aevaI started learning Houdini tonight. And by Houdini, I mean Blender Geometry Nodes :3
I'm hoping to construct an ad-hoc level editor for my driving game thing and export point sets for object placement, curves for the roads, and height maps for elevation. I'm not sure how to make blender shit out a sparse height map, but I'm sure I'll find some abominable way to do it with python.
I wonder if my old wacom tablet still works 🤔
weird, pressure sensitivity doesn't seem to work anymore, but otherwise it seems fine???
ok the gnome wacom settings test panel thing shows the pressure sensitivity working just fine, so I guess it's just the gimp that's the problem hopefully
aaand it crashes blender :|
there's too much linux in here >:(
yup completely random which applications it works with. blender doesn't pick it up at all?
by any chance is this yet another thing wayland fucked up?
I'm gonna have to install Windows again to use this thing aren't I
Yup. It's wayland. again! it's always fucking wayland! I hate you so much wayland. The tablet works fine with Blender if I restart Gnome in Xorg mode. This operating system is such a fucking joke my hands are shaking with anger right now.
If you're going to wander into my mentions to tell me that it's good actually preferred even that the wayland team broke an entire ecosystem of applications that was working just fine for the last 20 years, do me a favor and just go block yourself instead? I'm not in the mood.
when linux gives you wayland you burn linux's house down
I made some progress tonight on learning #GeometryNodes! I made a little relief with an elevation map of Kauaʻi and a blue noise texture to hide the banding.
it's amazing how much blender has changed since i first spent several hours making a shitty gingerbread man in it back in '02
Miss Aemilia🎀@aeva What blew me away is how fast new contributions and contributors steamrolled in once we got the new ui in 2.80. Genuine paradigm shift, blender became something every 3D industry started watching overnight, instead of that weird hobbyist program no one worth their salt actually used and all that other nonsense.
@MissAemilia all this after like decades of ton saying no we can't just peel off the ui and put a better one on
@aeva
In a way, I'm glad it took a long time because a lot of care, consideration and effort got put into the new UI and that all clearly paid off.
