  • Belated holiday greetings
    Blender Journey - 2012-01-04 05:48:03

    I was sick over Christmas and spent my time working on this little holiday greeting.  My plan had been to have this printed to cards and send them out to friends and family.  But, I didn’t finish until the 27th, so I guess I have my cards for next year. I can’t remember exactly, but [...]
  • Silvereye Nest
    Aligorith's Lair - 2012-01-04 04:07:00

    This morning, I discovered that my beloved silvereyes had built a nest in the lychee-like tree in our garden (a tree they really like eating the berries of in early autumn).

  • Bullet Integration Todo List (Poll)
    Aligorith's Lair - 2012-01-04 00:05:00

    After reviewing the state of the preview I posted yesterday and comparing this against the demos posted by various people over the past 2 years (for what they've been doing and/or need), here is the set of current unsupported functionality that would need to be implemented before this is really suitable for mass consumption:
    • Ability to apply rigid bodies to large arrays of objects. These are often similar in many regards, be it shape or colour, and usually need to have the same settings applied to all. E.g. bricks or blocks making up some structure.
    • Ability to use rigid body constraints to define how things hold together.
    • Stability and integration usability polish. This includes all kinds of book-keeping things such as ensuring that copying, deleting, and changing associations all work without any crashes or weird behaviour.
