@RadishoftheOpera Are you mentally deranged or impaired? That is scary!
@NoviceInDisguise Both
Definitely Both...
I adore my old folder names, obnoxious underscores and terrible misspellings...
The one think I like about cleaning up old files is that it gives me hope for my future. Not only do I make my files orderly for the future, but I will also see what an idiot I used to be, and how far I've come. Considering how dumb I was then, it makes my realize how smart I will be in the future. Of course I'm thinking about the future because the present is so miserable... I mean what am I supposed to do with all these dumb online purchase receipts I burdened myself with.... sigh

@NoviceInDisguise see, thats why i need naps! i am sick!
@NoviceInDisguise lol, i told you i'd milk that excuse as much as possible.
03:00
@RadishoftheOpera Your homework is due, and no that won't work!
03:12
All caps in folder names is just not cool.... really not cool, there is never a need to yell at yourself!
#ihatemyfilesystem
Do you think you'd notice if I out soured my chat messages to a Chinese firm? I could then spend my life doing something even less constructive then chatting with a bunch of strangers on the internet for hours on end.
@GiantCowFilms but we're not strangers.. just.. strange
actually, i guess we are strangers
03:30
But not quite
that was mostly just for a joke ;D
although I do admit I would like to know your faces... XD, but I don't want to share mine!

@KeithBell hello, on behalf of @iKlsR!
you should have a chat account now
@iKlsR you should be able to give him write access to w/e room under your domain now
06:19
@NoviceInDisguise blender.stackexchange.com/questions/25939/… is now updated and includes now demo .blend plus github source. The script was also improved by @sambler.

@David heck yeah, I don't have time to waste on rendering a joke.
@GiantCowFilms lol, wanna see my face?

user image
actually, I am working on a self portrait... but like I said before, it's hard to do my face justice.
@RadishoftheOpera I think if I actually looked like that I would kill myself.
@GiantCowFilms it was raining in SLC on Feb25.... you sound suspicious
17:08
@RadishoftheOpera lol. too true.
@NoviceInDisguise Congrats, I'm falling behind, on SE rep but getting real work done :D maybe I'll answer a few...
@RadishoftheOpera oh lol
@GiantCowFilms Thanks! I'm working on a few portfolio pieces and potential tutorial projects while I wait for my render to finish . . .

Q: Could/Should this be combined with 3D printing?

DA.There's some questions as to whether or not this overlaps with Graphic Design. I think the answer is, yes--just as a lot of SE sites overlap with each other. With the goal of reducing overlap and perhaps boosting the chances of overly-fragmented SE sites, would it instead make sense to propose...

@GiantCowFilms really? why not?
@NoviceInDisguise Good idea... :D, I'm currently purging my disks, and cleaning them up, and then I'll finish what I'm doing
I think it would be feasible to have printing content in the site. Taking a look a BlenderSE we've seen a few printing questions and they've been dealt with well, but (I'm guessing) not to the satisfaction of the asker. blender.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/3d-printing This new community seems like the best place for those questions, and as someone who's done 3D printing for quite some time, I don't think there would be to much content conflict. — Vince Scalia 3 mins ago
17:17
@RadishoftheOpera There are hardware 3D printing questions that just wouldn't fit the expertise.
Because of the hardware we need a separate site, and if we have one, we might as well make all the 3D printing questions their domain.
@GiantCowFilms hardware problems occupy a very small portion of it. Plus, think about it like people having trouble with Addons.
@GiantCowFilms Exactly
@NoviceInDisguise it would be nice to have them consolidated.
@RadishoftheOpera Its not problems, its techniques etc.. I know several people who built their own 3D printers. I'm sure they'd have a lot of questions to ask about the hardware.
@GiantCowFilms well yeah, redirect them to google, I had no qualms with mine.
17:20
@RadishoftheOpera you built one?
Why not have printing site.........
hows that for ironic
@RadishoftheOpera you printed a 3d printer?
17:22
@GiantCowFilms there would be questions about the modeling there, and the best people to answer those would be found on the 3D modeling sites, they'd never dither in PrintingSE, they'd have no use for it, so you deprive the children of valuable software-side knowledge in order to not have to see hardware-side questions when you click "Newest Questions"
really it only makes sense to put them in one place
@RadishoftheOpera Modeling question can be handled by either site
the guys that like hardware questions will deal with hardware, and you can deal with software
4 mins ago, by Radish of the Opera
@NoviceInDisguise it would be nice to have them consolidated.
@RadishoftheOpera Careful, Blender.SE might get combined, then you'll have to page through Max and Maya question for you blender needs
Gah!!!
BTW, new question:
0
Q: Is there an equivalent to Remove Doubles for Bezier curves?

NoviceInDisguiseI have been doing a lot of work with curves recently (mostly Bezier because of the greater control) and I have stumbled across an issue, I can't seem to find an equivalent option to Remove Doubles used for meshes. Is there a way to merge all vertices along a curve within a given distance?

@GiantCowFilms that's as absurd as me not wanting python questions here because I don't know how to deal with them.
17:27
@NoviceInDisguise me too!

Q: Animate Twisting Rope?

GiantCowFilmsWhat is a good reliable method to animate multiple ropes being twisted together? One end of the rope will be fixed in space, while the other ends rotate in a circle, creating twist. How can this be animated? Simulations are ideal in this regard, since I may need to twist a considerable number of ...

@GiantCowFilms the questions I ask never get answered
I tagged the life out of that one
@RadishoftheOpera No, Python is directly related
@NoviceInDisguise Python is to Blender as Printing is to Modeling for some people
17:30
Well it isn't :/ Python is an integral part of Blender, and needs to be used in order to achieve certain effects. Printing is utterly and completely non-specific to Blender/modelling. THe only potentially possibly on topic ones would be about how to model to ensure structural integrity
@NoviceInDisguise I don't think we'll agree on this.
@RadishoftheOpera You are wrong!
:P - BZzzzzrrrupp
Things about the process and the act of printing are not a good fit i don't think
Or about hardware
The modelling side though, the part done in application, might fit well
17:32
sorry to inform you, but I'm actually right, and btw, raspberries don't make that sound unless you have you foot in your mouth...
:P plpppptttttttttttttttttttt
look at that, you degraded me to a child in two seconds flat

@RadishoftheOpera rofl
how skilled of you..
17:35
@RadishoftheOpera I love the way you think I degraded you to what you already were. Now that is skilled. :P BZZZzUuuurrpppllllllllllltttttttttttt
@GiantCowFilms son take your foot out of your mouth right now... that's unsanitary!

@RadishoftheOpera Nap time, little radish

@GiantCowFilms go die in a hole

look at that, you degraded me to a child in two seconds flat
@GiantCowFilms I know where you live
@RadishoftheOpera @David you have no need to be scared of @X-27.... anymore
@RadishoftheOpera I know you don't know where I don't live
No idea what that means
@GiantCowFilms I will find you and when I do... Muaahahahaahaaa...
@RadishoftheOpera uh.... uh... lol...........
17:42
i'll probably shake your hand... idk
@RadishoftheOpera I will flag that for a moderator
@RadishoftheOpera Inconceivable!
@NoviceInDisguise and then....
(movie quote of the day)
17:43
@NoviceInDisguise which movie?
lol
It is a "Classic", in other words, old fashioned mush
wow. I feel mean
this is what it looks like when I hit my head on my keyboard
ygggvf bn bhy
@RadishoftheOpera Freudian slip, buster!
(I don't look to nice either though)
@GiantCowFilms pardon?
you actually wrote that with your head?
@RadishoftheOpera You slipped on Freud and hit your head on the keyboard
17:45
I ight be able to type with my nose..
You also let your true violent personality show ;D
@RadishoftheOpera that "m"
hji! my nosr caqnhj aolkmoswt65 type
wow, that's harder thn it should be
Do it with your toes :D
17:46
eww. no
my nose was weird enough
Are they that dirty?
@NoviceInDisguise ]I don't wear shoes very often
Oh . . . then yeah, yick!
17:47
yick+
@GiantCowFilms if I was really that violent I'd have trouble taking power naps
@RadishoftheOpera you can strangle people in your sleep, buster
@GiantCowFilms if I can sleep...
@NoviceInDisguise They are attached to his body, gross.....
once my hand lost circulation and I nearly choked myself to death
17:49
@RadishoftheOpera of course you can, every Radish Psychopath (new username?) needs sleep
@RadishoftheOpera You have hands!
@GiantCowFilms good thing I'm not a physcopath, huh?
@GiantCowFilms rather large ones
two octaves on keyboard
@RadishoftheOpera So your a violent normal person
?
something is bugging me about that last sentence.....
@GiantCowFilms a non-violent psycopath
@RadishoftheOpera You are violent, you confirmed that buddy
(why are my patronizing names not working)
@GiantCowFilms who's buddy and buster, are they friends of yours?
17:51
@RadishoftheOpera I'm referring to you, like duh!... sarcastically with a patronizing tone, like a lifeguard
@GiantCowFilms lifegaurds do that to you?
wow.. learn to walk
@RadishoftheOpera XD
rofl
and what did I say that was violent?
Watching you two chat is entertaining . . .
@NoviceInDisguise ikr?... dang it, I got banana on my keys

Do you play piano?
I think too few people have had that problem for it to bubble up as a needed function of the Curve editor routines. Detecting multiple identical knot+handle in sequence is quite trivial in python. I'm not aware of any inbuilt methods to remove doubles.
NID !
\that was supposed to say "my elbows are too big to write with"
the duplicate bezier data
Yeah, wondering what the NID ! meant
@zeffii ALT + M didn't work
@NoviceInDisguise on cold days
By accident?
yeah in Curves you have to remove segments
17:56
I play by nose
@zeffii So a script would do it?
I really need to learn Python . . .
@NoviceInDisguise but you would need a circle
yeah
@zeffii I do too.... is there a class?
but - my unhelpfullest advice is - be more mindful of what your doing
17:57
wow... that was the most unhelpfullest thing I've ever heard
:D i intentionally tried to sound like a 5 year old there
cheeky but honest.
Yep
Good advice too, just doesn't help current issues :/
@NoviceInDisguise making a shape and converting to curve doesn't work either, it may be impossible.
I really need to learn Python anyways, maybe that'll be a good way to start. Or you can pick up some easy rep
I think the cow was honestly scared of me. . .
18:00
Novice, just a simple BezierCurve?
doesn't work
hold on
NURBS is unnecessary as of yet
neither does rubbing you nose on the keyboard
interesting, dosn't seem to solve many problem.
noses that is
18:02
any of yee live near Neywork with those escaped convicts?
that stuff has captivated me for some reason.
Yewnork? I don't think so, I think x-27 is closest
@zeffii I live near the fires and floods, but not conwicts
and pot and mountains
flood ...scary stuff
@zeffii Where at?
Which prison?
the algorithm:
this could will go along and record for every point the positions of the set of knot + handles, and check against the previous set. If all match the previous set, the index is recorded and the loop is broken, then in the segment us selected solo and segment removed. This operation can be repeated automatically untill no seqential duplicates are found.
not sure what it's called
@GiantCowFilms I'm not dangerous, creepy, or even that mean, but i would question the sanity of someone who hasn't been questioning mine.
18:10
@zeffii Comstock?
Yiksees! Pretty crazy!
Wonder which way they headed?
18:36
almost got this script ready NID :)
this (not complete yet) gist.github.com/zeffii/38b80cc0a3014caf616b would select all those points that are the same as a previous one
but if you add bpy.ops.curve.delete(type='VERT') at the end it does :)
test it on something non-critical :)
it assumes no points are selected before running
OK
@zeffii Hiw di I trigger it? Just run from the text editor?
18:45
yeah, with your curve in edit mode
(Alt+P)
Hmmm . . . can't get it to work for me. Does it work for you? I'm using 2.74 if that makes a difference
sigh
Just read your answer, let me try again . . .
gimme an example blend that doesn't work.. else i'm fumbling in the dark
19:10
cool moment
i see.. yeah, my script doesn't handle doubles that aren't sequential in the list of points of the bezier
uch .. a heatwave ..my computer just decided to reboot
the problem is not tricky.. you are talking about literally several duplicated sub splines
I interpretted the problem description as A - B - C - C - C - C - D - E
where in one spline you might have a string of repeated co+handles
but your scenario is
A - B, A - B, A - B,
@GiantCowFilms I'll be watching for it :)
election results :)
@zeffii It really depends, but yes.
19:23
that can't be too exciting
NID, the tricky part is how to define what a double is
Ah, I can see how that might be tricky
We could easily make something that filters this
ABCD, EFG, EFG, HIJ, LMNO
and remove the one duplicate EFG
but I have no time to do it now.
gotta go
19:55
fun experimenting with volumes blender.stackexchange.com/a/32364/2217
could be a fire ball under water. @X-27 am I right?
Looks cool!
20:23
@NoviceInDisguise ol' beaverou making good use of the word "notorious" there.. lol
21:18
@David It looks like a cube with something weird inside. However, I suppose it could be a fireball underwater.
As the famous quote goes, Beauty (or lack there of) is totally in the eye of the beholder.
21:42
I always can make progress deleting old useless files. Every time I enter a directory there is a sub directory "New Folder" I can delete, and therefore make (the illusion of) progress. Sometimes there is even a "New Folder (2)" in addition, which allows me to be twice as productive.
@David Pro-Tip: Putting "Stuff","Random Stuff", "Test" or "Random Test" in a file name is more effective for killing you the smoking cigarettes.

22:27
lol, that pro tip is almost true
BTW, something I've been working on between renders since last night:
@NoviceInDisguise :D
@GiantCowFilms I think I might do a watch modelling tutorial
@NoviceInDisguise Sure, that one will be short, good to have some variety :D
Also, do your parents have an issue with skype as a communication channel? If not I prefer it if possible :D
@GiantCowFilms no, smoking is about as effective as i comes
Or base jumping without a parachute
(amongst other things)
@NoviceInDisguise Yah.... my Aunt and Uncle base jumped (If you think I'm a bit crazy, meet my fammily), and they knew a person or two who actually did that :/ pretty sad
by accident of course
22:38
@GiantCowFilms i knew a guy who dirt biked against traffic for thrills...
@NoviceInDisguise don't listen to him! it's a scam!

@RadishoftheOpera I once saw to guys playing chicken with a train on dirtbikes...
And I'm serious... I am still stunned to this day
@RadishoftheOpera Slightly immaterial parachutes, 80% off!
@GiantCowFilms don't know... i guess they just get depressed and have nothing better to do... like russian roulette.
@RadishoftheOpera Even Skype doesn't know what i look like. I put tape over my webcam :)
@RadishoftheOpera Yeah
22:40
Well, that was uplifting, lets not talk about death, shall we?
@NoviceInDisguise I don't have a webcam
suuuuure.....?
@RadishoftheOpera How bout how many radishes we are eating for dinner
22:41
@GiantCowFilms I don't ont his machine actually, do I . . . that is on the other
@NoviceInDisguise Yah
@GiantCowFilms i thought you didn't like eating vegetablehs
Personally I don't care if skype or the government can see me... they would pretty quickly want to stop looking at my face so I have no reason to be worried
22:42
@RadishoftheOpera I don't, that was an attempt to be funny.
ah...
okay then
I like veggies, especially processed by creatures into high protein muscle tissue
i like vegs... mostly cause they're pretty to look at.
and they make great sounds when mashed.
if all i cared about was taste, i'd eat doughnuts every day, every meal.
@RadishoftheOpera I'd go for grass...
@GiantCowFilms i thought we weren't gonna be making perverse meanings of normal statements anymore.
22:45
@RadishoftheOpera Fine!
sheesh, am i the only one limited by that rule, or can i stop now?
@RadishoftheOpera No no no
I was off my guard!
cause i had some pretty good things to say about 4 hpours ago
involving your parents...
but because i'm not as creepy as you try to make me seem, i won't say them
5 hours ago, by Radish of the Opera
@GiantCowFilms go die in a hole
@RadishoftheOpera You are every bit as creepy
@NoviceInDisguise grabs a bag of popcorn, the live entertainment as begun!
@GiantCowFilms hows that creepy? i was merely advising you to find a sheltered place under normal ground level and hold your breath for a long time....
peace man, it's not like i could middle finger over the web or anything like that.
22:48
@RadishoftheOpera That wasn't an example
it was a genuine recommendation, look at which message it was in reply too
@RadishoftheOpera I'm sorry I'm sorry! lets not creepy anymore!
@GiantCowFilms what, to you being a jerk after not being able to take any jokes, oh yeah, taht one
@RadishoftheOpera Sorry, don't take it litterally... its all a joke, I'm currently about to fall of my chair laughing!
Pro-Tip: if you can't take it, don't dish it.
22:51
@RadishoftheOpera "you being a jerk" D: Sorry D':
@RadishoftheOpera Okay okay!
okay okay.... I'm taking it, I will however dish it back x10... which sounds like not taking it but seriously, I'm just kidding you!
go ahead...
so a question here
@RadishoftheOpera question...?
am i the only one limited by the general "Lets not be creepy or take statements in a creepy way" or is that universal.?
@RadishoftheOpera universal....
sorry for that one....
22:55
@RadishoftheOpera D:
cause you were offended by pretty much something exactly like taht...
in fact, you probably learned that word from me.
@RadishoftheOpera Its boundary area
my creepness cutoff looks like an electron cloud...
@RadishoftheOpera no I have plenty of creepy contacts
okay heres the deal, i don't mind it, so you ccan joke with me like that as long as you don't act likei'm an awful person if i let something unsavory slip about you, k?
you get some rather odd types in the homeschooling community sometimes
@GiantCowFilms duely noted
what gets under my skin the most, i guess, is you guys make me feel mean...
22:57
@RadishoftheOpera You have no made me look bad, if we keep at it we might actually stop being creepy for good, which wont be bad
@RadishoftheOpera You just did too.... FYI
@GiantCowFilms i wasn't saying that to make you feel mean, just letting you know that you were being pretty hypocritical.
@NoviceInDisguise We have been told off by each other, it is safe to retun.
@RadishoftheOpera And good on you for it.... :)
@RadishoftheOpera We both have trouble with controlling our communications and bad comes out of it :/
at least we remind each other, so we can improve right?
you can joke with me as much as you like as long as i don't get made unwelcome when i say something back
@GiantCowFilms see tahts the thing though, i don't have a problem with the jokes
i'm just angry that it felt one sided.
@RadishoftheOpera I'm saying that it should be unwelcome, in order to make this a nice place for everyone (in fact, having been here longer then you I can say that chat conversation is at an all time quality low), I just have tendency to pickup on others bad habbits, and occasionally as a result become a hypocrite. As it happens, now, whenever I see you I think creepy, and then creepiness comes to topic :/ bad associations :/
must control communications
@GiantCowFilms wow you really think of me as creepy?
23:05
@RadishoftheOpera I do sometimes... or when I see your I get reminded of your creepy remarks
...
thats... interesting.. i guess.
Yes, any bad impression stick...
gee I wonder what people think of when they see me, maybe earplugs
Every time I leave you guys start fighting . . . tsk, tsk
4 days left to submit artwork!! AHHHH!!
23:40
@NoviceInDisguise do you know if you can put blender freestyle on a real picture
?
