[rendercat] the goldman morgan logo - blender

Well, i got suckered into trying to fix /ubasti during daylight because there were only four eligible voters according to the criteria (which are different for all three @ubasti @sakhmet @maahes but that's in the description ... i think)

(mh , i use #gamedev since it will be a simulation of sorts ... but with returns and coin to play @tyrnannoght)

Which ended me up with about 3 hours lost staring at alien code i wrote myself and once again proves the theory of daylight.

21:13

which leave me wanting for my daily post because i didnt do anything at all actually but change three lines so there's less code in getting the max_eligible heh ...

so i'll do a quick thing on the blender @goldmanmorgan logo because i suppose i will be doing plenty more on blender later on anyway (that way utopian can upvote me on the #tutorial to $5000 because the EU will regulate steem to 5million sbd by next week and ofcourse i do like fish ...)

no i never get tired of that, awfully funny if you ask me

here goes

ah yea i read something on tips and tricks and hacks where you're supposed to upvote yourself within the first 30 minutes of posting for some extra cents or promilles, i never knew and actually ... i dont think nitpicking cents gets anything but wasted time in return

but that's all ... i dont see that much change in HF20 for myself but we will see all of that when its here

on the matter of understanding systems i gave the answer today already here , well that's in case you need #steemit content ofcourse because this is "just some" ... whatever it is ... i think i should get the option to double one of my comments as a daily post ... would save me much time and get me a lot more for it too hah (no, ofCOURSE not precious, no one is here for the money, everyone just dislikes facebook that bad they all come running over) yes and i know i know, "know your place, peasant" and all that, and if i put 7 times 12 hours into this , its not work want dat was niet masjen ... i heard it

all of it

and i keep repeating it daily but you dont see to hear what i say , no love no life, no nothing until i'm out of belgium with my cat

and i certainly dont have time or money for halloween so you can stick that dastardly manipulation plan up yo momma's

01:55 near posting time, i thought the message of the day was gt != ge but it seems to be more than that, i wonder how it ran without error for 80 distros lol .. tsk ... must be skynet in my cables on top of the spies

STEP 1: GET BLENDER

its probably THE most powerful absolutely 100% free tool after linux itself (my personal flavour is mint cinnamon, i quit ubuntu when they introduced unity or what was that called and i actually never looked back since , this thing runs perfectly on my massive celeronpowered "working" pc and my miniserver linux/lamp (no mysql, i dont need sql for a few thousand max items, the EXT filesystem handles that perfectly well in flatfiles)

but lets not get off-topic before i'm accused of making three posts at once while i could spread that about three times a whopper

step 2 : install blender

install blender ? well, unzip blender to wherever you like , open the folder and click the blender icon ... thats " *install blender* "

---

okay blender installed

step 3 : do that thing

• right click on the cube (you always get a cube for starters) , press the del key and select (tadaa) "delete"
• on the left-hand side select the tab "create" and click "plane"
• select the plane (right click to select objects and press 'n' ) , that will open up a properties panel on the side with (YAY) lots of numbers :)
• since we want it texture we want it to be the same aspect ratio as the bitmap we will be using so on the right
• go wild on the numpad, it will show you all different angles you can look at your "scene", dance around with it just to get the looks of it
  -press "tab" to go from object mode into edit mode with the plane selected , then press "u" , in the popup menu select "unwrap"

and then some

• on the right hand side look for the little spherical icon that says "material" and select "new material", then the one to the right of that with the checkerboard and select "new" (texture)
• load anything from your harddrive, if its got the same aspect ratio as what you set it should fit right away

• now for the text, on the left side where you created the plane, click (...BOMbomBOMbom...) add text :p

• o woops i cant see text ... oh DUH , press "tab" first to get back into object mode and there it is

• now to enter the text, you select (right click) the text object you just inserted and press "tab" AGAIN, this will go back to edit mode and you can just type "blablawhateveryouwant"

• assuming the properties window is still open (when pressing "n" at the start" this might be a good time to start arranging it a bit , im not gonna give a course in photo lighting and trigonometry here but x,y,z position and x,y,z rotation shouldnt be too hard a concept if you want to do this, thats ALL in the properties window (where you set the inital aspect ratio of the plane), stay in object made (tab tab tab tab tab object <-> edit ) and put them wherever you want, scale them rotate them, move the camera, move the light, and use the numpad to get a view from all angles until you think its what you want, in my case a frontal camera view because its a logo

• then ofcourse you want a snazzy font so you pray to the 1e100 or whatever gets you hard, for guidance and look for "public domain FREE fonts" (unless you wanna pay for it ofcourse) and find one that explicitly says "free for commercial use" , its steemit after all and these days people sue you over half a cent if they think they got ripped, assuming you know how to use a search engine i will do a different tutorial on using google later lol, just download it anywhere and load (check the pic on the right) it into blender and bob's your uncle for sure

then when you got it all arranged to your satisfaction, press F12 or click "render" on the top bar

(positions might vary depending on how bad you screwed up the UI, its not just some program you get up and about with , it took me some youtubing to get even this but i got it)

_{yagh, just a minute here, ive been mucking around with my autovoters to keep it simpler (for me heh) and i ofcourse copy-pasted code from one to another and now one took links from the other so ... just a minute here ...}

yagh ... i think that should work, i'll see in 13 minutes and TA-DAAAM

maybe they should introduce a 60 minute rule or something for my posts seeing as i already have 1096 words again by now

anyways ... please upvote to $400 because my cat needs food more than me and its gonna be slim the next few months

@rudyardcatling @ubasti @sakhmet @maahes @goldmanmorgan @tyrnannoght, i see no reason to hide myself , if you want to support vote @rudyardcatling and @goldmanmorgan, later @tyrnannoght , if you want a chance at something that's worth more than your plankton vote the other three, if you're whale split your $1000 vote fiveways please, make everyone happy (wel, gm is more like splitways and a sidekick to tyrnannoght which i'll need before i can start on that but i found if i spill too many beans i dont have yet fat fish try to pull a microsoft or facebook on my ass, not here, cos i havent done "here" yet, but in my general past experience ...)

thanks

me yes its the august one but i dont see much reason to update it yet

and that's it , all this time i could have been tinkering @goldmanmorgan while i has a moment of clarity
