Blender Doodle:
A little texture exercise.

I'm relative new in Python and still struggle with some basic logic. I've searched for an answer already, but the examples/solutions are mostly outdated or too complex for my understading.

Can someone give me an quick up to date example how to check if "any object is selected" and return a True or False then, or "do something" if True.

Thank you a lot!

Something like this:

if anyobjectseleted():
do this
else:
do that

Started a new SDF modeling project in MagicaCSG.

It's going to be a sci-fi drone. More updates will follow tomorrow.

"It is well-known that some Boeing 747s, for example, use floppy disks to load critical software updates into their navigation and avionics computers.

In San Francisco, the Muni Metro light railway, which launched in 1980, won't start up each morning without a floppy disk that controls the railway's Automatic Train Control System."

@metin 5 1/4" and up Floppies, 3 1/2" Stiffies, well at least that's what we called them back in the day 😂

I get the nostalgia but as a storage device they are crap small and vunerable to magnetic erasure, I know I wiped a whole box once by storing them near an electric meter 😮

Okay I am calling this one for now. Pretty much figured out everything I wanted to and have a good feeling about the workflow again.

I changed the colour scheme back to red as the green was crap 😂

Look what I just found!
They were on top of the kitchen cabinets, I was installing a light and thought maybe they are there and they were, sorely missed my little blue pliers. I have had them a very long time, if you notice they are made in West Germany 😀

@metin The shadows on these are interesting, a sci-fi esque feel, maybe a star trek badge.
I love happy accidents like this.

Google is so good now that the only place my worked showed up in a search was on a thieving rip off con site:

Nice that they left my logo on 😂

@metin Maybe and I am a fake 😂
This shit has been going on forever, I am annoyed but more annoyed that is turns up in a search and the orginal not.
C'est la vie.

@metin @f4grx Checked the accessibility and it is fine.

@mbt3d@fosstodon.org avatar

@f4grx @metin To be sure you would need to check with someone with a reader, but the text is showing in source as ASCII and so I would hope the readers could find it. I don't know though as I haven't access to one.

@mbt3d@fosstodon.org avatar

@f4grx @metin Selecting and using Apple text to speech fails though.
But selection search works, so as I say I am not sure, and would err on the side of caution and not use it

I an age of trackpads and fingerprint readers I managed to cut the end of my index finger, on the dominant hand of course.
I was cleaning some gluey stuff of a pair of scissors, and of course, me being me, I manged to slice the tip.
So I am now going to be a middle finger track operator.

Started a new sculpting project in Blender Sculpt Mode.

I love SDF modeling, but I also like to remain adroit in traditional 3D sculpting. Both techniques have their own charm.

In this stage I'm determining the global shapes and add some crude first details.

More'll follow soon.

@metin Good 'cause I was thinking of Vlad, which I thought you wouldn't want to model 😂

@metin This is really nice Metin, the texture lighting make this into a really nice portrait, as Kai said American gothic, Grant Wood comes to mind.

It would be nice if there where a way to turn off animated avatars here, perhaps there is?
I find them distracting and frankly pretentious.
One option would be muting I suppose.

Modo and Vray working it is all falling back into place, after a few years of not using it.
This is a model from 4 years back.

@metin Thanks, I will have to look as I didn't go into the shader tree yet. But I guess so seems like the easist way to do it , and I like easy 😂

Started a new little modeling project in MagicaCSG.

More will follow today.

Would you like to have a go at SDF 3D modeling? There's a free (feature-limited) demo version of MagicaCSG available now:
