The Renderfarm

@Qwertie Ah, okay

You've just given up on getting the NVIDIA drivers to work?

I will try that later but I wanted to test openCL

Looks like openCL is having problems with my materials

@Qwertie :(

This is with openCL

And this is cpu

2:58 AM

Okay

Big difference

Doing Andrews Cloud tutorial?

yeah

I started it months ago but im finishing now

A: Enabling GPU rendering for Cycles?

@Qwertie Have you seen this?

51

Ensure GPU Support Currently cycles supports CUDA (Nvidia) devices and has experimental support for OpenCL devices as of 2.75 (added in B7f447). If you are using an AMD/ATI graphics card, see the OpenCL section below. CUDA/Nvidia Cycles only supports CUDA GPUs with a CUDA compute ability of 2....

I have the propitiatory drivers picked but im not using the latest ppa

@Qwertie Is that purposeful, or the issue?

I shouldnt need to but im going to try the newer drivers now

3:04 AM

Okay

@RadishoftheOpera ^^

Going to try to get that into Blender

Legos are a bit of a pain to model....

@GiantCowFilms Using an addon

O.o

I installed the PPA but its the same version as I already have

I'm doing it both for fun, and for this question

1

Q: Import LDraw models?

What's the best way to import LDraw models into Blender? http://ldraw.org Thanks!

import

@Qwertie What graphics card do you have?

3:07 AM

Do tell me when you have an answer!

gtx 770

@GiantCowFilms For the question? I've done it before

In my stopmotion days

like two years ago

@TARDISMaker How did you do it

All my import attempts failed miserably

@GiantCowFilms There's an addon

I need to find it again, but I've done stuff with it before

Laravel's creater, Taylor Otwell, must have the world record for speed slamming pull requests

@TARDISMaker Tell me now! :D :D :D :D :D

3:09 AM

@GiantCowFilms NO! I'm going to make you wait a day, and then you'll be in more of a mood to vote up my answer :)

Okay

You'd probably find it if you googled it though

cya later :D

bye

@GiantCowFilms Here, github.com/le717/LDR-Importer/releases

You should be able to figure out the rest

@Qwertie try this docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-getting-started-guide-for-linux/…

That's the only thing that worked for me when I was running Mint

I think I might need to install the nvidia-cuda-toolkit package

3:14 AM

@Qwertie Oh, yes!

I forgot that

That's probably why I never got it to work :)

I always forget how I got it to work last time :P

Man, and I wrote the Debian section, which included that :)

The package is downloading at 60Kbit/s :/

This is going to take a while

@Qwertie Yeah

That's always fun

I'm going to bed, let me know if you get it to work

Ok cya

4:03 AM

@TARDISMaker yep, it works now

12:07 PM

@Qwertie Good

2:09 PM

@GiantCowFilms my new best guess is OK City.

@TARDISMaker thats awesome

did you see season 8 came out on netflix?

@TARDISMaker Thanks

3:24 PM

@RadishoftheOpera Tornadoes! Sharknados!

4:45 PM

hey guys

I cant manage to set up an always sensor to trigger a controller only once and not each frame.

8:20 PM

@RadishoftheOpera I actually don't have netflix, but I was told about it by a friend

I did see season 8 though

I had my Grandma record it for me, and then I would watch it a few days afterwards.

wassup

@TARDISMaker do you know about bge?

@Jonathan Hi :)

@Jonathan No really, sorry

hi ^^

ok np thanks anways :D

@Jonathan @X-27 and @RadishoftheOpera are the guys who know it best here

ok I'll talk to them if I see them around

8:25 PM

yeah, don't ask me to help, I'll probably just get you into trouble :P

@NoviceInDisguise hehe np dude ^^

@Jonathan Yeah, if you need help, you can always just ping the before your question

Artistically or ideologically I might be able to help, but the mechanics I'm only meh at

@TARDISMaker what do you mean by that?

@NoviceInDisguise I like to share any kind of bge knowledge lol

@Jonathan this is a ping

Just type an @ symbol, and then start to type the person you're trying to contact's name, and it will pop up

You just click on that, and then it will ping them

It will then give them a notification

Try it by pinging me

8:30 PM

i.e. "@x-27 How do I ______"

^^

Make sure you word it in a difficult way so that we can all laugh when he replies with something that makes no sense

blenderguru.com/podcasts/ep-75-inside-colin-levy

THat was a good podcast, listened to it a couple days ago

@NoviceInDisguise I didn't know it was out then!

I haven't finished it yet

August 13th

I went out to the woodward cruise so I started it before I left, so I haven't had a chance to finish it yet

8:34 PM

Car Show?

@TARDISMaker I went to an EAA fly in today with the CAP

lots of cool aircraft, some old cars and bikes, all sorts of stuff

@NoviceInDisguise Except bigger

?

If it is a place you show cars, it is a car show

And takes up a decent portion of the road woodward

There are lots of separate car shows along it, and it goes through a few different cities

Ok, i see

It's apparently the biggest outdoor car event in the world

8:37 PM

Quite likely

8:50 PM

@TARDISMaker @Alright didnt know its name.

Okay

9:21 PM

@Jonathan @RadishoftheOpera has arrived! I heard a distressing noob sound, and I’m here to help!

@RadishoftheOpera hi there! this might have been the sound of one of my noobish farts

@RadishoftheOpera May I ask you for the sharing of your most precious knowledge then?

9:43 PM

@Jonathan sure thing, what the problem?

10:13 PM

@RadishoftheOpera I try to make a script for a character to be in idle animation then switch to run animation when pressing W then return into idle when not. It seems quite complicated. I have the armature with a python controller always activated. Then there is the 2 actuators for the run and idle animations set.

@RadishoftheOpera then in the code it activates the run if wkey is pressed and else the idle but if you start it, it will first loop the idle then when pressing w switch into run and when releasing it freeze frame and after that no more animations.

@RadishoftheOpera where you able to finish your game?

What do you all think of my photorealistic charicter. I've been working on it all day

:D

10:29 PM

THE DETAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What part is it?

wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Rigging/…

I really like that addon ^^

I've been playing with it, and it's really easy to get good camera moves

@TARDISMaker ikr

@TARDISMaker Its the entire thing :P

@GiantCowFilms How can it be? It's cut off!

@GiantCowFilms cool shape pattern how did you make it?

@Jonathan Displace modifier

I was actually making this reef rock here:

@RadishoftheOpera Nvm I found it out already. Didnt set the action layer.

@GiantCowFilms So did you sculpt the basics or just displacement?

10:34 PM

I made it custom because I wanted to fine tune the shape for the composition of the final frame

10:56 PM

@TARDISMaker nope, and i'm going to have to go here in a while, oh well, yet another failed BGMC.

@RadishoftheOpera do you maybe know how to change game object properties in code?

@RadishoftheOpera l know how to acces the property sensor and how to get a list with all game properties of an object

@RadishoftheOpera but not how to get a property as an object

@Jonathan you should start searching through the site, and also start asking questions on it if you don't get your question answered

These are things that I would vote for, and I'm sure lots of other people would also

@TARDISMaker I'll try it.

11:13 PM

@Jonathan i don't pyhton well, but i think its object.Properties() or something like that

@GiantCowFilms Displacements are overlapping in one spot showing reversed normals

11:28 PM

@RadishoftheOpera it seems to me that you can just change the game properties on an object with a properties actuator, same old story

11:41 PM

@NoviceInDisguise Yah

its not close enough to the camera to bother about that

and there is a pretty sweet cycles fix anyway

Yep, cut the backfacing ones
