@NoviceInDisguise O.o why is it exploding?

NoviceInDisguise

lol

Radish of the Opera

NoviceInDisguise

THat is just some basic post pro because it was boring otherwise. Working on final render lighting and background

@RadishoftheOpera Noice!

Radish of the Opera

i've had no projects in sooo long!!! i got so bored i did the lamp next to my PC

NoviceInDisguise

Much better than nothing

Radish of the Opera

00:11

but i can't texture it

NoviceInDisguise

I'm trying to learn some lighting skills and work on a portfolio

@RadishoftheOpera Procedural man, my entire watch (even carbon fiber) is procedural

Radish of the Opera

@NoviceInDisguise but where di you learn to do that?

and wouldn't all the metal in the watch mess with the compass?

NoviceInDisguise

Trial and error, mostly error :P

Radish of the Opera

@NoviceInDisguise :/

NoviceInDisguise

@RadishoftheOpera Strong Titanium and Aluminum alloys

Lighter and stronger

Radish of the Opera

00:13

the battery would be a steel cased nickel cell. :O

NoviceInDisguise

@RadishoftheOpera THere are a few good tutorials online, but the more advanced stuff you will probably have to learn on you rown

@RadishoftheOpera Wouldn't have to be

Radish of the Opera

@NoviceInDisguise really? a titanium battery?

NoviceInDisguise

No . . .

Lithium-Ion . . . does that need any ferrous metals?

Radish of the Opera

@NoviceInDisguise no, but i ahven't seen any that weren't cased in steel

NoviceInDisguise

Doesn't mean there can't be tho

Radish of the Opera

00:16

lead acid might work, ussually a plastic and copper case, but i don't think they come that small.

@NoviceInDisguise good point

but manufacturing a new type of battery so a watch can have a compass doesn't sound like an investment. It's good for teh blender thing though! :)

maybe windup... no battery, all copper...

NoviceInDisguise

lol

Maybe

Good for a first watch anyways

THere is a limited number of gadgets you can add realistically :/

Radish of the Opera

mostly different types of "odometers"

however, if it would be unrealistic anyway, you could make it really fun with an ICBM call button. That would be worth buying a new battery. >:)

NoviceInDisguise

Or one of the ones that uses satellite to contact SAR personnel if you get lost . . .

Radish of the Opera

@NoviceInDisguise one of those buttons for old people in case they fall over...

Beeeeeppp "hello?" "yes, i've fallen and can't get up!" "Right, we'll send an agent right away!"

NoviceInDisguise

lol

Testing initial lighting setup . . . then it is the background

Radish of the Opera

00:28

needs a procedural background

NoviceInDisguise

Like an abstract lighting one?

Radish of the Opera

i don't know, you used that boring ol' milkyway...

NoviceInDisguise

Oh yeah lol. That is gone now

Radish of the Opera

but if you have a 100% procedural watch, might as well make it a 100% procedural scene.

NoviceInDisguise

Something somewhat influenced by stuff like this

google.com/…

@RadishoftheOpera Yeah, no images for me if i can help it

Any suggestions or images for inspiration?

Radish of the Opera

00:31

bye.. dinner. brb

NoviceInDisguise

cya

Radish of the Opera

01:14

time to learn to texture cracks knuckles

NoviceInDisguise

lol

Radish of the Opera

trial and error doesn't sound like it'll be fast.

NoviceInDisguise

Radish of the Opera

i've got no problem sculpting or making games,,, or just plain ol' modelling, but the two things i'm afraid of are python and texturing.

NoviceInDisguise

01:53

New version (low res)

David

OK this was very posabily the last question I will answer form black hole. blender.stackexchange.com/questions/32388/not-colliding-ray/…

NoviceInDisguise

Oh wow

David

I gave him everything he wanted, and more. Yet some how he manages to find a way to always be unhappy with the answers.

NoviceInDisguise

Yeah, no fun to help people like that

David

I'll edit it to add his game property, but then that is it.

NoviceInDisguise

01:57

Yeah

David

@NoviceInDisguise also there was something about this comment that rubbed me the wrong way.

NoviceInDisguise

Yah . . . that seems rather odd

David

I really should of known better, this is not the first time something like this has happened with him. Look at the comments on nearly any of his bountied questions.

NoviceInDisguise

Yeah . . .

David

PS very nice looking watch.

NoviceInDisguise

02:06

Thanks :)

David

is your guru entry done?

NoviceInDisguise

Rendering :/

David

I bet that takes a while

NoviceInDisguise

Yeah

22:38:00 down, 8:30:00 to go

David

WOW

NoviceInDisguise

02:08

Yah

At least 30 hours

David

very interesting. I just read your selection question, and I never knew that lasso or circle select works on the origins.

NoviceInDisguise

Yeah, normally i have the origins on the center of the mesh, so I didn't notice it till recently

David

@NoviceInDisguise me too.

A couple of work arounds. Use different layers for the outer objects and the face. 2 keep the origin at the mesh and parent the object to an empty at the center of the watch (more control this way)

NoviceInDisguise

Yeah

David

David

@GiantCowFilms I would have to check, but that may be it. (I don't put a blend on everything)

all the ones I transfer, I do not put under my name.

@GiantCowFilms 3
