Hi Jms,

I'm curious, are you doing any programming with the sources or are you only recompiling the cvs periodically ? Even if it's "only" the latter, I know that is a major undertaking of time and effort and I'm very grateful that you're doing it !

If you are programming, are there any specific areas of the program that you're working on?

Do you have some partial/completely automatic process that downloads/compiles/uploads the program?

How often are builds uploaded? I've been checking fairly regularly lately and it seems like it's 2-3 times a day.

Io you have some partial/completely automatic process that downloads/compiles/uploads the program?

Wonderfull python : scons (+ a script of mine but just to create a zip archive). Does it possible to make a complete automatic process ?

[LetterRip]

jms - yep you could completely automate it

just have a daemon do a daily cvs update, then run scons, etc.

There are one or two people that do that that i've heard of...

Tested with builds : 2006-5-2 22:30, and 2006-5-2 11:08:40

When I use edit-duplicate or edit-duplicate linked I seem to get the same result ... a "duplicate-linked" new object.

Bug? ... Feature ??

I'm using object-make single user as a work-around for now to get a 'non-linked' duplicate.

mstram :
look for Users Preferences -> Edit Methods -> Duplicate with object .
Modify and then made a ctrl-u to Save user defaults .

Ok, thx.

It seems strange to me that you have to turn on an option to enable an implied behavior. I see now that in my 2.41 'stock install' those options were on by default.

Sort of like having to enable an option so that when you choose the color red that you actually get red and not green

With 'Edit Methods -> Duplicate with object' turned OFF, is there any difference between SH-D and ALT-D ?

Make a copy with the two methods then try to modify each copy and see what the original mesh becomes .

Hi,
Im pretty new to blender so please excuse if this is posted to the wrong place. I used the new object script "UVcopy" in the objects/scripts menu:

I have a basemesh setup of a character with various vertex groups for both material assignement and skinning purposes. This mesh has no intelligent UVs yet. I do then export his mesh without material groups and without applying modifiers as an "obj". This mesh is imported unaltered into Zbrush and some UVs are assigned and the object is then exported unaltered besides the new UVs to "obj" again. I import on layer two, flip normals first, select the old mesh then and add the new mesh to selection. I use UVcopy and get a success message in the console. But if i test UVs with a simple color texture, the look screwed up They are not the same at all although they have changed on the old mesh.

I think i narrowed it down to either the obj. export script screwing up vertex order or then UVcopy does a mess (which would be sad, as its a incredibly useful feature for me). It could as well be user error, but i spent a whole day retrying all sort of things without success. so i hope that isnt the case.

The blend file can be downloaded here: www.notone.ch/animotion4.blend

, if you render you will see the difference on the face of the character. Any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Hi Erklaerbar,

This thread is specifically about the version of blender that is released in the first post of this thread, i.e. basically the latest Windows version.

You're probably more likely to get a response either

Sorry, I can't help with your problem, it's beyond my Blender knowledge at the moment

updated and, as always, MSVC compil' is more complete (one can use win32 codec : quicktime, divx ...) and faster than the GCC one .

[jms]

What can i say ? updated every day .
Under scons and msvc, the script does not find this src.lib and needs to be reloaded many and many times before to reach the end of the compilation . Is it possible to make src.lib a bit shorter, with less obj files ?

In May 17th compilation, el'beem does not seem to work correctly .
