What would you like to have?

The brain has 2 hemispheres,the left and the right.The left hemisphere is generally for creative endeavours,the right for analytical type problem solving {depends on handedness}.When you have been sketching for quite some time and you look at your watch and it way past the hour you thought it was thats because you shifted from one hemipshere to the other,or the creative side from the analytical.The creative side has no real ability to judge time passed,so thats why so much time goes bye bye when you are drawing,however if you were drawing and make say a line and you name it the line in your head as you are doing it the other hemipshere will appear with a rush again and unless you can shift easily between one to the other as the majority of artists can do you will find the image becomes a bit mechanical because the analytical side is now drawing your image.Its like adults who are asked to draw a human being and they draw something like a stick figure and get really annoyed,well this because as children we used to draw stick figures and this logged in the brain,but many years later the moment you are asked to draw a figure this log pops up,its kind of like this,I want to draw a figure,the creative side trys to start the process and the analytical jumps n front and screams I know how to do it and quickly produces the old stick figure log again,however if you learn to cognitvely shift anyone can become at the minimum a reasonable artist,its about a shift from one hemisphere to the other.A very good book on this subject is Betty Edwards Drawing on The Right Side of The brain,it explains the process better then I can.Between the hemipsheres is a tangle of like wires called the Corpus Callosum and it joins the left and right side of the brain together,without the connection people can not recognise one of their hands as being their own etc :slight_smile:

Ok rant over.

Oh ya I am left handed and calligraphy is a real bitch.

Someone should nvent a numeric pad with some command keys that clips to the side of your puter at a 80 degree angle say.

Mmm calligraphy had to do it in commercial arts a bit, couldn’t do it verywell either, its all wrong :slight_smile:

You can by seperate numeric pads, granted you then have two numeric pades but meh, besides I use a speedpad so I don’t have these problems anyways, if Thirdeye’s suggestion was doen, I would change my set up a little and use the direction pad to work just like a nintendo would :slight_smile:

Since we are totally off topic, Why is it that consoles always have the D-pad on the left side of the controller and the computer usually has the direction control on the right side of the keyboard

My comment about accuracy comes from playing games like Quake and Unreal. Yeah, you need a lot of accuracy to blow up the baddies with a chain gun or bazooka–not. My experience was that when you tried some real precise movement there was a tendency to overshoot/undershoot translation and/or rotation. Maybe I just suck at games? :slight_smile:

#255

I don’t read all of posts, very long huh :rolleyes:

My wishlist is maybe ugly but I must tell;

-More Customize Handles [ie. alt key for rotate camera]
-Node Base [EVERYTHING]
-N-GON [of course]
-Animation Capable Painting System - ie. Newtek Aura [it will be very cool]
-Hypervoxel [maybe rewrite pyrocluster]

My real wonders at the end of list!
[b]

  • New rendering engine.
  • Support parallel network rendering.
  • Linux version!
    [/b]
    Yes, If Maxon want to be Great must port Linux version. Everyday Linux comes to close to close to close …
#256

Do the numeric pads also have command keys?

I read somewhere there will be a Windows version of Linux in development soon.

Personally I think some more modelling tools will make another chunk of the 3d community make the jump to C4D.Man I hope we get n gons,its what everyone measures C4D by now :hmm:

Whats wrong with our render engine???..do you mean because we dont have sss and HDRI inbuilt?

Windows version of linux, that makes no sense, if its windows its windows if its linux its linux,impossible to be both. heck even getting them to work together is hard enough as I’m now discovering, especialy when on the same system :confused:

#258

i’m a lefty who uses the mouse righty…hey the whole is designed around rightys…

think the game movement idea is not such a bad idea on the whole even if it got a slating…it may just be that what we are actually saying is that we are not happy with the current method of doing it.

windows running linux…there is a version…but its a non starter imho…rather wine version…eg linux…running windows apps. either way dedicated version of net render and any other linux developments are a bonus, again imho.

(ps. supposedly and this is not a woman/man slur…but if you ask a woman and a man to draw a bike…the man always draws a working tech version…eg the chain, spokes, pedels…whereas woman go for the concept part…strange but…true…ask your friends to do it…wierd).

Completely agree with that. But I have to add this is happen to pure unilateral feelings from who are not think on it!

This thread will be sticky till we send Maxon the list :wavey:

#261

Heres another one, using the shapes SQUARE, CIRCLE and TRIANGLE. Simply tell your friend to “draw a simple shape like…” then name any TWO of those shapes, and tell them “not to show it to you.” Now tell them that they drew the third shape and you’ll be right almost any time.

The thing is the brain immediately cancels out the two mentioned and goes for the third most common shape, occasionally you’ll get smomeone a little more creative who draws a pentagon or rhombus, but if you say Circle or Square, the will typically draw a triangle.

And then there is always this trick:

(if you wonder how it does it doe a couple of numbers on a pad of paper and not the answers have something in common.)

Puting that authority to use already eh :wink:

#263

Enjoying the new toys :stuck_out_tongue:

#264

you might want to take the Group project off the list i mean its kinda dead

#265

hey ThirdEye_01
what sort of timescale where you looking at? just after r8 update or something else…:slight_smile:

#266

Timescale? What do you mean? :surprised

#267

i mean’t to give it to maxon…your doc/presentation.:hmm:

#268

Oh sorry… Yep, i’ll wait for 8.1 then i’ll give Srek the whole thing :wink:

#269

cool…do we know when 8.1 is due…just out of interest i heard two weeks…is this bull-dust or gold-dust?:drool:

#270

It’s a matter of seconds i think… I mean… they could be 10, 60, 600, 6000… :smiley:

#271

I don’t think this has been mentioned, but I would really really really appreciate it if we could get an accurate OpenGL display of procedural textures. It would make surfacing sooo much nicer.
