03:40

change the icon for the embedded image as well, the old one is thin and ugly

GiantCowFilms

...with my layot

iKlsR

GiantCowFilms

@iKlsR Right... I was hoping nobody would say that... :/ I will make changes..

iKlsR

lol

GiantCowFilms

@iKlsR Well its adobe anti-ailising so well... thats as sharp as it'll go with photoshop

@iKlsR Do you want to figure out how to add a rest api in php, go ahead:

github.com/GiantCowFilms/Blend-Exchange

iKlsR

03:42

@GiantCowFilms figure?

lol

that looks like vs

the project soln

GiantCowFilms

@iKlsR Have you... rest API's are very very hard in php

@iKlsR Its VS alright, with a PHP plugin

iKlsR

@GiantCowFilms can't you just grab a prewritten thing

GiantCowFilms

@iKlsR was this you: blend-exchange.giantcowfilms.com/b/59?

iKlsR

Composer is bound to host a few

@GiantCowFilms who knows

GiantCowFilms

@iKlsR I HATE COMPOSER

@iKlsR its not a crime.... I'm more curious

iKlsR

03:45

GiantCowFilms

Composer is awesome

Leathe

iKlsR

Keep Calm and start using Composer

@Leathe ur alive :O

GiantCowFilms

I hate it when an API requires composer.... its like DAhhh I just have a simple prject here and I don't want to have to install garbage on all my VMS, VPS's and my desktop

Leathe

03:47

it indeed has

iKlsR

@GiantCowFilms github.com/paypal/PayPal-PHP-SDK

Dunno, but having the page public can't do any harm

Later

@Leathe See you around bud, hope to see you here more

Leathe

I'll try, bye

GiantCowFilms

@iKlsR Have you ever tried using composer on Windows

@iKlsR I'm not big or fat, please...

my weight is sensitive because I'm so far in the other direction :P

@iKlsR I'm not lifting a finger until you can put in enough effort to write out please... Also you might have more luck no calling my Big Fat Cow, @I Know losing so real (Worst insult I could pull out of your name, admittedly a stretch...)

@iKlsR Whats that about?

iKlsR

lol

bfc pls

why did I come back

I should be working..

o/

GiantCowFilms

@iKlsR ARRRGGHHH!

Really

Now I'm not adding a Restful api even if you do all the work, won't even bother doing the merge...

gandalf3

09:19

wow, this looks amazing wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:LightBWK

gandalf3

09:35

:O First Unreal, now Unity! blendernation.com/2015/03/04/…

NoviceInDisguise

12:17

@gandalf3 :O . . . picks jaw up off from the floor . . .

gandalf3

Which one put it there?

NoviceInDisguise

The last one. Now I need to choose :/

gandalf3

lol

I wish they added native linux support..

@NoviceInDisguise...

Could you upload your .blend file to pasteall.org/blend? It would make it much easier to find out what is wrong. — NoviceInDisguise 1 min ago

...Blend-Exchange is stable now, ahem!

NoviceInDisguise

Ok

I can edit it still

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise :D

NoviceInDisguise

Link?

GiantCowFilms

[Blend-Exchange](http://blend-exchange.giantcowfilms.com)

@NoviceInDisguise There you go

NoviceInDisguise

Cool

GiantCowFilms

15:02

gotta have the http

@N

hmm

Blend-Exchange

NoviceInDisguise

Fixed it

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise thanks...

I'm going to move it out of alpha soon, which means way less breaks, since I'll realease much slower, and test better...

NoviceInDisguise

Nice!

NoviceInDisguise

15:36

I tried but when I hit "upload" nothing happens. Here is a stripped down version I put on my own server if you wanna have a look. hexagonsix.com/crap.blend — Galun 5 mins ago

You might want to look into that @GiantCowFilms :/

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise Shooot! but its working here, larger files can take a few minuets to move to google drive, which is what I think happened

NoviceInDisguise

Ah

Vince Scalia

15:55

!Unreal &Unity!

>:) both!

NoviceInDisguise

Crazy, isn't it? Do you think the unreal engine is better than Unity?

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise Or he clicked the upload button without dragging a file first

NoviceInDisguise

That could be it

GiantCowFilms

Best thing ever just happened to me! I kicked my computers cable!

Vince Scalia

@NoviceInDisguise if unreal is better, then its at least not as fast.

GiantCowFilms

16:01

@NoviceInDisguise @gandalf3 said that it could be confusing

Vince Scalia

@GiantCowFilms you must've had a very boring life.

NoviceInDisguise

Well maybe he has proof now :P

@VinceScalia XD

Vince Scalia

@GiantCowFilms I've had the same thing... that's not the problem. just.. nothing. even if theres a file in the box.

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise the file was 37MB! it wouldn't have fit on pasteall either

Vince Scalia

I had to reload the page and start over. (a serious waste of a good five seconds )

O.o

GiantCowFilms

16:04

@VinceScalia It takes a while for it to move to google drive

Vince Scalia

you know what we need?

a giant cannon that shoots anywhere in the USA that only launches thumb drives.

NoviceInDisguise

@GiantCowFilms OUCH! That is huge!

Vince Scalia

then we could share massive files ! Muhahahaa!

GiantCowFilms

16:16

Nobody should miss that again!

NoviceInDisguise

That should do the trick . . .

A: Moving a bone within weighted mesh?

Yes! you can move the bones within Edit Mode. this should keep all of you weight settings as long as you've already parented the mesh to the armature.

^^ is this right??? I actually don't know if it messes up weight paints or not.

Wandang

hello there

i love you guys

thanks to your dedication in teaching others i might be able to get my new job

@GiantCowFilms where can I access that service?

someonewithpc

19:09

@GiantCowFilms There's an inconsistency in the reported file sizes...

NoviceInDisguise

@Wandang You can visit it here.

Wandang

19:35

oh so this is a private site

not affiliated with SE

someonewithpc

@Wandang Not yet, at least

Wandang

@someonewithpc would be cool if it gets implemented since SE should have the storage (after the 46million $ boost)

someonewithpc

@Wandang Yeah, you would think that, but the implementation of chat in the mobile app... :P

Wandang

@someonewithpc hahaha i remember using mobile chat of arqade alot and it was a pain in the...

using it in the university lectures :P

someonewithpc

@Wandang It is...

I have to go now, I'll be back later, maybe

Wandang

19:50

oki i am going to play some dota, cya guys!

and girls

Vince Scalia

20:03

@Wandang um... bye?

GiantCowFilms

20:14

@Wandang I don't know if there are any females, here, kind of sad if you ask me... I wonder what caused such a gender gap...?

someonewithpc

@GiantCowFilms Yeah.. I don't know either, but I'd assume gender stereotypes

Q: Is it possible to copy text settings?

I want to change multiple text objects at once. Is there a way to copy the settings to all selected text objects?

text-object

Anyone know if this is possible ^

gandalf3

21:51

A bit of python is the catch-all answer, but there might be an easier way

Unfortunately RMB > copy to selected doesn't work on non-mesh datablocks (Result of some odd limitation IIRC, but I think there is a patch to fix it somewhere)

AttackingHobo

You would think that this would be built in.

Vince Scalia

@NoviceInDisguise I got the RTS working (almost) with the robots in it!

pasteall.org/blend/34829

@GiantCowFilms ^^

NoviceInDisguise

@VinceScalia Awesome! I'll have to check it out later :D
