Anyone else here having issues on Windows with Blender taking an eternity to start up (or to open the file dialog if the app is already running) if a network share is not/no longer accessible? I have been dealing with this for years but was hoping it would have been addressed by now - but latest official 2.79b and 2.80…
Following up on this topic (metaballs, remeshing, SDFs) : what are the options currently available beyond the default metaballs and the remesh modifier ? The remesh modifier could be great, but the fact that it cannot be applied to multiple objects at once makes it hardly usable ... Sure enough there has to be some clever…
@MACHIN3 I don't know actually. At work on my windows PC I don't have the terminal running alongside Blender by default. Or not launching it from terminal if you like. I can tell that the terminal that pops up for like a second when I start Blender just had the standard 2 entries, it wasn't outputting a long list of stuff.…
Hey guys, I'm sensing some bullshit here about Blender cycles rendering faster with GPU than CPU. I've made multiples tests and got no convincing return from the settings... I'd even say my GPU runs slower than my CPU.... Edit: Aahh.. after research, I think I understand now. People say AMD cards aren't perfect fit yet for…
It's hard to say. It's a vanilla 2.76b meaning it's the same as the files on the blender site (just with BEPUik added) so it won't have all the latest commits like the graphicall builds do. Maybe the latest graphicall builds have a better new depsgraph but in that case I have no way to test it with my rig anyway. :p You…
What is so user-unfriendly about it? It sounds like you want there to be a "one-click" solution. It's not so hard as you're exaggerating it to be. Download>extract>run. Is that really any less user-friendly than run>find update button>install>restart blender? You get an uncomplicated install without the registry bloat. Are…
I totally see what you mean. As said I personally don't run into these issues, but I can totally understand that there might be situations when things are ambiguous. It's just like a bug in any program - the fact that a given user doesn't run into it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, so I am with you. So from there I…
ok, i was solely refering to the sculpting tools, but thats true, and i use it mostly for smoothing something quickly or making small adjustments thats not the whole truth iam not a programming/tech guru, so i wont make any half true claims whats wrong and why, but there are several videos of people sculpting on 50-100…
I think a subscription type thing might be less controversial if it was run by the developer himself, rather that the Blender Foundation. Of course that would be more of an extended donation system, which encourages exciting prototypes for advanced features and not bug fixing/optimizing/small but essential additions... In…
I understand that, but with libraries it's very much a case of 'if you disagree with our inclusion of the format, take it up with the library provider', don't you think? The removal of psd support was a major step back, and I'd love to get it back, even if I'd only be able to get it in unofficial builds (I rarely run…
