fresh idea! Amazing, i’ve commented on youtube too…i don’t know how is it done…
this is complete madness.
grtz p
Great video.
Yes you are! And I will prove it too.
Sea air and Coffee in the form of Espresso in great quantities.
GRIN! I commented back, I will make a tutorial, its not hard at all.
Cackle!
ITS ALIVE!!!
Igor! bring the tongs! Its trying to attach to my face!
Thanks!
-look in PM I have a question about your computer
Its funny, when I was working on artificial life projects I had a thing in my signature that said “Im the Monsters Mother” now its more like annoying student.
HOLY SHI… ahem…
stuff…
Have a look at this:
http://blenderartists.org/forum/
Batten down Pixologic, they have the same forum software I think.
EDIT:
They are all better now, some meany was hacking them.
Sorry, I missed it.
Am I the monster?
But I’m not back…
my macpro is seriously damaged. It will take days and money to be back into work.
My old macbook pro can’t handle modern software.
Of course you’re the monster, how quickly one forgets these things!
So its still broken?
What exactly is going on with it?
Your description sounds like its forgetting stuff, like the battery on the motherboard is dead or dying.
Unfortunately, it is a motherboard problem.
the “northbridge chip” still working but its internal temperature is 127ºC LOL
I can fool the whole system and make it working. But, for how long? Such internal temperatures should be below 75ºC
Now, on a PC, you may know the temperature of the heat sink (BIOS) but not the internal temperature ( a little higher)
If something goes wrong on the heat sink, you might read ~45-55 ºC. The internal temperature may be over 100. So be careful. If the heat sink works then a temp ~ 60ºC means ~70 internal heat. OK but not great. 127 is out of any limits.
I’m the monster… me. Probably because this is how I communicate with art procedures, talking about Celsius.
Yes, using the metric system makes you a Monster.
GRIN!
Thats 260.6F
Thats above the boiling point of water!
So is it being read wrong or is it actually that hot?
If its actually that hot you need to reattach it with new thermal paste or cement or whatever its called right?
I take it the fan is still working?
It seems to me that if it THINKS that its temperature is high when it starts up something other than the heatsink is messed up since the ambient temperature isn’t that high unless you are living with Lvxifer where there is a lot of fire and stuff. If it says its that hot when you boot up then its wrong and something other than actual heat is the problem, its being measured incorrectly.
Right?
If its ACTUALLY that hot, use it to make me espressos and charge me $1.00 for each one, by the end of the week you will have enough to buy two new computers, and if THEY overheat too you can make me even more espresso!.
Hows that sound?
Mealea, nothing wrong with measurement methods. Yeah, metric system, I got it. You are the monsters, you in US. LOL
Yeah, I will make an espresso for you. Whatever the scale system will be.
I’ll try hard not to burn your espresso however. 127ºC doesn’t sound promising.
So it IS that hot?
What is it going to take to fix it, a new heatsink and fan?
Michalis, running Blender more than doubles the amount of electricity I use, I go from 2.5 to 3 amps up over 6 amps and the heat is so intense that I can’t leave my hands on the keyboard. This is lots of fun because Blender depends on the dammed keyboard.
ZBrush makes my computer boost itself (CPU speed wise) from 2.2ghz to 3.2 ghz sometimes but generates no (or very very little) extra heat and the electricity consumption is negligibly different, maybe a 10th of an amp or less. But that would be the difference between GPU and CPU. Blender however ALWAYS uses the GPU even when Im rendering with my CPU, this is rather odd, I would like to make it so that Blender uses my other GPU, the low power Intel one for moving around in the UI, and only use the Nvidia when it needs it or I tell iit to but that doesn’t seem possible.
Sculptris generates some heat but nowhere near as much but I haven’t looked at the electrical consumption while using it yet. I can tell by the fan its not as bad as Blender which when running my internal fan is going full blast with Sculptris it sort of comes on and off depending on what I am doing.
Its possible that Blender and other GPU intensive stuff cooked your computer or more likely fried your thermometer since it apparently had or had one. Since you are getting insane readings as soon as you boot up it stands to reason that whatever it is that is measuring the temperature is cooked or at the very least totally wrong.
Does that make sense?
Oh yah, those tutorials were great, boring as hell but great, I learned a whole lot of new stuff, THANK YOU!
Mealea, no app cooked my computer.
It is an apple hardware related miss. The apple official forum is full of people having exactly the same issue with me, on the same model. Otherwise a dual xeon engine runs pretty cool. In a very hot summer temps are below 55 ºC on all components. Except one. A miss IMO. It goes to up to 127, no matter if you run an app. Just after booting of the OS.
There’s something you probably misunderstood. An openGL interface (like sculptris, 3dcoat, blender 3dsmax, maya, modo etc) uses the GPU for the redraw of the viewport. The heat and consumption of electricity comes from this. Zbrush isn’t a GPU-OpenGL app. Magic of pixologic with a great cost unfortunately. What is the cost, I won’t try to explain here. But, don’t expect to see a decent UV editor, a good camera, a powerful edit mode under the zbrush engine, don’t expect decent bumps preview either. All the big boys are using OGL and other GPU based solutions. You are also confusing the use of the GPU-CUDA under cycles render. This is irrelevant, it has to do with n vidia CUDA rendering on the fly.
BTW, you still believe that blender will cook your engine? Try 3dcoat LOL. Or, better, start playing with video games and VGame engines. You have two GPUs, the intel one is useless for serious graphics.
've finally become
I missed you:D
Welcome back mealea
Now I have to read two pages, but first I’ll visit your new outdoor exhibition.
Lovely stuff. Interesting videos there, especially the cloth simulation one.
More comments will follow, welcome back, once again, we all missed you.
welcome back!
nice animations.
grtz p
Heheheee!
Hey Mealea, totally inderstand you, I too had to ram down blender in my throat, (maybe I overdid it tbh) lololol!
In any case, for animation 400.000 polygons are not really practical, people usually do baking and remeshing (the great new zremesher can help there for sure 
)
It’s just a different workflow and has to do with the usual memory vs computation constraints in computing (avoid calculating many vertices by storing the surface information (color/normals) in textures). That’s why games also use this kind of workflow.
Just saying 
Having fun is much more important!
