Hi there again @Tiles I think you are missing my point by about a mile :D Well of course the file in question is packed, as it is what "Automatically pack into .blend" does, and both the UI and behavior indicate that it is. My hypothetical at the end of last post was only in reaction to your suggestion that if it was…
I believe for a 3d app (or any app) to be considered good, it must allow the user to easily create custom hot keys and transfer those settings from one machine to another and also from one version of an app to the next version. I come from the side that thinks everyone should set up their own hot keys based on their own…
No it is free but there is an option to donate via paypal. Some people believe that Blender needs a commercial pillar to mature, e.g. professional addons maintained by paid developers, and I am fine with that. But personally I have a different philosophy. TexTools is free to use, copy the code or learn from. All I want is…
Please don't debate about the capabilities of Blender in the mega thread, create a topic and if you think that Blender lacks some feature you can suggest them here: https://blender.community/c/rightclickselect/ But almost everything you mentioned already exist: - dyntopo is awesome, way better than dynamesh because it's…
I'm trying to recreate this OSL node setup from Max in Blender. I've loaded the OSL script in Blender, but it doesn't work and I'd rather not use OSL anyway as it doesn't support GPU. Basically, I have 2 displacement maps: 1 baked from Zbrush with a 0 mid-point, and the other is a 3-channel RGB map that I painted in Mari…
I downloaded Blender 2.8 yesterday and was looking into adding my own scripts to custom keyboard hotkeys, but there are gaps in my understanding that the Blender documentation isn't explaining well enough to a dumbass like me. For starters, all the scripts I've been finding that should be printing stuff somewhere aren't…
@pior Thank you for the informative answers :) I'm really learning a lot from your inputs, you being the Blender user with more experience in knowing how all the systems relate with each other. For the pivot thing, I was just looking for a Pivot-To-Bottom solution because it's something I do pretty frequently in my work.…
Surprise this hasnt been posted yet.... but theres been some communication between Valve and the Blender Foundation. Here are two quotes, one from Valve and the other Ton. Hi everyone, I work for Valve (http://www.valvesoftware.com/company/). We would like to make our digital distribution platform Steam…
There was a script made for 2.43 that could do this, though you cant dock it anywhere and you have to run the script every time you want to find the tri count. I will post the code here as the i cant find anywhere that hosts it anymore. Maybe the code would give some pointers to people wishing to develop a new version?…
First off, xrg's videos are awesome and a big reason I wanted to pick Blender up and give it a try. kat's tutorials were also helpful for clearing up a few points. I've been trying out Blender for the past couple of days. I think I'm having similar hangups as SHEP did coming from a background using Max. I was foolish at…
