#trying to write a python script for blender

[dogesterone]

my code works! :D

but also my code doesn't work :(

[canmom]

(tl;dr - this is a post about a cool thing I did in Blender for my job.)

It turns out you can 100% use scipy in blender to numerically solve a differential equation and use that to drive the animation of an object and it’s not even that hard. There’s a few quirks - I couldn’t just index the array I produced with the ‘frame’ member of the driver namespace, but I had to write a custom function to look up the frame and index the array. But I got it working! And it looks really cool.

In this case, I was rendering an animation to show a magnetic dipole (a loop of wire carrying a current) flipping from its unstable equilibrium position to the stable one and settling there (with damping). This has exactly the same equation of motion as a pendulum in a uniform gravitational field. Solving it exactly requires some weird special functions, and it's much much much easier to treat it numerically...

To get it working in Blender, I wrote a Python script, which generates the angle \(\theta\) that the dipole turns to over 6000 time steps using SciPy’s numerical integration. Then, it takes every 40th time step to get the angle for each frame of animation, and creates a custom function with the data in scope which looks up the current frame and uses that to index the array of angles.

import bpy import scipy.integrate as integrate import numpy as np pi = np.pi sin = np.sin damping = 0.15 spring = 0.04 def derivative(theta_vector, t): theta, thetadot = theta_vector return [thetadot, - damping * thetadot - spring * sin(theta)] t = np.linspace(0, 120, 6000) theta_vector_init = [pi-0.001, 0] theta_vector = integrate.odeint(derivative, vinit, t) theta, thetadot = theta_vector.T theta_frames = theta[0::40] def th(): return thetaframes[bpy.context.scene.frame_current] bpy.app.driver_namespace['th'] = th

After that, I set a driver to call the function ‘th()’, and suddenly my dipole was beautifully flipping around. The arrows etc. are set to follow the rotating loop of wire using various combinations of constraints, so that they’re always facing the orthographic camera. Tweaking the parameters requires me to run the script again, so in that sense it’s not ideal - if I wanted to do this frequently, it might be worth creating a Blender addon which lets you type in a differential equation, then tweak parameters with sliders.

I rendered the frames (150 frames), then used gifski to turn it into an animation with nice quality. (Unfortunately downscaling so that it can go on tumblr reduces that quality quite a bit and introduces a whole lot of aliasing but eh).

The artists on the site have a particular style that's very sharp and vector based, but I have been more or less able to approximate it in Blender using the cycles Toon shader node, not using Filmic colour so I could exactly match the colours they chose, and using Freestyle to draw outlines. For lighting, I used an HDRI of a studio with some bright lights from HDRI Haven, which (with some tweaking using vector nodes) got some decent specular highlights that kind of looked like the drawing.

It was kind of a weird process really - when I was originally writing the questions, I did a render with a realistic metal shader lit by a HDR, then the artist drew over it with vectors and drew in specular highlights manually, and then to match her style for my animations, I had to like... try and figure out a combination of shaders that have more or less the same look as the fake specular highlights she drew.

There’s some glitchiness with some of the Freestyle outlines that I could probably fix by putting things onto separate renderlayers, but my boss is already really happy with this, which is a nice change from ‘hmm how long did you spend on this Blender stuff? please could you just focus on writing’ lol

Its not that much different than writing a self-hosted effect.Īny effect or tool you might want to contribute is welcome. Why not shoot for something crazy like a light blast originating from keys being pressed this time? How to create an effect to be used in the daemon ? You can set the key colors by manually setting the pos. This is just a simple example using a ascii helper,if your profile needs to color function keys ,etc Gcc -std=c99 dota_keys.c -lrazer_chroma -lm -o dota_keysĪfter executing it you should now have a dota profile lighting up your keyboard.(dont forget to sudo)

Razer_set_key_pos(chroma->keys,&pos,&blue) ĭont forget to update the keyboard with the new led color values: Razer_set_key_pos(chroma->keys,&pos,&green) Struct razer_rgb red = //define a light blue color In this example i just setup the keyboard for a dota profile How to create a standalone effect easily using the included library ?įirst of all we need an idea what the effect shall do. Or simply call daemon_controller/razer_bcd_controller -h There is also a function called unbind_all which as you would You can source the file and then run bind_all, this will attempt to bind chromas and skip any already binded. These functions bind and unbind the chroma to the kernelĭriver. In the file /usr/share/razer_bcd/bash_keyboard_functions.sh there are some functions used before and after the daemon is started/stopped. (someone may even write a Gui to control the daemon, maybe like the node editor in blender) Bash functions The daemon uses dbus as its IPC mechanism, so you are not bound to shell scripts :: the following command will create a render node for the effect with the unique id: 8 ::Īnd take a look at the daemon and tests sub directories in scripts.

Creating Vector Graphics

While making icons for StoryDevs it became obvious that raster graphics (i.e., images made of pixels) wouldn’t cut it. I wanted to be able to scale the images up or down without losing quality. This post is about me learning how to make vector graphics and the best free program I could find to make them.

Part 0: What Are Vector Graphics?

Most images you interact with on a computer are probably raster images which are made up of a grid of pixels. Common formats for such images are JPEG, PNG, GIF, and so on. When you zoom in on a raster image you can see the individual pixels, and scaling them up tends to look pretty nasty.

In contrast, vector graphics are made up of paths as shown below. You can zoom in forever and it will always be sharp as only the path info is saved, not the pixels that represent them on your screen. When you zoom in on a vector graphic it essentially re-renders the path again so it’s always smooth and clean:

Paths can be straight or curved. Paths can be stroked, which means a coloured line follows the path (as in the gif above), or they can be filled, meaning the interior of the shape is filled with colour. As far as I know, the only vector graphic format supported in modern web browsers SVG — Scalable Vector Graphics.

Part 1: Everything Is A Nail

I’m a 3D artist who can do a little digital painting if bullied. My first approach was to avoid learning a new skill and instead try mapping the problem to a domain I was already confident in. I had Blender and Photoshop installed but Photoshop barely does vector stuff. That left Blender.

Above you can see I modeled the icon for writing Blender. I then downloaded an old Python script that allowed you to render line art to an SVG file. This turned out okaaaay but there was a problem: it wasn’t exporting curves where there were curves… it was exporting segmented paths.

So this meant every time the line curved slightly it created a new segment, leading to a somewhat jagged line. Furthermore, the lines weren’t properly connected in the corners for some reason.

As you can see above the Blender SVG output was janky; you can see the segments even at normal zoom levels. Unfortunately I didn’t know the reason it looked bad at this point. So in the process of troubleshooting it I opened up the SVG file in my text editor. This is how it looked:

To my surprise it was written in XML (eXtensible Markup Language)! XML is similar to HTML — they’re both languages for categorising and storing data. The tags in each language are used to describe the data. If your document has a title, for example, you’d wrap it in a title tag <title>Like This</title>.

For now just ignore everything and look at the <path> tags with a bunch of numbers inside them. Those numbers describe the positions for points along the path. They’re all floating point numbers (i.e., they have a fractional part after the decimal point) rather than integers (whole numbers).

I’d read online that SVGs render best in browsers when there’s only integer values. I don’t know if that’s true, but I thought maybe that was why it was turning out screw-y looking. So I wrote a Python script that read SVG files and rounded the numbers up/down. Here was my script:

This had absolutely no effect! I was pretty pissed off by this point but it lead to a new idea: maybe what I’m seeing is the jagged-ness of polygons. There must be a lot of path segments due to it recreating the polygons as line segments… so maybe if I put it into an online optimiser it’d reduce the segments into curves?

After some searching I found an SVG optimiser online. I decided to try it. The file became much smaller but it didn’t look any better. At this point it became undeniable that Blender was not suited for this task.

Part 2: Get A New Tool

I already knew Inkscape and Adobe Illustrator existed. I had a bad experience once with Inkscape and I don’t want to talk about it. Illustrator is too expensive for me because I want the programs I use to be on-hand incase I want changes. I can’t afford a monthly subscription.

I decide to use Inkscape. It’s a good program in a technical sense — it has a lot of features — but it was just as confusing as I’d remembered. I’m sure there’s an internal logic for why things are the way they are, I just don’t know it. Still it’s a decent program and I made my icon in it.

As an aside: SVG doesn’t support branching paths. I didn’t realise this for a long time and kept trying to make the outer part of the page icon above a single path. Eventually I found this out and ended up making the fold on the upper-right of the writing icon as a separate path:

Using a dedicated vector program also allowed me to snap lines to the grid. This was another suggestion I’d read about creating SVGs that would supposedly help them render better in the browser. I dunno if that’s true but it couldn’t hurt. Something else I could do was use curves:

Notice how there’s only four control points (the grey diamonds)? That means the SVG file only needs to store these four positions rather than hundreds of little segments. This made the file quite small even before it was put through the optimiser.

Anyway, I exported it and ran it through the online optimiser. The result looked good and the file size was smaller. Below is a comparison of the files. The first attempt where I used Blender is on the left, while Inkscape + the online optimiser is on the right.

Much, much better. I integrated the icons I created into the site to see how they’d look when shrunk down. I was pretty happy with the result:

I didn’t feel like creating all the icons at that point so I took a break to do some client work as well as other programming tasks for StoryDevs.

Part 3: The Best Free Vector Graphics Program

When I came back I decided to look for something more easier to use than Inkscape. A couple months back I followed Ubuntu on Twitter since that’s the flavour of Linux that runs on StoryDevs servers. During my search I happened to see a vector art program shared by the Ubuntu account called Gravit Designer.

Overall it’s much easier to find what you’re looking for and it’s free! It’s a program for graphic art that looks like it was designed by graphic artists. I’ve only used the program a bit and while I was initially frustrated by some things, it seems like this is what I’ll be using from now on.

Conclusion

So that’s it! I skipped over the process of integrating the SVGs into the site because that’s another blog post right there. I’m probably going to recreate all StoryDevs’ existing branding and icons as SVGs at some point but for now they’ll remain raster images until I have some time to spare.

Python Features and Uses

Features and philosophy

Python may be a multi-paradigm artificial language. Object-oriented programming and structured programming area unit absolutely supported, and plenty of of its options support practical programming and aspect-oriented programming (including by metaprogramming and metaobjects (magic methods)). several different paradigms area unit supported via extensions, as well as style by contract and logic programming.

Python uses dynamic typewriting and a mixture of reference numeration and a cycle-detecting employee for memory management. It additionally options dynamic name resolution (late binding), that binds methodology and variable names throughout program execution.

Python's style offers some support for practical programming within the Lisp tradition. it's filter, map, and cut back functions; list comprehensions, dictionaries, sets, and generator expressions. the quality library has 2 modules (itertools and functools) that implement practical tools borrowed from Haskell and normal millilitre.

The language's core philosophy includes aphorisms such as:

Beautiful is best than ugly.

Explicit is best than implicit.

Simple is best than advanced.

Complex is best than difficult.

Readability counts.

Rather than having all of its practicality engineered into its core, Python was designed to be extremely protrusile. This compact modularity has created it notably widespread as a method of adding programmable interfaces to existing applications.

Python strives for an easier, less-cluttered syntax and descriptive linguistics whereas giving developers a selection in their committal to writing methodology.

Python's developers try to avoid premature optimisation, and reject patches to non-critical components of the CPython reference implementation that will supply marginal will increase in speed at the price of clarity. once speed is vital, a Python engineer will move time-critical functions to extension modules written in languages like C, or use PyPy, a just-in-time compiler. Cython is additionally obtainable, that interprets a Python script into C and makes direct C-level API calls into the Python interpreter.

A common neologism within the Python community is pythonic, which may have a good vary of meanings associated with program vogue. to mention that code is pythonic is to mention that it uses Python idioms well, that it's natural or shows fluency within the language, that it conforms with Python's minimalist philosophy and stress on readability. In distinction, code that's troublesome to know or reads sort of a rough transcription from another artificial language is termed unpythonic.

Users and admirers of Python, particularly those thought-about knowledgeable or skilled, area unit typically remarked as Pythonistas.

Python Uses

Since 2003, Python has systematically hierarchal within the high 10 most well liked programming languages within the TIOBE Programming Community Index wherever, as of Feb 2020, it's the third most well liked language (behind Java, and C). it absolutely was selected  artificial language of the Year in 2007, 2010, and 2018.

An empirical study found that scripting languages, like Python, area unit additional productive than standard languages, like C and Java, for programming issues involving string manipulation and search in a very lexicon, and determined that memory consumption was typically "better than Java and not a lot of worse than C or C++".

Large organizations that use Python embrace Wikipedia, Google, Yahoo!, CERN, NASA, Facebook, Amazon, Instagram, Spotify and a few smaller entities like ILM and ITA. The social news networking web site Reddit is written entirely in Python.

Python will function a scripting language for internet applications, e.g., via mod_wsgi for the Apache internet server. With internet Server entranceway Interface, a typical API has evolved to facilitate these applications. internet frameworks like Django, Pylons, Pyramid, TurboGears, web2py, Tornado, Flask, Bottle and Zope support developers within the style and maintenance of advanced applications. Pyjs and IronPython will be wont to develop the client-side of Ajax-based applications. SQLAlchemy will be used as information plotter to a electronic database. Twisted may be a framework to program communications between computers, and is employed (for example) by Dropbox.

Libraries like NumPy, SciPy and Matplotlib permit the effective use of Python in scientific computing, with specialised libraries like Biopython and Astropy providing domain-specific practicality. SageMath may be a mathematical software package with a notebook interface programmable in Python: its library covers several aspects of arithmetic, as well as pure mathematics, combinatorics, numerical arithmetic, range theory, and calculus.

Python has been with success embedded in several software package merchandise as a scripting language, as well as in finite part methodology software package like Abaqus, 3D constant quantity modeller like FreeCAD, 3D animation packages like 3ds liquid ecstasy, Blender, Cinema 4D, Lightwave, Houdini, Maya, modo, MotionBuilder, Softimage, the visual effects setter Nuke, 2nd imaging programs like gameness, Inkscape, Scribus and Paint look professional, and notational system programs like scorewriter and capella. antelope programme uses Python as a fairly printer to indicate advanced structures like C++ containers. Esri promotes Python because the most suitable option for writing scripts in ArcGIS. it's additionally been utilized in many video games, and has been adopted as 1st of the 3 obtainable programming languages in Google App Engine, the opposite 2 being Java and Go.

Python is usually utilized in computer science comes and machine learning comes with the assistance of libraries like TensorFlow, Keras, Pytorch and Scikit-learn. As a scripting language with standard design, straightforward syntax and wealthy text process tools, Python is usually used for tongue process.

Many operative systems embrace Python as a typical element. It ships with most UNIX distributions, AmigaOS four (using Python a pair of.7), FreeBSD (as a package), NetBSD, OpenBSD (as a package) and macOS and might be used from the command (terminal). several UNIX distributions use installers written in Python: Ubuntu uses the ubiquitousness installer, whereas Red Hat UNIX and Stetson use the Eunectes murinus installer. Gentoo UNIX uses Python in its package management system, Portage.

Python is employed extensively within the data security business, as well as in exploit development.

Most of the Sugar software package for the One portable computer per kid XO, currently developed at Sugar Labs, is written in Python. The Raspberry Pi single-board laptop project has adopted Python as its main user-programming language.

LibreOffice includes Python, and intends to exchange Java with Python. Its Python Scripting supplier may be a core feature since Version four.0 from seven Feb 2013.

quick markov chain generator deetz for @sandshrewvian (and anyone who wants to put text files in a blender and automatically generate, say, fic, or shitposts). using Markovify, since it tucks most of the confusing stuff behind a curtain and for me worked instantly out of the box.

Grab yourself a Python. if Mac, download mac. If windows, you’re almost certainly using a 64 bit install, but if you’re unsure just check in settings. if you don’t know what a tarball is, use the installer. it installs.

if you’re on Linux why are you reading this you should know how to use the terminal

Crack open Command Prompt (or whatever the Mac equiv is)

Newer versions of Python come packaged with Pip, which is a utility that you can tell to manage the programs on your computer. install, update, uninstall, ya feel.

specifically “pip install __” is ‘hey Pip install this thing for me’. so type into the prompt:

pip install markovify

(hit enter)

if it complains about dependencies, grab those and try again. like if you can’t proceed bc you’re missing asdfhjg, then pip install asdfhjg. if Pip isn’t finding them, hmu and we can figure it out together

right you so got the thing that makes the thing go

on the Markovify github, there’s some sample code. there’s more that you can do with this script but the basics do the thing you want. copy and paste that code into the simplest possible word editor. wordpad, notepad, whatever, just no Word or w/e bc it tends to add in a bunch of extra information and i’m not saying you Can’t but best to avoid that potential headache

like u can change the number of sentences or the number of words u can play around w it if you want but it does the thing out the box

pick where you want this thing to be - documents, a general fic folder, a specific This Thing folder. try to avoid putting it in something deeply nested bc you’ll be typing the location out by hand. imo it’s easiest to keep the script and the text file in the same location. save there as “yourfile.py”. the ‘py’ tells the computer to run it as a python script. like a magic spell where u gotta have the right faux-latin in for it to work. gotta be .py

and yeah i forget how some people are Bizarre Goblins who can focus enough to write in Word, but if you do write in Word, re-save the source file u wanna bonk as simple text. .txt. yanno. if things go wonky down the line, try copy-pasting into a less-complicated word processor. i like Atom but Notepad works fine

with Markov chains, the longer the better - it’s basically gathering information on what words or letters follow what other words or letters. if “a” comes up, then it looks to see what comes after “a” in your source text, or corpus, and picks one. and if “dog” gets picked, it looks for what comes after ‘dog’, and picks one, and so on. the bigger and more varied the corpus, the more fun you’ll have.

replace the “path/to/file“ with where your file is. if they’re in the same folder, you can just put “file.txt”

the example code shows how to do two things: post five sentences, any length, and post 3 sentences, twitter-limit. feel free to fuck around with any of them, but i’d recommend commenting one or the other out with a # in front of each line of the thing. this tells your Compooper to ignore those words; anything #’d out you have saved for later in case you need it, but it won’t be translated

back to the Command Prompt

if you have put it anywhere down the path: find the path. if it is, for ex, somewhere inside documents, you want to Change Directories, so type ‘cd documents’, ie Change Directory To Documents. if it’s in a folder inside Documents, ‘cd that_folder’. repeat as necessary.

run the thing by typing ‘yourfile.py’ and hitting enter

enjoy

(to run again, hit the Up arrow on your keyboard and the command will be brought back up)

for True Auto Shitposts there’s a whole buncha nonsense - i know you can post directly to Tumblr, but far as i can tell it’s easier to schedule generated posts to Twitter and then crosspost with IFTTT. if you’re interested, hmu, i’m an idiot but successfully copied a script to keep @thedalekchef running

A Quick Overview Of Methods In Grass Fed Whey

“A business needs to be agile, but it’s only as agile as its least agile component. That, frankly, has been the network.” Modernizing the network to be as fast as the business requires has meant a shift to software-defined networking (SDN), which decouples the control and packet-forwarding planes in a network and streamlines the effort it takes to make changes and provision new services. SDN also enables the network to interface with applications directly via application programming interfaces (APIs) rather than going through the command line interface (CLI). Another characteristic of a modernized network infrastructure is that it aligns well with the DevOps software development methodology, Kerravala says. “This whole concept of DevOps is built on the principles of rapid development and continuous innovation. That, again, drives the need for the network to be something that can be a lot more agile and updated almost on demand.” So what does this mean for network engineers? In a nutshell, being innovative requires developing a software-first mentality. “The evolution of the network now is really about: How do I run the network through software? How do I do more things through software? How do I orchestrate it with other software platforms?” Kerravala says. “I need to start thinking software first, not hardware first.” Developing software fluency is critical. It can be intimidating at first, but network engineers need to learn how to make API calls and write basic scripts, the roundtable panelists agree. “Even though you’re not going to be a programmer or a developer, you need to learn basic programming skills. Can you work with Ruby? Can you work with Python?” Kerravala says. Orchestration tools such as Chef, Puppet and Ansible are part of the enterprise application developer’s toolkit and should become part of the network engineer’s toolkit, too, he adds.

The Facts In 2017 For Locating Aspects For Whey Protein

You’re into bodybuilding, so, naturally you’ve watched all the old Arnold action movies – Conan the Barbarian, The Terminator, Predator – the classics. You’ve got the physique to make others stare in awe at your pythons, but something’s still missing. It’s putting those muscles to good use in a fantasy action movie scenario. Enter Rugged Maniac . Now you can recreate the final scenes in The Predator by covering yourself in mud. Sadly, there’s no dreadlocked alien hunter chasing you, but that’s what your imagination is for. What you will get is at least 25 obstacles where you can impress others with your ability to hoist your massive frame over puny walls that challenge everyone else. And if you toss in the occasional “get to the choppa” or “get down!” throughout the race, no one will judge you. The race spans the distance of a 5k and spectators attend for free – in fact, you’re encouraged to make a day of it. When you’re not running the race there are pre-and-post race hangout areas where you can munch on Quest Protein Cookies, grab a drink or relax with a massage. Because living an action hero fantasy is exhausting work. When you compare Rugged Maniac to the other Spartan style races, they hold up quite nicely. At the end of the day, the event is about having fun. But it does afford a pretty great opportunity to snap some kick ass photos for your bodybuilding Instagram. Heck, it might even help you get cast in the inevitable “every-Arnold-movie-reboots.” If you or a couple friends are interested in crawling through muddy pits topped with barbed wire, hulking your way up steep inclined walls and jumping over live flames, check out a Rugged Maniac event.
