@iKlsR 200 :(
@TimTimmy Add some details about the exact sort of animation etc. you can't figure out how to do.
@TimTimmy e.g. "How to make text rotate to always face the camera?", or "How to make lines bend?"
 
@gandalf3 75.. o.o. It was pretty fun. I was getting too laid back anyways, when I was at 8k, you were at 5k. Competition is good. :D. lawlz
 
@iKlsR lol
I'm still gonna try (I I just get 200 quick......) :P
@iKlsR BTW, did we get all those tags finished?
 
@gandalf3 do it! :D
@gandalf3 Nope, some stuff came up. I intend to make a full meta post on the final changes.
I also want to do it as clean as possible so we don't spam the site with edits.
So alot of merging will be done rather than just deleting.
 
@iKlsR I agree, I kept all the ones that we planned on merging around
@iKlsR :/
I actually never knew that
Though guess I don't use LMB select ;)
Is there anything wrong with this question?
 
@gandalf3 Nope.
 
12:47 AM
@iKlsR Okay, I was wondering..
thanks
 
@gandalf3 Is there anything wrong with this answer? blender.stackexchange.com/questions/2384/…
People will just downvote stuff for seemingly no reason at times.. :/
 
:\
 
@gandalf3 Fun Fact. Trusted users on graduated sites need 20k rep, so we would just about be getting access to mod tools.
 
@iKlsR :O
 
lulz

Q: How can the Bokeh Image node be used?

gandalf3From the wiki: With the Bokeh Image node you can generate a reference image for blurs. What are some example uses for this node?

 
@gandalf3 I dident know there was a shortcut for that! I have been manually selecting open in new tab
 
@qwertyk31 :D
 
1:08 AM
@qwertyk31 ಠ_ಠ
also mmb to close a tab.
 
How do you lock rotation and position for a key frame?
 
@qwertyk31 What do you mean?
 
set the postion and rotation of a object for a keyfame
 
LocRot ?
 
yes
 
1:10 AM
@qwertyk31 Press I > Insert keyframe > LocRot
 
I > LocRot
 
@iKlsR Yep that did it
 
@gandalf3 former refers to the view, latter changing values
 
@iKlsR Yes, but do we really need both?
 
1:15 AM
not all customizations are made in user prefs
o.o
 
@iKlsR I know, but IMO includes
 
wow MMB does everything!
 
@qwertyk31 Yep
 
Just got a new mouse
 
@qwertyk31 nice
Some of those buttons on the side look like they might be a little awkward though..
 
1:22 AM
@gandalf3 The keys on the side can be set to use the num pad
 
0.0
 
@gandalf3 Only the bottom row
 
And I suppose you don't use "12" much anyway...
 
11 and 12 are - and =
 
oh

Q: Is there a way to make a shortcut comment the current line?

gandalf3I'm used to CtrlD commenting the current line rather than duplicating it. This is easy enough to change in the user preferences, however it only works when there is a highlighted selection. Is it possible to make this work even when nothing is highlighted, so the line with the cursor is comment...

 
also 10 is 0
 
That makes sense
 
Having the numbers on the side gives you a huge advantage in games

Q: How to handle creating a node group in a script?

gandalf3I am attempting to make a python script that creates a nodegroup based on some scene properties, however the group_make operator needs to be in a node editor context to run. It seems awkward to try and make a node view temporarily while the script is running, as the plan is to create the nodegro...

 
1:49 AM
@gandalf3 You know how to make shortcuts right cuz I'm tired.. heh
 
@iKlsR Is there a way without creating an operator?
 
Errm.. I always created custom operators.
 
@iKlsR Okay, that's what I thought
 
I don't think so
@gandalf3 Couldn't work either, you need the shortcut to invoke an operator
 
BTW, how are custom operators supposed to be added?
 
1:51 AM
errm..
 
I've done it by saving them in the text editor with the default .blend
But I have a feeling that that's not right

A: Adding a custom shortcut for sculpt mode

iKlsRThere is probably a better or more efficient way of doing this but this is one way to go about it.. The command for entering sculpt mode is bpy.ops.sculpt.sculptmode_toggle() . You can put this into a small script and register the desired shortcut… import bpy class EnterSculptMode(bpy.types.Op...

See register
 
@iKlsR So create an addon?
 
@gandalf3 You don't have to.
 
@iKlsR How else can I have it registered on startup?
 
1:54 AM
errm..
Ah
I would just inherit from Operator but you have to register it seems
 
@iKlsR Hm?
 
@gandalf3 you have to create an addon for it to be usable at startup.
You would create the operator name with bl.id_name
 
@iKlsR Okay, that's what I wanted to know. Thanks :)
 
@iKlsR Here's your rep :P
 
2:09 AM
@gandalf3 Why thank you my good sir.

Q: Is there anyway to make blender print errors in the UI?

gandalf3For some reason, sometimes error messages encountered while scripting are not printed in the info panel, only the message Python script fail, look in the console for now... . One question I have is: Why is this? I like working with blender full screen, but it gets annoying having to switch bac...

From each camera I know the external parameters Pi (from bpy.data.objects['Cam0'].matrix_world) and both have the same internal parameters K. Additionally, I have one rendered depthmap (z-buffer) per camera. From the depthmap I shoul...

gandalf3How can I connect nodes in a node group to the input or output sockets?

Q: How to specify the name of a node group when creating it from python?

gandalf3I have been creating node groups with the group_make operator, but there doesn't seem to be any way to set properties such as the label or name of the resulting group node. This makes it difficult to access this node later, and be sure that one is accessing the correct node. How can I specify n...
