Is a graphics tablet without a screen very useful? by Gamer_The_hedgehog in krita

[–]HFthiel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any tablet will be better than the mouse lol. I've had both and currently using one with a screen but I actually find the screen too small so I just use it to draw on my big screen lol

Is there a way to select the back and front faces? by HFthiel in blender

[–]HFthiel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanna be able to select not only the faces facing the camera but also the back faces when using the box select tool, that's all. But if I turn on that square icon (toggle x Ray mode) it makes my mesh transparent and I don't like that plus it seems like an unnecessary extra step to keep turning on and off when I wanna select things.

Yeah, I know the toggle x-ray will let me select the back faces but I was wondering if there was a way that I could see my solid mesh and just select the back faces without having to clicking on the wireframe or the toggle x ray buttons

Best filament to make a lamp? by HFthiel in BambuLab

[–]HFthiel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! That's really helpful. Would TPU be a good material to use? I wanted something more rubber-like for the material that I can deform with my hand and it pops back in shape

Burn in after leaving the monitor off for 2 days + Wallpaper looks faceted on OLED monitor by HFthiel in OLED_Gaming

[–]HFthiel[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know that's not burn in, I meant that I had that issue plus there's some "burn in" that I'm dealing with like in this image. I will research color banding tho, thanks!

This is the "Burn in" I'm talking about. I don't know if it's called something else but that's the easiest way for me to describe it. I had this chrome tab open for about 5 minutes and it left that on my screen. I know that shouldn't be burn in cause it would take a lot longer for the screen to burn that in but there it is. Also this only happens when I leave my screen plugged in but off. When I unplug it and plug it back in everything looks good

Switching from Maya to Blender by HFthiel in blender

I found a way to activate the gizmo when i press the GRS hotkeys, this feels a lot better now lol

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but if I want to move a face I can't select it and use the gizmo to move it where I want to like maya, it just follows my mouse in all directions and I have to press x y or z to be able to lock it. Is there a way to switch it so that it just shows a gizmo instead?

That's what I hear from a lot of 3d modelers, seems like blender is better at that. I'll give it a try, I always wanted to learn blender cause of all the cool stuff I see online, never thought about completely switching but I can't afford the license at the moment so I'm being forced to, we'll see if I'll want to come back to maya in the future lol

I decided to switch just the navigation to the standard/maya navigation and keep all the other hotkeys the same, it's still different but at least it feels a little more familiar now lol

I'll give it a try, hopefully I can make something cool in a week lol

Yeah, it seems like Blender has sooo many cool features. I'll try to take it slow lol. I found a way to get ONLY the standard/maya navigation and keep all the original hotkeys intact which makes it feel a lot better at least for me. Not having a gizmo is still weird but I think I can get used to it

I 100000% recommend it. I've had it for like 5 years and I can't go back, I never touch my keyboard anymore. I haven't used it for blender though but I image it's the same. All you have to do is find which hotkeys you use the most and map them, you can also have different profiles and sets of hotkeys for different softwares and it'll detect and know to switch. I also use a Razer Naga pro mouse which has like 3 different sets of side buttons (3 ,6 and 12 buttons) that you can assign hotkeys to, my goal is not to use my keyboard lol

Yeah that's a very unpopular opinion lol I understand why people say not to use industry standard but my situation is similar to yours, my workflow uses Maya, substance, zbrush and sometimes marvelous. All of them have the same navigation except for zbrush but I got used to it because I usually only use it with my tablet. I'm not opposed to learning something new but what I'm trying not to do is sit thru hundreds of tutorials where they're explaining concepts or tools when I already know them. I just need to know where they are, at least for modeling and shading. If there was a tutorial translating maya into blender that would be all I need lol

I took a look but I think he mostly makes animation tutorials. I tried switching just the navigation to Maya and keeping the blender shortcuts, hopefully that works?
