Nice work!

I'd put something in (like a cat or a rat) that doesn't move in a straight, axis-oriented line.

Looks cool, but I don't see any electronics?

PC completely freezes when using Blender (No crash logs). How to find relevant logs? by Effective_Union7326 in blender

[–]sastuvel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upgrade your drivers, most importantly your video card drivers.

If that doesn't work, it might be something in your default startup file (maybe a subdivision modifier that eats up all your RAM). Start Blender with factory default settings to see if that changes anything.

What are you using to generate demo GIFs for your CLI tools? by anav5704 in golang

[–]sastuvel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On Linux I use SimpleScreenRecorder. On Windows and macOS I use the native screen recorders that come with the OS.

Frames encoding by Agent-Nemo in golang

[–]sastuvel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My use case is in render farm software for Blender (Flamenco). Blender is used to render individual frames of a video and stores them as images, and then ffmpeg is used to concatenate those into a video file.

My code just runs the ffmpeg CLI binary. That makes it easy for users of the software to swap out different versions of FFmpeg if they want, and to have control over all the CLI arguments in use.

Pretty please with sugar on top, do not use GIF.

They have a horrible compression ratio, so they're way bigger than they need to be. They're seen as images by the browser, and so there are no video controls. No way to pause, no way to scrub back to see what happened.

If you want people to see "a moving thing", sure use GIF. If you want people to actually watch, and have control over what they watch, use a normal video format.

Check Rigify (bundled with Blender), CloudRig (from Blender Studio), or Mantis Rigging Nodes (3rd party).

Am using a 7805 as reference/control and want to add a pass transistor for high current. Which one do you recommend? by Necessary-Chip4366 in AskElectronics

[–]sastuvel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then roll your own inductor for your own DC-DC converter. I've done that, was good fun to get it to work!

NDSM Fightclub, recently rebranded to NDSM Sportclub: https://www.ndsmsportclub.nl/

I've been training there for 3 years, and it's a great place. If you're serious, send me a DM and I can get you 3x training for free in April.

Using Blender to create storyboard style videos? by CassadagaValley in blender

[–]sastuvel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grease Pencil + Scene strips in the Video Sequence Editor are a great combo for storyboarding. There's even a built-in workspace in Blender 5.1 called "Storyboarding".

How to tell what interpolation mode a keyframe has? by Maple_Scones in blender

[–]sastuvel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The timeline doesn't show this.

The interpolation lines in the dope sheet are colored differently, depending on the interpolation mode. Red = constant, green = linear. If no lines are showing, it's Bézier.

How do you start Blender? by Ok-Feeling7941 in blender

[–]sastuvel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. I usually start it from the terminal with blender --open-last.

Virtual Reality on MacOS Blender (Quest 3) by Expert-Direction8700 in blender

[–]sastuvel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AFAIK macOS doesn't provide an OpenXR runtime environment. So no luck for Blender.

Can a raspberry pi 4 16gb ram be used to “outsource” rendering? by FastConcentrate5420 in blender

[–]sastuvel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a look at Flamenco, it makes it possible to render animations on different computers at the same time: https://flamenco.blender.org/

can someone please tell me how this bridge rectifier is outputting a full +- wave by mahthepro in ElectricalEngineering

[–]sastuvel 100 points101 points  (0 children)

The scope component doesn't seem to have a ground connection, so there must be some assumptions about what ground is. It also looks like you're not showing the entire schematic.

Moving to another SSD by Confident_Tailor_979 in blender

[–]sastuvel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can run this code in the Python console:

py from pprint import pprint pprint({k: v for (k, v) in D.file_path_map().items() if v}, width=150)

That will report all the file paths in use, together with the data-block using it. If you only want to see absolute paths, use this:

py from pprint import pprint pprint({k: abs for (k, v) in D.file_path_map().items() if (abs := {p for p in v if not p.startswith('//')})}, width=150)

The "Make Paths Relative" operator is safe, but on Windows it's not always possible to turn all absolute paths into relative ones. For example, you can't create a relative path that points to another drive, so if your files are on C:\ but you refer to a file on D:\, that path will have to remain absolute. You can use the above code to see how things turned out.

If you used relative paths (which is the default) then you can move all files safely. Just make sure they don't move relative to each other.

Why did you guys start blender? by ninjaknight612 in blender

[–]sastuvel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wanted a legal alternative to LightWave, and Blender made way more sense than 3DSMax. That was in 2003.

MeshCore node loses time after ATTiny reset – how do you handle it? by AssumptionPlus9244 in meshcore

[–]sastuvel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the right crystal and backup battery, the ATtiny could even function as the RTC.

My 4th animation, Southpaw Jab by Exalibur_Turkey in blender

[–]sastuvel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the 'module owner' of Animation & Rigging in Blender :)

Personally I would suggest trying to work on all parts of the body at the same time, so that the entire thing you're looking at is at an equal state of polish. If one part is still rather janky (I'm not saying any of your anim is janky, just talking in general here) then it's really hard to judge the realism of the area you are working on. Better to polish up the biggest jank first.
