Remember Collada? Yeah the format is pretty much dead at this point, but Blender still has it (because of Sketchup, Chief Architect, Bricklink Studio etc.). However it felt increasingly uncomfortable to continue using OpenCollada (that embeds old 3rd party libraries with several dozen known security issues). So here's a "cleanup fork" of OpenCollada that gets rid of the security issues part (but also gets rid of everything Blender does not need). https://github.com/aras-p/OpenCOLLADA

@aras Will this patch be also implemented into one of the upcoming Blender updates?

Lent on the arm of my office chair and it went pop, a small piece of plastic fell off and now the arm is stuck and loose in the frame.
I think I will be hitting the tool box in the morning, nothing sharp though 😂

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 I've searched for an answer already, but the examples/solutions are mostly outdated or too complex for my understading.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

@mbt3d This was "not exactly" what I expected, Mark. Hoped for a quick code sample... 😊

@metin @mbt3d ☺️ I thought I try the old school way first... 😜

"Blender is NOT free!".
A strong statement by Robert Rioux, also known as 'Blender Bob,' with which I completely agree. Think about it. 🙂

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 Do you have a special reason to sculpt the figure in one peace? I always try to divide all objects to keep control over them and get better gaps later when melting them together. I your example I would start separated. Nose, ears, eyes, hair, chest, arm parts, etc. All separate. At the end, I join and melt them together. I like this way because it gives more freedom in sculpting. So I can always change the size of the nose or ears, at any time.

@metin I was just curious. There're different ways to work. Just for "doodling around" this is definitely a good option. I like the seperated way, because it provides faster results and I save time. 🙂
