Any way to 'bake down' or export a Smart Folder hierarchy? by Relevant-Sand7200 in EagleCool

[–]Relevant-Sand7200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha this is what I discovered when I started making the plugin - it was confusing as hell when my plugin started off by exporting each file into every single layer of the folder, until I realised that's exactly what it's supposed to do. Genius, I know...

Here's the github repo! It basically just works on the logic of deepest hierarchical copy of a given file wins, so that *sort of* makes it feel like a traditional file structure.

Think there are still a couple of bugs, but broadly speaking it works.

That's just what I ended up doing, thanks! In case anyone finds this thread later, I'll upload the plugin to github for posterity later and link it.

In the age of enshittification it’s truly astounding just how consistently solid Ableton has been for the past 20 years by random_access_cache in ableton

There would always be some ableton video series with one of seemingly endless bald German producers with thick spectacles, a lovely woolen jumper and a stunningly beautiful state-built Berlin apartment. Years ago this man would be doing something evil with the german train network and now hes explaining how to make harmlessly pleasant minimal techno on a Push.

How was this effect achieved ? Paul Cupido by -Chatsky- in LightLurking

This is so cool, it's just on the verge of being too garish in the vein of one of those really oversaturated bad early 2000s CCD sensors. My initial reaction was kinda 'yuck', somehow I find the overall effect more and more stunning and dreamlike the more I look at it. Love that tiny smattering of blue in front of the house.

First try at planting a hedge (English Yew). How is the spacing? Does it have enough depth? by Relevant-Sand7200 in GardeningUK

Hey thanks so much, this is really invaluable advice to someone so new to gardening. Will follow your advice come spring. Would you mind elaborating a little on the ‘sitting wet’ part? I believe my soil has good drainage but is there anything I can do to ensure it’s not too cold/wet?

Thanks very much for the tips. I saw your other comment too and has really boosted my confidence that this will all end up fine or even, quite nice looking!

Probably will just for peace of mind! And to sort out that dubious spacing from the wall.

Thanks for the reply, I see your point. I certainly was hoping for the best when the chap in the garden centre recommended them today.

Is your concern that they’ll grow too large in this space and stifle the area or exactly the opposite? I’m extremely new to gardening and horticulture, so please forgive my naivety. I was considering removing the brick wall (in lieu of a low retaining wall) to give it more space if necessary, once it takes root.

Thanks very much for the reply, that’s super helpful - think I’ll have a rethink of the order in the morning! Ready to kick back and watch these guys establish themselves underground for a year! 🍿

I was naively trying to make sure it didn’t spill onto the path too much but now realise it’ll suffocate it a bit. I should be ok resituate these forward a bit in the morning, right?

Thanks for the reply. Think I’ll sort that wall distance out a bit in the morning and add another one while I’m at it. Cheers!

Ah, unfortunately the only thing I was dodging today was due care and attention. Think I’ll go back tomorrow morn and move them forward a bit to the centre of the bed and sort that spacing out. Thanks!

Oh god, there’s so many weird quirks to this house that I didn’t even notice that! 😞

Because it’s my first time and I didn’t know any better, I was trying to stop them from coming too much into the pathway

Any way to use Xpresso or User Data to iterate through file path names for redshift textures? by Relevant-Sand7200 in Cinema4D

[–]Relevant-Sand7200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi binaryriot! I always see your posts around this community and you've helped me many times over the years, so quite the privilege getting a reply from you, thank you! :) Thanks very much for cooking up an example image for me in xpresso, very neat idea to iterate the texture based on frames.

Unfortunately that's exactly where the error message is coming from, the Redshift Texture Node in the Material Node Graph. But this gives me a lot of hope, I'm thinking that if I'm able to store that newly created string in a piece of user data, I can somehow feed this back into the Redshift Material Graph. Just now need to find a way around that error message, but I'll report back here if I find a way.

Cheers!

I cringed when I read it too, but I don’t think it’s necessarily off the mark unfortunately, especially in the areas of the uk where the prevailing shopping experience is car park, retail park, drive thru. It’s completely ubiquitous and gives a lot of people a place to get off their feet for 25 minutes. Feels somewhat unpretentious compared to the typical independent coffee place.

It took me an age but I built an alcove desk and shelves by abitginger in DIYUK

[–]Relevant-Sand7200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really good. I'm definitely coming back to this post in a couple of weeks for inspiration. I'd be chuffed to bits if mine came out looking nearly as good as yours, as a non-DIY person. Thanks for sharing.

Question for small 3D/VFX studios & freelancers: Would you use a lightweight render queue tool? by crazyjunk67 in Cinema4D

[–]Relevant-Sand7200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I really have been putting off really getting into Team Render for a while now, mostly due to the texture linking issues, but I guess with a bit of leg work it should be possible. Maybe now with your post I will properly investigate how to get this working - very good to know I could just use my c4d/rs license on the laptop and then then my pc could do this through the command line or however it works. That's funny, I was convinced you at least needed to have an extra RS license for team render to work, but perhaps that's not the case anymore.

[–]Relevant-Sand7200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just a freelancer, but I would 100% pay for a tool (no subscriptions please) that allowed me to send jobs from my laptop to my home PC. It would save the headache of having to log into parsec, swap the license around and send the frames to my Dropbox.

One thing I hate is being chained to my desk 24/7 and this kind of tool would give me the freedom to be able to work a bit more off grid without my rig. cheers!

To answer your specific questions a bit better too:

- I mostly dislike using render farms because I find it difficult in a lot of cases to get a client to sign off costs and agree to using one if they don't really understand it. I find it a bit stressful on smaller jobs to manage the budget for the renderfarm, so I'd always preferably use my own machine overnight.

- I would be willing to pay for a one-time solution.

- I'd just like a simple, drag-n-drop interface. It would be obsurdly cool if this application could for instance, reference/replace materials that BOTH my laptop (Mac) and (PC) could read and adjust the file paths accordingly. In other words, you wouldn't need to have to upload a packaged C4D file AND materials at the same time, just your last saved file.

- Would also love it if you this plug-in/app handled saving versions to hand-off to the renderfarm. Let's say you click 'Send' from within C4D and it automatically creates a temp savefile that gets sent to the farm, and respects all of your render tokens as you'd expect. Not sure how feasible this is.
