GiantCowFilms

after 20 min XD

Radish of the Opera

16:05

my fav in a long time

that guy really know texturing

NoviceInDisguise

Yeah!

I have that many vertices in one tire . . .

GiantCowFilms

@RadishoftheOpera No spec maps though

killing me

NoviceInDisguise

Yeah

Too glossy

GiantCowFilms

Much to glossy

and too sharp to

NoviceInDisguise

Yeah :/

Radish of the Opera

16:09

did you wait for the textures to load?

NoviceInDisguise

Yeah

Too glossy

GiantCowFilms

@RadishoftheOpera Yeah

Radish of the Opera

for it's poly count I think it was good.

and SketchFab isn't the best with spec maps

GiantCowFilms

Spec map needed, esp for low poly

NoviceInDisguise

The spec maps are what makes it come down a bit

@GiantCowFilms Absolutely agree

Radish of the Opera

16:11

the problem I found was the random floaty thing hovering near the middle guys eyes

NoviceInDisguise

That is annoying . . .

Radish of the Opera

it appears to be a texture...

NoviceInDisguise

lol

GiantCowFilms

@RadishoftheOpera How'd you steal the texture map?

Radish of the Opera

@GiantCowFilms right off the bodies. :O

NoviceInDisguise

16:13

That is on that weird floaty thing

Radish of the Opera

what I would give to be able to draw textures like that.

GiantCowFilms

They don't look that difficult.....

Radish of the Opera

but I can't even do anything close, I don't even know where to start.

NoviceInDisguise

Start by making crappy textures

Radish of the Opera

maybe I need one of those draw-y things for computers, like the mouse pads that you can use a pen on and it shows up on the screen... cause I can draw fine with a pencil, just not a mouse.

GiantCowFilms

16:16

All he did there was use some textured brushes and about 8 or 10 colors (2-3 variations of green, gold etc) and created some surfaces.

NoviceInDisguise

yep

GiantCowFilms

@RadishoftheOpera I can draw with a pencil but not one of those drawy things

Radish of the Opera

really?

GiantCowFilms

@RadishoftheOpera Yup

Radish of the Opera

whats the difference in dynamic?

seems like the same to me

GiantCowFilms

16:17

I think its because the one I have was cheap, and doesn't have very good control

Radish of the Opera

maybe I could print a UV map and hand paint it.

GiantCowFilms

But not looking where you are drawing is the death of me

@RadishoftheOpera They used to do that back in the day :D

Radish of the Opera

@GiantCowFilms is hard...

GiantCowFilms

For Jar Jar binks on star-wars they color and shape scanned a fully painted sculpture

Radish of the Opera

maybe I could rig my tablet so I could look at what I was doing

@GiantCowFilms and it turned out beautifully.

GiantCowFilms

16:20

@RadishoftheOpera Yah, lol, paint it white and buy a projector

Radish of the Opera

the only problem would be edge coherence, I would have to unwrap really well.

@GiantCowFilms ?

like if I could use my tablet to control texture painting in blender

i think i'll hand paint them, sounds easier and more fun.

zeffii

i can't remember a single thing of Starwars with jarjar

except that he was in it, and he was annoying.

NoviceInDisguise

I never watched star wars

zeffii

how is that even possible.

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise Why!!!!!!!?

NoviceInDisguise

16:26

I don't watch most movies. I very rarely watch anything

I sometimes watch VFX breakdowns, but that is it.

GiantCowFilms

I know but those are classics!

NoviceInDisguise

ILM has a bunch of good ones

@GiantCowFilms Don't call them that!

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise Watch all of them in the 301+ view state

NoviceInDisguise

I hate classics

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise Classic movies are great! Lawrence of Arabia, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Casablanca, E.T., Forrest Gump

So many of my favorite movies

NoviceInDisguise

16:28

Depends who is defining what a classic is . . .

GiantCowFilms

Citizen Kane was lame though

@NoviceInDisguise Movies that are still famous many years later, and had I defining role in cinema

NoviceInDisguise

My parents are the ones generally who say "lets watch ______, it's a classic!"

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise What are their choices

NoviceInDisguise

Then I am bored

@GiantCowFilms Choices?

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise Our neighbor told us to watch American Graffiti, Its a classic directed by George Lucas... lol boring as heck

@NoviceInDisguise What movies do they think are classics

NoviceInDisguise

16:30

Things like really old . . . Princess Bride (yick)

Star Trek (the original) is decent

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise Some old movies are good

NoviceInDisguise

Some

Man my machine is slow . . . rendering on 4 CPU cores, and on GPU . . .

zeffii

Lord of the Flies

GiantCowFilms

After recommending American Graffiti, our neighbor recommended Airplane. Lets just say that was not boring, @RadishoftheOpera would have liked it

zeffii

Flight of the Navigator

GiantCowFilms

16:32

@zeffii Yes, best movie eveeeeeer

zeffii

NoviceInDisguise

Never saw any of those

We also don't have a movie theater nearby

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise Oh wow

zeffii

Novice, are you in Amish country?

NoviceInDisguise

So we have to buy them

@zeffii lol

GiantCowFilms

16:33

We have three or four large ones in 20 minutes driving

And a real genuine I Max (I Puke) theater as well

NoviceInDisguise

THere is a nice big one about one hour and 20 minutes away . . .

zeffii

NoviceInDisguise

I have never been to one :)

zeffii

NoviceInDisguise

Nope

GiantCowFilms

16:34

@NoviceInDisguise That is far

NoviceInDisguise

Been to a concert, that is it

zeffii

you know there's this thing called 'electricity' right?

NoviceInDisguise

three I guess

@zeffii Yeah :D

We are on the grid

GiantCowFilms

You live out there!

zeffii

NoviceInDisguise

16:35

lol

GiantCowFilms

Wow

zeffii

GiantCowFilms

GiantCowFilms

Man that thing was huge

NoviceInDisguise

16:36

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise I can walk to a Dair Queen

NoviceInDisguise

:(

zeffii

NID, i think you'd like ET the movie

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise We don't go to it much because the Puke bit works

NoviceInDisguise

I can walk to the woods and do whatever

@GiantCowFilms lol

@zeffii ET?

GiantCowFilms

16:37

@NoviceInDisguise imdb.com/title/tt0083866

Really a worthwhile watch

zeffii

the Extra Testicle

*Terrestrial

NoviceInDisguise

:P

GiantCowFilms

@zeffii Uranus

;D

zeffii

oooh, those words are OK?

NoviceInDisguise

Um . . .

zeffii

16:38

hahaha

GiantCowFilms

@zeffii You got the reference to the movie right ;D

zeffii

some of my all time favourite swearing happens in ET

GiantCowFilms

@zeffii Nope... The t word is not

Using a planets name in that context is border line

NoviceInDisguise

yeah

zeffii

Eliot definitely has a motormouth ;)

NoviceInDisguise

16:40

@GiantCowFilms T word . . . i might not know it! Don't educate me please

GiantCowFilms

I couldn't help myself because they used that joke in the movie

@NoviceInDisguise @zeffii just used it

NoviceInDisguise

oh

yeah

:P

GiantCowFilms

Don't worry though, it is a good movie

:D

zeffii

hey, I though we agreed that words have context... just like you can't live without water, but you can drown in it, or drink too much of it and develop swollen brain Hydrocephalus

NoviceInDisguise

lol

Some words though . . .

GiantCowFilms

16:43

@zeffii I know, I abused context

zeffii

yeah ET is definitely not about the swearing. pretty wholesome as far as movies go

GiantCowFilms

@zeffii agreed

zeffii

Flight of the Navigator was awesome.

GiantCowFilms

XD

zeffii

FNAV > TRON

GiantCowFilms

16:46

I like serious or outrageously funny movies

Like the Gremlins

zeffii

it's been a while since I seen it

GiantCowFilms

Esp the microwave scene

@X-27 would go to heaven watching that

zeffii

Goonies

GiantCowFilms

@zeffii One of the few movies I only got to watch a bit of

zeffii

why?

certainly not due to its content..i'm sure

Batteries not Included, Short Circuit

GiantCowFilms

16:50

Oh wow! the nearest movie theater is a 11 screen one, only 0.6 miles away!

@zeffii Oh, social event

the decided to play the movie, but then paid no attention and made it unwatchable

In that case the content of the movie was cleaner then the conversation :/ first and last time I ever hung out with them.....

zeffii

out of interest, Earth, 6k or billions of years

GiantCowFilms

@zeffii Lets not go there.... I don't want to stat a belief fight, but I'm in the billions club.

zeffii

it's not a fight brother.

that's one question I like to know where people stand.

seen this latest Dallas police thing

c r a z y.

GiantCowFilms

Oh wow

zeffii

17:10

can't wait to finish, so to apply textures

NoviceInDisguise

@zeffii k

gandalf3

@GiantCowFilms The only thing I found was an operator called "add named object" which just says "object not found" when run.

TARDIS Maker

19:00

@GiantCowFilms adaptivesamples.com/2013/09/07/batch-renamer

Sadly, I don't think there's a hotkey for it, but I doubt it would be hard to add.

Or was it @gandalf3 who wanted that? I can't remember now :)

gandalf3

It was @GiantCow

But I wouldn't be opposed to a way to rename objects with a hotkey ;)

TARDIS Maker

19:40

I wouldn't either. I'll have to look through that addon, and first, see if it still works with 2.74 (It probably still will), and then, see if it's possible to make it pop up using a hotkey.

gandalf3

@GiantCowFilms Can people still create accounts on blendexchange?

zeffii

who is this Alex in our chat

NoviceInDisguise

IDK, just been hanging there for a few days

zeffii

it's weird also BSE is a complete saucage fest... only about 5 or so ladies

TARDIS Maker

20:06

@Alex apears to be more of a stack overflow person.

here's her(?) profile: communitybuilding.stackexchange.com/users/309/alex

They've hung around here for a while

stacker

21:28

@GiantCowFilms Nope, why do need this?

gandalf3

21:39

Why wouldn't you need this? ;)

Radish of the Opera

21:56

@NoviceInDisguise movies that are a large part of culture now.

@GiantCowFilms as a matter of fact i didn't enjoy it... Thanks, but i'm really not that creepy and gross.

but i do have numb hands from handling a weed-whacker all day... makes it hard to type :P

GiantCowFilms

@gandalf3 Okay, thanks

@gandalf3 Yes /register

it should work

If you want me to attach blender files, just ping me, with an example.

Also tell me if you IP address changes often, since I keep the uploader's ip hash which will allow me to make the change with one query

NoviceInDisguise

22:12

So you know where they all are then . . .

Which lake is @X-27 in?

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise The hash

Only the NSA could crack those

(but I'm pretty sure it gets the information way before me code)

Who thinks this is the better answer:

A: How do I create a teardrop in HTML?

Basic Border-Radius You can do this within CSS relatively easily using border-radius' and transforms. Your CSS was just a little bit out. .tear { width: 50px; height: 50px; border-radius: 0 50% 50% 50%; border: 3px solid black; transform: rotate(45deg); margin-top: 20px; }

@stacker I wanted to add it to blender as my first commit/edit source project, I wanted to make sure I wasn't redoing an existing feature

Radish of the Opera

@GiantCowFilms i don't HTML, but if it has 100 votes, it's probably better.

NoviceInDisguise

22:30

@GiantCowFilms Ah

The inline SVG function looks pretty cool tho

NoviceInDisguise

22:49

New question:

Q: Is it possible to select multiple objects based on mesh and not origin?

Every now and then I will stumble across this issue when making instanced objects in a circular rotation pattern. The origins will be at the center of the arc, while the actual meshes will be a large distance away from the origin. I will then add more objects with identically positioned origins i...

Any ideas?

Radish of the Opera

23:04

@NoviceInDisguise a compass and a whatnow?

NoviceInDisguise

23:45

@RadishoftheOpera Eh?

Oh yes, I did add a compass to the watch
