Animation nodes are amazing :O

NoviceInDisguise

@gandalf3 I was looking at them, where can you download?

gandalf3

@NoviceInDisguise github.com/JacquesLucke/animation-nodes

NoviceInDisguise

Cool!

gandalf3

And blenderartists.org/forum/…

Cool, Gwenn is back :D

@gandalf3 @NoviceInDisguise I beat you :)

NoviceInDisguise

I commented first! You stole it :P

gandalf3

@David lol

I need to get used to my new mouse :P ;)

NoviceInDisguise

@David I was looking into alternate methods and making an advanced answer, when yours popped up, so I had to put mine up quick :P

David

@NoviceInDisguise not at all, I started writing the answer the moment the question popped up.

NoviceInDisguise

I should have used our <joking> HTML tags :P

David

8:22 PM

no need, I took it as a joke, but responded anyway.

NoviceInDisguise

Ok :)

gandalf3

starts rendering "advanced answer"

NoviceInDisguise

Go GIFCam!

:D

I sorta finished mine:

A: How do I make a Polygon Pattern in Blender?

You should use the Displace and Triangulate modifiers. Start by adding (Shift+A) and subdividing (W) a plane: Now add a Triangulate modifier, and then a Displace modifier. The triangulate modifier will make your mesh act as if it were created with triangular faces, and the Displace will move ...

Oh shoot! I hit the vote limit :P

David

@gandalf3 no fair, he accepted your answer (even though I was first) just because you used a sphere.

NoviceInDisguise

:O

gandalf3

8:26 PM

:P

I spent more time reading the question ;)

NoviceInDisguise

I should use a sphere too o.O

@gandalf3 lol

David

I even rendered it better

True..

^^

8:27 PM

But I used more samples :P

David

how many?

gandalf3

idk it was viewport render

But at least 100

David

that ^^ is 100

gandalf3

probably more like 200-300

@David o.O Why is it so noisy??

oh

NoviceInDisguise

Bad lighting

gandalf3

8:28 PM

Your image didn't load

David

?? idk should I ask a question? :)

gandalf3

idk

The one you posted in chat looks less noisy

NoviceInDisguise

idk either

idtabk

I think we helped the answer ratio, anyways

Is there any other way I wonder . . .

David

ok edited my answer

@NoviceInDisguise why did you just not use a grid?

NoviceInDisguise

?

IDK

David

8:34 PM

add a plane, then sub divide

NoviceInDisguise

I like planes?

IDK

Dumb, really

David

instead just add grid

NoviceInDisguise

A grid would have been much better, IK

I'll update it :P

David

Nearly every blender tut out there uses a plane, then sub divide, the gird is just forgotten.

NoviceInDisguise

IKR, maybe because the plane is so handily at the top

gandalf3

8:39 PM

@David ikr

David

but you went and subdivided the grid anyway, so what was the point?

NoviceInDisguise

Although it is a GRID not a gird XD

@David Not enough subdivisions

gandalf3

@NoviceInDisguise There is an option in the redo panel

David

that is what the options are for

gandalf3

lol

NoviceInDisguise

8:40 PM

@gandalf3 in the redo panel?

why would it be there?

David

F6

gandalf3

Because thats where redo options normally are..?

Just like when adding a UV sphere etc.

NoviceInDisguise

Wait, redo what?

I'm confused

gandalf3

The panel at the bottom of the tool shelf, or F6

NoviceInDisguise

@gandalf3 I added the grid, and then subdivided. I had not performed those actions yet

David

8:42 PM

NoviceInDisguise

THAT is what I was looking for, wonder how I missed it

:P

gandalf3

:P

David

@NoviceInDisguise you do know you can change the number of rings in a circle etc.

NoviceInDisguise

Yes, yes, I just didn't look for it on a grid, it didn't even occur to me

I normally edit all my meshes when I add them, so I don't know why I didn't try it that time :P

David

all primitives have settings (even the plane)

NoviceInDisguise

8:46 PM

IK

You should have said even the Suzzanne though

David

that too

gandalf3

Why is this being closed as a duplicate of this??

@NoviceInDisguise Why does everie1 speel eet as "soozzannee"??

NoviceInDisguise

Whoa!

gandalf3

:P

NoviceInDisguise

@gandalf3 That is not the question I tried to close it as Dup of

David

this is blender mathutils Vector class question. — mifth 8 mins ago

Does blender have it's own mathutils module?

I thought it was something from standard python..

NoviceInDisguise

@gandalf3 Eh?

gandalf3

I starred my own post

NoviceInDisguise

9:05 PM

You can?!

David

there is a trick room owners can do

gandalf3

^^

If you pin your post and unpin it, it'll leave the star

NoviceInDisguise

Interesting!

gandalf3

Unfortunately it seems like I'm the only one who likes the new theme better..

NoviceInDisguise

I like the icons when you are making a new question/answer, much nicer. I think I'm getting used to it now . . .

I'm gonna get another gold badge soon :D

@GiantCowFilms Don't know about the others but I read chat, I just choose not to come here because I have more important things to do than sit in a room and talk about random crap for hours.

That reminds me, maybe we should schedule another mass cleanup thing

A Radish

we Have a problem. no capchta box appears for the human verification. I had to whack it to get by. Soooo annoying.

gandalf3

@ARadish It worked for me

Just a few minutes ago

Do you have some scripts disabled or something?

A Radish

@gandalf3 I don't know if it's my service or what, but I severely screwed it trying to post an answer.

@gandalf3 Not that I know of, I tried 3 browsers. didn't work on any.

gandalf3

@iKlsR Last time we did it I think we had like an hour long event everyone tried to show up, then an on-going thing where people just did random cleaning on their own or in smaller groups

@ARadish huh

someonewithpc

@ARadish That's intentional - it's called reCAPTCHA No Captcha google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html

gandalf3

9:38 PM

I noticed it was different, it just had me click a box instead of trying to parse all those typographic nightmares..

someonewithpc

@gandalf3 That's been that way for a good while now

A Radish

@gandalf3 so if I'm not around a lot, that's why, cause I can't do crap with all the weird hacks that've been going on lately.

gandalf3

@someonewithpc I must not have had it pop up for a while then :P

A Radish

My internet can't even upload pictures anymore... :(

someonewithpc

@gandalf3 I think I only saw it once, too

gandalf3

9:40 PM

@ARadish When does it appear? For me it only ever shows up if something happens to my connection while editing/writing a post. And even then only sometimes

someonewithpc

@ARadish Why?

A Radish

9:55 PM

@gandalf3 every time.

@someonewithpc because NSA or someone turned my PC to $#!? and it's pissing me off. :(

someonewithpc

@ARadish Use a proxy, maybe?

A Radish

Maybe if I knew what a proxy was.

This isn't what I do. I don't do internet stuff.

Q: Invisible Physics to Certain Objects in the BGE

I'm making a first person view game. I have an invisible collision body that I use for interaction with other objects. I have it so that the player can "shoot" cubes. How ever, if the player looks down and tries to shoot (for example if an enemy is coming close) the bullet gets bounced off the...

@ARadish Instead of connecting to any server, you connect to the proxy, thereby bypassing any restriction on access

Proxy server

In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application) that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource available from a different server and the proxy server evaluates the request as a way to simplify and control its complexity. Proxies were invented to add structure and encapsulation to distributed systems. Today, most proxies are web proxies, facilitating access to content on the World Wide Web and...

A: Python: Methods to multiply/divide vectors

Even though it might seem to be an off-topic question, I think this should be answered.

A: Why does textures work with the default cube, but not with any new cube I add?

Okay, here's how we unwrap a cube so that we don't get any whonky image output when we view the image mapped onto it. Option A Go into edit mode, select the entire mesh, and then hit U > Cube projection. This is what to do if you want the same texture on every face, which is what I assume you...
