Money For Nothing in Blender 1.0 - 2K Subs Special - Blender 1.0 Part 7

using a modern build of blender to fill out the screen to a 16:9 aspect ratio is pretty hilarious. thanks for the vid

You forgot the dog! Congrats on 2k great video, great channel, keep it up. I would like to see old versions of other similar programs and operating systems

[@Sasasala386]

I love this way of thinking "I don't know what or how to do it, BUT if someone can teach me out point me somewhere I can make it work and make a video out of it"

I love retro tech, but I remember opening early versions of Blender and saw all those text buttons and was like NUH'UH! Close window. I didn't know how anyone could use it. Late 90's I was using 3dSMax which has a much cleaner interface. Anyway good job trudging through the old Blender and making cool stuff!

This is incredibly interesting. Personally speaking; I don't think I would bother messing with older versions of Blender- as I feel like learning them is sort of like welcoming a kind of brain-damage. I had enough of a hard time moving from 3DS Max to Blender without intentionally regressing. What I mean is- thanks for taking the shot.

[@bowmanruto]

these videos almost make me want to go trough all the trouble of getting 1.0 to run as I'm really curious how difficult it is to make things in 1.0 vs 2.9, mostly form an artists point of view, since I wonder how much of the 90's... *ahem* quality, was due to software limitations

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

It was hardware limitations, mainly. For comparison, look at the effects in _The Last Starfighter_ , which would not look out of place in a 1990s movie. But that was done in 1984, the year *before* _Money For Nothing_ came out. The difference was, they were able to render _TLS_ on a Cray X/MP supercomputer.

[@CW0513]

Most of the 3D visual effects that make up the zeitgeist of the 90's were the product of hardware limitations. This type of 3D modeling was almost impossible on a standard consumer computer, so this type of work was done on multi-thousand dollar desktop workstations like the ones made by SGI. If you want an excellent example of hardware effecting software (and vice versa) look up the animated show ReBoot. Its incredible to see how the creators worked with the technological limitations of the time to create something that pushed the boundaries of computer graphics.

[@carso1500]

@@CW0513 And now a days i can create something that looks photorealistic on my laptop in like an afternoon, technology really advances fucking fast

[@Biaanca5036]

Actually we are just barely catching up to late 90s//2001 era SGI even today. 😁 By 2000 they had already figured out unified memory(with crazy high capacities of the time) between the CPU and GP so they had practically unlimited vram already

[@adamsfusion]

On the topic of virtualization: VMWare and Virtualbox won't work. They're paravirtualization tools, which require that the host platform be nearly identical to the guest. Because of that, it's a no go, not possible at all. QEMU however _is_ a good option. QEMU is a full emulation tool, from the ROM timings up to the display adapters, so it would work, but beyond potentially getting the rendering working (by accurately emulating the Indy's GIO32bis bus) it's probably going to be slower than the MAME option. QEMU aims for accuracy, not speed.

[@FireCraftEntertainment]

Okay, I have an idea for a video you can do. If modeling is your thing, try to model something in each major update for a certain time and see how the tools will help you. Then compare the outcomes. For example:- Modeling a dog in 20 mins using Blender 1.0 vs 1.5 vs 2.0 vs 2.8 (I am not sure which versions are the major updates) You can also come up with a very interesting thumbnail for the video, idk.

[@gregblendsmakes9348]

[@jblock9675]

i think i found out how to limit scale location or rotation to axis in 1.0 i dont know for sure it will work but i tried in 1.6 and it worked. if you left click and drag, a white line shows up and if you draw a circle like thing you can rotate on the axis that is nearest to our view its finicky but works if you draw a line you can move in the axis nearest to what you drew and a v like shape for scale i cant get 1.0 to work so if you can try this that would be great, im wondering if it will work PS: in 1.6 you cant do S and then X or something like that so i was trying to limit to axis and it worked

[@ludovitkramar7088]

I looked a bit into irix emulation, and it seems like there aren't any other real options apart from what he is currently doing. I tried to do something with qemu, but I could not find any explanations of how to do it, and it is not a complete emulation, and only works on linux, but I could not understand how to make it work. You guys can lookup qemu-irix on github if you are interested.

[@SianaGearz]

What was the first Blender tutorial you followed? Do you remember Bart's Castle tutorial? Blender has an archive of the old website where you can find it. I don't know, repeating an old tutorial in new Blender seems too easy, but maybe there's something that can be done with that. If you need even more nostalgia fuel, there's a Blender FTP mirror on the VIM FTP site. It got detached and stopped syncing eventually, which is a good thing, because it has the demo/regression test subdirectory intact!

[@gregblendsmakes9348]

I did the Castle Tutorial back in the day! I still have my file and render cuz I never delete anything

[@SianaGearz]

@@gregblendsmakes9348 test240.zip contains lostride.blend. Remember that? A panorama video render rollercoaster ride. It's related to a game they developed for Philips CDI back in mid 90s, called The Lost Ride. I don't know whether it's from the game, in the visual style of the game, or a rejected section that didn't make it into the game. I loved that file.

That was super neat, love how it turned out. Now you've adapted to it a bit, how much longer does it take to accomplish an idea in 1.0 compared to doing it in modern Blender?

[@gregblendsmakes9348]

Tough to say. I mean, it runs at 30% speed because of Mame so you could argue that regular blender is at a minimum 3x as fast. But as far as work-flow and tools, maybe double that again. So like 6x faster in modern blender. Maybe more.

[@llamallama1509]

@@gregblendsmakes9348 I've never used Mame, so sorry if this is something you've already tried, but looking through the manual online does adding the "-nothrottle" option to the end of the command you use to launch it, help it run faster?

[@gregblendsmakes9348]

@@llamallama1509 It feels mildly faster with the -nothrottle flag. The console still reports 30% emulation speed, but maybe it's placebo? Haha.
