The Renderfarm

I have a student who is trying to bake her fluid, but it won't do it correctly. Below are the steps she told me she takes when she does it. I have no idea on how to fix it and I have been trying for days. Any help would be appreciated. I also included screen shots of what she does. "Before I ba...

This guy took a screenshot, pasted it to ms word and took a screenshot of that

I find that slightly hilarious

@X-27 yes, but it was stupid... i never finished'

@someonewithpc i find it slightly annoying and inefficient.

someonewithpc

@RadishoftheOpera Well, that too

Radish of the Opera

@someonewithpc it's also weird that he specified that it was his students project and not his

zeffii

radish. how do you know the 'teacher' is a he?

someonewithpc

@zeffii It's a "they"

zeffii

that screenshot is classic

noone that teaches blender should not be able to crop an image

someonewithpc

6:42 PM

@zeffii No one that teaches Blender should even think that that's a reasonable way to make a "screenshot"

Radish of the Opera

@zeffii genderless untill proven otherwise, but i'll refer to it as a he until then

zeffii

: )

someonewithpc

@RadishoftheOpera Use "they"

Radish of the Opera

maybe he got sent an email by the student with the shots and then coppied it into word for easier reading

someonewithpc

@RadishoftheOpera ....

Yah, that makes sense

@NoviceInDisguise @gandalf3 what node is that?

gandalf3

It's from the bwide nodepack

Radish of the Opera

oh... thanks..

@gandalf3 do you know of a node that targets vertexes and sharp edges? for procedural textures that would be helpfull.

gandalf3

The pointiness output of the geometry node sounds like what you want

A: Node for local mesh curvature

This feature was added recently and should be in 2.74. This attribute means how "pointy" the geometry surface is, which allows to do effects like dirt maps and wear-off effects on render geometry. This means the attribute is calculated for the final mesh which means no baking (which imp...

What do you guys use for a gif screen recording?

It would be really useful for me, on this question: blender.stackexchange.com/questions/32171/…

btw, I'm on linux

gandalf3

@TARDISMaker I use gifcam or licecap in wine

licecap doesn't do any dithering, but I've had some other issues with gifcam, so I tend to alternate between them

The licecap dithering problem is really annoying. So for anyone wanting to record high quality gifs with small filesize, try GifCam.

Q: placing .gifs in text

I have read how to post gifs on this site, but I can't get that to work for me. I tried using Gfycat and everytime I try and upload the images I get an error saying This isn't an animated gif, so I am wondering. How do you all out there record and save them? As I recorded it, used Premiere Pro to...

David

8:25 PM

well I just used all my flags on MSE for the day. (and that includes the extra for the 10+ helpful flags)

NoviceInDisguise

There is a limit? How many?

David

@NoviceInDisguise yep there sure is.

you start with 10 per day. Then you gain an extra flag for every 2000 reputation you have, also another flag for every 10 heplful flags.

NoviceInDisguise

Cool!

So I have 13, and then 8 for helpful flags

David

last there is a hard max of 100 per day

NoviceInDisguise

That is a lot

David

@NoviceInDisguise I refuse to confirm or deny any guess at my location to avoid a guessing game, however, I will deny it is that particular house... though I'd happily trade mine for it :D

@someonewithpc Hes (at least somewhat) wrong about me, I don't know where he placed NID

someonewithpc

@GiantCowFilms Again, yay..?

Does it matter?

GiantCowFilms

no

And I take that trade offer back...

someonewithpc

@GiantCowFilms Why?

GiantCowFilms

Zillow thinks that house is worth a little then half of mine, even though it is significantly bigger... XD who'd want property in salt lake city though...? I guess that explains the value....

@someonewithpc worth a pitance

Ouch housing market is down...

D:

not that I'm selling or buying XD
