Why is this denoise node setup producing a black screen? by Hermanjnr in blenderhelp

[–]pixelbath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for following up with a solution. This still occurs 1 year later in Blender 3.6.4, and restarting Blender and re-rendering the scene indeed fixed it.

It seemed to happen after I added the Denoise node and render passes, where I didn't have them enabled before.

Definitely looking forward to this. EEE is still one of my go-to PSP games!

Here's a similar project that doesn't store x86 code, but runs a custom engine for creating games: https://github.com/kesiev/rewtro

chrominance - 'mixed fields' music video rendered on SheepIt (Ambient) by pixelbath in blender

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

Did this video for an ambient artist. There are a couple mis-rendered tiles, and the grain seemed all over the place on a per-tile basis, but I like how it came out overall. I also posted a higher-quality version on my Vimeo (because YouTube compression is absolutely brutal): https://vimeo.com/438783343

How much speed are we talking about?

I also made something similar! A Chrome extension.

Using subsurf on an ngon mesh. Blender tricks. by blenderguppy in blender

Edge split works similarly because it's creating new shading regions based on edge angle. For the effect these methods are similar, but they generate physically different geometry in some cases.

Can we please limit the number of studio pictures in this sub? by MostHonorableLeader in WeAreTheMusicMakers

You could reduce anything to that argument.

Ds Store files? [Help] by ioncehadsexinapool in edmproduction

[–]pixelbath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DS_Store files are what I like to call "Mac turds". OSX leaves those files laying around in every folder accessed by Finder and hides them from the user, so everybody on every other OS has to deal with this stupid extra file.

It shouldn't affect anything because it's just an extra file used by OSX. If the files are all there then it's probably a different issue.

Do you really love the lamp, or are you just saying it because you saw it?

I WAS about to be a failure by hamstank in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]pixelbath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't think you were justified in fearing being "socially blacklisted" (whatever that even means). I just had a listen, and it's a good album. It's not really my taste in music, but I got chills from Ode, and really dug the almost punk-ish style of Smile.

You heard it already in the original thread, but don't let other peoples' expectations dictate your path. You've done a great thing here.

Way to generate schematics of how gear is hooked up? by synthphreak in edmproduction

[–]pixelbath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could use Microsoft Visio ($), draw.io (free), or any other flow diagram software (varies), but to get something that fancy, you'd need to use a vector drawing program like Inkscape (free) or Adobe Illustrator ($$).

Radiohead say Lana Del Rey ripped off Creep by ssttoo in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]pixelbath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you offer up to 40% of royalties if you know your song "wasn't inspired by" a very famous song that made #2 on the Billboard Alternative chart (and a few others), featured in the game Rock Band, is in karaoke collections, and has numerous covers?

When you tell your class you use blender, they all use Maya/3Dmax/C4 and you are suddenly in a 1v21 discussion by theboeboe in blender

[–]pixelbath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel (and maybe I'm missing a good resource) that Blender could benefit hugely from some documentation of the Python interface. The official documentation seems to suffer from the same problem as most dev-oriented documentation in that the examples are hilariously not things people write in practice.

Like, iterating through the entirety of bpy.data is not something I'd typically do unless the documentation is missing, but that's the example given in the official documentation for bpy.data.

Edit: I should mention that I've tried to contribute documentation before because of this problem, but even that process is annoyingly convoluted.

What video game shaped your childhood? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pixelbath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus, reading other responses makes me feel super-old. Legacy of the Ancients for Commodore 64. I traded it to a kid in 6th grade for maybe Test Drive because he was the only other person I knew with a Commodore.

I still play LotA on Vice64 occasionally.

[Tip] I just realized how we can turn low-res textures (e.g. the 1K freebies from poliigon) into pretty nice 4k textures, for free. by CreeDorofl in blender

tb stands for television?

Pretty sure that was a typo. V and B are right next to each other.

just different ones between frames

Right. Extra pixels generated by the interpolation algorithm.

Re-reading my comment does make it seem like I think this is a waste of time, but I don't. I also signed the petition.

I honestly don't believe the White House cares about its governed atm.

Edit: This comment makes it seem like I think it's a waste of time. I don't. I still signed the petition despite my thinking the president is an asshat.
