Lord Justice: Jul 24, 2012; "This god whom I created was human-made and madness, like all gods! Woman she was, and only a poor specimen of woman and ego. But I overcame myself, the sufferer; I carried my own ashes to the mountains; I invented a brighter flame for myself. And behold, then this god fled from me!"

I've also gone into trying to learn Blender, using the tutorial channel linked earlier and managed to make a few things:

An attempt trying to follow the creation steps by memory right afterward:

Also tried to get some fluid in a cup without any specific instructions, more or less managed it after an hour:

I am 100% on board with this thread when I get back home

i used to spend hours loving around with trial versions of truespace and pirated 3dsmax back in like 2000

I remember doing 3d renders of a desk I was making for a woodwork project and the teacher was like "you did this.... On a computer..... "

lol

is blender decent out of the box now or does it still require a poo poo-ton of work to get it configured correctly.

last time i touched it was like sometime in 2005

it is significantly better now. still a good learning curve, and some UI
choices are average, although some
are very good indeed

from a new install i make a couple configuration changes

colour scheme
turn on antialiasing in view por
those the main ones I think

you can set up �spaces� so the UI is different for different tasks and i don�t care for the built in ones so i also change those but i used it for years before discovering the point of that

ok now i got a question

how do i made all these vertices level, specifically matching the Z position of the one indicated by the red arrow?

also, how do I add a new vertice along the edge indicated by the blue arrow?

this guy's tutorials are the best. he uses a somewhat current version and doesn't go insane with the shortcuts

also the first thing I did was change select to LMB instead of RMB

the next cool thing to learn is the node editor for materials.

the "hardest" part about this is getting into the node editor. youll notice down the bottom left hand corner of the window is a wee icon that looks like a 3d cube. thats indicating that you that window is in the 3d editor window. you can turn that window into any function in blender, and if you click it you can change it to the node editor

there's also a decently capable video editor buried in there if you're into that

hmm hitting space in blender gives you a universal search but i believe content based so can only offer what you can do so hit space and type align?? i would try that. or hit ctrl-v to bring up the vertices menu (without edit)

now vertices... hmm if you had two
vertices selected that are joined, hit ctrl e for the edges menu and hit �subdivide� that�ll work but maybe more efficient way i bet

hope that works it�s all from memory haven�t
checked if i told ya the right things

are you following tutorials?

I could probably learn a lot by doing so.. I have 0 (zero) patience for watching youtube tutorials because people speak so slowly, and no one seems to make written tutorials

I want to learn how to write a colour shader.. I want to create a blackbody colour shader.

blender (or cycles) has one built in, but it only reproduces colour and not power.. the one in ue4 produces power too.. because as you increase the temperature you dont just change the colour but the output, and we're creating light in a true full dynamic range fashion where poo poo blows out etc.. so I am mega disappoint with the built in one but now I need to learn how to write something, and frankly I think if I could learn python/blender I could create even more specific trash :smug:

once I had a screen sharing seshion with this dude http://admiralpotato.tumblr.com/ he was friendly and insisted his real name is admiral potato and I learnt things from him which was a bit like a tutorial

in fact him teaching me about one of the functions in the node editor is what spurred me onto making the rainbow
