  • Blender Cycles – Rebirth of a 7 years old computer
    Oenvoyage's Blender Blog - 2012-03-27 22:11:49

    Another great thing with cycles is that you can make a good render machine out of an old computer: just buy a new graphic card ! No need to upgrade CPU, motherboard, or even RAM, just plug a recent graphic card and voilà. A long time ago (2005) I bought a Dell PC for rendering, [...]

    It’s FMX time again!

    Andy Goralczyk and myself will present Blender at FMX 2012, the “17th Conference on Animation, Effects, Games and Transmedia” in May this year in Stuttgart (Germany).

    Check out the Blender Workshop on Thursday, 10th May: Blender Inside Out

    I feel very honoured for having the chance to be there again, it’s a great place and many extraordinary people from the cg/film industry are there!

    Get your FMX ticket now, and see you in may!

  • Bullet Integration - Small Goodies + Fixes
    Aligorith's Lair - 2012-03-27 15:05:00

    Just a quick update on this. As I finally managed to have some spare time today, I spent some time doing some "fun" hacking for a change (from writing reports and reading papers)...

    Auto-Mass - Select a material preset to calculate mass


    I've just pushed two changes to the Git branch:
    1) An "auto-mass" feature, which calculates the mass of objects based on their volume sizes (mesh-objects just use the bounding box for now, which may overestimate in cases) and a "material" preset (which provides density information about the type of material that your rigidbodies are made from). Activate this tool from the "Change Mass..." tool in the toolbar, from the RigidBody panel. No more guessing mass values for hundreds of fragments by hand anymore!

    2) An experimental patch from Sergej Reich which makes the collisions work properly out of the box (i.e. fixing the various problems with mesh-mesh collisions many were having).
