The Renderfarm

D:

That would be horrifying XD

@David what did you change it from?

@David Have you seen stack egg yet?

2:22 AM

I think it said 2.73 before

ah\

ah

David

@GiantCowFilms 2.73a

@GiantCowFilms yes... you tried to get me to play this morning.

What you think of it...?

@GiantCowFilms It changed across all sites... I hope your not ruining my name XD

David

wast of time. I never liked those play by play games. click wait, click again repeat for ever.

lol

You didn't miss the flame war though, right...? that was also a waste of time but way more interesting

(not here in chat of course)

2:36 AM

@GiantCowFilms Here's the file: dropbox.com/s/znhzxwiojgmg5xj/track_expierment.avi?dl=0

Downloading....

Eeek that isn't going to track well

@gandalf3 How do you match the clip lenght again, I remember a way

@gandalf3 because its a flat plane I'm not sure you'll get a good solve...

@gandalf3 Got it

Managed to track the first bit quite nicely

@gandalf3 you there, here is my early test....

drive.google.com/file/d/0B7COjXcV31wmanI5UkUxNGRqMVU/…

What I did was use the detect features checkbox, set it to not be picky, tracked ahead until they all were off screen, the reapeted the process, this time tracking both backwards and forwards...

afterwards you can look for points with a high solve error, and delete them

BTW I don't know if it was for upload, but the compression was dreadful

anway, bye, I have to go now

@X-27 probably

5:11 AM

@gandalf3 try using Perspective as motion model (Tracking Settings->Motion Model) I find that for this kind of shots it gives you quite accurate results.

And set the Match to "keyframe"

Thanks

@GiantCowFilms I tried that, but the trackers tended to fail even before they got to the edge.. What tracking settings did you use? (search size etc?)

@cegaton I tried having largish perspective/affine markers (matching keyframe) on detailed spots during the translation bit, but they tended lose the track..

@GiantCowFilms After doing that I got a solve error of over 180.. Most markers didn't even display a solve error (?)

@GiantCowFilms Is there any difference between tracking forwards/backwards?

I tried putting some perspective markers on bits that where in the middle of the screen, tracking them forwards, going back, and tracking backwards

Maybe I imagined it, but I felt like they lost the track a lot more when going backwards..

@GiantCowFilms There's a "Set Scene Frames" button in tool shelf > track > clip

@gandalf3 I don't think for the tracking there is a difference going backwards. But I do remember running into issues on mp4 files that would decompress differently going backwards...

interesting

That shouldn't be a problem if the tracked bit is already prefetched though, right?

@GiantCowFilms Wow, that's so much better than anything I've even gotten a medium distance away from getting.. :P What was the solve error?

@GiantCowFilms What did I do wrong?

D: I got logged out again

@GiantCowFilms I had to go rather suddenly, sorry..

5:29 AM

@gandalf3 what are your camera and lens settings?

Everything default except for the focal length

camera?

Thought I'm not sure what the exact focal length was..

@cegaton The settings on the actual camera?

how did you shoot it?

camera sensor size and lens?

just a sec..

5:31 AM

Of the real-world camera I mean

Sensor size: 1/2.3"
focal length: not sure, I couldn't figure out how to get the camera to tell me something besides 1x zoom :/

It wasn't exactly 1x zoom, otherwise the focal length would be 25mm

I guessed at maybe 28mm or something

@cegaton ^^

There are a lot of good places to track , but in my experience you can't trust any automatic tracking there is quite a lot of babysitting to be done so the trackers stay where they belong

6:48 AM

@gandalf3

@cegaton ikr

I'm currently at 29

nice!

:P

the trickiest part are the tracking points that come in and out of frame and the ones that dissapear behind the prism

7:13 AM

@gandalf3 pasteall.org/blend/35348

good night!

thanks

11:13 AM

@GiantCowFilms I'm laying low, not doing much. Don't worry :D

1:55 PM

I got a score of over 5k on Google PacMaps :D

google.com/maps/@40.6744666,-73.9241796,17z

Use that map

2:07 PM

hello

Unihedro

Hiya Blenders!

You can use blender SSAO for border rendering

it's a hack but looks nice

Hey guys! @Vader That looks cool!

Freestyle should do that in the final render though

It that just a preview method?

Yeah

I was playing around with the AO that was just added. the DOF is a bit iffy

ah

2:13 PM

@gandalf3 I litterally just opened the clip with the defaults and tracked... the key is to put ALOT of points on there , maybe 25-40

The new 360* YouTube videos are amazing!

@GiantCowFilms 5070 ;D

Aww . ..

The 360* videos are cool, being able to look where you want makes it much more immersive

Chebhou

hi all , @GiantCowFilms what's 360 videos ?

(click and drag in the video box)

2:19 PM

7120

360 Degree Game Footage (BGE)

Use that link

huh?

Click and drag :D

@GiantCowFilms seen that

look at this one in chrome

You can look wherever you want

2:20 PM

Doesn't seem to work ;(

?

I am on Chrome

~~You using IE?~~

Oh sorry

Chebhou

is this a joke ?

Works for me

But in linux...

That one works in my browser

Cool!

Left click?

2:22 PM

Work on ubuntu

@Vader I'm on Xubuntu, so it should work....

Are you on chrome?

1 min ago, by someonewithpc

I am on Chrome

ah, okay

What version of Chrome?

2:23 PM

Works on Version 41.0.2272.101 (64-bit)

Version 41.0.2272.101 (64-bit)

:/

o.O

( . ) ( . )

No setting or something to change?

2:25 PM

I don't think so, it just works for me :P

do you not see controls in the top left?

Left for me

@Vader ... I totally see eyes there, you don't know me

Okay, If you say so :D

@Vader No

2:26 PM

That's not good

Have you tried turning chrome off and on again????/

@Vader ....

Really?

lol

Yay for Android!

It works on the app

:D

@GiantCowFilms I've managed to get it down to a 1.3

2:35 PM

Get what?

what?

we have an imposter!

@GiantCowFilms NoviceInDisguise?

Eh?

Good Disguise there

But not good enough

2:37 PM

pasteall.org/blend/35358

Yeah, rep

Exactly

@someonewithpc Nope

Confused yet?

He is now NoviceInARealDisguise

2:38 PM

@GiantCowFilms I wasn't talking to you you

?

To the fake GianCowFilms, you know you can only change your name every 30 days, right?

4 mins ago, by GiantCowFilms

Get what?

That's the fake

@Vader Unless you join a new site, I already have one lined up

the auto complete will ping both

@GiantCowFilms dammit, he knows

2:40 PM

:D

Which one are you gonna join?

wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.74/Modeling

We know have a proper edge split modifier

no need to break the mesh anymore

just like ngons this was long overdue

Yay!

3:49 PM

Sorry guys, this just isn't going to work. The animation plays way to fast, can hardly ready anything that is said.

If I re-render it again, It won't be done in time for today. :-(

:/

I'll try previewing the image sequence at a lower FPS, but It might not work... :*(

meant for 20 FPS, that was WAY too fast, Just tried 15 FPS, still too fast, now trying 10....

4:13 PM

Ok, re-rendering it (Again)

Let's hope the minor adjustments I just made helped it.

:D

the problem is, It probably will be playing too fast later on.

And I only made adjustments for the first 500 frames...

(There are 3100)

ouch

yah

It might not be ready in time....

But I have another surprise up my arm mounted storage compartment.

(sleeve)

:D

4:18 PM

not for april 1st...

lol

Which is in 4 Days !!! so I need to get busy!

also, Tell no one.!

:-)

ok

4:37 PM

I think that doing nothing makes you progress on the timeline faster, but I'm not sure

The stars have to be full though

Frame rate does

for me it caps at 60fps though, even when I want 120

6:33 PM

@X-27 how do I get nice lighting with shadows in my game?

@ARadish is someone framing me?

Who is the other @ARadish , causew this is the real one.

8:20 PM

@ARadish X-27 has been genetically mutated for the next few days. (for April 1st) You can get nice shadows using a setup like this.

(making example)

is that a good example?

One more thing, the three other sun lamps to cancel out the harsh shadows do NOT emit any shadow.

8:45 PM

nice!

How is it different from changing the shadow color . . ?

@ARadish

9:27 PM

New question-

0

Q: Change the default font

I have been playing with the settings for the text object recently, and every time I add a new text object, I need to change the font to my favorite one. (Eurostile LT ExtendedTwo) Is there any way to change the default font so I do not need to change it every time I add a new text object? Exam...

customization

I happen to think It is a relatively good one.

10:49 PM

@ARadish I'm too lazy for that :P
