@ketre it told me that the discord link is no longer active.
@theluthier Blender Support is here! Okay I got bligify working properly. I had the wrong zip file installed. The install and readme is on GitHub: https://github.com/doakey3/Bligify/releases
It did everything for me: render a blender animation sequence and then converted the images to a gif. I just had to wait an extra minute while it plugged and chugged away after the render was completed!!!! so cool…….just make sure to Read the Freaking Manual before starting, unlike me.
Here’s my Sand Dune tire gif from his tutorial:
Made with the help of Spikeyxxx and the Blender Add-on: BligifyOk now back to “brass tacks”. I’ll go get some relevant gifs to show off regarding the problem areas.
Alright, here’s the skinny: I uploaded my Angle Bracket Clash on my own Forum posting here https://blog.cgcookie.com/forums/topic/wouldnt-you-say-that-crease-may-have-porting-issues-to-other-tools/
@dostovel, GREG-MCKIM (sorry I don’t know your at mention name) @artifact: see these two reference images:
GREG-MCKIM and ARTIFACT your comments are in Purple. The loader arms and engine enclosure are intersecting: Clash of the Blendz
Omar your comments are in red and light blue. Lower hydraulic is intersecting with fuel fill: Clash of the Blendz Vol. 2.
And Battery Box heights appear inconsistent (notice the snipped battery wires are lower on the X-ray image).
Omar: Air Gap and Clash of Blendz Vol. 2 (red AND light blue)
Omar: No Air Gap
Couple of intersecting pointsDoes anybody else see the Cookie shadow, or is it just me???
I see it, the funky shadows.
@doulos4iesou (Greg McKim) , @artifact , with reference to @blanchsb problem with the clash of the engine enclosure, I think the engine enclosure is actually slightly narrow at the cab end or at least the same, doesn’t get wider, I think I remember @theluthier mention it in one of the live streams.
This image shows a good view, lens distortion probably not helping but the pistons and the loading arm will be as straight as a die, with that as reference it looks fairly straight, maybe narrower as it rounds over the top.
@dostovel with reference to the battery box the scale may need to be checked, remember the reference image has been scaled according to other sources. Also I think they need to be moved back an inch or two in the Y axis.
And I noticed an angle to one side of your boxes, I cant seem to line up the rear fenders with it. Looking at the image below the angle maybe the other side (1), also they need to move forward in the X axis for the step to line up better with the cab (2) and the rear (right in this image) side needs more of a curve (3). This would help me with the fenders as well as @blanchsb with the loader arm.
Found an Image for the pound.
Top view, shows the shape of cab or at least the roof. @ketre @hellosudeepsingh @ryzen7 @theluthier
Also the shape of the engine towards the cab does indeed narrow. @doulos4iesou @artifact
The battery box also slightly back and forward @dostovel
Maybe of use for the bucket as in width in comparison to the rest. Probably about the same width as the stabilizers @pfbourassa
No use for the wheels though, the front looks like a gokart wheel. Sorry @spikeyxxx @duerer @shanr @ryzen7
Definitely 434E in the top right corner
Ok I will do my part. The angle they have I took it from this images, after you stare at them for long enough you start noticing those kind of things.
