as a big fan of OSX i don't think the new macbook pro is a particularly good choice for anyone really. price and performance do not seem to correlate at all. i also have my opinions on the new even flatter keyboards. for rendering you generally want to avoid laptops as they can run really hot (and in the medium term cook…
Is your compute device set to the GPU in System tab of user preferences? On the render settings tab of the Properties panel is it set to use the GPU? If you're on Linux have you tried running Blender as root if the compute devices don't show up?
Absolutely ! Thank you for taking the time to test things out and write it down. I've got it all up and running now, going back and forth without a hitch. Lesson learned : editing the default temp path is not the wisest thing to do :D
imho it depends on you graphics card as far as i know there are models that run perfectly fine, i´ve seen people work on models with more than 20million triangles without problems http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT_hkSbK8Iw#t=20
Anybody know what "Vertex Scaling" would be under in the User Preferences, or if it is? I run Blender with the Maya preset, with a slight edit to include Blender's scaling and such tools - didn't see "Vertex Scaling" when I searched, and Ctrl+A doesn't do it for me.
Cloth stuff looking cute, @JoseConseco! @pior have you tried https://gumroad.com/l/vol_smooth This script is incredibly powerful Alternatively select all edge rings along the edge loops you want to correct and run a LoopTools -> Space (or Relax, sometimes they are interchangable)
Hey Andy, Any idea how to invoke the knife tool from python. i triedif bpy.ops.mesh.knife_tool.poll(): bpy.ops.mesh.knife_tool(use_occlude_geometry=True, only_select=False) but it does nothing. if I try to run it directly without the poll check it says im in an incorrect context. any ideas?
These videos were likely speed up then. Not everyone has the same level of tolerance when it comes to interaction feedback and framerate, and there is really not mystery here - a million-poly model that runs butter smooth in Zbrush will not be as easy to manipulate in Blender. It's not really an argument or an opinion,…
Ha - I am not too used to multi-user stuff in general (mostly familiar with the duplication of materials) but not so much of textures). Alright, that does work, thanks ! I'll have to see if that is efficient/fluid in the long run, but I already like how it allows to skip browsing altogether, even if that means doing a bit…
Seems like the installer doesn't register the application properly. This is the fix https://blenderartists.org/t/blend-files-not-using-preview-thumbnails-in-windows-explorer/643180/7 Edit: Just a quick point you don't need to run it as admin if you only want to register it for yourself.
