if it wasnt coded in a language meant for parallel tasks in server applications, I am sure it would have kicked blender's ass so bad by now... I like the simplicity of the app. but I guess progress is completely bound to the guy who made it, eventhough its opensource I bet there arent many server-app-coders who are into 3d…
Phew, finally. 1.4.0 released. More info in my blog post: http://nixes.ru/?p=568 Thanks, but that also requires to compile it for each maya version... I decided to release it with source code, and only protect with a license agreement, to make it easier compatible with different Maya versions without the need to compile it…
I was wondering what sort of hit on performance one would experience when using an atlas texture for many batched meshes, and then use the same texture for dynamic meshes. For example, say I have a 4096x4096 atlas texture that I have made for many static structures. I have some left-over texture space in this atlas to use…
Use your buffer visualization mode to check specular/roughness differences, check it under different lighting conditions (ie: when the sun is behind the grass, does it get darker than the landscape?). This is sort of to be expected, though; grass cards are generally perpendicular to the landscape so they will receive light…
Yeah I have my Dell U2410 in portrait mode while coding and my other monitor is on an ergotron arm. These things are really helpful especially with me not having enough desk space for another stand mount. Also something to see along with having the monitor at eye level is the height of a chair and back support.
Cloud9 is something I have been using for a little while now, so I can transport code from home to work, without having version problems, - its basically a Google docs for coders, - it has a nice console and works pretty damned well. https://c9.io/ is the link if anyone is interested.
Hey! Great step to start posting online. It's a really good habit to have since you'll learn to communicate about your work, making nice screenshots (even the WIP ones!) and getting feedback :+1: This is a great start so far! Right now it could really help to flesh out your meshes and blockout so you can see how the scene…
I agree with dehebo, don't trust code that is a mess. Code is written for humans, not for computers. Variable names like: a, b, c and stuff like that indicate bad coding style. Code that does more than something obvious should preferably be commented. General naming of functions and variables is important and it is…
So there's a few things you'll want to do to make sure your scene is set to take full advantage of you PPC. By default the World setting usually want to maintain as much control as they can, which defeats the purpose of having a PPC in the first place (except in certain situations). First, in your World settings make sure…
Hey guys, thank you for getting back with me. I had done a revamp of everything that I had listed (I realized I posted some incorrect code and proceeded to check things and fix them). Still having an issue, but I'll get to that in a moment. At the time I posted this, I was stressed out beyond all reason so I'm sorry that…
