Gummy Blend File

Hi there, Blenderheads!

In relation to my Blenderartist.org post, which you can find here > http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=210358&p=1802556#post1802556, I have provided a video showing the node composite passes I did. Additionally, I'm sharing with you my scene setup, with a couple of things like the gummy animation effect, lighting, etc.

You can download the .blend file from here > http://www.pasteall.org/blend/5538

Gummy Node Composite Passes

Hi! Just thought I'd post my node composite pass on my previous video doodle titled "Gummy" (see previous post here > http://reynantem.blogspot.com/2011/02/gummy.html). Have fun!

Made with Blender 2.56.

Compiling Blender 2.5 and Python 3.2: Sucess!

Yes! I finally got around to building Blender 2.5 and Python 3.2 in my system smoothly (though with some minor bumps here and there). Some of you might have read my previous post about compile errors with Blender 2.5 (check it here http://reynantem.blogspot.com/2011/03/blender-25-compile-errors.html). All these thanks to Blender users Sergof, Dalai Felinto, Floft, Jonathan Williamson, and Kewl Luser for their prompt replies on my previous post. I wouldn't have fixed it if it weren't for their help.

Anyways, to cut the long story short; briefly, here are the things that I did:

1. I made sure I did not edit any lines on the batch file that I created long ago. It's basically the gist of the instructions on compiling with Scons found here http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Doc/Building_Blender/Linux/Ubuntu/Scons
2. I compiled Python by following the instructions here (found under Compiling) http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Doc/Building_Blender/Linux/Troubleshooting#Python
3. After which, I edited my config file. This was the part I was mostly baffled with, since from the prior page you've seen, it's indicating that you edit the file 'user-config.py', which is, in my case, nowhere to be found in my system. But after digging in deep, I found a similar file named 'linux2-config.py' located under my build folder (which I have created from step 1) which has the path ~/blender-svn/blender/build_files/scons/
   
   Of which, I edited the lines mentioned in http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Doc/Building_Blender/Linux/Troubleshooting#Python
   
   
4. And finally, I re-executed my batch file to update my sources from SVN and it went on smoothly! Sweeeet!
   

Blender 2.5 Compile Errors

Hi, Blenderheads! I need you help. Just a few hours ago, before firing up Blender 2.5 in Linux, I updated it via SVN by compiling using Scons. Please pardon me for my ignorance on such technical stuff, I just really couldn't get my way out of this.

Yesterday, after running the same build commands (which I compressed into one batch file), everything went smoothly and Blender 2.5 was successfully built (as I would have expected after almost 6 months of doing so). Then this problem came up this morning.

I have Python 3.1 installed and so I wondered why I was prompted that I needed to update my Python.

I am still able to execute Blender 2.5 but then I'm presented with this headerless set of windows (except for the Properties window) plus some other annoying things like non-responsiveness of the 3d viewport shading (wire, shaded, etc.).

By the way, Build instructions are similar to one seen on this page > http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Doc/Building_Blender/Linux/Ubuntu/Scons

Anyhow, I'm hoping you guys could help me on this. Thank you so much in advance!
