In my experience my degree of passion isn’t a deciding factor for longevity when I start something new. I pick up new things often, learn a lot in a short time, and usually let them go again relatively quickly – one of my friends says I collect other people’s hobbies – I do that because I am curious, and I like learning/doing new things! But I always have to make hard choices about sticking with something because there is just no time, and that is why I drop so many things. But mine are more alike to me than not – in fact I select for common personality traits, not for common interests, and exploratory curiosity is one of those.įrom the outside one might think I’m like those friends you’re talking about. I mean, not everyone does, but they’re your friends, are they so different in kind from you? It’s of course possible. I myself have always been a curious person by nature and enjoys learning and using / doing new things, so it has always been a bit sad from my perceptive that others don’t feel that way. It’s not that people I consider friends aren’t equally as curious as I am, and don’t enjoy learning, it’s just that their interests lie in different areas, and we all have such a very limited amount of time to devote to learning.
My hobbies tend to be quite time-consuming and intensive, and so I don’t expect that any given friend will be interested at all (beyond admiring my stuff, :hopeful grin:), never mind being interested enough to get into it as much as I do. I do have a couple of stories where that worked, and it’s definitely worked for me.īut my social circle, for the most part, does not even show a pique of interest in my long-term hobbies. And those observations don’t lead me to believe initial passion is required, that “pique” can be enough. Most of my observations are based on what my friends get into on their own, not in whether we share any of that – if anything, I’m probably the one who picks up something they’re into, not the other way around.
I’m not sure it works the same way for me, but I go about it differently as well. You'll never guess what motivated me to do this.I am happy for you if you have had other experiences with your social circle. Official Add-on (Only compatible with Blender 2.77-2.79).
Lucas' Pure3D Editor Model XML Format Blender Add-on (Unofficial 2.80 Port v1.01).I was told that those versions don't recognize Alpha attributes, which Blender decided to make mandatory. Exported models are not compatible with P3D Editors earlier than 4.2.While I personally have never used that setting with lingering modifiers, if you added modifiers to your model but have not applied them, you will not have the option to export your models with those modifiers. But seriously, I had no choice but to remove the option since temporarily applying modifiers through Python is much harder than the old days. Because whoever at Blender Foundation thought it was a good idea to make temporarily applying modifiers a lot more complicated to do hates people who make fanfics of random characters kicking Marge. Apply Modifiers is no longer an option when exporting models.I didn't even find these bugs, but thankfully Lucas got me aware of these limitations.
