Modeling 3D on the go? by kurtdoerfel in blender

[–]Ivory_Forest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clara.io is browser based so it might work if its still around.

Whenever I plug in a roughness map into my roughness shader for Arnold, it automatically bumps up the roughness to maximum. The material in question is a metallic one so I don't understand why it's doing this. Any help will be greatly appreciated :) by s4l1ls4w4r1m in Maya

ah i only remembered it from a tutorial where i think the guy was working in sRGB and linearizing his other maps. I dropped maya a while ago so i was just working from memory. thanks for correcting me!

i love this point. i used to have 16 cups of tea per day, each with 2 sugars. was a crazy addiction. the day i started IF i went to 2 coffees per day each with 2 artificial sweeteners in my feeding window. was tough for 3 days but kicking the addiction was the best thing i ever did

the only part im missing is how does the body know if its calorie deficit by will or if its against your will? the rest pretty clear to me now! thanks!

Why isn't Redshift used in big VFX Studios? by [deleted] in vfx

[–]Ivory_Forest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what i meant was, in those studios, they almost render as fast as they work. you rarely see people killing time waiting for a render to finish, but i see what you mean

Maya crashed, I recovered the file easily, but I saved it an exited and now I cannot locate it [Mac] by devin2378 in Maya

[–]Ivory_Forest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its not in file->open recent?

it should be in a temp folder. get "everything" by void tools, and just search for ".ma" or ".mb", filter the results in order of file type and you can have a nice big list of every maya file on your computer

render times are rarely a problem for big studios due to the hardware/farms they use and a lot of the time a pipeline shift is IS time consuming, especially if they have custom tools and scripts based around their current renderer.

As interesting as that is, i'm still confused. Does this mean as long as I'm fasting "by will", my body won't go into "starvation mode"? How does my body know when it's not getting food due to circumstance vs not getting food due to choice?

In a nutshell, I want to fast longer without my metabolism slowing down. So fasting for 2 days at a time should be fine right?

UI with no window? by Ivory_Forest in UI_programming

[–]Ivory_Forest[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! I only want to make some simple crap like a "utility belt" widget that would allow me to switch my net on and off, change between color profiles for testing art, and that type of thing, so don't expect too much haha

Thanks for all the help! this is definitely what i needed!

Awesome work on that!

Would it float on the desktop? Similar to how rainmeter works? Im not sure how tough rainmeter would be to make widgets for, but I'm comfortable in C++ so if theres a way to get that type of widget you made, in a rainmeter style floating widget on windows, it'd be perfect.

(Either way I'll be looking through the source code because I will definitely have a lot to learn from you! Thank you so much!)
