@IgorTatarnikov Please do add so many new tags. If you have a question that does not fit anything else, go ahead. But adding all of those new tags was not needed. Tags like "welding" and "multiple" are not good tags. Read How do I correctly tag my questions?

Thanks @Gonzou, I was kind of annoyed that he came in 41mins after me, and got more UVs (before you UVed mine) and accepted.

@catlover2 good edit!

Gonzou

@David I think if you've ilustrated your answer with gif earlier than him, you would surely got your answer accepted.

Hello everyone :)
I visited this room recently to ask what is the best soft to record gifs. GiantCowFilms recommended me a Licecap and it works very well. Now I have another question. What kind of keyboard button presses recorder gandalf3 uses (like in here: http://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/35591/how-could-i-create-a-3-dimensional-scribble-or-doodle/35596#35596)?

The cool thing is it displays every keyboard and mouse buttons presses (Screencast Keys addon doesn't do such things). Thanks for answer :).

@Gonzou I'm not sure exactly what it's called, but I remember using it a while ago

It might be linux only, but I'm not sure.

@gandalf3 ? ^^

gandalf3

@Gonzou I use "key-mon"

Though in my own personal opinion I don't like it very much

TARDIS Maker

@gandalf3 Yeah, it looks like it's from the Windows XP era

It's not very modern looking

gandalf3

It's themable, but all the themes that come with it all look like that :P

Can't find any alternatives.. Someday maybe I'll write one which works the way I want it too :P

TARDIS Maker

@gandalf3 Would be interesting to see if anyone could come up with a nice theme for it

@gandalf3 That would be good

I wonder if the screencast keys addon could be brought over to be just a simple python script

gandalf3

Yeah.. There are other things which I don't like though. Such as the fact that keys are only displayed for a second, unlike the way screencast keys did it

TARDIS Maker

11:32 PM

And then modified a bit to add the extra functionality

gandalf3

@TARDISMaker That's an interesting idea

I was thinking of something like screencast keys, but outside of blender

downloads source code

methinks all the drawing code will have to be changed

David

@Gonzou I use keycastow

TARDIS Maker

@gandalf3 Yeah, I think Blender has custom OpenGL commands for python

gandalf3

yup

There aren't a ton of open source screencasting things for linux :/

Gonzou

@David looks cool

TARDIS Maker

11:36 PM

@gandalf3 Yeah

David

@gandalf3 what else is on linux, but open source?

gandalf3

TARDIS Maker

I don't think it's really needed by very many people though

gandalf3

No.. which is probably why

TARDIS Maker

@David Linux doesn't have to be entirely open source

gandalf3

11:37 PM

...That's not to say it shouldn't be :P

TARDIS Maker

Companies can give you the binaries, just like on windows

David

@Gonzou the default fount and them is not great, but after tweeking, it works well. Only down side is it screws up Shift NumPad keys.

TARDIS Maker

@gandalf3 Depends

I wouldn't ask something like NUKE to be open source

David

@TARDISMaker I know, but it is more then any other os

gandalf3

@TARDISMaker Whos asking anyone to be open source?

TARDIS Maker

11:39 PM

@David That is definately true

David

@gandalf3 huh?

gandalf3

@David \o/

@David conversation == confused

Gonzou

@David a lot of options there. I'll give it a try

...That's not to say it shouldn't be :P

David

@gandalf3 me too

gandalf3

11:40 PM

@TARDISMaker Since when does nuke == linux!??

TARDIS Maker

@gandalf3 You can get NUKE on Linux!

Davinci Resolve also

David

I'm lost. Somebody ping me when the chat makes sense.

gandalf3

I think I see.

TARDIS Maker

I was just trying to point out the closed source stuff that's available on Linux

gandalf3

I interpreted "linux" literally (i.e. the kernel)

So I thought you were saying linux (the OS) should be close source

TARDIS Maker

11:42 PM

No, I would never want to suggest that

gandalf3

@David You can come back now (I think)

TARDIS Maker

Pizza (no he can't)

David

@gandalf3 thanks.

gandalf3

David

@TARDISMaker I just had pizza, so you can keep yours

gandalf3

11:44 PM

... now I'm hungry

TARDIS Maker

@David Okay, sounds good

David

@gandalf3 I havent found a way to send pizza through the chat yet.

otherwise I would give you a piece

TARDIS Maker

@David How much more do you need before you can solve the equation?

gandalf3

@David Perhaps there's a hidden feature in the mod settings.. clicks a few random buttons

TARDIS Maker

I might be able to help out with my non existent calculus skills.

David

11:46 PM

@TARDISMaker A new disk drive, mine stoped working after about 4 slices.

TARDIS Maker

@David You do need a new disk drive!

It was the blue ray, wasn't it?

David

@TARDISMaker yes you know those things that people use to put CD and DVDs in.

@TARDISMaker no, was pizza in the blue ray spec?

TARDIS Maker

@David No, that's one of the features they got rid of from normal CD, DVD drives

They used to be able to scan a substance if it was thin enough

And then 3D print it

David

Everybody should watch this tutorial (only 6 mins). I even left a comment saying how much I liked it.

TARDIS Maker

@David It was very good

It was a bit dull to listen to though
