Using Frame Number on Blender 3.6.2 Shading Nodes

Special case Shader tab Add -> Input -> Value Then where the number is, float is set to 0.0 initially, type #frame and it will change the value color to look pink, and you will be able to key off frame number. When you change the slider on the Timeline it will change the pinkContinue reading “Using Frame Number on Blender 3.6.2 Shading Nodes”

Blender 3.6.2 Geometry Nodes Thoughts

Note I am still learning Blender 3D and my health is less than ideal thus what I write might be less than ideal as well, trying to be helpful. Geometry Nodes is a slick feature. I have been having trouble understanding the basic flow. It is a little confusing coming from a programming background (IContinue reading “Blender 3.6.2 Geometry Nodes Thoughts”

More Blender 3.6.2 Thoughts

The Asset library with 3D Human Assets is nice, yet when I drag in the Asset I am unable to convert it to a mesh, might be a way to enable this, yet more clicks equals more potential for divest. Make it hard not all future support amplified likely not fully appreciated. Convert to meshContinue reading “More Blender 3.6.2 Thoughts”

Blender 3D 3.6.2 Thoughts

Needs to be a fast way in geometry nodes to run a script based on position of vertices Getting position from points in geometry nodes is difficult, having a way to output each point could be valuable. I realize purpose of geometry nodes is to work with groups of elements, for debugging purposes it wouldContinue reading “Blender 3D 3.6.2 Thoughts”

Free Blender 3D Python Script

I have been working a bit with Python and Blender watching YouTube videos and searching for information on Python Scripting, particularly in Blender. The ability to use Timers could be more intuitive by default. Accessing the Info panels with messages could possibly be easier as well. Here is some information to help others where IContinue reading “Free Blender 3D Python Script”

Innovation Amps Less than Ideally

Clean water is nice. Access to water and water pressure gives access to showers, ability to water lawns, ability to fill pools, and access to clean drinking water. Clean water also enables your enemies to drink and be supported, also allows for the potential of water torture. The bad parts of the system are upsoldContinue reading “Innovation Amps Less than Ideally”

Oppression like Deadlocks

Engineers address real concerns like Resistance, Losses to Heat, Energy Efficiency, and Deadlocks that prevent multicore parallel and concurrent processes. Engineers (at least this Engineer) do not always think about Oppression as a primary Engineering Throughput reducer, yet it has the potential to be a larger problem than all those listed combined. If Oppression wasContinue reading “Oppression like Deadlocks”
