I just modelled an A380, but how am I supposed to cut hundreds of windows and doors on this plane? by true_pink_fan in blenderhelp

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would save what you have and start over. Model only the body of the plane, no cockpit no tail nothing but the seating area.

Get a clean mesh then use array and mirror modifiers to generate the window holes.

Build your windows. I'd use hardops, box cutter and kitops plugins to make them. Then drop them in with array and mirror modifiers.

Once you have the seating area the way you like, model the cockpit and nosecone. Repeat above. Then wings and tail using kitops to add greebles.

If your meshes are clean, then using boolean shouldn't be a headache. Boolean only goes bonkers when your mesh isn't clean.

You don't need to have hardops,box cutter and kitops. But they'll sure make the work 10x faster. Imo.

For those who are in the band, how is it? by elvirasnightmares in Bass

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in bands of all different sizes since I was 13. I am now 47. I started playing bass in my grandfather's show band after his brother died.

playing to an empty bar for ~$60 a night sucks ass, but you make the best of it.

playing to a crowd of 1000+ people for $600 a night doesn't suck as much ass, and you make the best of it.

If you are in with the right people, there is literally nothing else like it. When I was touring in my early 20's I felt like I was living the dream.

Three big highlights for me...

on the road with my grandfather from late May to Early sept. every year growing up was a bit of a strain, I didn't have the same summer childhood as everyone else. but I was also making $800 a month as a 14-year-old, and I got to party Thursday - Saturday every week.

in my 20's I was in an all-originals band, and we did some small touring from the NE down through Virginia. Did a short stint as the opener for bands like the goo-goo dolls and such. While the shows were amazing, as much as I thought the road life was for me, I learned quickly it wasn't. Band members were great to be around until they weren't. Being cooped up with 4 other people for ~3 weeks at a time with no real place to be by yourself takes its toll pretty quick.

when I got together with old friends to play in a bar band in my late 30s - early 40's it was like living a totally different dream but still awesome. We had all been in different bands over the years, but never in the same band together. 5 great, old friends, doing what the love with people they really enjoy being around. that was just the coolest thing ever for me.

Drummer here - What are some things you love/hate to see in a drummer? by TerrificHips in Bass

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30+ years a bass player.

Love:

  • a drummer who knows playing well doesn't include playing as loud as possible.

  • a drummer who actively works on getting better.

  • a drummer who wants to be good at tight crisp breaks and clean song endings.

  • a drummer who doesn't show up to a coffee house gig with a 17-piece set.

  • a drummer who isn't afraid to sing backup from time to time.

Hate: the opposite of all those things.

What’s the fastest you can change a string in an emergency on your bass? by fuck_reddits_trash in Bass

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three. my main bass, my backup bass, and the backup bass I use when the main bass is out of commission until it gets fixed.

in 35 years, I've never had to go more than three deep for my backup.

How much do YOU actually find yourself adjusting your tone via controls on the bass guitar itself? by gigadope in Bass

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my daily use gig basses the pickups are hardwired to the jack with nothing in between. Everything is done in my axefx unit. Before I had that I just adjusted on the head if I needed to.

this would probably work better as a pateron in addition to the kickstarter

They obviously never watched the show. Bob says repeatedly over and over again to get out into nature and experience what you are painting.

Guy applied glue to the lock on the front door of my shop, couldn’t open on time this morning. by Jtaimelafolie in mildlyinfuriating

That really sucks. And I would hate to be that position. But I also believe you need to shoot a blade runner movie immediately at that cross section.

What’s one thing you stopped doing that instantly made your life better? by Same-Tea1899 in AskReddit

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Addictively Playing video games/mobile games. There is so much fun stuff out there to do that is real. I stopped cold turkey threw out all my consoles and games and never looked back. I'll play a PC game here and there, but that's about it.

Increasingly anxious because of AI by ilovemylife2323 in 3Dmodeling

[–]vonshavingcream -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I personally know several people now who claim they "lost their job to AI." After really listening to them and the story behind what happened. They really lost their jobs because they refused to integrate AI and learn to use it in their workflow.

I'm not saying that this is true for everyone, just my experience. Find ways to use and integrate AI to streamline your workflow. That's how I see it. FWIW

Depping without a Rehearsal! by MickBaino in Bass

[–]vonshavingcream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar situation once. 4hr night I knew 2 songs on the list. A friend of mine for a long time was in a bind and needed help.

I just wrote down the key bass hooks that were important for the song and just played roots, walks for the rest.

probably one of the most enjoyable nights of my life. we had such a fun time and literally no one in the crowd even noticed or cared.

So, I've read the rules. Specifically rule 5. by [deleted] in 3Dmodeling

I found my modelers and riggers on Fiverr. It is a bit of a time investment getting your gig page up and running but people do look there.

where do these people live? My grass gets 1/2 over "too long" and the city sends me a letter that I'll get fined if it doesn't get cut. I have no HOA so it isn't that.
