Comment on Bad Assumptions: Hashing Algorithms by Mohammad

Thank you!

I’m sure (although I might be proved wrong again) that SHA-1 at least would perform a lot better for a 64-bit identifier. But since I’m mainly targeting Visual C++ 2010, where INT is still 32-bit even for 64-bit builds, it’s not a pressing need for me at the moment.

But It’s definitely something I might want to look into in the future.

Now that’s quite an interesting experiment. Would be interesting to see how it trended as you expanded identifier size beyond 32 bits.

Comment on Using HtmlUnit to Test .NET Applications by Mohammad

Thank you!

Actually I would love to sign the whole thing over to the Selenium guys, but I still can’t figure out their build system, so I’m unable to wrap my code in a nice little patch that they can just apply to their source tree.

Maybe at some point I’ll poke around their mailing lists and see if they would be interested.

Nice work, what about contributing that to Selenium/WebDriver?

Comment on UV Geometry Constraint Goes To The Attic by Mohammad

Alan,

Thank you for both the tip and the correction! I must confess that I don’t really have any need for this plug-in. I just simply enjoyed the challenge and was drunk on the success of the plain Geometry Constraint plug-in I had made earlier.

That’s one great demo reel you have on your website by the way. I’m slightly envious

StudioNest’s PixelParticles does the uniform distribution of particles on the UVs of a polymesh and more:

(Also it evaluates really fast.)

ps: Completely unrelated but if you’re reading this, Mohammad, you got a typo in the word “Microsoft” in your “About Me” box on the right side.

Thanks for putting this out there. Just been testing it for constraining wing feathers to the back of a wing mesh on a rig I’m working on. Looks like it could be useful.

This is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing it! It’s going to save me a lot of time and frustration – this kind of functionality should be built in to Softimage – but I’m glad you took the time to step up and “fill the gap”

This would be great if the constrained object would keep it’s local rotation once the constraining surface is moved or rotated.

Constrain an obj to a sphere. Rotate the sphere several times. Bring sphere back to 0,0,0. Constrained object’s rotation has changed.

Any chance you can compile for 64-bit?
