An important thing was revealed to me in a dream

Downloading and learning Blender in order to share it with the world. Wish me luck.

The Irish Tortilla

Several hard taco shells are arranged in a circle standing vertically. The lower tacos are held in place by a curved piece of acrylic. The top tacos remain in place like a stone arch bridge.

This arrangement is called an Irish Tortilla.

Questions and Answers

Why is it called a tortilla when it is made out of tacos?

This was not revealed to me.

How do you apply filling to the lower tacos?

This was not revealed to me.

What is specifically Irish about it?

This was not revealed to me.

can the acrylic that holds the taco shells be another, larger, taco shell?

Infinitely Recursive Irish Tortilla. Guaranteed ShaderToy of the week for whoever decides to implement that.

@NRS10/9/2023, 6:39 PM

On top of which one large tortilla is placed, which we all live on.

I immediately feel like it makes sense, just not in a way that's possible to explain or understand

in tuft we trust @tit10/9/2023, 6:45 PM

2 hours? incredible!!!!

rykarn @rykarn10/9/2023, 6:48 PM

Thanks! Also goes to show that Blender manages to make the complex domain of 3d modelling at least somewhat intuitive and approachable.

Digital Beast Plus+@DigitalBeast10/9/2023, 7:24 PM

Goes to show how their efforts have been rewarded. Blender used to be considered a most impenetrable dark labyrinth, before a massive UI overhaul that everyone now benefits from, myself included.

The Fru Fru Brigade~@Fru-Fru-Brigade10/10/2023, 2:56 AM

Wait, it stopped being one????

@Happytoaster10/10/2023, 5:12 AM

Parts of it can now be figured out without watching a tutorial.

The Fru Fru Brigade~@Fru-Fru-Brigade10/10/2023, 5:59 AM

Oh, no, I mean, I just hadn't checked it because I heard all about how hard it was to use.

cassie @porglezomp10/10/2023, 8:31 AM

Yeah like 5 years ago, maybe even more. They’ve put lots of investment into making it usable, it’s been dramatically improved multiple times but imo (having used Blender and Maya) some time during 2.7 it became only as hard to use as any capable 3D software kind of has to be.

Digital Beast Plus+@DigitalBeast10/12/2023, 6:19 PM

I like to think so. They did a complete UI overhaul, reworked the workflows, put things into clever menus where anything can be added to a quick menu that's context-aware (vertex mode, object mode, etc). I managed to go from knowing zero about Blender, to working on what I needed to do within a few hours of reading some tutorials and watching a few vids. I might have had to google specific things a few times, when hitting those weird corners where you just don't know what they're expecting: but compared to how Blender was when Max and Maya ruled the roost, it's lightyears better.

i mean if you squint its kinda like a claddagh ring

Sebastian @zenithstar9510/9/2023, 6:50 PM

In Ireland we do have a takeaway dish called taco fries that has pretty much nothing to do with tacos so this is on brand actually

Chamomile🐑@chamomile10/9/2023, 10:07 PM

Oh huh, that seems to be more or less the same as what we call chili cheese fries in the States.

kata 🌊 aqua!@kadybat10/9/2023, 8:04 PM

why is it irish?

rykarn @rykarn10/9/2023, 8:17 PM

This was not revealed to me.

TheFinalNut @Partyman10/10/2023, 1:06 AM

You know that one episode of Great British Bake Off where they try to make s'mores? Yea, like that, but Irish.

Fuzunga @Fuzunga10/9/2023, 8:35 PM

This reminds me of the time I woke up in the middle of the night to write down the concept for an anime I dreamt up. It was called "Devil Partner Sausage" and starred a detective with a pack of Twizzlers for a head and his partner, one of those plastic squeeze bottles of Kool-Aid. I have no idea how the name relates to anything or why the characters are food items.

summer @summer10/9/2023, 8:51 PM

damn good job learning this shading so fast!!

Robyn, on my creechure arc @Robyn-SnowyFoxxo10/9/2023, 9:05 PM

As an Irish person, I can indeed confirm that this design is Irish

stubborn lights @stubbornlights10/9/2023, 9:33 PM

Was anything else revealed to you?

rykarn @rykarn10/10/2023, 6:44 AM

After checking my notifications this morning it was revealed to me that there are a lot of people on cohost

Jeremy Yap @jeruyyap10/10/2023, 12:36 AM

Good grief, I can feel the dream logic in this somehow.

forest @swiftyshq10/10/2023, 2:20 AM

there are so many beautiful parts of this post and i cant pick a favorite. good job on blendering this is literally the only type of thing you should start learning blender for

Is it Shaker!?@EarthShaker10/10/2023, 2:57 AM

I have the power to make this vision into concrete reality.

rykarn @rykarn10/10/2023, 6:45 AM

lmk if anything is revealed to you

@rotopenguin10/10/2023, 1:55 PM

Hmm, I sense somebody with a spare jai alai basket sitting around

fingerless @fingerless10/10/2023, 12:58 PM

this feels like something that an Australian "Mexican" joint would come up with.

@rotopenguin10/10/2023, 1:53 PM

On days when me mum wasn't feeling up to such a cooking ordeal, she'd make a "cheat Irish tortilla" by just assembling it into an arch with flying buttresses.

this reminds me when i dreamt of a quiz show, one of the questions was 'square root of himalayas' which is 'i.j'(?)
