    Samuel walked stealthily behind Reld in the dark forest. Other than the faint gurgle of the stream and the buzz of insects, it was quiet. “Are you sure you saw something out here, Reld?” he asked in a soft voice.
    “Yes,” the dragon murmured. “Less than an hour ago.” The dragon then froze in place.
    Instantly, Samuel crouched, scanning his surroundings. He still didn’t see anything out of order. “Where is it?” he asked.
    The dragon mumbled, “There’s something on my nose.”


    Just expanding on the previous image to bring in Samuel.

    Also, thanks Misty.


    Hey great to see the old Fyre magic, thanks :)

    Complaint: Some recent posts are so lengthy that my tiny brain gets full before I can finish reading them. :lol:

    I have another complaint. I hate moving. I start moving on Tuesday. I do not have the energy to pack, and I need to get work done at the same time.

    Mind, I like the place to which we ARE moving. I just hate the process itself.

    moving doth suck!!

    I *despise* moving!

    we moved all the time when I was growing up; usually every 6 months or so... I counted once: I had moved 49 (yes, FOURTY NINE) times by the time I was 15 - usually to another city/state and not just a different house/apartment/etc.

    Luckily my wife accepts that I am *highly* resistant to the idea of moving (plus I really love where we live).

    latitude is the 'flat' lines - like they are laid out flat... longitude are the vertical lines.

    hence, latitude is 'flat-itude'

    I have always seen these interesting-looking complaint threads but never stopped to, well, complain. Is it too late to complain? Should I complain about never having time to complain before? I feel like I'm missing out. Are new complainers welcome?

    Complaint:

    I recently found a website that has a LOT of the old DOS games where you can download them (think 80s and 90s games) for those of us who have lost the disks (or, more likely, the disks don't work anymore - I still have a lot of the boxes) and I have been rediscovering a number of my old favs....

    ... why is this a complaint? Well, besides the magic portal that has sucked all my 'free' time away I have noticed something:

    It is not just nostalgia, those games *WERE* much better than todays!! The depth... the story... the play-ability... even (often) the UI!! They are more fun NOW even with the *ancient* graphics and primitive sound. Skyrim and Fallout3 are the only 'recent' ones that come close... and Sim games are practically non-existent anymore (except for the occasional 'Sims' expansion - which is more of "Facebook for Simlovers" rather than an actual sim game), so there isn't really anything to even compare MoO, MoM, XCom, etc. to.

    I remember being worried in the late '90s that the console market was going to destroy computer gaming and dumb everything down - and as I play a number of these older titles, I see I was right.

    Anyone can come and complain at any time! You may complain about any topic of your choice. I frequently drop in, whine about something, and drop out again for three weeks or so until I have another complaint I just can't contain without sharing it. Kulay Wolf says random stuff, and ps1borg often talks about the weather. Just whatever pops into your head.

    all complainers are welcome!

    ... well, except for trolls... and really, really thin-skinned whiners... and 'bronies' (though that is a personal exception, and not one of the Complaint Thread community as a whole - I just like to look out for them)

    Never too late to complain! ;-) - and new complainers are most certainly welcome - the more the complainier :lol:. You may wish to start out small (state of the weather, your car, your dishes, your most recent render...), before moving onto the Galactic-level complaints, but that's your choice.

    (eta: for Latin purists out there, I've probably got the wrong form of the verb... so complain away ;-) ).

    Well, then I won't complain about the fellow complainers. And I'm not a troll -- my complexion is all wrong, plus I'm not hairy enough. Not a bronie, either, because, well... no sparkly thing on my butt. Ha. I'm in.

    Then today I shall complain about moving. SickleYield, I saw that you were complaining about it, too -- but my complaint centers on my fiance moving IN. Currently, I have no way to walk from my bathroom to my kitchen without walking out the front door and then in the back door. There is also a random door lying in the hallway to my bedroom. I recognize the door as one belonging in my house -- I took a bunch down when I moved in, because people in the 40s must have really liked doors and there were three in my back entry, which is literally a 36" square of linoleum. However, I haven't seen this door since I moved in five years ago, and I'm not entirely sure where he found it. Or why it's lying in my hallway. I got up to pee at 2am today and fell into it. When I asked him to move it, he did -- to the opposite side of the hall. Now I can have a matching bruise on my other leg.

    So, yeah. Moving sucks. I know I have a house somewhere under all these boxes...

I feel as though he must have been hiding a Bag of Holding somewhere, where he kept all of the things he didn't need on a regular basis. Of course, this could just be wishful thinking on my part.

    According to some physicists, there are actually seventeen (!) dimensions but we can only see three because we can't get close enough to see the others. This may account for what you've observed.

    (@KK tl;dr - I'm answering your post piece by piece because I feel I really must speak up to try to see if I can ameliorate some of your negative experiences with Blender... you can pretty much ignore this if you like, I know I won't convince you otherwise in the space of a single post).

    Kyoto Kid said:
    ...I'm the type that learns through actually working on a project.
    I am too. I especially don't like video "tutorials", because they are almost always someone else showing what _they_ know, and how _they_ have learnt to do something - not necessarily the only way (or the best/most efficient way).

    Kyoto Kid said:
    ...having to remember an extensive shortcut key map off the bat like Blender requires is, for myself, kind of like doing things in reverse order.
    Seriously, this is no longer required. In 2.49, yes it was necessary to learn keystrokes to find your way around the place (switching between different "panels", moving vertices around etc), however, in the 2.5x and 2.6x (and now 2.71) days that we find ourselves, all operations may be found either in the "toolshelf" on the left, or the "menu" that defaults to the bottom of the work area, with shortcut keys listed for info purposes.

    (( side-note: the _reason_ that the 3D work area menu is at the bottom of the window instead of (what you might expect) at the top, is that there is already the system menu at the top of the display, and having two menus stacked on top of each other can be easy to hit the wrong one. However, if you feel discomforted by picking menu options "from the bottom", then right-click on the menubar and "Flip to top" will get you the menubars along the top of the windows if that is where your eye naturally goes)).

    Kyoto Kid said:
    In most software, shortcuts are generally a more advanced technique that the user eventually picks up as the they become more experienced and comfortable with the programme.
    This is certainly the case in Blender - there are a lot of ways to speed up workflow, and to be able to produce the mesh that you want with minimum effort. Hotkeys are one part of that. Good modelling techniques are another (and those you can only learn with experience - nobody can tell you about T-joints or 5-poles and expect you to absorb and understand without trying).

    Kyoto Kid said:
    Customisation is also a more advanced feature. ... Blender tosses the need to customise the UI at you from the get go.
    "need to customise"? I'm sorry, I can't agree there. Blender has the capability to look like other pieces of software if you want (such as 3DSMax or Maya), but before Excel there was Lotus 1-2-3, and before 1-2-3 there was VisiCalc... there has always been a "default mode" that you could learn if you felt so inclined - and it was nothing like any other application (referring to VisiCalc here, "/" to enter command mode, avoiding recursive cell references, even the numbering scheme of letters sideways and numbers downward o.O). Even in D|S you have the options of "MainStreet" vs "DarkSide", or "Hollywood Blvd" vs "CityLimits" - one might argue that DS makes the same need of you to reposition windows around the place, get rid of tabs, expose different windows and docks etc etc.

    (( hehe, I've just noticed - that my Blender display layout looks almost identical to my DS display layout - system menubar along the top, "tools" window down the left side (in DS this is my content folders), scene outline at top right, and properties windows under that, with main area being the 3D workspace... well well <(^_^) )).</p>

    Kyoto Kid said:
    With Blender that is not the case as I'm always having to remember which key combination does what. ...

    May I ask which keystrokes you find yourself hunting down most often? ... are you attempting to use Blender at "full power", rather than making use of the menu options? ... the first keys I learnt were the ones to manipulate vertices ([G]rab, [R]otate, cale), along with the ability to "lock" transformations to a certain axis ([X], [Y], [Z])... really miss that capability in DS btw... why you don't prepare a "cheat sheet" of keystrokes to have sitting beside your monitor?

    The UI requires too much "thinking" which is what Andrew wanted to get away from as he mentioned it tends to "get in the way" of the creative process. Being a more "visually" oriented person, I tend to agree with him.


    Do you not find fiddling with DS having the same sort of "getting in the way"? ... having to hunt through obscurely arranged Runtime directories and folders (which is why the CMS was added), having to determine what UVs and poses and outfits are for particular characters (and firing up GenX or some other third-party tool to convert things back and forth), having to select from V4, Genesis, Genesis 2 or whomever for your base characters, having to select from the various Shader mechanisms to get the surfaces the way you like (UberEnv, UberSurface, AoA lights, DimensionTheory lights, those older lighting systems...), and then finally having to tweak a lot of parameters over and over (adjust bump if the item came with Poser settings, add displacement, switch off AO for hair and add Sub-D, add specularity, adjust depth of field focus point, adjust point light falloffs, add or fix spotlights to illuminate what you want, adjust framing and composition, colour balance and gamma, twiddle render settings for preview or final, etc etc). After all that, I can't say I feel too "creative" either <(^_^).</p>

    ... The primary learning curve for software should be that for the concept of what one is hoping to achieve, be it modelling, texurting, animating, creating spreadsheets, or whatever. The UI itself should in a sense have a minimal impact on this process. Blender's is more like running into a brick wall.


    Absolutely - and note that Blender does it all (except for creating spreadsheets, although that technically can be done using the game engine I think ;-) )... and has to provide a consistent interface throughout all those tasks. The one that was chosen had to be able to push verts around the place, to be able to control UV unwrapping, to be able to paint in 3D, to be able to sculpt, to be able to rig armatures, and then to be able to animate and render.

    ... With Blender it took me weeks of trial and error, spending a lot of time reading/watching tutorials, before I could create something as simple as a pencil.
    I really wished you'd asked me (or SickleYield, or DaremoK3, or any of the other Blender users around here) before spending that long on the task. I believe that if you'd had the right, tailored information from the start (that is, specific answers to your specific questions - rather than the more general info provided via tutorials), the experience wouldn't have been so negative for you. Every application domain needs learning and rote before it becomes "second nature" and the creative process can come to the fore - I bet you weren't creating Excel macros and custom toolbars in your first few days of number crunching?

    Programmes like Daz Studio, Corel Painter, Carrara etc have eliminated that "grunt work" freeing the artist to concentrate on the task at hand, creating scenes and images.
    ...OK
    I would suggest that DS and Carrara have become sufficiently complex now (to say nothing of all the postwork techniques one must learn in something like GIMP or PS) that they're all much of a muchness. But that's just imho <(^_^).</p> Render on (in whatever application makes you most creative)! (^_^)d
    ...OK to start, with my comment on having to remember keystrokes, when it is necessary todo so just to move the camera around the workspace that is unintuitive. This should be handled with a pointing device like other applications use.

    As to the "thinking" portion, yes there is a little adjustment to be made when dealing with the UI of a new programme. However for the most part, 2D/3D programmes will for the most part use a pointer driven UI rather than a keyboard driven one. For Daz StudioPro, Poser, and CarraraPro (which uses the Poser runtime structure) I worked up a custom runtime structure that categorises my content. Hence, I have little trouble finding what I need. I don't bother with "smart content" as the panes waste too much space on my display and I need to manually add content (which was not purchased in or downloaded from the Daz store or which is Freebie content), to the database.

    On the comment about making the Blender UI looking like Daz Studio, I don't know, or do, scripting (horrible code, no style at all) so I have no way of modifying the UI to that extent.

    As to the excess time involvement, that was all having to deal with the UI. Again a "point and click" GUI is easy for me to understand. A UI that requires one to know a keyboard map from the outset doesn't.

    Relating to the "grunt work"statement, I was referring to the process of having to "hard code" graphics vs. having a UI and structure that approaches the task from the artist's point of view.

    Setting up scenes and rendering isn't the issue. It's not having a stable and powerful 64 bit dedicated modelling application that frustrates me.

    ..another complaint.

    Today was the last day my favourite brewpub was open for business. I was invited to their "closing party" having been one of their most regular customers. It was fun but bittersweet (and a lot of really good handcrafted beer was consumed in the process).

    What happened is their lease was ending and the owner of the building wanted them to commit to a much longer lease than they originally had.

    Still lots of good times, won two big bottles of their brew. and mourned the day with a lot of good friends.

    Their brewing operation is OK as it is in a different building across the street (which used to be the neighbourhood plasma donation centre - BTW the bottles they use for ice water are plasma IV bottles). They just need to find a new location for another pub nearby.

    Well, then I won't complain about the fellow complainers. And I'm not a troll -- my complexion is all wrong, plus I'm not hairy enough. Not a bronie, either, because, well... no sparkly thing on my butt. Ha. I'm in.

    Then today I shall complain about moving. SickleYield, I saw that you were complaining about it, too -- but my complaint centers on my fiance moving IN. Currently, I have no way to walk from my bathroom to my kitchen without walking out the front door and then in the back door. There is also a random door lying in the hallway to my bedroom. I recognize the door as one belonging in my house -- I took a bunch down when I moved in, because people in the 40s must have really liked doors and there were three in my back entry, which is literally a 36" square of linoleum. However, I haven't seen this door since I moved in five years ago, and I'm not entirely sure where he found it. Or why it's lying in my hallway. I got up to pee at 2am today and fell into it. When I asked him to move it, he did -- to the opposite side of the hall. Now I can have a matching bruise on my other leg.

    So, yeah. Moving sucks. I know I have a house somewhere under all these boxes...

    Something unnatural about a horizontal door, as if there was an extra dimension lying around you hadn't noticed before :lol:

    I'm beginning to think there IS an extra dimension lying around. Mainly because I have no idea how all this stuff ever fit into his tiny apartment. I feel as though he must have been hiding a Bag of Holding somewhere, where he kept all of the things he didn't need on a regular basis. Of course, this could just be wishful thinking on my part. After all, if there truly is another dimension laying around, I could just shove everything into it and close my horizontal door.

    According to some physicists, there are actually seventeen (!) dimensions but we can only see three because we can't get close enough to see the others. This may account for what you've observed.

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    Clearly those are where all my socks go :lol:
