Blender 3.6.2 Thoughts on September 25th, 2023

Feedback factors into a better product

Seems like there is always something missing that leads to need to use work arounds. Possible does not always equal easily possible. It does have the ability to inspire greater intelligence and creativity by forcing work arounds, it also has the potential to drive time losses in substantial ways, potentially enable a subset of people that work with the product to actually get results they desire.

If 90% of people that learn and work with Maya get the results they want, but only 20% of people that learn and work with Blender 3D get the results they want, that will drive less desire to invest with tools, time, money, and resources in Open Source Projects. Open Source Projects to Less for the World is only a temporary situation usually, add in time plus governments not always being ideal oppression out, open source projects have the ability to be driven over time to create better, and when things are missing, like if a government takes pieces out of particular peoples products, that will become more noticable over time.

Less fair and Less justice factors into who gets results and who does not have the capacity to deliver. That factors into who has the potential to pay medical bills and who does not. That factors into who has the potential to generate parts like Water Pumps or Medical Devices like Pacemakers in the future. Less of a headstart now factors into exponential losses to support in the future.

I have been in the Computer Industry for a long time. And problems that happened when I was in College in 2003 still seem to be a problem in 2023 if not more of a problem. With advances in Supercomputing claimed as next breakthroughs this gives feeling of very bad deal. This means that companies and corruption, oppression from governments is driving capacity in detrimental ways, ways that if known in advance might lead to wholesale divestment from fields like medicine, law, and engineering.

Money and Oppressive Power drives who gets results and who does not in society Does NOT give the feeling of ideal Throughput, Throughput that I want for Future Generations of Mankind on this planet.

If my health was not being leveraged, if my resources and talent was not being stifled I would be able to, would have invested more in Projects like Blender 3D. I feel like God effectively appreciates and protects investment in trying to make this World better? No. Bad results, repeated, factors into Bad Results repeated.

Oppression factors into Direction, into Work Arounds. Those changes in Direction and Work Around are real time losses, that are likely Compounding Support Losses on a Global Scale that reduces Throughput in Significant Ways for the Future. We are giving future generations the best chance at survival, the best chance of not winding up in corrupt jails, best chance of living an inspired, blessed, encouraged, and joyful life? No. Change is possible, Change has a tendency for not delivering.

I have a chart that says 8 Forms of Waste, #1 on it should be Oppression, but it is not. Might be worth changing. Of course if there was 9 forms, that might not be all Villain Contrast and Oppression out as well. Real potential for being upsold to other meanings of a 9 in this world. Real Gains thought easy to incredibly hard and require massive levels of funding with more ideal oversight not always a known. Funding alone might make things better then worse. Oversight is critical and not easy to ideally inspire.

I would want a World with no Blender 3D and less open source projects? No. I would want a World with Less Oppression? Yes. Good results factors into time invested in Positive Paths. A tool that is a pleasure to use that generates real results factors into desire to continue on posititve paths. Invest allot of time in Work that never pans out has the potential to drive desire for drinking, that is not ideal value added. Computing, Engineering, and Science is far less than ideally encouraging and inspiring. For every person that wins a Nobel Prize, there are many more that don’t. Only valued for greater output really ideal for future generations? Companies desire us to buy their product, but do they really give the feeling of desire us to be successful? Success factors into greater potential to purchase products in the future, likely not always fully pondered.

Better tools for Artists has potential to lead to More Artists. Not everyone is equipped to make music with no musical instruments so to speak. More Artists could equal less investing time in War or Drugs and Alcohol. Far from a guarantee that all Artists will produce ideal peacefulness in society. There are many paths outside of art that are far from peace added. Positive Paths not ideally fostered in society has high potential for leading to many lost to corruption and oppression both in the system and in society over time, unlikely to be fully factored into Risk Mitigation.


Feedback feels like it is being truly heard and factored in, 2023? No. Likely been the same story for many years not always talked about, I know in my life God has seemed to deliver less than ideally based on feedback for many years. Results achieved in the Past factor into potential seen in the future. Lack of progress factors into reduced appreciation and inspiration.

I don’t mean to take Gains from the Progress that has been made. I also don’t think I am getting 20 years worth of potential and gains, especially from Exascale level of Supercomputing. There is gap, the size of the Grand Canyon so to speak in what has been possible and what has been delivered. Gives feeling the Gains might be real, but only delivered to a more valued part of the population.

Experts time, health, resources, and inspiration being robbed on the common in 2023 and years before. This factors into the amount of Encouragement, Hope, and Support available on this days and days in the future. People are likely hurt in ways that will lead to crimes, suicide, evil, and corruption by default in the way society has been amplifying. Factor that into Risk Mitigation seems wiser than the alternative. The combo is likely to victimize the future, is likely to lead to less than ideal High Voltage signs and bridges maintained in society over time. Given the input I have received, More Problems like Flint Michigan are not only possible, but likely Probable.

Blender 3.6.2 Geometry Nodes

Tried to create a repetitive geometry for skyscrapers that allows a random number to generate number of floors on the building for city topology. Seems random node will not work to set the count field on a mesh that is used as Instance on Instance on Points Node. Have a basic line that goes vertical. I want to add that line with various different random lengths, with more points for longer lengths that will be run into another instance on points node that will turn those vertical points into floors on buildings.

Instances on points is useful, currently feel like I can only use one instance type which is limiting, would be nice to be able to generate a random array based upon a set of instance types. A grid of points, able to alternate between different instances is less than straightforward through nodes. If I wanted to alternate different instances on robotic links (have a special design every other node) I am not sure how I would manage that. Duplicate Geometry is less than straightforward as well.

I am trying to accomplish the following pseudocode in Blender 3D 3.6.2

For each point in a mesh
generate a vertical Z line with random number of points

I can generate something similar by hand, but it would be nice to be able to programmatically create different length lines, as will be fed into to another instance on point node that will replace the points with an instance. Thus the line could look like 9 4 3 7 (two longer lines on outside), then when rerendered will have 9 instances on the normal of first point, 4 instances on the normal of the second point, 3 instances on the normal of the third point, and then 7 instances on the normal of the fourth point.

Generating programmatic geometry should be easier in my opinion. Should be a way to add scripts like the pseudocode above to a custom geometry node.

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 pink value, so if on frame 50 will show 50 in value, 100 will show 100, 150 will show 150 etc.

A little confusing that it is a special value. It is also possible to store Frame Number or Seconds from Scene Time Geometry Node and Store Attribute, then pulling the attribute from Attribute on Shader Tab.

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 (I have worked mainly with Java and Object Oriented Languages).

Working with an array of values, vertices and meshes versus individual values takes a bit of getting used to. Separating out a particular point is not very straightforward and intuitive at least from my comprehension.

If I have a basic planar mesh, and I want to make all values where x greater than 0 higher than the others I have to go through a few steps. If one has a Geometry Input they would need to run it through a Set Position Node before the Geometry Output. This is the function needed but that does not allow special cases (like x>0) by default. Thus the user has to work backward a bit. The need to use a Input Position Node which is kind of like a variable or placeholder that will be later used by that same Set Position Node.

From Position Node the XYZ component can be extracted via Separate XYZ node (Menu: Add -> Utilities -> Vector -> Separate XYZ). That provides an output of X, Y, Z that have the ability to be modified. When X>0 then Z=1 else Z=0 can be created via compare and float switch. The result value can be then attached to a Combine XYZ (Menu: Add -> Utilities -> Vector -> Combine XYZ) x to x, y to y, and result of compare and switch to Z. The combined XYZ can then be directed into Position Input of Set Position.

For programmers it might be helpful (at least in my opinion) to think about the system as using tokens that are evaluated at a later point in time when using the Input nodes, versus actual inputs. If I were to plug this combination into another node it would be working on different positions, and since there is no input to the Position Input node comprehension is less than straight forward.

Added a file here: https://github.com/jasonldavis-tech/WorksInProgressBlender/blob/main/GeometryNodesModifyMeshPositions.blend

Programming usually common to think of a method having all inputs on the method. In this case it is more like a future method will need to perform these operations on X,Y,Z once X,Y,Z inputs (provided from a Geometry, Mesh, Curve, or Points) are available. Like writing a generic filter to be used later, rather than evaluating and modifying inputs inline.

Kind of expected more of a Geometry Nodes to Vertex Position approach thus making comprehension a bit less intuitive. Mesh Data includes edges and faces that is more than just the points that is less than straightforward from my own point of view.

Might be a bit due to a different way of thinking. Programming usually one takes the data looping over it changing values. Programming with Nodes is encapsulated functionality, node tree can grow or shrink in the same area. One can do the same with programming, adding more lines or less lines in a loop function, just seems like it has the potential to change more with node based approach. Like using a callback function or passing an object to call a method on later.

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 mesh is disabled under Object menu.

Marking Mesh as Asset in Blender File is possible, I think this is workable yet I am not a lawyer, and the legal system, society in general has a bit of a propensity for not doing right by artists. Licensed under https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/

My version appears to being hacked on top of all this.

Working on my sculpting, watching some videos on YouTube. Created the following blend file

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 would be useful to see individual points. Currently working on trying to create a stitching pattern on a t-shirt like object. Translation for instances works in some cases but in some cases scaling down or offset is dependent upon the current edge. Edges can face inside of mesh yet be in directly opposite directions. Think of trying to outline a maze from a top down view with lines and two walls of the maze are attached, outline requires moving line inside yet that is in opposite directions for both sides of the wall.

The way the Compare node on Geometry Nodes seems to be counterintuitive. I add two integers and add them to the compare node, trying to control adding to a vector if one integer is greater than the other yet controlling the flow is not easy. I can multiply by a vector, yet that is confusing, vectors have 3 dimensions yet booleans are a single value. Boolean true multiplied by x=1, y=1, z=1 carries all values forward yet that is confusing when input shows x,y,z and then takes a boolean.

Making what is single value, versus what is an array of values seems like it could be more perceivable. Unable to perceive difference easily factors into lack of comprehension at least for self. Geometry output is a Circle, and Integer Output is a Circle, and Vector output is a diamond, a bit confusing by default in my opinion.

Ability to name nodes, possibly give a description would be nice as well. Compare less than or greater than has context based on the diagram though not all straightforward comprehension. Compare Less than versus named
“Compare when x<0”, more descriptive naming could help. Has potential for getting confusing with vectors, because you have to create and add vector, then multiply the vector against a boolean, thus the node tree grows a bit larger when doing special case work such as when an item is above or less than a value changing the system.

Easy ability to create a generator script as input node would be nice, could be added to templates. Example translate x+=1,y+=1,z+=1 over 100 frames, could work like the scene time input.

Access to quality tools will factor into who gets to capitalize on 3D Rendering and 3D printing in the future. Blender limited has potential to lead to those with money, that have the money to pay for higher cost software to profit a few at the cost of many, kind of the general way this World and a capitalist system seems to work by default at times. I both like Software Programmers getting paid (I am one, that has invested heavily in open source and haven’t had sufficient funds to help my mother in a critical time, feels defeating, monstrous) and I also don’t like the idea of a few in society utilizing systems like logic, reason, law, and computers for the profit of a few at the cost of many.

Technical Elite Aristocracy is potentially possible, people less than Eistein set to less valuable, less valuable to keep alive seems monstrous.

Blender 3D can be used to create models that help facilitate blueprints for houses. Blender 3D can be used to create models for parts like Water Pumps that factor into access to clean water cheaply or leveraged by a select set of companies. Engineering, Reason, and Logic is claimed as helps create a better World, a better society, yet Standards, Bars, Levels that are acceptable not always set.

Claims as not wasting time, not limiting better in the World, really not all true value added. Faster problems are fixed, factors into more time for fixing problems. God of infinite power gives feeling of delivers desire to make humanity warmer, happier, more equipped for each day? Output from Heaven could be greater, less than all genocide and gas chambers over time seems like precedent for less than sufficient value allowed.

I have desired to make the World a better place, but I have been limited over and over, had projects and my life derailed time after time. If God actually wanted humanity to suffer less, wouldn’t He protect me better? Justice in a World that limits support needs to install Justice for the support limiting, true value out perceived and comprehended unlikely equals unlikely to be able to deliver square deal, fair justice.

Just added a work in progress https://github.com/jasonldavis-tech/WorksInProgressBlender/blob/main/Rain.blend based on geometry nodes

Needs splashes, turbulence, and gravity physics.

Trying to associate a capture attribute on the Z value of the generated Rain drops. Then apply that using age (basically frame of instance) and having trouble. Hard to capture individual values for each point based on initial conditions using capture attribute then filter into Simulation Node. Trying to do something similar to what I am seeing on https://www.blender.org/download/releases/3-6/ simulation nodes video, yet setting the initial conditions for input value is not capturing. Thus some drops are already closer to ground, desire to have their age values set to less initially thus they splash out quicker than ones that are placed higher using the random points.

Updated

https://github.com/jasonldavis-tech/WorksInProgressBlender/blob/main/Rain.blend

Now removes drops on 100th frame, desire to remove drops on different frames based on their initial position in the animation. If I attach a random value to the subtract value in the simulation it does not work as expected. Should subtract a random value between 0 and 1 over each frame and just removes all the geometry on the second frame.

20 years of new computing power does not equal what I would expect from 20 years of work. Likely some bad actors reducing support in not fully appreciated ways. Investing in new processors when Software is allowed to amp like jade? Kind of gives feeling of being robbed.

Everyone to realize they are getting 5% of the value they are promised when buying? System that allows oppression is allot of jade, allot of wasted time.

God cares about people having effective tools, cares about their success in supporting one another seems to amplify less than sufficiently. High amount of jade in that. Limiting of support factors into momentum for those that write laws less than sufficiently, those that run society, those that put labels on people and put people in Jail, all funded based on funding that is being robbed from cycles I and many others helped pay for and invested in.

Just updated,

https://github.com/jasonldavis-tech/WorksInProgressBlender/blob/main/Rain.blend

Shows the bug if you move the subtract in simulation to use random node, instead of generating a different random value for each instance it just removes them all on the second frame.

Future seen as not limited out of the gate seems unwise. I would be helping with the code if I was not oppressed, if my input was valued more.

Just added a bench, a 3 seater sofa, and a 2 seater sofa to the Free 3D Assets set.

https://github.com/jasonldavis-tech/Free3DAssets.git

Added the following file

https://github.com/jasonldavis-tech/WorksInProgressBlender/blob/main/CharacterRigging.blend

Trying to work with Armature and default weight painting seems to be less than ideal.

September 19th, 2023

A reminder to self that output is less than ideal not all value out.

Further, create a Free Set of 3D Assets for use with Blender – Assets tab feature really cool, likely some amazing things that can be done with Geometry nodes and Assets tab. I created a Repeat 10 Cubes Asset that makes repeating objects simpler, just take the cube and replace with appropriate geometry (while maintaining the geometry nodes modifier). Kind of neat to be able to see geometry editing in editing mode be duplicated live. 10 Count is default, count number can be changed on geometry nodes tab (Blender 3.6.2 and 3.6.1 is the versions I have been using). Useful for taking objects like houses and replicating many on a street or other repetitive uniform rendering many times seen in designs.

https://github.com/jasonldavis-tech/Free3DAssets.git

Also added a 3D Axis, got this idea from an awesome video I watched on Geometry Nodes (reminder I, the writer of this vlog not the one on the following video).

The 3D Axis makes seeing the spin and twist on the curve much easier, very useful for emphasizing how directions change.

I also provided some of the files I have been working on, some are created in the learning process thus I have labeled them sequentially, 1,2,3,4… etc.

https://github.com/jasonldavis-tech/WorksInProgressBlender

Some ideas around using solar panels to pump water into higher level storage tanks then using the hydro power they generate via falling then having solar pump it back up thus utilizing green energy all the way through and having capacity on demand so to speak. Sounds like already thought of.

High Volume requirements and High Height requirements equal less than ideal for small applications at least from what I understand via the following video:

Continuing work learning Blender today, watch a pretty Amazing Video on Simulation Nodes on Blender.org

One of the Free 3D Assets in Works in Progress is a shoe. I have been trying to figure out how to add stitching patterns (open circles) around the edge of a curve or mesh using geometry nodes. One of the ideas I have is potentially a 3D printed shoe company that gives one pair free to people in need for every pair sold.

New shoes are powerful, tools that are nice to use factor into use. A Fitbit and a nice pair of tennis shoes that are nice to use factors into more potential for my own choice to walk more and do more cardio. If you live to 70 might wish you could have invested in more steps when you are 30, thus if you are 30 today might be a worthwhile challenge to invest 10,000 steps early for your 70 year old self.

Watched this video a few weeks ago and there was a charity event at a kickboxing gym in Rhode Island that inspired

Also created a 3D State Machine Diagram inspired by the following videos as well as some of my work with diagrams

The 3D State Machine that has emissive borders and transparency looks pretty cool with the Holy Light effect from Video Guru (Video Editor) on Android. Have some renders I would like to provide but GitHub has a 100 mb limit. Actually the renders are not that big thus I am committing the files to GitHub right now.

There is some work on water pipe and pump 3D assets inspired a bit by Water Wells created by International Red Cross and ideas for greater clean water accessibility for the World as well as videos on pumped hydro and water desalination.

Also added some work on Electricity, Molecules, 3D motors, Superconductors, and Electrical Induction inspired by YouTube videos on the subjects.

Was also looking for ideas on designing a better water propeller and found an interesting video on Toroidal propellers. Also some designs inspired a bit by a video on Air Turbines.

Physics simulation better could help generate more potential for Energy Efficient design.

There is a Render of a Table and a Scale (Thoughts of Scale of Justice) and a law study library. Inspired a bit by thoughts of Suits, 48 Hours, and videos I have watched about Defense Law. I am anti death penalty and anti oppressive Jails denoted by the higher scale on the left. Lift is nice.

Find out you leave someone innocent in Jail for years because of bad evidence, or decisions made on limited funding and increased throughput is likely not all lift added. At least the thoughts I would have though not a judge, not a lawyer.

Also created an MRI Machine render, thoughts inspired by several videos on how MRI machines work and a Free Anatomy textbook from Openstax.org.

I have video read through of multiple parts of the anatomy text book that I would be providing on YouTube, but currently account is blocked. Easy to not think about a YouTube account like Water, or utilities, but what if it is in this day and age?

Having a video of what has been read through facilitates more re-reads and energy in the system (going at a faster speed) from my experience.
