I have a ton of things building in my file, but I need to be able to retime them. So say I have on part starting to build at 200frames and it builds for 100frames. I need to be able to change the start time from 200 to say 320 in a fast and easy way. Preferable from the dopesheet or graph editor. Because I have over 100 animating objects  Is there a way to add the build modifier timing to the dopesheet so build animations can be retimed?
I was wondering if there was a method to alter object settings at a set point in an animation in blender.  For example, I want to make the color of an object blue for the first 20 frames, but after 20 frames I want its color to change to green. Is there any known method of doing this? I could not find anything when I searched.
Using adjustbox along with table footnote Does the Planck scale imply that spacetime is discrete? On a quantum scale the smallest unit is the , which is a discrete measure.  There several question that come to mind:   Does that mean that particles can only live in a discrete grid-like structure,  i.e. have to "magically" jump from one pocket to the next? But where are they in between? Does that even give rise to the old paradox that movement as such is impossible (e.g. )? Does the same hold true  for time (i.e. that it is discrete) - with all the ensuing paradoxes? Mathematically does it mean that you have to use difference equations instead of differential equations? (And sums instead of integrals?) From the point of view of the space metric do you have to use a discrete metric (e.g. the ) instead of good old Pythagoras?   Thank you for giving me some answers and/or references where I can turn to.  Update: I just saw this call for papers - it seems to be quite a topic after all: Is Reality Digital or Analog? FQXi Essay Contest, 2011. , , . One can find some pretty amazing papers over there. I have a model which you can see here (camera perspective).    In the second image, you can see how the render turned out.    I'm at my wit's end trying to figure our why it's not showing up in the render. If anyone needs more information, just ask and I'll get it to you. I've already checked the normals and they're not the cause. When are stopovers permitted on Japan Railways (JR) trains? Regarding : in general, what are the rules governing stopovers for JR trains if one does not use a rail pass? A stopover means you have a ticket from stations A to B (say, Tokyo to Hiroshima) and you disembark and exit the ticket gates at an intermediate station (say, Kyoto).  (Spoiler alert: it's complicated.) Getting a better understanding of callback functions in JavaScript I understand passing in a function to another function as a callback and having it execute, but I'm not understanding the best implementation to do that. I'm looking for a very basic example, like this:  var myCallBackExample = {     myFirstFunction : function( param1, param2, callback ) {         // Do something with param1 and param2.         if ( arguments.length == 3 ) {             // Execute callback function.             // What is the "best" way to do this?         }     },     mySecondFunction : function() {         myFirstFunction( false, true, function() {             // When this anonymous function is called, execute it.         });     } };   In myFirstFunction, if I do return new callback(), then it works and executes the anonymous function, but that doesn't seem like the correct approach to me.

Does seam itself affect baking? I'm tutoring high school students. I've always taught them that:     A charged particle moving without acceleration produces an electric as well as a magnetic field.   It produces an electric field because it's a charge particle. But when it is at rest, it doesn't produce a magnetic field. All of a sudden when it starts moving, it starts producing a magnetic field. Why? What happens to it when it starts moving? What makes it produce a magnetic field when it starts moving? What is the best way to represent show and hide in icons? I have a web page that has a list of columns of information.  All columns have names and then some of the columns have items in them.   I want to have an icon to represent   Hide all empty columns Showing all columns   All of the icons i see for hide look like "delete" so i want to see if there are any representations of "hide" icons that don't look like delete.  And for "show" the only thing i see is an eye graphic which doesn't seem very intuitive to me.  Does anyone have any recommendations for good "hide" and "show" icons? Reviewing suggested edit of own post after completing 20 reviews I've completed 20 suggested edits reviews today. Then, I came across a  and I approved it.   Then, I had a doubt that whether the review count has incremented or not, oh! it's not incrementing. System works fine.  But, take a look at review page,     The edit was already reviewed by one reviewer and then I reviewed it. As I'm the Owner of the post it's enough to approve the edit. But, the review history doesn't show the detail that I had approved it. It's misleading that only one vote of a reviewer who is neither the community user nor the OP nor the moderator, is enough.  So, what should we do in this type of situation?  Is it correct to make OP to review the suggested edit after completing daily limit?  Should we need to display/hide the OP has approved the edit in the review history? Given the length ot the sides $a , b$ and $c$  of $ \triangle ABC$.  What is the length of the radius of the circumcribed circle?  After some formula substitution I came to the monster formula:  $$ \frac {a b c}{\sqrt{2a^2b^2+2a^2c^2+2b^2c^2-a^4-b^4-c^4}} $$  Can this formula be simplified? Are the proofs for the properties of parallel lines, and that a triangle has 180 degrees, inherently tautological? I've noticed something while trying to prove the properties of parallel lines, and the properties that a triangle has 180 degrees. To prove the properties of parallel lines, such as alternate angles, you need to use the property that a triangle has 180 degrees. To prove a triangle has 180 degrees however, you need to use the properties of parallel lines. This really bothers me because of how circular it is. They are both reliant on each other to be true, and do not logically show, without being reliant on each other, why triangles have 180 degrees, and why parallel line properties are true.   So what I hoping for here is a way to prove parallel line properties without using the fact that a triangle has 180 degrees, or a way to prove triangles have 180 degrees without using parallel line properties. This way, things will be logical to me, and make sense.   Thanks in advance. I was wondering what the cardinality of the set of all real sequences is. A random search through this site says that it is equal to the cardinality of the real numbers. This is very surprising to me, since the cardinality of all rational sequences is the same as the cardinality of reals, and it seemed fairly intuitive to me that if cardinality of a set $A$ is strictly greater than the cardinality of the set $B$, then cardinality of $A^{\mathbb{N}}$ should be strictly greater than cardinality of $B^{\mathbb{N}}$. It turns out to be false.  Some technical answers have appeared in this forum elsewhere but I do not understand them. As I am not an expert in this topic, could some one explain me in simple terms why this is happening?  Also is the cardinality of all functions from reals to reals also the same as the cardinality of reals? Placing nodes midway on paths using |- or -| in tikz I make frequent use of |- and -| with computed points in diagrams, like so:  \coordinate (a) at (0,0); \foreach \x in (1,...,10) {     \coordinate (b) at ({whateverFunction(\x)},{whateverOtherFunction(\x)});     \draw (a) |- (b); %Straight line segment     \draw (b) -| (a); %Another straight line segment     \coordinate (a) at (b); }   To get plots like:   I would like to be able to label the midpoint of each line segment, but doing something like node[midway,above] {a} does not act like expected:    I want something like:    Why does midway not work, and what is a good workaround here? Error mounting NTFS partition after hybrid shutdown with Windows 8 I've got this error and I can't access my files located in a different partition when I'm using Ubuntu, but when I'm using Windows 8 my files are accessible.

I can't change materials I was making a scene in blender and I wanted to change the texture from "Material_1" to "Material_2". It lets me change it but when I go to rendered view the part looks the same. can someone please help me In superluminal phase velocities, what is it that is traveling faster than light? I understand that information cannot be transmitted at a velocity greater than speed of light. I think of this in terms of the radio broadcast: the station sends out carrier frequencies $\omega_c$ but the actual content is carried in the modulated wave, the sidebands $\omega_c\pm\omega_m$. The modulation envelop has its group velocity and this is the speed at which information is being transmitted. We also know, for example, that x-rays in glass have a phase velocity which is greater than the speed of light in vacuum.   My question is, what exactly is it that is travelling faster than the speed of light?    EDIT: I know it couldn't be anything physical as its superluminal. My problem is, what is it that has absolutely no information content yet we associate a velocity with it. When you respond to someone in a comment you use @PersonsName.
