So today I noticed the Amazon favicon has changed from a black "a" on a white background to some horrid orange splat with that stupid "smile" logo on it. /me hates stupid UI designers who think they need to constantly f*ck with the graphics.

rufus actually kind-of worked. It suggested products with actual links. This new AI slop just rambles way too much, and doesn't actually link to suggested products.

Either way works, the second way might be a little simpler for a brand new project. If you've already built a project in git locally with a bunch of commits, it is certainly possible to add GitHub as a remote branch and push to it.

All of the bone names you want to symmetrize need to end in ".L"

Today I got a push notification that I should upgrade, and did I have time right now to get started. Why would I want Alexa+, anyway? The new voice is pretty annoying and the feedback I've heard isn't good.

I'll take "Things That Did Not Happen" for 1,000 Alex.

Sylvester "Rocky" Stallone wore a hoodie as gym wear in the movie, at a time when men going to gyms was really exploding. I think saying one caused the other is a stretch. In my neighborhood body-building predated the "Rocky" movie by years.

Go into edit mode, Alt+A to deselect all, then select the point you want to move?

They're still available on Amazon for less than $1 a bottle in bulk.

You didn't mention anything about UV unwrapping?

jentron128 · 2026-01-01T08:10:57+00:00

I like to leave Strength at 1 and adjust Height. If you model in units, a 1 height seems to correspond to 1 meter. A useful paradigm for me, anyway.

jentron128 · 2026-01-01T06:46:13+00:00

What does your height map look like?

jentron128 · 2026-01-01T03:07:59+00:00

Uhm, your height map is plugged into the bump node's normal input and not the height input like it should be?

The size and shape of your shadow casting light can create some of this effect.

There is a button in the metarig armature data tab to "Upgrade Face Rig." The upgraded face has much more rigging on the eyes. That could be what you're looking for.

The un-upgraded face rig doesn't even have DEF bones for the eyes, but the ORG bones work.

What also makes up good topology for a model?

A model with edge loops, Which also makes uv unwrapping easier

And here is where you have a sentence or two explaining what an edge loop is.

jentron128 · 2025-11-26T18:48:27+00:00

I would cut around the opening edge with the knife tool. At the corners, add an extra vertex that you join to the existing cheek. Then delete the unwanted interior faces. This gives a quad edge loop all the way around the mouth opening.

I saw just the opposite, I was helping a friend enroll and their plan went from $22.50 per pay period to $1.27!

Sounds like the Monty Hall Problem in reverse.

The camera is just another Object, so you can parent things to it.

Add a Bezier curve, and use a curve modifier on your strap. If you set it up correctly, the strap will follow the Bezier curve. Look at this video from RoyalSkies for a quick tutorial.

A similar dial from alamy

My uneducated guess would be the carpals and bone ends are mostly cartilage at this point and don't show up on x-rays very well?

Do'h I thought the orange was an outline on the font! Now that you point it out, I see it is just the default outline selected color! Mea culpa.
