it isn't!
use blender.exe -w iirc, use -h to get more info
simply modify your shortcut link.
just the button is gone.

It only removes borders, isn't it. I mean fullscren with no window title and no task bar.

I wrote that on the properties field of a shortcut to Blender:

"C:\Archivos de programa\Blender Foundation\blenderbf-2.36-windows\blender.exe" -w

And nothing happens. What I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks gabio for your continued good work.

Thanks also to Ton for resolving the issue of filename length in the sequencer. It's now:-

- entire directory paths max 160 chars
- file names themselves max 80 chars
- total (file + dir) max 256 chars

It also will not load the file if it’s larger than these.

On another point I have been experimenting with the current build and the widgets. I know how to activate them with the CTRL+SPACE and CTRL to cycle Grab, Rotate, Size, but how do I view the other widgets i.e. the 2D versions? The http://www.blender.org/bf/rt.html shows all the examples is it possible to view these in the current test build and if so how do I do that?

Anyway, some exciting developments in Blender.

COG, go to the render buttons F10 and look for the rt button. Change the rt number and you'll see differnt versions o the widget.

to samadam:
use blender.exe -w iirc doesn't work
use blender.exe -f for more info crashes blender

Many thanks infinder,

I personally like rt:0 Its chunkiness makes it easy to select no matter what orientation you have to the widget. The 2D versions are a little tricky to select if you are edge on to them.

Just my thoughts.

i have the download problem too. I can easily download the zip, but it's corrupted, so I think it's incomplete. Can anyone provide a mirror for this build? And i hope Gabio will cope with the problem without any big effort

I'm eager to see the wind, SB and the stuff in motion...

After trying out the other transform widgits, I Ctrl Z'd ... and nothing. Undo didn't work after transform.

Just thought you would like to know.

Here is the runtime:

no, a softbody animation can be rendered right now,
but it runs the softbody simulation code 'live'.
The consequence is:
Dynamic processes with friction are 'history aware'
means the further evolution of the system depends on what happend in the past.

In practice this means you have to start rendering at the same frame number to have the same result, which is very time consuming when you need to rerender frame 0..2000 just because you made changes in frame 1970.

Is collision handling included in the current SB engine? I'm asking because I haven't found a way of doing it and it would be a very useful thing to have. Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere in this thread.

fonz2591 · Post by **fonz2591** » Sun Apr 10, 2005 6:27 pm

this build doesn't support collision
im hopeful (but doubtful) that the next will
im not sure if the next final realese of blender will have collision

Doesn't render correctly with YAFRAY though, unless softbody button set to off. Softbody is translated on Z axis, I think. Will this be fixed?

I tried to ask at elysiun, but with poor luck:
I take the provided template (waving cloth:on wind) and cut the hole in it. Then the softbody tended to fall down (the pinned vertices too!)

Does the softbody support this kind of geometry (plane with hole), or it is a bug? Or I made a false step? (The original blend worked) (if i cut some verts that do not change the topology: from the bottom for example: then the SB works fine)

btw.: very thanks, fonz2591, for the runtime!
