Ubisoft has made Mixer, its in-house real-time collaboration system for Blender, available open-source.

All code of the mixer package except the mixer.broadcaster sub-package is under the GPLv3 license. Code of the mixer.broadcaster sub-package is under the MIT license so feel free to extract it and use it directly in other python projects that are under a permissive license. Carmageddon 2 mac download. More documentation is available in the doc directory.

• Free and open source. Works with Windows, macOS, and Linux. Numerous effects, such as.

The add-on enables multiple Blender users to work on the same scene in real time – and even, in future, for users of other DCC applications to make edits to the assets.

Collaborate on Blender production scenes in real time over an IP connection
Cod aw multiplayer reveal. Ubisoft has been working on Blender tools since the firm adopted the software as its main DCC application for broadcast animation work last year.

Mixer, which enables multiple Blender users to collaborate on the same production scene in real time, is the first to get a public release.

It enables studios to set up a ‘broadcasting server' to which the scene data is uploaded, and to which individual users can connect via IP.

Users can then create ‘rooms' – individual collaborative projects – on the server.

By default, the content of a room is deleted once all of its participants leave, unless saved manually, but users can choose to have rooms remain open even when no users are present.

According to Ubisoft, since the broadcasting server is independent of Blender, 'it is also possible to implement a connection for other 3D editing software'.

System requirements and availability
Mixer is available for the current release of Blender under a GPL v2 licence.

The software is still in early alpha, so it comes with minimal documentation. Ubisoft says that it will 'write a tutorial with screenshots and make videos once the UI become stable'.

Updated 6 August 2020: PhD student Swann Martinez is working on Multi-user, a similar Blender collaboration add-on in use at 3D animation and VFX studio Cube Creative.

The project is being updated regularly – version 0.0.3 came out last week – and is available under a GPL v3 licence. Read the project thread on BlenderArtists.org here and find the source code here.

A2+ Version by Aidan

Early Considerations (outdated)

1. I'm trying to get the center of mass of the rotor to actually be at the center of the shaft. In order to do this you need high precision like CNC to make the discs so that the 4 bolt circle is concentric with the clearance for the clamshell DOM. I don't have CNC so I changed the build approach to optimize for a lathe, which we have.
2. 1' schedule 40 pipe is the weak point on the rotors, in my opinion. Maybe I can find some better tube available locally.
3. I have the absolute worst filenames, generally speaking. Sorry. I'll try to school myself on improving this. Putting my name in the file doesn't mean that I claim ownership of it. Please modify ad nauseum.
4. I did a different design approach for the drawer guide since we already have some bushings down here from the CEB press. This allowed me to make the chute easier to manage but it means that I had to make the drawer a full 3'. It's not great but it's still only 12' stroke.
5. The CEB press v16.09 in Belize is 7' taller than the CEB press in the CAD model
6. It would be awesome to do polycarb for part of the chamber body. This could also help reduce the weight of the door. We can get a 0.5'16'x9' (1sqft) piece shipped for $25. This would enable us to look inside the chamber as it works.

Deepnest

Deepnest filles were showing up with 'fuzzy' lines on the AutoDesk CAD software at the CNC shop. They opened the deepnest generated dxf file and instead of clean lines there were lines with a kind of boundary region around them. Not sure if this is a deepnest setting or what. The svg generated by deepnest shows up with clean lines in inkscape.

Design Review

List of Review Questions (please expand)

1. Does deflector plate look long enough?
2. Can the chamber door be improved?
3. Move the chamber up with feet so that the drawer on the mixer is even with the drawer on the ceb press?
4. Polycarbonate window- is it safe?
5. We might have to use 50mm shaft because we can only get mechanical tubing as 'hollow bar' in metric

Calculating Load of on Motor

When the hammers swing in, two of them bottom out on the clamshell clamp plates causing the minimum outer diameter to be about 13'.

Lets say 25lbs of material is in the mixing chamber. If the retracted hammer hits a 25lb pile of soil at the bottom of the chamber then that pile of soil gives 25lb * 0.542ft = 13.5lb ft of torque on the motor, or 18.4 Nm.

More realistically, the hammers when retracted will hit less than the total amount of soil in the chamber at any instant so the loads will be less. I think the output of my extremely simple calculation, perhaps rounded up to 20 Nm, is a good value to use for the circuit simulation.

Concept Feedback

Third Round

From Aidan

From [2]:

0.02HP required for 6' auger at 5.7rpm for 10% stabilization.

1. Auger:
   1. There are some augers in the scrap yard nearby. They were more than 2.5' so I think we're good. OD around 4' IIRC. I'll get some dimensions next time i'm there.
   2. I don't think we will be able to 3D print one or CNC machine one. We could turn one on a lathe from wood or weld one using Auger technique. I think the best option is to use one that's laying around. I'll see what motors are available at the scrap yard as well.
   3. I'm getting 45 cu in required for 10% stabilization of a 23lb block (23lb is weight out of the press.) But you would measure it out dry so it's about 21 lb dry material per block or 41.5 cu in of cement per block at 10%.
2. Auger Motor:
   1. We don't have a 120VAC source besides a generator so using a 12v motor would be ideal. We can get a 500W continuous inverter for about $50 so I don't think it's a big deal to go with the cheap gear motor listed.
   2. OTOH, the controller could easily run a stepper motor but what size would you have to get? Nema42? Then there's the stepper driver requirement.
   3. We could use a DC gearmotor but those cost around $190 - Power 0.53 HP

Torque 836 in-lbs. The $9 120v gear motor listed in the google doc is rated for about 450VA which I will call about 1/2HP. A 10mm shaft DC gear motor in a comparable price range (including inverter cost for 120v motor) is the 1.4 ft lb DC gear motor 65RPM from ebay. $60. We already have 12v relay boards available for the arduino for up to 10A. The same relay boards would work for the AC gear motor as well.

1. Fabrication of Soil Mixer
   1. In the coming week I will begin to draw fabrication diagrams for the hammermill rotor and we will begin to fabricate it at the workshop in Little Belize. Aidan Williamson (talk) 21:25, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Second Round

From Aidan

I'm glad to see the design is evolving, that an electronically driven auger will meter the stabilizer, and that a mister will fit into the equation somewhere.

1. It looks like one critical area is that the mixing chamber walls need to be a very precise offset from the hammermill teeth so that we get the right velocity of particles going out the chute. This ejection style feed relies on a high velocity output.
   1. MJ - Yes, 3000 RPM appears to be about 120 mph, not a problem.
   2. Sorry my comment above was rushed and my point was lost. I'm more concerned about fabricating the mixing drum to the precision we need. Off shelf would be the best bet but i dont know if we can get pipe that large here. Maybe. I'll call around if that's the idea, to use pipe. Aidan Williamson (talk) 17:18, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
2. The 375in-lb motor seems a bit weak if we want continuous 3000rpm while loaded. If we're using a standalone power unit can't we get higher flows and move up to a 2 cubic inch motor? What is the limiting factor in increasing system flow? Valves? We're going to be switching the drawer while the motor is engaged so I don't think the full system flow will ever enter the cylinder part - as long as we can do it in parallel. Do we need a valve for the motor? Can't it just always be running? Anyway, I think a higher flow motor would be a good idea if we can do it. 375in-lb is only about 50lbs of force at 8in radius.
   1. MJ: The motor selected for power input, and here we assume 20 hp max. That should be plenty if our brick pressing rate is 6 bpm. There is no limit to scaling flow - could use a larger motor and larger flow. But I don't think we need more than 20 hp for 6 bpm. This is a tiny hammermill.
   2. Yes its small and its heavy. The rotor drawn would be about 300lb by itself based on a quick calculation. I'll see what tractor we will be using it with and maybe we can size the motor based on the tractor flow. There are a few guys who have tractors down here that i need to talk to about renting.Aidan Williamson (talk) 17:18, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
3. The way the CAD is drawn is not clear on how the rotor is made. Are there multiple clamshell pieces with one side of the clamshell welded to each plate? I'm not sure how we would make it the way it's drawn now. I feel a better way to model it for manufacturing would be to make each part separately and then integrate them in an assembly (like using A2+) so that collaborators get a good idea of how to make it at a glance.
   1. MJ: Sure. I'll add more build detail, maybe you can do the proper explosions. I tried to put in the build detail but ran into FreeCAD bugs.
   2. Yes i will do come CAD tonight or tomorrow on it. Still unsure of where to slice the clamshells.Aidan Williamson (talk) 17:18, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

First Round

From Aidan

Hey, here is my feedback on the first concept in question form:

1. How do we know that a repeatable amount of soil and stabilizer will fall through the loading drawer aperture? Do we have a way to apply a force other than gravity to give better cycle to cycle repeatability?
   1. MJ: Depends on soil quality in both cases. Input soil has to have the right moisture content and particle size. Auger AND drawer loader will not work without proper soil quality in the first place. Can you find out from Rob if his Auger works under real life conditions
   2. Rob is very enthusiastic about his mixer. He says it works great and has offered to work with us to supply a mixer to Belize. Emails here.File:ADW Beddingfield Mixer.pdfAidan Williamson (talk) 23:21, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
2. How can we vary the ratio of soil to stabilizer in the field? Would the users be able to modulate the aperture size?
   1. MJ: that needs to be designed. Inserts into the cement drawer chamber would be one way to do it.
3. What would eject the material up and out of the chute after mixing is complete? How do we know all the material would be thrown out?
   1. MJ: Hammermill ejects mix when drawer is opened. Tolerance of hammermill hammers to chamber walls determine how well soil is emptied.
4. At what point is water incorporated into the mixing process? Is the water added to the soil beforehand? This soil would have a higher moisture content than the final mix would and this would lead to bridging in a hopper. Consider this when analyzing this point.
   1. MJ: Don't know without seeing how it works in practice.
5. The mixing would take longer than a compression cycle. That is my intuition and it may be wrong. Would this one brick mix quantity be sent to an accumulator so that the brick press is not operating at a reduced speed?
   1. MJ: Conservation of energy says that unless you have another power source, you will get fewer than the rated 6 block per minute that obtain from CEB press only operation. Ideally we have another hydraulic takeoff from a tractor or bobcat that powers the mixer.
6. Can we some way do the soil loading without an additional hydraulic actuator (or with a much less expensive cylinder)?
   1. There is no additional hydraulic actuator. One cylinder runs loading and ejection.
7. For Lime Blocks: A retention time is encouraged by texts on the subject, a time between mixing and compression. In what ways could our mixer accommodate this step?
   1. MJ: Don't know, haven't tried it.
