ventrikDoes Unbunto have issues with certain tyeps of mobos?04:14
holsteinventrik: maybe04:15
holsteinwhats the issue?04:15
ventrikI wouldn't know I get this04:15
ventrikhttp://lulzimg.com/i9/ee640188.jpg04:15
ventrikWith Mint, UnbunStudio, Kunbun, and the standard Unbuntu Distro04:16
holsteinhehe04:16
holsteini have a great screenshot like that04:16
holsteinof a via chip ;)04:16
ventrikBut BackTrack which isn't Unbuntu based (iirc) works fine.04:16
holsteinventrik: have you tried 'safe graphics mode' in the past?04:16
holsteinventrik: sometimes, i use a knoppix disc04:17
ventrikI wouldn't know what command that is04:17
holsteinand grab the generated xorg.conf from there04:17
holsteini did that as recent as 10.0404:17
holsteinon my audio rig04:17
holsteini could get the screen aspect the way i wanted it04:17
holsteinSO i grabbed the xorg.conf from knoppix :)04:18
holsteinyou could do that04:18
ventrikOh LiveCD? This is just after trying to load the CD, straight from autoboot.04:18
holsteinwith backtrack04:18
holsteinwho knows what its doing04:18
ventrikHmm04:18
holsteinat least you could look in there and see if there is an xorg file04:18
holsteinand what t says04:18
holsteinit*04:18
holsteinventrik: should be /etc/x11/xorg.conf04:18
holsteinthere wont be one in ubuntu04:19
holsteinBUT buntu will look there for onw04:19
holsteinone*04:19
holsteinif you put one there04:19
ventrikI'll check it, I just need to find my other ISO's, my harddrives are all disarrayed because I was setting up dual-boot04:19
ventrikOh I can't even get into the /etc/ I'm stuck running windows.04:21
holsteinhehe04:21
holsteinyou should be able to do it all from backtrack live04:21
holsteinin theory04:21
holsteinventrik: i think for safe graphics mode04:22
holsteinwhen you first boot into the live disc04:22
holsteinyou hit F604:22
ventrikBT only booted, it refused to work with my hardware. Or it was pebkc becuase I'm not all thse familer with linux04:22
holsteinand enter xforcevesa04:22
holsteinof course, you'll need the normal buntu live CD04:22
ventrikNot the studio?04:22
holsteinstudio is not a live disc04:23
holsteinventrik: sound like a pretty normal graphics issue04:23
holsteinwhat graphics card is it?04:23
ventriknVida GTX 360m04:24
holsteinyeah04:24
holsteinthats my vote04:24
ventrikI kind of figured that since I was getting sound recognition from the OS04:24
holsteinyou can check out... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia04:25
ventrikCan I compile this into the OS build pre-burn?04:25
holsteinhmmm04:25
holsteingood question04:26
holsteinthe answer is most certainly yes04:26
holsteinBUT, i couldnt tell you how ;)04:26
holsteinif i were you04:26
holsteini would try forcing vesa04:26
ventrikOr can I boot right into console line?04:26
holsteinfrom a normal live CD04:26
holsteinand see a desktop that looks normal04:26
holsteinTHEN i would force vesa in the install you have if that works04:27
holsteinand then you can relax a little and use the damn thing04:27
holsteinat least04:27
ventrikWell just waitong on the CD download.04:28
holsteincould be a backport04:28
holsteinthat would give it to you04:28
ventrikI probably should wait until I'm sober again though04:28
holsteinhehe04:29
holsteinhttp://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=nvidia-glx-18004:30
holsteinmight be that that package supports that card04:31
holsteini just did a little googling04:31
ventrikOh wow thanks04:31
holsteinstill, you'll have to sort somethings out04:32
holsteinfrom the command line04:32
holsteinOR with the vesa driver04:32
ventrikAll I need is to get the OS up and I;ll be happy04:32
holsteinto get that package installed04:32
ventrikI know Mint's live boot right out of the gate gave me that screen04:32
holsteinAND im assuming its what you need04:32
holsteinventrik: you can ask around in other ubuntu channels too04:33
holsteinthats not going to be #ubuntustudio specific necessarily04:33
holsteinyou might be able to 'cast a wider net'04:33
ventrikTrue04:33
holsteini know #ubuntu is a drag04:33
ventrikWell I'll try this first, no point in not.04:34
holsteinbut the local ones are cool04:34
ventrikDo you know how stable Maya 2011 is on Linux systems?04:34
holsteini dont know what it is.. BUT..04:36
holsteinhttp://forums.cgsociety.org/archive/index.php/t-862971.html04:36
holsteinhttp://www.kurianos.com/wordpress/?p=30904:36
holsteinlooks like both ends of the spectrum right there04:36
ventrikOh so it runs like it does for ever other OS04:37
ventrikOn a mac if you move the mouse to fast you crash Maya04:37
holsteinsounds great ;)04:38
ventrikIndustry Standard at it's finest04:38
ventrikIt's great because all the schools computers are Mac's, teachers crash every 3-5 minutes.04:38
holsteinthats not cool04:38
holsteincrashy macs :/04:39
ventrikIt's a cheap port to farm money04:39
holsteinAH04:39
ventrikWindows isn't doing much better though, and that's the default platform it was built on04:39
holsteincant use blender?04:40
ventrikBlender's user interface is horrendous, it's like learning Latin backwards compared to 3DS Max, Maya, Lightwave, and Houdini.04:41
holsteinyeah, its tough when your coming from a platform already04:41
ventrikThose 4 are almost interchangeable UI wise. But school projects are strictly Maya.04:41
holsteinmore challenigng i thing04:41
holsteinchallenging* i think*04:41
ventrikLike I give Blender it's due credit, but when it comes to the mainstream programs it's just a small shell on a phone in comparison. Sadly.04:43
holsteini have only opened it to test a wacom tablet that i dont know how ot use either ;)04:43
ventrikOh how is Wacom support on Linux?04:44
holsteinseemed good04:44
holsteini dont know what its suppose to do04:44
holsteinmy folks had it for some reason04:44
holsteinall the buttons do something04:44
ventriklol04:44
ventrikIt lets you draw sir :p04:44
holsteinhehe04:45
holsteinyeah, but the pen has a lot of little gadgets on it04:45
ventrikI took the rocker off and put on a solid grip04:48
ventrikThey get in the way04:48
holsteinAH04:48
holsteinalright04:48
holsteini gotta get home04:48
ventrikLater04:49
ventrikThanks for the help04:49
holsteinim out at a gig down the street from my gig04:49
holsteinand im fading04:49
holsteinventrik: anytime04:49
holsteinlet me know how it goes04:49
ventrikWill do04:49
ventrikLog1entry104:49
Bawni can help with JACK05:14
ventrikHolstein: I haven't had a chance yet to do the Unbuntu driver thing and I won't for a few days, but can I issue that command from Grub?18:19
ventrikBecause I know in grub I can change the boot command, I could just add the delete versa command line before the boot line (or after?)18:21
WACOMaltHi folks. I am having an issue on Ubuntu Studio 10.10. TiMidity wont start. and I have no idea where to start troubleshooting the issue. It only worked the first two or 3 times I booted up, but I dont think I changed anything19:04
ventrikDo you get any sort of error?19:07
ventrikI had an issue with wicd where it wouldn't pop up but it would claim to be running (in console) so I had to try different ways to start it19:08
WACOMaltjust at boot I see starting TiMidity Alsa Midi emulation [failed]19:08
WACOMalthow do I start it from terminal?19:08
ventrikBut it worked before?19:08
WACOMaltyeah, maybe the first 3 or 4 boots19:08
ventrikYou are going to have to ask google for the start command in console19:09
WACOMaltthen randomly stopped. And my ALSA tab is gone from Jack connections19:09
ventrikDid you install anything new?19:09
ventrikChange any drivers? etc19:09
WACOMaltOnly things I changed were installing Maya, Shake, and Nuke19:10
WACOMaltnothing sound related19:10
ventrikShake!19:10
ventrikHahaha19:10
WACOMalt?19:10
ventrikDamn that brings back memories19:10
WACOMaltheheh19:10
WACOMaltYeah same here19:10
WACOMaltbut I cant get that to run either. I had it running on 9.1019:10
ventrikHonestly, you are betting running Maya in Windows if you already have that19:10
WACOMaltbut on 10.10 it's having library issues19:10
WACOMaltno, maya 2011 on linux is perfect19:10
ventrikIt's an old program that doesn't get updates19:11
WACOMaltthe previous ones sucked on linux I agree19:11
WACOMaltwait.. maya?19:11
ventrikI'm not surprised it doesn't load19:11
ventrikNo Shake19:11
WACOMaltshake yeah19:11
WACOMaltlol19:11
WACOMaltwhat's it been, 5 years now?19:11
ventrikFor Mac19:11
WACOMaltbut it ran perfectly on 9.1019:11
ventrikLonger for Linux/Win correct?19:11
WACOMaltno linux kept up with mac19:11
ventrikOh19:11
WACOMaltwindows got killed after a final bugfix when apple took over19:12
ventrikWell I mean you can try and get it to work but no one really uses it, just use Nuke and Toxik19:12
ventrikSorry "Compositor"19:12
WACOMaltThere are plenty of smalled studios that still use it19:12
WACOMaltI work at LookFX in hollywood :P19:12
ventrikIn a few years that will change I think.19:12
ventrikAhhh19:12
ventrikI'm just a lowly student19:13
WACOMaltBut yeah we are mostly nuke/AE now19:13
WACOMaltI wish shake had continued to get developed19:13
WACOMaltit's be awesome by now19:13
ventrikI concur19:13
WACOMaltBut I do love nuke19:13
WACOMaltspeaking of which... see that paticular came out for nuke?19:13
ventrikNo, I haven't used Nuke yet19:13
WACOMaltaahh19:13
WACOMaltyou should :P19:14
ventrikMy advanced classes are taking up to much time19:14
WACOMaltwhat are you studying? /where?19:14
ventrikTeacher wont let me work my way so I'm forced to work in a way that doesn't make sense to me19:14
ventrikFAU, nothing special19:14
ventrikThey actually deleted the 3D major19:14
WACOMaltI hate teachers like that19:14
WACOMalt...19:14
WACOMaltI went to full sail, but I cant speak very highly of that school either, and it was way overpriced19:15
ventrikI want to drop out, I was homeschooled, I learn faster at home, right now I'm about to fail actually.19:15
ventrikOh haha, so then you'd know FAU19:15
WACOMaltthey didnt help me get a job, but when I got one they called and wanted to do an interview with me to brag in their brochures T_T19:15
ventrikIt's near DMAC19:15
ventrikSorry you went there though.19:15
WACOMaltyeah I've heard of it19:15
WACOMaltheheh19:15
WACOMaltI mean I learned a lot, but mostly through exposure and the open labs. the teachers were pretty bad, sans a couple19:16
ventrikMy current project is a still with a fly through19:16
ventrikSo we aren;t animating19:16
ventrikHe told me I could use my own pipeline (included zBrush) so I went and BOUGHT a student copy19:16
ventrikOnly to have him tell me to /not/ use zBrush19:17
WACOMaltwow19:17
WACOMaltyeah I'd get out of there19:17
ventrikI can't afford anywhere else sadly19:17
WACOMaltbut... instead of teaching yourself, just take some pro classes from training facilities19:17
WACOMaltor FXPHD19:17
WACOMaltthat is an online schoole, and it's BADASS19:17
ventrikAnd I'm at the point where I'm so technical I can't have questions for the teachers, they tell me I'm the only one that could answer it19:17
WACOMaltI have felt that :/19:18
ventrikGood teachers too from SCAD19:18
WACOMaltsucks19:18
WACOMaltah scad19:18
WACOMaltmy cousin went there19:18
ventrikBoth graduated top in class lol19:18
ventrikAnywho my rig is clipping himself for no reason19:19
WACOMaltclipping himself?19:19
WACOMaltlike interpenetrating?19:19
WACOMaltI have a bit of rigging experience, maybe I can help19:19
ventrikMore like doing 23958230958 on all translates and rotates on the auto inbettwen19:19
WACOMaltoh wow19:19
ventrikAnd not doing that in the graph eidtor19:20
WACOMaltdid you freeze transforms on the bones before binding?19:20
WACOMaltthey are REALLY picky about their orientations and stuff19:20
ventrikOh it's just a demo rig from a guy from Pixar19:20
WACOMaltah gotcha19:20
ventrikI'm just doing animation homework19:20
* WACOMalt wants this rig, as it sounds cool... being from pixar...19:20
ventrikNino?19:20
ventrikIt's a basic trainer19:20
ventrikI'll email him to you19:21
ventrikAfter an hour or so you'll want to stab him19:21
WACOMaltsweet. wacomalt@gmail.com19:21
WACOMaltthanks19:21
ventrikWhoops saved over it with mine19:22
ventrikYou get to have 3 keeyframes19:22
ventrikJust delete them19:22
ventrikAnd zero him out and you're good19:23
WACOMaltlol19:23
WACOMaltI'm just interested to see if it glitches out for me too19:23
ventrikYou can see his flipping though with this save19:23
ventrikThere ya go19:24
ventrikSo you work in Hollywood, as far as jobs go. I'm hearing a lot of different stories but none from people that are just regular people in the regular job world.19:26
WACOMaltIf your talented, and a hard worker, you'll be fine.19:27
ventrikWhat's the market, mostly generalist? I'm trash at modelling and animation, but I'm technical as hell, been using photoshop since I was 12 (half my life) and rigging even the more adchanced rigging seemed to be something I'm good at. Then there is the fact I did photography for 6 years so camera work and lighting.19:27
WACOMaltDepends. It helps to be really good at one thing, then also have experience in everything else.19:28
WACOMaltawesome. I started 3d when I was 12 :P19:28
WACOMaltbrb19:28
ventrikWell I'm looking to be level headed, everyone in my classes are expecting to get amazing jobs at Pixar et al right after the graduate.19:28
WACOMalthah. No.19:34
WACOMaltThat doesnt happen :P19:34
WACOMaltI wanna keep talking to you about this stuff, but I gotta be back in about 5 mins19:34
sheldondhello, does anyone know of a speak to text software or ubuntu19:39
holsteinventrik: yes19:39
holsteini think you can change those settings temproarily too19:39
holsteinjust to test vesa19:39

WACOMalthah19:55
ventrikHow do you like Nino?19:55
WACOMaltpretty cool19:56
ventrikDid you see the flipping?19:57
WACOMaltyeah19:57
ventrikThat's nino on a good day19:57
WACOMaltthat's called gimbal lock :)19:57
WACOMaltbasically...19:57
ventrikOH19:57
ventrikThat would make sense19:57
WACOMalt-180 is not the same as 180 even though they are the same position19:58
WACOMaltthis means maya will interpolate the inbetweens different19:58
ventrikSo drop the -?19:58
WACOMalttry that19:58
WACOMaltbasically, it's rotating the wrong way tot get tto the same point19:58
WACOMaltit's a bitch to avoid19:58
WACOMaltbut common19:58
ventrikHahahaha19:59
ventrikNo dice19:59
WACOMaltthere are some high tech rigs that have scripts running that prevent it19:59
WACOMaltbaw19:59
WACOMaltin that case, no idea :P19:59
ventrikDo it19:59
ventrikHis body flips around19:59
ventrikAll of them19:59
WACOMaltso I see20:01
WACOMaltfixing :P20:01
WACOMaltyeah, this rig is actually pretty bad :P20:02
WACOMaltthe controls any way20:02
ventrikhttp://lulzimg.com/i9/1e9a5d6d.jpg20:02
ventrikFixed it though20:02
ventrikI just kept undoing and doing it again20:02
WACOMaltyeah20:03
WACOMaltbasically, when positioning him, you REALLy have to make sure that to get one pose, you rotate him to get there the same way the inbetween animations should do.20:03
WACOMaltand then pray20:03
ventrikOh well20:04
ventrikI have to much work due tomororow because my mom scewed up my work20:04
WACOMaltlame20:04
WACOMalthow old are you?20:04
ventrikI have to make Nino do a run cycle, a jump, Then I need to do a body sync, lip sync, and then model out an entire character that's still have a box mesh20:05
ventrik2420:05
WACOMaltwow20:05
WACOMaltintense for one night20:05
ventrikWell20:05
ventrikI've had since Wednesday20:05
ventrikOR would have20:05
WACOMaltlol20:05
ventrikMy mother had breast cancer this semster, I had to put my dog down, so that put me back20:05
WACOMaltwow that's a lot to deal with20:06
ventrikAnd now I have something in my brain so my mom has been bouncing me all over the place since wednesday getting tests20:06
WACOMaltack man! I hope you're fine!20:06
ventrikIt's just a "normal" cyst that can be ignored20:06
WACOMaltgotcha20:07
WACOMaltstill pretty annoying I bet.20:07
ventrikBut I call bullshit on that because I get these debilitating headaches called cluster headaches. And the points where the pain starts happens to be the same spot as the cyst and behind my eye20:07
WACOMaltwww.blindmanstudio.com that's my site. Pretty outdated, but got some stuff there20:07
WACOMaltCluster headaches. Ive heard those are rediculously painful20:08
WACOMaltYell at the doctor20:08
WACOMaltcall him an idiot20:08
WACOMalt /her20:08
ventrikAnother name for them is Suicide headache :/20:08
ventrikMost of it's on accident20:08
ventrikNice rotoscope20:08
WACOMaltlol20:09
WACOMaltwhich one?20:09
WACOMaltoh the forest thing?20:09
ventrikFirst one with the dude20:09
WACOMalthah. that took me WAY too long.  I could probably  do that comp in 2 or 3 days now, but then it took me like a week for the roto, and another month for everything else20:09
ventrikOuch20:09
WACOMaltyeeah20:09
ventrikWell the first few times doing things is pretty bad20:10
WACOMalttrue that20:10
WACOMaltespecially since out school really didnt show us most of the shit I did for my reel20:10
WACOMalt*our20:10
WACOMaltAnyways, my words to you are this: If you think your school sucks, it probably does. Get out of there and teach yourself or take some online courses (I know of some really good ones if you want the names) You'll learn quicker on your own, and It sounds like your the type of person who does better finding stuff out on their own than being taught (same here)20:11
WACOMaltthough I do recommend some sort of training just so you learn everything in full detail.20:12
WACOMaltbut FXPHD is the way to go for sure.20:12
WACOMaltas far as compositing20:12
ventrikCan you get AE and all that in Linux20:14
ventrik?20:14
WACOMaltAE is a bit of a no.20:14
WACOMaltit CAN be done...20:14
WACOMaltbut it's a bitch20:15
ventrikBox20:15
ventrikVM bascially20:15
WACOMaltthat or Wine20:15
WACOMaltit CAn work in Wine20:15
ventrikNaw, prefer native support20:15
WACOMaltbut yeah VM or actual windows20:15
WACOMaltwhich is why I triboot Windows, Ubuntu, and OSX20:15
ventrikI'm going to be setting that up20:16
ventrikBut this is a laptop20:16
ventriklol20:16
WACOMaltI dunno though, I find better performance in Wine usually, when it works20:16
WACOMaltsince that makes it be native :P20:16
WACOMalthmm, aparantly Photoshop S5 works perfect on linux20:18
WACOMalt*CS520:18
ventrikEw20:19
ventrikI didn't like CS5, only because of that new content aware20:19
ventrikMakes me cry20:19
ventrikI used to have a part time job doing what that does20:19
WACOMaltlol20:19
WACOMaltyeeeah20:19
ventrikI know it's the same for 3D artists when it comes to zBrush20:20
WACOMaltif they implement that with the optical flow stuff, motion analysis, and bring it into AE, every roto/paint artist will be out of a job20:20
ventrikHalf love it half hate it20:20
ventrikOh they will20:20
WACOMaltI see no reason to hate it. I guess only if people depend soley on it and disregard actual useful geometry and riggable topology...20:20
WACOMaltwhich zbrush no has tools to make doable.20:21
ventrikJust like how you can polypaint textures right on to verts in ZBrush, it's not really fully ironed out now but in a few years you'll never need to UV map again20:21
WACOMalttrue that20:21
WACOMaltWell... as far as sculptures anyway.20:21
ventrikWell that why I said a few years20:22
WACOMaltUseable moving characters for film or games though HAVE to be less heavy20:22
WACOMaltfor now20:22
WACOMaltso yeah your right :p20:22
ventrikSooner or later they will figure out how to make it so you can export that out as textures20:22
WACOMaltyou already can. If you have UVs set up (or aauto uvs made in zbrush) you can bake to a texture20:22
WACOMalteven the normals and a displacement map20:22
ventrikSo you make your model, pop it up to a billion polys and paint on it20:22
WACOMaltso yeah, NO detail has to be in actual geometry20:23
ventrikExport that out as just a data file rather than a UV map20:23
WACOMaltit's smexy20:23
ventrikReplacing UV maps of the 2D to a full 3D texture map20:23
ventrikSkipping UV all together20:24
ventrikThat's my theory, on how it will go20:24
WACOMaltyeah. they have whats called "world-space normal maps. Which can basically hold 3d geometry in a voxel type format.20:24
ventrikOh voxels <320:24
WACOMaltbut it's still limited. But it's coming :P20:24
ventrikYou should finish my model :p20:25
WACOMalthah20:25
ventriklol!20:25
WACOMaltmodeling is not my stong suite20:26
ventrikIt's pretty much done20:26
WACOMaltanimating I can do, rigging a bit, VFX a lot :P20:26
ventrikI just need to finish knees down, elbows down, and fix the head I stiched on20:26
WACOMaltgimme it, I'll take a look. bores as hell today anyways20:26
WACOMaltwait, so hands and feet? :P20:26
ventrikWell what I did20:26
WACOMaltthat's hard :p20:26
ventrikWas make a head in ZBrush20:26
ventrikSo the low poly head20:26
ventrikIs higer than the boz mesh20:26
ventrikSo I have to split a lot20:26
WACOMaltfun fun20:27
WACOMaltdo you havea  low res version of the head?20:27
ventrikIt is a low res20:27
ventrikLike 250 polys20:27
ventrikBut the body was like 8020:27
WACOMaltah cool20:27
WACOMaltaahh, not cool :P20:27
WACOMaltis there a limit on the amount of polys?20:27
ventrikNaw20:27
WACOMaltbah, I cant get the adobe photoshop trial to download. stupid akamai download manager :/20:28
WACOMaltwont even open on ubuntu20:28
ventrik>.<20:29
ventrikI'm just keeping myself to stay low poly20:29
WACOMaltfair enough20:30
ventrikBecause I want to see how low I can go20:30
ventrikBut technically20:30
WACOMaltvery good idea20:30
ventrikI'm the only person under 260,000 polys20:30
ventrikWhich is the next lowest count20:30
WACOMaltawesome20:30
WACOMaltyou should always do base mesh that is a low as you can go keeping good deformations and silhouette20:30
WACOMaltthen bump it up for detail20:30
ventrikUp20:30
ventrikYup^20:30
ventrikSent20:30
ventrikPlus ref planes20:31
ventrikIn the end I'm going to make him one mesh, armour, boots, etc20:31
ventrikYes, I can't draw :/20:31
WACOMalthaha me either man.20:33
WACOMaltThe curse of being mostly technical20:33
ventrikYes!20:33
ventrikI should check into VFX, they just don't offer those classes to even touch dynamics20:33
WACOMaltHell I'll teach you stuff. It's so much fun, and very technical :P20:34
ventrikI'm that one guy that will make his verts land on snapped points or even measurements20:34
WACOMaltthat's actually a pretty good reference image20:34
ventrikThe side view isn't mine20:34
WACOMaltheheh20:34
WACOMaltawesome20:34
ventrikEssntally he is a Wizard type20:34
WACOMaltoh god.. nurbs?20:34
ventrikAnd half of him will be all torn up20:35
ventrikBecause he is so powerful it's tearing his body20:35
ventrikHence no armour on one arm20:35
WACOMaltgotcha20:35
ventrikI'll texture that to be black, with cracks of glowing awesome enegery20:35
ventrikblack/charred20:35
ventrikThe armour will go from being rusted and chipped to silver and clean20:36
ventrikAnd as far as his concept art goes, I just cut and cropped images from other concept art, photoshopped it all together20:37
ventrikLike the Assassin's Creed boots lmfao20:37
WACOMaltyour normals were effed up :P I fixed 'em20:37
ventrikYeah for a reason :p20:37
WACOMaltnice head though20:37
WACOMaltoh really?20:37
ventrikJust so I can see the faces etc20:38
WACOMaltoh gotcha20:38
WACOMalthead looks like vin deisel20:38
ventrikReally?20:38
WACOMalta bt20:38
ventrik>.<20:38
WACOMaltfrom the side anyways20:38
ventrikHe is supposed to be persian-like20:38
WACOMaltthat too20:38
WACOMalthell, judging by his head, you're a better modeler than me20:40
ventrikThat was zBrush20:41
WACOMaltzbrush counts20:41
WACOMaltanyone who says it doesn't is an idiot :P20:41
ventrikI used a default head shape that was like 20 polys or something20:41
WACOMaltaahh20:41
WACOMaltI need zbrush on linux...20:41
ventrikIt wasn't defined but it had spots for the eyes and mouth and a 4 poly nose20:42
ventrikSo I just used the move tool and shaped it and then dug in20:42
WACOMaltah cool20:45
WACOMaltyeha I never really got into zbrush20:45
ventrikAs far as modeling, I'm decent, but I really want zBrush for texturing20:45
WACOMaltbut my friend, he's a badass :P20:45
ventrikwanted^20:45
WACOMaltsolution, ue zbrush for textureing. though using normal UVs. Then save out the texture and bring it back into maya20:46
ventrikNot even that, the third option20:46
ventrikUser zBrush to make the images20:46
ventrikTo photoshop20:46
WACOMaltthere you go20:47
ventrikhttp://www.philipk.net/tutorials/materials/tilesold/tilesold.html20:47
WACOMaltthat's fun20:48
ventrikAnd quicker.20:48
WACOMaltindeed20:49
ventrikOkay fixed nino and his gimbol lockage20:50
ventrikNow to finsih the run20:50
ventrikAnd lead to a jump20:50
WACOMaltyus20:51
* WACOMalt turns your model into cloth20:51
ventriko.o20:51
ventrikIf I turned that in, I'm pretty sure he'd think I was capable of that20:51
ventriklol20:51
WACOMaltheheh20:52
ventrikI have to do a beach scene for my animation final, group project, so I'm leaning how to make small waves20:52
ventrikMaybe you can show me how that works20:52
ventrikI was going to do realflow but I need in Maya native support. But at least I know how to make a tidal wave now.20:53
ventrikIt's such an awesome short though, we are going to have the cliche desert island with a palm tree and a guy putting a message in the bottle, every time he puts the bottle out to see the waves carry it back in. So after two times he will hurl it and soon as he does he is going to start making shocked faces, you will hear someone get hit with the bottle, some short fat kid in floaties walks up, kicks him in the shin, and a20:56
WACOMaltwaves, that's a doozy for a "small" project :P20:56
ventrikWell my idea was make a plane and make it animatied casutic feflections20:57
ventrikAnd then add in a small area of wave20:57
ventrikSince we are only moving a bottle20:57
ventrikAnd they don't even have to collide with the bottle. so the wave can be purely just as is20:58
ventrikRolling up on shore20:58
ventrikJust a tiny one, no real height to it20:58
ventriklike rolling tide20:58
WACOMaltwell, if we go into 3d fluid simulations, there are some ocean preses you can play with to make work that way20:59
WACOMaltthe bottle can ripple pretty easily.20:59
WACOMaltcan you test something for me in ubuntu?21:00
WACOMaltI think its a linux thing in general21:00
WACOMaltgo to firefox, or any program, and copy some text while in that program. Then close the program and try to paste it into something else. It seems copied stuff goes away with the program21:01
WACOMalthttp://www.imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=281821:01
ventrikSorry don;t have Linux working atm21:01
ventrikWont boot because my GPU isn't supported21:01
ventrikSo I get greeted with a black and white screen21:02
ventrikI have to manage to delete the versa driver before I boot, which I can't do until I boot.21:02
WACOMaltah fun21:02
WACOMaltfailsafe graphics mode?21:02
ventrikLOL21:02
WACOMaltmine was simmilar21:02
ventrikNo idea21:02
ventrikI haven't used Linux before21:03
WACOMalthad to do failsafe, install the official nvidia drivers, then it boots fine every time21:03
WACOMaltaahh21:03
ventrikI used FreeBSD like 7 years ago but only for a month21:03
ventrikIt was a server box that I got ripped off for21:03
WACOMaltah fun21:03
ventrikI wanted to get Linux working for my 3D stuff because we both know Maya is about as stable as a woman on her period.21:05
WACOMalttrue21:05
ventrikThe Mac version of 2011 is lawl worthy21:05
WACOMaltit's gotten better recently though21:05
ventrikIf you move through any menu too fast, you crash.21:06
WACOMaltthey did a service pack that made OSX version stable21:06
WACOMaltfinally21:06
ventrikAh21:06
ventrikSchool computers don't get the updates21:06
WACOMaltand they released the same service pack for windows and linux, but it literally changed nothing21:06
ventrikNot that I use them21:06
ventrikMy laptop is better than those Macs21:06
ventrikHow's the cloth mesh o.O21:11
WACOMaltpretty :P21:19
ventriklolol21:20
ventrikOh when you first loaded him, how was my edge flow looking? Decent?21:20
ventrikI'm trying to avoid n-poles (a vert with more then 5 edges on it) Keeping it either 3 or 4 to a vert.21:21
ventrikSuch a pain21:21
iatnIs it not /etc/security/limits.conf under Maverick?21:24
iatnI've added "@audio   -   memlock     unlimited"21:24
iatnbut ulimit -l still says I've got it set to 500MB or whatever21:24
iatnand ardour is pissing and whining21:25
ventrikhttp://ardour.org/node/163821:26
ventrik?21:26
iatnSeems I have set it correctly21:28
iatnbut ulimit -l still says 48040821:29
iatnits as if its not reading limits.conf21:29
iatnDid it change in maverick?21:30
WACOMaltwoot just got photoshop cs% working flawlessly21:55
WACOMalt*CS521:56
ventrikNice21:56
ventrikNow you just need21:56
ventrikCrazyBump21:56
ventrikUV layout21:56
WACOMaltUV Layout? never tried that.21:58
WACOMaltI used to use roadkill for UVs21:58
WACOMalthavent really done any modeling since school though21:58
ventrikhttp://www.uvlayout.com/21:59
WACOMaltsick, I mean photoshop CS5 is PERFECT. smooth fonts, even has the windows 7 close buttons and whatnot. Type tool works, and even 3D import is working in photoshop :P21:59
WACOMaltdidn't expect it to go so smooth21:59
ventrikLol22:00
ventrikDoes it import MB/MA files?22:00
ventrikLike if I wanted to import my character22:00
WACOMaltno, just OBJs22:02
ventrikAh22:02
WACOMaltbut maya can export OBJs22:02
ventrikCorrect22:03
WACOMaltand you can paint directly on them in photoshop22:03
WACOMaltand the textures will work perfectly22:03
WACOMaltwhoops22:04
ventrikLOL22:04
WACOMaltnow I just need to fix Shake, and my midi and I will be back to 100% ubuntu22:04
ventrikI can't wait for this semester to be over22:04
WACOMaltaside from after effects :/22:04
ventrikI'm not taking another 3D class here22:04
WACOMaltyeah?22:04
WACOMaltgood call22:04
ventrikGranted they only offer composition after this22:05
ventrikIntro > ADV Mod and ADV Anim > Comp22:05
ventrikThat's it22:05
ventrikThese two classes are insane as it is22:05
ventrikAnd it's not hard, it's just my modeling teacher wants stupid stuff done22:05
ventrikLike that nurbs things22:05
ventrikHe made me waste a week on that22:06
ventrikA WEEK22:06
WACOMaltjebus22:06
WACOMaltand it's not even nurbs22:06
WACOMalt:P22:06
ventrikJust to only use as a silhouette to box model to, even thought he made me spend another week making my image planes.22:06
ventrikNo no, it's in the layers22:06
ventrikIn the same file22:06
WACOMaltwow22:06
ventrikJust out of spheres22:06
ventrikBut he was anal with it all22:07
ventrikWe wasted 3 weeks doing "prep" work. Which I can uncerstand having the corrrect references and resources is helpful22:07
WACOMaltbut there's a line there :P22:08
WACOMaltI gotta go man22:08
ventrikLater22:08
WACOMaltI'll prolly be back on later fixing my midi issue22:08
WACOMaltcya!22:08
virtuholstein, hi22:19
virtuholstein, today I discover that I will always get some noise with my actual soundcard, the main problem is because the microphone and line in are in the same input and don't have any protection against interference at all22:21
holsteinvirtu: sounds about right22:51
holsteinyou should try the line-out of the keyboard to the line-in on the card though22:51
holsteinthat would have the best chance22:51
virtuholstein, I tried some configs today (mic volume, capture volume, all settings) and when the mic volume is very down, no noise at all I got, but also a very low recorded volume22:52
holsteinboost it in post22:53
holsteinand see if the noise is still there22:53
holsteinjust really quiet22:53
virtuholstein, sure... just have to wait the behringer interface arrive =) (I believe that will happen at the end of this month)22:53
holsteinyou got better gear on the way anyways22:53
holsteinyeah :)22:53
virtuaham22:53
virtuaham = yes22:53
holsteini shouldnt say better22:53
holsteinmore appropriate22:53
holsteintheres nothing wrong with your internal card22:54
holsteinserves the intended purpose :)22:54
virtuyup... but even when I am listening normal music (mp3) it makes some noise22:54
virtuI'll guess this is a driver problem/bug22:55
holsteinnah22:55
virtubecause at windows 7 with old drivers I got a lot of noise listening normal music22:55
holsteini bet its hardware22:55
holsteinlaptops are loud22:55
virtuso.. with behringer all that matters will be solved22:56
holsteinhehe22:56
holsteinwell, you still dont have any preamps22:56
holsteinBUT yeah, you should get a clean line in to HD22:56
virtupreamps, why I need it?23:02
ventrikBetter power flow23:02
ventrikBoth in and out23:03
virtuwhich one do you recommended?23:04
virtua good deal (cheap with nice quality)?23:05
ventrikI only know what I used from DJing23:05
ventrikAnd I used Crown for both amp and pre23:05
virtuhttp://www.pianoclues.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/rec-rca-cable.jpg need this adapters23:06
virtuok ventrik, thanks =) I will check at google if I found something23:06
ventrikCrown isn't cheap23:06
ventriklol23:06
ed__anyone know how to connect output of hydrogen to input of audacity23:06
holsteinyeah, you dont need one23:06
holsteinwhen you need one, you'll know23:07
holsteinand you'll spend some money :)23:07
holsteined__: you can export from hydrogen right?23:07
ventrikMy friend sells audio EQ and he has a McIntosh setup23:07
ventrikIt's so nice23:07
holsteinthen import to audacity23:07
ventrikProbably like 50,000 bucks though23:08
holsteini would use JACK23:08
holsteinset that setting in hydrogen to use a track per instrument23:08
holsteinand route those in JACK23:08
* virtu remembers JACK23:08
virtu=P23:08
holsteinto separate channels in ardour23:08
virtuhttp://www.4shared.com/audio/xcy0n1fn/Final_Fantasy_-_Aeriths_Theme.html23:09
ed__i can record from hydrogen directly into ardour, wondering if you can do this with audacity23:09
virtulatest record...23:09
virtuPiano: Mellow Grand I23:09
holsteined__: audacity doesnt seem to like JACK23:09
holsteinbut again23:09
holsteinyou can record into ardour then23:09
holsteinand export a wav23:10
holsteinand import that into audacity23:10
ed__yes i guess thats the way23:10
virtuin future I'd like to use hydrogen23:10
holsteinOR just do what your doing with ardour instead of audacity23:10
ed__audacity doesn't even show up in jackctl->connect or in patchage23:10
virtuto make some beats to my piano sounds23:10
holsteined__: i tried again recently23:10
holsteinand had no luck23:10
holsteinim not really motivated though23:11
ed__holstein, yeah23:11
holsteinim not hating on audacity23:11
holsteinardour just fits my needs better23:11
ed__holstein, yes, but i have some friends stuck in windows and audacity runs on windows, and i would like some familiarity to teach them23:13
holsteinthats how i started using it :)23:13
virtudinner time... c ya23:14
holsteinvirtu: laterx23:14
=== virtu is now known as virtu_searching_
ed__holstein, do you know why timidity always shows up in patchage, but not in jackctl->connect?23:16
holsteinhmmm23:17
holsteinnot sure23:17
holsteinthings got moved around on me23:17
holsteinwhen i went to JACK223:17
holsteini use a2jmidid23:18
holsteinto connect some things that i used to connect differently23:18
holsteinthere are some settings in the qjackctl23:18
holsteinthat can affect that23:18
holsteinAFAIK23:18
holsteinmaybe you tweaked them?23:18
ed__i'll look23:18
