This belonged to a Mr L.M Peters. lets take a minute and remember this stuff we're scanning used to belong to someone.
this was his personal medical pouch

@dull oar Any tips to scan the bolt ? What's the best way ? keep it in the air with some string ?
I believe that i need to scan it at 360 degrees ?
do you also need a scan for the magazine ? since it's under the bolt, i don't think that you were able to scan it
dull oar
<@780862799798468648> Any tips to scan the bolt ? What's the best way ? keep it ...
Magazine would be great thank you.
I will typically hang the smaller objects on fishing line or something, give it a tap and take some pictures. I think with lidar it needs to remain perfectly still. Rest it on the bottom if you can, you never see it when operating the gun unless your take the bolt out right?
tired brook
Yes, the under side of the bolt is locked inside the gun as long as you donโt unlock it to take it out. The 2 important things should be the top of the bolt and the front side where the cartridge is pushed onto.
Thanks for the tip ๐
Normally, with standard usage of the rifle you shouldnโt be able to see it unless you tweak the camera or go in spec so shouldnโt be an issue

Make sure to set the capture size to the smallest mode, and keep the object in focus. Scanniverse uses the main camera which has a minimum focal distance of a 1ft or 30ish centimeters

sadly, my old grandpa took the strap off and cut it to use it somewhere, but as you know, back in the days they didn't wanted to talk too much about all of this, so it's the only thing missing, but yeah it's in good shape ! And still shoot really well !
gaunt agate
Wish I could shoot one of these
tired brook
Yep i can assure it's really nice and fun, it's also a really great piece of history
even more when i see all the german inscription on it, apparently from the "story" from my family it was a k98k that was issued to some SS troops
That was left over after
tired brook
Well, doesn't seem to be working, i let the bolt hanging in the air
with some fishing line
but the lidar doesn't seem to recognize the bolt at all
really strange
any tips ?
dull oar
Because it's hanging it might not be able to scan it with lidar. Try placing it on a table and try again with it
Just photos should work with it hanging though
tired brook
will try, thanks
sweet cloak

Is the bolt really shinny?

#1099591203768504421 message
It's not remix caused but mark suggested it could be solved on the remix side. If there are other projects that have normal related issues a remix side fix like this could help remedy it.
#1099591203768504421 message
Cod2 is bending the normals in the wrong direction when a joint moves, it's a bug in the original game as well but the meshes were so low polygon you didn't see the error so much. We'd need a custom compiler to get around it which we don't have so I'm just going to have to live with it
Option to set the colour on a light you assign to a texture in the runtime would help. My muzzle flashes are currently white
unborn robin
Option to set the colour on a light you assign to a texture in the runtime would...
Can you explain this one a bit more?
dull oar
Can you explain this one a bit more?
So when you're marking textures in the runtime (this is a decal, this one's terrain, this one's UI ect) one option is to add a light to a texture. You have control over the brightness but not over the colour, you're stuck with default white.
It's a super convenient way of handling muzzle flashes by adding a light to the muzzle flash texture that appears when you shoot
unborn robin
Hmm, I see. Clever use of that! Is there any stable geometry created along with that texture, to which a light replacement can be anchored via the toolkit?
dull oar
Not from particles no, it's scaling the polygon planes non uniformly so the hash changes
unborn robin
That makes sense, yeah. Hmm. I'd say open up a feature request issue explaining what you just explained above. If we choose to take it up, we can brain storm another method, but can always fall back on your proposed solution of assigning the colored light to the texture.
I assume you want something a little warmer for a muzzle flash than pure white ๐

Looks like someone's turning a room light on and off lol

could be a remix thing
i'll remove it and see if that sorts it

Not having any issues with skincache off in cod4. Might have to increase some other buffers for that ... but you no longer get any warnings?

Xoxor4d patched in a fix to my limited skin cache size issue that came about due to my characters needing more polygons. For it to work we have to disable skin cache but it looks like disabling skin cache makes the characters unstable in remix. The characters mesh goes all spikey.
If I add indices to the mesh hash rule it stabilizes the skin issue but the world becomes unstable
granite forge
Could also increase the skin cache buffer but thats not something that can be done via hex editing -> would require injection
dull oar
Nah it's fine man. it only happens on default characters it seems
And I'm replacing them ain't i

I tried this too, and found out that it only works on one face recieving direct light
dull oar
no it's just the old one. stacking a 1,000,000 polymesh isnt wise
gaunt agate
So a lamp or foliage only has one face that can recieve and transmit light
But a ear would have the oter part recieve light, and then cause a shadow on the inner part
Like this

dull oar
think with the SSS for flesh i'm sure we'll be there in no time. Could also do with two separate reflection maps with two roughness inputs to get proper skin shine sorted
this is the GOAT of skin shaders
https://docs.chaos.com/display/VRAYHOUDINI/V-Ray+alSurface
we should stop and remember this is cod2 ๐
gaunt agate
The problem with remix is that it doesn't support volumetric sss. It only does translucency, so only one layer can transmit light to the other side. When you have a face, there's light coming in from one side, but it doesn't get out of the other. It also doesn't do anything with the normal map
They'll probably have to reimplement it to make it work with skin
dull oar
yea, i'm bff's with mark now, he'll sort it out for me
gaunt agate
Here's an ear vs a curved single sided surface
One can easily scatter light while the other does nothin

Turns out i cant edit the dll in the game files if i want to share my cod2 mod, that's frustrating. Guess if I want a stable game it's down to any advancements in the remix hash code stuff
New Game Materials shall not contain modifications to any COM, EXE or DLL files or to any other executable Product files.
its all because the pvs culling system chops the mesh up as it culls stuff with portals. @static tangle is there any advancements in that area since we last talked about it? my dll trick work around wont work anymore ๐ฆ
static tangle

This is talking about hash instability when the game chops up the level geometry differently? There's really not much we can do about that from the Remix side.... the game is sending fundamentally different meshes when it does that.
You could do something like editing the map to add some anchor meshes, and then just attach replacement geometry to those anchor meshes. Kinda labor intensive tho
static tangle
Turns out i cant edit the dll in the game files if i want to share my cod2 mod, ...
Any chance you can reach out to whoever sets those policies and ask for an exception? Or distribute the mod outside those channels? I know ENB had to have its own distribution and install process for ages.

its the license in the game files, had no idea it existed until last night.
static tangle
well, I definitely can't comment on anything to do with legal / license stuff like that :/
dull oar
yea for sure. just wondered if anyone has been working on hash stability recent, if we had any new tricks
static tangle
But it may be worth dropping a message to a community manager or something seeing if you can get permission for what you're working on.

yea, level props are rock
static tangle
can you edit the map?
static tangle
How's the perf if you do that?
dull oar
not sure, any version of that prop will have my map tagged on it ๐
thing is the verts of the brushes stay in the same position, they just cull some of them
static tangle
We can't really afford to try to do per-triangle matching at runtime, that would be ridiculously expensive.
dull oar
i'll take a look at the stability and get back to you with some examples if you dont mind. see if you can help me out a bit
binding my new buildings to something stable would work though
static tangle
Portal RTX was made without replacing any brushes, so it's possible to do a good job without. That's also part of why POM was so requested. But I do admit it's not quite as desireable, especially if you've already made replacement geo for them
granite forge
nope, no source for it
Can provide that if that if you want.
As to shipping a modified game dll - how about a separate dll (asi) that does all of the required tweaks to game code at runtime in game memory?
That way you only ship your own code

going to have a think on a dog walk, that always works

It's very very unlikely that they would even consider doing anything to your project. It does not try to be its own thing (like a standalone) nor does it enable people to play it for free or add new features
timid trout
@dull oar You don't have to ship your patched DLLs, you can either ship the patch files, or as xoxor4d said ship an asi mod to do the patching
timid trout
if i can spawn objects with game script and force them to never cull i'm golden

fun trick: look into the opposite direction with the game cam and then enable remix free cam to look behind ya to see the culling

I thought the same but it appears to be working
what was it this command doing btw?
granite forge
it basically freezes the vieworigin and direction for the dpvs culling system they use
timid trout
so should player be looking down at the world before dying?
timid trout
alright, should I also ensure that the world is inside the view frustum?
granite forge
yes everything that is not captured will be culled otherwise
the one big issue with this is that if you are very far away, LOD's will be at their lowest or even disabled entirely as the lowest LOD sometimes removes the model
timid trout
good?
granite forge
you can increase the lod scaling but even that has its limits

because it's so brittle (small leaves/branches)

well, the only COD project that's been shut down on my mind were ones that utilized multiplayer
which guess might mean
losing possible players on new COD
dull oar
only multiplayer works on COD2 RTX though
stoic jetty
well, unlike other MP projects, i doubt someone really would take a huge hype to play COD2, i think most of people would play SP, so they would wait until SP would get Remixed
therefore not so huge risk
the fact its working on MP currently is more of a tech thing for now to improve further rather than an intentional purpose to Remix game's multiplayer

is someone working on this other than me?

Cod2 blender tools

i'll be honest i didn't notice
and he still looks dead inside/lifeless
but some people irl do look like that too
so ๐คทโโ๏ธ
radiant belfry
i mean
it's a modern model with modern rendering with animations from 2003
so it's gonna look rough in that way
slow shore
im not saying it doesn't look great, just commenting on that specific thing
dull oar
I got work tomorrow if you wanna see someone who's dead inside

slow shore
it's a modern model with modern rendering with animations from 2003
the animations don't matter that much tbh
i just obsessed with realistic faces for a bit
dull oar
the data is all scan based and bang on, i think its the rig pushing it around into slightly off poses

summer brook
i dont know how to fix that ๐
Can't you copy the weights vertex by vertex?
dull oar
its in two different files, i dont know how
they should line up if i can line them up but thats by eye as well
slow shore
oh and no eye lashes or brows on my guy
maybe but im nitpicking a bit ofc, it's already a big step up from what the original models were so
