Topic: Tag Alias: blender -> blender_(disambiguation)

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Aliasing blender → blender_(disambiguation)
Link to alias

Reason:

Correct use of tag would be to indicate blender being in the post, the object.
However it seems like the majority of stuff under the tag was to descripe how the post was made with blender, the software.

I manually moved the 3D artwork stuff that didn't include blender_(object) to blender_(software). I have no idea how useful that tag even is, but something like source_filmmaker is tag as well and it is likely users will keep tagging stuff made with blender_(software) with just blender.

blender_(object) to signify blender.
blender_(software) to signify stuff made with blender software.

Additionally blender3d -> blender_(software).

There's nothing in the images to suggest they were made with Blender modelling software, so I don't think that's a valid thing to tag.

Neither are majority of source_filmmaker. And I also think it's not that good tag to have, but problem is how many of the posts with blender tag were tagged with blender without blender being on image.

After that manual moving:
blender_(object) (now still just blender) has 32 posts.
blender_(software) has 78 posts.

Meanwhile source_filmmaker has thousands of posts, almost none have any indication to the software on the post themselves.

Perhaps invalidating the software tag and aliasing blender to blender_(object) or blender_(appliance).

...It doesn't actually seem that blender_(object) was ever used.

This... The UI of the blender program would have to be visible.

existing posts under blender_(software) do not fit under twys but if it was treated in the same way as other software tags like microsoft_windows in requiring visible paraphernalia or characters interacting with interfaces that are running Microsoft programs related to windows then it could work

That may actually be better approach, if someone tags the post with simply blender, it's much easier to see it's false tag and remove/change it.

However what about if in future there's image with blender software showing in some form? If the tag is invalid, it can't be tagged even if it's correct tag.

These do not count? How many of source_filmmaker will fall under twys?

no they do not, blender isnt really the only 3d software that utilizes freehand yxz-axis or 3d grid space, would have to see the complete interface like you do with SAI here post #406563

As for source_filmmaker they would seem to have the same problem of pretty much being any 3d modeling program, nothing to point out that they are "source_filmmaker" instead of programs like Autodesk Maya and others or even blender.

For all these tags concerning software it would be best to only apply to character interaction with such within the image, not to be tagged as how the image was made.

blender_(software), source_filmmaker, paint_tool_sai, adobe_photoshop, autodesk_maya, 3ds_max, autodesk_skethbook, carrara, daz_studio, microsoft_paint (no longer in use) or any software tags are equally valid (or invalid).

There are also a few posts in maya that should probably be in autodesk_maya or maya_(software) (both exist)

This feels like hard to fight, feels more like either invalidate all or let it happen, they are not obvious mistags, just not usually visible.

Gui and 3D_manupulation_program might be worthwhile tags. We can alias all of the tags involving showing the manipulation field to the latter tag and then put the gui tag when it's relevant.

It should be noted that Poser was invalidated. Because animation software tags are pointless, often tagged by outside information, and often tagged incorrectly by users who think that only one software exists.

Source_filmmaker seems slightly more distinct, but are all of those actually made with it? Hard to say. In any case, multi-format software such as daz_studio should definitely be aliased to 3D.
