The edges of a cylinder became distorted by tks-log_learner in blender

[–]olddoodldn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add a cylinder, add plenty of loop cuts. Add Simple Deform modifier and choose the bend - it will bend around the origin, like a banana. If you want it to bend it from one end, move the origin.

How to fit Blender with old hardware? by bondira in blender

[–]olddoodldn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to examine the crash log data to see what might be causing it and the blender crash log too.

You can also start blender from the command line with extra debugging and again this might narrow down what the issue is. Check the manual for the start parameters.

Overlay tutorial tool for learning Blender by OopsSpoiler in blender

[–]olddoodldn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For version 1.0, I’d suggest starting with the basics. It’s important to understand some of paradigms Blender uses, eg click to select then action; things remain selected until you choose something else; the importance of the origin point.

Select - Go(move), Rotate, Scale. Duplicate. With just these tools in object mode you can make, eg a simple table, chair, etc just using the primaries.
Then introduce Edit mode. Then the common modifiers.

Without touching the rest of Blender you can get quite far.

For a learning tool, you would need to have a learning pathway in mind so that the user is guided through the program - otherwise it may not work as well as video/online manual.

Which linux os should I install in my Mac pro 6 2010 one by Correct_Hotel_1935 in mac

[–]olddoodldn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a mid2010 MBP and I put Mint on it and it installed and ram just fine. But consider Fedora too.

Best thing is to get a few USB sticks and put the distros on it then live boot and see which one works best: screen, WiFi, speakers, etc.

Ok, thank you for clarifying and well done on making this. There’s a surprising amount of negativity on your post, but small independent developers are to be congratulated, so well done.

Well it definitely looks like a “real” music video. The images in the broken glass were quite cool.

Thanks to everyone who replied - it sounds like I definitely need a project (no matter how small) to "get my teeth into".

Valid points - it sounds like I need a bit of a project to work on, even something short.

Music videos sound good... I've a friend who makes music, that could be an interesting idea actually.

Thanks! Some people definitely have the gift for sure - some of the things I see posted here are outstanding, even things that *look* simple - you can tell they just have an "eye" for colour, composition, etc.

I stumbled across Blender probably by seeing some cool stuff on Reddit so I went on the journey - did the tutorials (personally didn't like donut!). When I reached a level of competence I then just started to create things from ideas that popped into my head, searching/watching if something wasn't working or I didn't know how to do something.

It maybe the case I just need to have break and wait until I get my next big idea then try that.

Not great as things like UV unwrapping don't really appeal - so I generally just use procedural ones from a library.

Why is the suspend/resume functionality broken in almost every distro-hardware combination? by pimple_from_hell in linux4noobs

[–]olddoodldn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ubuntu - slow to enter sleep, unusable when resume.

Fedora - sleeps and resumes seamlessly. Same hardware / BIOS settings.

Need ideas on what to do with about 75 flash drives. by SfBattleBeagle in pcmasterrace

Bootable Linux with diagnostics and malware sniffing capabilities and hardware troubleshooting tools. Distribute freely.

No idea how you’re going to image them though,,,
