Where did the artist forums go?

Permanent Linkby ImaginaryZ on Sat Dec 01, 2007 2:02 am

Yeah, "Where did the artist forums go?"

I did notice they had been conglomerated into an "Artists Valley", but , when did this happen, and why? For what reason did we make it a more confusing forum?

If it is possible, can I have my thread back? It made searching a breeze, and kept me organized. Which I am going to need. Soon.

Also, it kinda hacks me off. A lot. I'll be really interested to read why this change occured.

Anyways:

Blender Game nonsense is going along interestingly. I'm up to GScript3, which at the moment does:
-Everything Blender Game Engine Does (EBGED!)
-Allows access to mesh, and supports static deformation/editing
-Automatic Run handlers, so the thing is fast and efficient to work with
-TONS of utility it seems to lack (until I add it to Blender itself)
-Armature bone pos-orientation access, iff you have singular verticies, min of 3 per bone
-Add/Del objects (iffy at the moment)
-Some culling
-Shaders

It;s pretty...

Computers/Random

Permanent Linkby ImaginaryZ on Sun Nov 11, 2007 1:28 am

Random Thoughts <warning!>:

Hm. Everything works, my new workstation is as powerful as needed... (though just two days ago I got a special deal for a PC twice as good as mine for 400$... damn you tiger direct! <3 they sold out 30 minutes later of course) yay. I love shaders. About 220 full dragons at once is nice, compared to my previous 60... though, I expected more performance.

However, THIS computer ( the internet box ) needs to go. Which, is my only means of internet communication. Since I will still need to do PHP development, it should still be able to host temporary files.

Though, this change requires a heavy consolidation of my work and data, which is being done at this moment, so...

I've pretty much nixed RP-ing for a while. I get nothing out of it anymore (even really good ones!) since I'm closer to getting some pretty nice things working.

Right now Blender is being totally awesome, though I am going to have to join their team and fix a few little things...

Out with the old, in with the new

Permanent Linkby ImaginaryZ on Fri Nov 02, 2007 12:47 am

All my PC have died. So, I have purchased a new system. It has been over 5 years since I purchased a new PC... apparently, Hard drives have a half life of about 5 years (if continually operated)

Total System Specifications:

Memory: 2 GB DDR2 800Mhz (PC6400) RAM
Space: 250 GB SATA-II Seagate 7200.10 RPM harddrive
GFX: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT / 512MB DDR2 / SLI Ready / DVI / VGA / HDTV
Speed: 2.33 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo FSB 1333Mhz socket 775
Media: Built in 8 channel audio card, TV out, USB 2.0, Gigabit LAN, SLi ready, Firewire, RAID, no TV tuner/reciever,
Power: 500W Ultra, 120mm Fan (classic, not modular, 24 & 8 pin ATX)
Size: Mid-Tower, ATX form factor
OS: None

NO: Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, OS, capture card, 3D Goggles, DVD RW drive

(all of which I already have)
~700 $ @ TigerDirect

So, it'll be a nice machine! Most importantly is the fact Blender can use OpenGL 2.0 shaders realtime, so I can draw bumpmaps/normalmaps on the fly (which is really fun)...

Progress is slow!

Permanent Linkby ImaginaryZ on Wed Aug 15, 2007 12:28 am

Goodness, it has been a while since I posted last. O_o

Well, I'm still me! Thankfully. Have a good job now, my life is finally in order...

Interesting thing, I decided to take... ... >.< oh darn, I can't seem to search the blogs! You know who you are, thanks for posting that "I challenge you!" bit about trying out being healthier. But yes, I decided to research it, and have been on a 'diet' (a voraphile on a diet?!?!) for 3 weeks now. The results are strange:
I can no longer eat nearly as much (stomach shrunk)
I have at least 4x the amount of energy (never tired, always powered)
I am always starving. >.< (massive constant hunger pains)
I always need to be eating something! (carrots, fruits, 0 sat or trans fat baked lays or triscuits with hummus, 0 simple sugars if possible)
I am much stronger (no 'diet' works without exercise! min. 1 hr a day full body workout)
and, as lame as it sounds, I 'feel' better, except when my roommates tempt me with...
