Wendy Carlos Walter Carlos Sonic Seasonings

This album is no longer accessible on youtube, probably because the artist is either broke or a total douchebag. Perhaps I will download it, add some commentary and make it public domain through the doctrine of fair usage.

My Personal Journey with Blender

I decided to document my journey with Blender.
According to my file history I downloaded Blender 2.64 on 11/18/2012.
2.65 on 12/22/2012
2.67 on 6/27/13
I probably upgraded sequentially through the next few.

Big Mistake

On April 5, my band fired me. Big mistake. Now I have to recreate myself as a musician and make more money. What were they thinking? Thanks to you I will have to make more money than I did before.

16 Cook Street Liverpool

"I started working on 16 Cook St Liverpool last week. I had no good 2d elevation and only a few decent online photos of it, and a street level view of it from google."

Shingy Street

I started Shingy Street back on...I'm not really sure. The earliest image is from Dec 24, 2013.  The Brownstone is dated to Jan 18. So sometimes in January it developed. Funny, it seems like a longer time ago than that.
Sooo. The Brownstone is not done to scale. Shingy Street's buildings are not done to scale.

So today, after several days of gigging, I tried to conquer one basic thing:
How to make light emitters invisible in Blender's cycles render.

Wheels and the Oil Tanker

I realized today I made a mistake on the wheels of the CS passenger. When I started a new file, using the wheels and basic lines as a template, I saw the distance between the inner "rails" to be NOT 4' 8.5".

February 28, 2015

Had a massive hard drive failure Feb 28. Had many warnings.

Bought a new hard drive March 1 and took the old one out.
March 2 took it to Tiger Direct for OS and drivers.
March 3 got it back.

Bought BlacX hard drive reader.....
Works great. Couple of days later salvaged the hard drive from Emachines. Audio until Feb 2 2013.


The virus told the hard drive all your folders are empty.

 

The Blender Addon Camera Calibration pvr.py

So Blam has some issues in the current Blender builds. (I think I realized this when I did the factory interior...ie Why is the Z upside down. If you do a search of the issue you'll know what I mean.)

So I found this one. It works a little differently.
At first blush, if you follow the instructions on SOLVE FOCAL, it seems to work pretty well.

Oceans has a big problem. To work right you must go to the IVchord when the lyric "Spirit lead me.."
starts.

Vectors in Inkscape etc

Inkscape allows the creation of vector images from pretty much any image file.

Open Inkscape and load an image.
Select the image and then in the menu select Path > Trace Bitmap.
You will probably need to adjust Brightness cutoff and/or Threshold to get your trace to look just right.
So then do this.
You can do this over and over, with the

You will need to save this file. (It will be an SVG that Blender can import.)
Open this file in Blender and then you can export it as a DXF file into an autocad (Dassault) emulator. Then do what you wish.
All manner of edits can ensue.

http://goinkscape.com/how-to-vectorize-in-inkscape/

This can just go on forever. Especially if you use BLAM in Blender to set pure XYZ coordinates.
Perhaps the ideal thing is just to have a great artist like my son Joseph Banks to draw it in 2d.

(OMG there are so many  more steps.....Not up to it. right now.)
