Jack's screen shot looks like it could use a visit from my avatar.

[Captain J]

Fixed the top one. The bottom one is intentional.

I've also added a simple little title screen and touch controls if it detects that you're using a smartphone or tablet.

yup, i decorated it with every other people's cradit...it's kinda shameful but it's helped me a lot!

@Captain J: Those screenshots are too large to display on my screen, and putting them in a spoiler makes it impossible to scroll right as well, meaning you actually have to right-click and open the image in a new tab before you can see them, which is highly inconvenient for most users.

Imgur auto-generates thumbnails for you, which are linked on the upload-complete page. You can easily get them by simply adding 's' or 'l' to the end of the filename of the uploaded image, though, which makes things simple. The best way to link big screenshots is to actually show a thumbnail in the [/code]

Note the 'l' right before the .png extension in the URL in the

With this, you can show a proper preview of the screenshot while still allowing users to view the full resolution, which is quite nice. This helps especially when trying to show off something, as a thumbnail is much more likely to catch someone's attention than a spoiler block with some text. Though if you're going to post more than one of them, you're best off using the small thumbnails (add 's' before .png) instead so the thread doesn't get all stretchified in the vertical direction.

how the fuck do i assign a god damn texture in blender?

I swear to god this is making me so angry. I selected my object, created a new material, created a texture... but it doesn't appear in the viewport!

EDIT: inb4

- already uv mapped the object
- assigned material, set specular intensity to 0
- assigned texture
- "textured" mode set in viewport view option

Rendering with F12 does indeed show the texture but I still can't see it in the viewport while editing. In Max, there's a conveniently placed button in the Material editor that says "show texture in viewport".

There are times I'm working on a sculptmap in blender and I've become so lost that I've had to actually quit and restart to keep working on it because either I've made a change to the object that makes it no longer valid for the work I'm trying to do to it or something's out of whack and I can't figure out what I did to it.

[Nash]

Okay I figured it out:

Press N to open the Properties panel. Scroll down and find "Display", expand it, then change "Shading" to GLSL. Why this option had to be so hidden, I will never know.

(BTW there needs to be at least 1 object for this to work... if you have a completely empty scene, you can't find this menu)

Also, procedural textures still aren't shown in real-time. gay

[Ricochet]

It's always puzzled me why the Blender interface is so god awful.

[leileilol]

Then what 3d design program isn't awful?

---

There are none.


Blender's UI isn't "bad", most of the complaints about it comes from users proficient in other 3d tools expecting it to work familiarly, and if it doesn't, then it's implied to be homosexual apparently

I main Blender not because of "too poor for max" but for its "bad" interface, since as an artist it feels very elegant and works well with my tablet, and if an export plugin is regressed in a version, it's already fixable because it's not stuck closed sourced for obsolete versions of 3DSMax you'd have to hoard around. In Blender's case the past releases are always available if you absolutely need them
and then there's that Free Software ideals thing which makes its use suited with my Free Software projects allowing changes to my Free Software-licensed creative works without required to own closed source commercial software..


Some 3dsmax-raised professionals even swear by its interface. Blender used to have a bad reputation on Polycount. Keyword: "used to"

also on the gmax issues, that's got some tight non-commercial usage rights to it. Suggesting long obsolete unsupported software designed for Dungeon Siege and C&C Renegade modding for general use as a substitute for Blender is.... um... like suggesting DoomEd for Windows over SLADE

[Scuba Steve]

It's a shame It uses DeHacked, making my mod incompatible with it (and it's stuff is a pain to reverse engineer).

Ugh, it really is a mess, isn't it.

[Sgt. Shivers]

I tried making a big gun based on the Space Ork Weapons from w40k in anim8or.
Haven't textured it yet.
