Export Blender Models to Shapeways

0
1 year ago
by Bernhard Millauer in

Here is the way how i get my model compatible for ShapeWays.
Please check the FAQ and other pages on ShapeWays if you have questions that are not fit into this todo.

here is the list:

  • create your 3d model
  • convert all curves to meshes and apply all modifiers
  • join all parts of the model together into a single mesh
  • check that the model do not have any floating parts if you do not want them
  • check the model for “non manifold” parts (edit mode – deselect all -> select -> non manifold) => tutorial
  • * unwrap the model
  • * put the texture on the same directory level as the blend file
  • * set the texture to the model
  • enable units under scene -> units in Blender
  • set the dimensions of your model with the help of the units (eg. 12cm)
  • IMPORTANT: apply the scale to the model (ctrl-a -> scale)
  • export to collada (*.dae)
  • open the exported model with MeshLab (free)
  • save the model without any modifications as VRML (*.wrl) file
  • * pack the VRML file and the texture (same directory level!) into a zip file and upload it to ShapeWays
  • -or- upload only the VRML file to ShapeWays
  • check your email inbox for error / success messages

* = for colored print

i hope i could help!

Determine ClickOnce UpdateUri / Install Address

0
1 year ago
by Bernhard Millauer in

Its hard to find Informations about the place where the UpdateUri is saved on a windows machine.
The only information i was found is where the binaries of a ClickOnce application is stored.

This whould be:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\ (Vista)
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\ (XP)

The UpdateUri of a particular application can be found in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\[APP-ID]\UrlUpdateInfo

The key will contain a string like this:
http://somedomain.com/ApplicationName/ApplicationName.application

If this address is called in the browser (InternetExplorer or Firefox with AddOn), the application starts to install.

If you change the ApplicationName.application to publish.htm, a install page will be displayed.

Binding to an anonymous type

Try to imagine that you have a list of complex classes and you just want to display just a bunch of properties. For example: Person.Firstname, Person.Lastname, Person.Address.District.Name, Person.Cars[0].Brand, Person.Cars[1].Brand I was playing around with ValueConverter and found out, that i can return an anonymous type out of the converter and bind it to a textblock’s content.
?View Code CSHARP
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
    if (value is Persons)
    {
        var persons = (Persons)value;
 
        var query =
            from person in persons
            let firstname = person.Firstname
            let lastname = person.Lastname
            let districtname = person.Address.District.Name
            let car1 = person.Cars[0].Brand
            let car2 = person.Cars[1].Brand
        select new
        {
            Firstname = firstname,
            Lastname = lastname,
            Districtname = districtname,
            Car1 = car1,
            Car2 = car2
        };
 
        return query;
    }
 
    return value;
}
Updating the values as you maybe guess don’t work, but if you dont want to write complex bindings you can use this technique to archive the result.
PinArt front

PinArt

Well, this is it!

It was a bit tricky because i do not want to look at tutorials to do this PinArt toy and thus it makes me some headache.

It can be animated over time and the frame itself with all associated objects (frame, glass, pins, …) can be rotated in every direction without pain.

If someone want to see a tutorial about this, i will create one!
Just write a comment and i will look what i can do for you guys.

Just a hint:
It use a plane with the vertices as particle start point and a displacement modifier.

Here is the .blend file for free use.

by Bernhard Millauer in

Hey,

i’ve stopped using webhostforasp.net because they are slow, has a bad and old customer panel and no extras like subdomains and so on AND, they have a slooow connection.

dreamhost is a nice hoster, good support (so far) and the impression is a good one!

so go forth dreamhost and be the good guys!

NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute is Evil for ResourceFiles

0

by Bernhard Millauer in ,

Imagine this:
Two Resource files named Strings.resx and Strings.de.resx.
The first (neutral) contains english content, the second german content.

If you ask youself over and over again why the f**k the ResourceManager returns the neutral language even you use the specified language “de”, look into your AssemblyInfo.cs file.

If there is a [assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguage("de")], the ResourceManager from this Assembly thinks you want to get the neutral language if you ask for “de” explicit.

This attribute is used to overrule the neutral settings to a specific one.

Deleting this from your AssemblyInfo.cs can help you realy much in this case.

EveOn.MTA: EVE Online Market Trade Analyzer

0
1 year ago
by Bernhard Millauer in

After some hard work, i managed to create a MsSql based Eve Online Market Trade Analyzer.

EveOn.MTA is using the data export of eve-central.com (plus eve-metrics.com), the local market log export and later the eve cache macho objects as data source for analysis.

It will be used to get profitable trade routes, depending on the market log exports.

The data collector is ready and holds at the moment over 2.3m active market orders.

Unfortunately, there is no GUI at the moment, but it will be IGB-able.

I have plans to provide the service for free, but the users has to do an application for use (need before greed).
(because if everyone can use the tool, there is no advantage for particular users)

I’m very excited about this project and i hope, i can do some ISK with it.

Crash Course in HLSL

Can be found at: http://www.catalinzima.com/?page_id=575

What does HLSL stand for? Why was it created? How does an HLSL effect file look like? What can you do with HLSL? What do float4×4, TEXCOORD0 or compile ps_3_0 mean? The answer to the first question is simple: HLSL means High Level Shader Language. This answer by itself might raise a few questions. The answers for these and a few other questions will be found in this article. You will first learn about the history of HLSL and why it came to existence. After that, you will see the basic structure of an HLSL effect file, and learn about the different elements of the language. Finally, after looking over the language’s basics, you will see the template effect file that XNA gives to us.
