  • I know this is old and other comments have it right- it’s a togglable mode. And while I know it feels comfortable coming from unity - I would highly recommend getting comfortable with blenders default navigation, for example selecting an object and using ‘numpad .’ to focus it. The navigation methods blender uses is way more efficient for modeling while unity’s navigation is better suited for moving around large 3d spaces.

    Ideally your individual blender projects should be much smaller than a full unity scene. Think of it less like flying around the 3d space but instead having your model sitting on a potter’s wheel and spinning it around.





  • Cry me a river. Clinton had a plan to retrain and retool these coal towns your describing into productive green energy leaders and they rejected it because she eats babies and wind farms kill birds, or whatever. They are totally irrational and I’m not going to keep pretending otherwise. The real government failure is lack of education spending and critical thinking skills (thanks GOP) that is going to take generations to correct.

    Edit: I’ll add there are sparks of “hope” in rural america now that farmers are seeing the impacts of climate change effecting their yields, I think they are starting to come around. Probably too late, but it’s something…


  • I never made it into algebra in grade school, my scores weren’t good enough. but I took a liking to software dev and the ability to create digitally. Self taught myself all the variables and flow controls and OOP, now been a professional developer for 15 years.

    However I still suck at math, and these fancy symbols still scare me probably because they were never properly explained. But yeah, I fit right in the mold you describe. Glad I have the computer to crunch the numbers for me.




  • Just want to point out reddit was open source, and built on top open source software. Techie weirdos built that community and the masses came along later. I expect we’ll see the same around here for a while, but people will contribute what they want to contribute… infosec and oss is pretty niche, I suspect it’ll be out grown eventually.
