That face you make when the riggers ask for a new feature that will complicate the pipeline in so many ways because their code, which they wrote, can't handle a model with non-unique node names.
Just like a CO2, Carbon Monoxide or propane, the alarms have a lifecycle of 7 years so, it's 15 years out of date. I was on an important phone call when the alarm began sounding randomly.
I pulled it out to replace it, and #Teddy discovered an unexplored hole. Like any male, he thinks his belly will fit. I thought he was going to get his head stuck.
My oldest cat wants to eat whatever I eat. She was having such a fit over the baked potato I was eating, that I gave her a piece to prove that she would not like it..
And then she ate it? #Caturday#Maya

j/: Jetzt sei mal nicht so unzufrieden!--Der prognostizierte Weltuntergang des heidnischen #Maya-Kalenders in 2012 hätte so richtig übel für uns werden können!--Dieser Kelch ging aber nochmal an uns vorbei. /j
What wizardry is the MACHIN3tools plugin pulling with its ctl+g group feature that creates an 'EMPTY' that is only visible in the viewport when its selected in the Outliner, without toggling this outliner display flag? Its roughly emulating the #maya groups via Empties.
I am wondering how to recreate this with the python API. I could go dig thru their code, but hoping one of you amazing #blender heads already knows :)
Today in Writing History July 12, 1562: Fray Diego de Landa, Bishop of Yucatán, burned the sacred idols and books of the Maya. There were many Mayan books in print at the time of the conquest. They were produced as codices, or folding books, printed on bark paper by professional scribes and were the main written record of Maya civilization. De Landa wrote: “We found a large number of books in these characters and, as they contained nothing in which were not to be seen as superstition and lies of the devil, we burned them all, which they regretted to an amazing degree, and which caused them much affliction.” There are four known Mayan codices still in existence.
Then there are those phenomena who tell you that with #Blender you can't do animations of a certain level, always people who use #Maya, and who think that the world is what they have seen. Work by Chris Jones in #Blender3D#b3d#animations
#OpenUSD has a prim.GetName() but no prim.SetName()! I know how to edit primpaths via an sdf.layer but having a .SetName() would have meant i could be solving another problem right now instead of bashing my head against moving stage data to a sdf.layer and back!
Okay I have found a way to rename prims and the primpath as required... Its a brute force technique but thankfully having this working opens up so many options for our workflow.
Sadly this due to #Blender not allowing objects at different locations in the scene graph tree to have identical names, like #maya and #houdini
Beautiful 2022 Science cover, featuring a 10th-century Maya structure at Chichen Itza called the Observatory for its expansive view of the sky and a design guided by key positions of the ☀️, 🌒, and planets
