@gandalf3 but you can't easily batch crop
you can do that with imagemagick

Q: Transparency problem with texture using cycles

user2593789I am trying to use a basic plane an texturing it with a doily for a table. The doily texture has an alpha layer. I used a mix shader with a transparency shader and the diffuse image shader and the factor from the image itself. I got a really weird result (picture below). I tried using black fo...

@CharlesL Just use the crop tool. It affects all layers/frames.
Though Image magick is awesome ;)
Or.. wait, are you operating on multiple layers? Or multiple separate images?
IM is definitely better (IMO) for separate files.

Q: Color faces based on world space normal

Guy CookI would like to be able to render a model/scene using the standard renderer (not game mode) where the color of each face/polygon is determined by its world-space normal. For example, looking at a cube from an angle where I can see the +x/+y/+z faces should render the faces with colours (255, 127,...

Q: How to display an skeletal animation in WebGL on web browser

MomokoI want to load and display this animation model in WebGL on web browser. blender file I exported a JSON file as skeletal animation with an addon for three.js, and loaded it in WebGL, but it wasn't success. I referenced this cite, but I couldn't understand well...

I started learning Houdini today -- just to get inspiration how their procedural environment works -> so I can implement that in Blender (muhhahhahaha) -- and then I realised: I lied to everyone => actually Blender has one of the best UI systems in the world, even if it has a right click selection by default

I like the way you can split and merge and resize and switch the subwindows
the fact that you can recolor everything
reassign keyboard and mouse shortcuts
ofc I know and I see, it needs a lot of improvements
but atm it does have super fancy UI features out of the box
14:20
exactly ;)
it's a little difficult to learn, but once you get it, you can work incredibly fast in it
@gandalf3 oh, that's right. I forgot that there was an option to affect all the frames. Still, I prefer batch manipulation in imagemagick most of the time. :P

Q: Which is the better Topology? Left or Right? - [With Image Reference]

ChoChoWhich is the better topology? Left or right. Left looks more balanced. But right gives better result in the renderer. Its bottom part of swimsuit btw.

Q: Why seam edges move together?

Khaled AbdelhayI have a cube where I am trying to move, in a UV space, one edge that happens to a seam too. My understanding since the edge is marked as a seam, it should be separate of surrounding edges, however when I move the edge other vertices/edges move as well? Could pls someone tell me why do we have th...

has someone in here used mari?
has anyone in here used blender
@Vader Blender? I've used it once or twice ;)
oh hi
Never heard of mari though..
What is it?
texture painting app
from the foundry
its commercial, but still good
Looks nice
20:26
indeed
Blender looks good too, I recommend it.. And it's free! ;)
open-source, even better
quite :)
blender question: I have a mesh it has on it modifiers: A, B, C in that order, C is the newest
If I change a parameter @C does it recalculate modifiers A and B?
It should
20:31
hmm
thats not good though
Why not?
the outptu of A and B will be the same
Oh.
Your right
no need to recalculate that
Maybe it doesn't recalculate them..
20:31
I wonder
Lemme check
...
okay, me too. I think it does recalculate
Yes..
darn
Should ask a dev to be sure though
Maybe they'll fix it ;)
20:34
maybe, but that seems like a fairly complicated feature
BTW, applying also recalculates..
I know
thats just a waste I find
@Vader Maybe.. Maybe not. I wish I knew C...
IIRC applying with Alt+C does not recalculate
Nvm, it does too.
That is annoying :(
yeah I know
other apps do this to though
so it not just blender
20:44
do you know python?
I feel like everyone in the blender community is learningpython atm
I know a little
Still learning though
me too
did you starting learning python for blender immediately or did you take a more conceptual approach?
have you seen the cgcookie python tuts
I was trying to write stuff in python outside of blender to start, but I never got very far. (Until I started using python in blender)
20:49
oh
@Vader I haven't watched any, but I keep meaning too. :/
how far did you get?
@gandalf3 I wonder about those tuts
@Vader A little past print ("Hello world!")
so no classes?
20:51
hmm
did cg cookie get more expensive?
was it not once 30/month?
I think it has
lolol
21:03
hahaah
