SCP: Containment Breach

[blissful pilot]

Alright done lighting those rooms

took longer than I wanted but I put a little effort into it

gonna record and show ya, and try it out

I wanna figure out why my recording software records at a differnt frame rate though

[oak dirge]

There is a magnet snap thing in the controls on the top left of the viewport

There is also a button to teleport your selection to your cursor

I link the lights to the existing lights and not the meshes so they don't get culled

And then turn off the existing light

And you can just copy and paste the light of the same type and move it over

[blissful pilot]

That was a ... long recording session

christ

alright, theres a white fog that appears outside, no idea what causes it

I updated the sky textures to be set to Sky Texture, in my RTX.conf file, and the gravel/snow bugs out, setting it to decal fixes it, but it isn't a great fix obviously

otherwise, my god. does the game look stunning with raytracing

even outside with the sun and sky, it works really well, with minimal effort

I'm going to quickly edit and voice those findings into a short video to show

also is there a light limit or something in vanilla? there shouldnt be

as youll see as well, lights in 860's room just kinda... disappeared?

[blissful pilot]

Alright, took a while to edit that, but I think its worth it

shows some of the major problems we'd face with the outside

Also I think I figured out why my recordings were a weird framerate, because I was playing the game in 1080p but on a 4k monitor, and changing the game to 1440p and my display settings to 1440p produced flawless recordings with matching framerate to what I see ingame

so my recordings and updates wont look like crap from now on (hopefully)

[vague spindle]

Would be explain why diffuse height map would have werid black ball of player on some of faces.

[blissful pilot]

oh maybe

[vague spindle]

^ This what i meant.

[blissful pilot]

oh the same as the white fog?

[vague spindle]

ifi go other same room they appear just work normal.

it's seems it's just a face/normal issue.

[blissful pilot]

This is so strange, fascinating and ... weird

Good news though

secondary lighting does turn off "lighting" in vanilla RTX

it doesn't turn off the lights or the emissive textures, but it puts a dark overlay over the game, simular to blinking; so that's just how the mechanic works, and we'll have to roll with it

it looks good though, I didn't notice it didn't turn the lights off for a second

[blissful pilot]

Probably the last edited video for the night, if you have the time I'd suggest watching it, first half of it I show a lot of cool stuff, rooms I roughly lit 079's room, heavy to entrance, electrical centre, I show off the secondary lighting stuff, 1499's dimension and what that looks like with sky textures, and then the second half is me playing around with fog settings for a long period of time and trying to find a fix to rooms deloading and the players view distance

I didn't find a fix though, I think finding a RTX config file that does the fog correctly would be amazing, it would make the game look amazing, and the game unfortunately relies on not being able to see far distances, In the process I'm pretty sure I screwed up my RTX conf file, but thats alright

[oak dirge]

Have to mess with the new volumetric settings then

[oak dirge]

Can you package what you have so I can see if it carries over?

remix still not working 😦

also if you have a list of what you've captured so far that'd be great.
since I can't open projects just gotta capture I guess

[blissful pilot]

Yeah no kidding

[blissful pilot]

And yeah I can do that, I’m also going to update the mod files on the Google drive

But I’ll package the project files/captures here so you can work with them and/or play with the volumetrics in game

[blissful pilot]

alrighty

that took way longer than I wanted it to

intro area is fully lit, all the lighting makes sense and is accurate to the base game, only few tweaks there, same with 079's room. 860's room and the forest itself is broken, I've tried setting the textures as best as I can, 1499 is weird looking, the video shows that, and gate b is unchanged from the video, same with the electrical centre and heavy to entrance

i'll put a video out when I can, but I work in a bit; so the only thing I'm going to do right now is update the mod on the Google drive and send project files here

My RTX conf file

[blissful pilot]

I have no idea why its not working, have been trying to get it working on my laptop but haven't been able to

but if you want it, or want to give it a try

Here is the rtx-remix from my game

Yeah I have no clue why, I'll have to try it later on

[blissful pilot]

Alright I did figure something out, on my main PC the mod files work when they’re placed on my desktop, but they break once I play the game anywhere else, even if it’s the exact same files, so something is weird with it, I’m going to try to get it working later on

I’m outta time as of now though

[oak dirge]

looking now

Lmao it crashed my pc

[oak dirge]

it doesn't detect any usd's but the lights might work idk yet

base game is definitely a lot glitchier

[blissful pilot]

It’s probably not going to work, word to the wise

Doesn’t even work on mine lol

[oak dirge]

seems to not work
just the glitchy base game lights

[blissful pilot]

Yeah I’ll figure out the files and fix it later when I can, I just had to go to work my weekend job unfortunately

I do have my laptop, so I could possibly fiddle with it then

[blissful pilot]

Give that one a try; if you have time @oak dirge

I’d say 50/50 odds it works, might do the same thing it did last time, it did work on my laptop, but tanked in FPS, I couldn’t do further testing than that, because it was compiled during my break

If it doesn’t work, there’s one more thing I want to try on my main PC when I get home from work

[oak dirge]

testing

it sees the usd this time but only intro is lit
no 079

also random glitch happens where a frozen frame overlays on the screen

[blissful pilot]

Hm strange

None of the other areas are lit either?

I think I know exactly what’s up with it then, and I’ll have to fix that when I get home

Question for you guys though

Where do you normally set up your project files for RTX Remix?

And when you capture, does it go to the rtx-remix/captures in the games directory, the deps/captures/ in the project folder? Or both?

[oak dirge]

ez stuff isn't lit either

rtx-remix captures

and my projects are just in another folder on the same drive off root

captures always go to both since it's a symlink folder

have you tried just packaging your mod in toolkit and sending that

like how people send them over modio or whatever

[blissful pilot]

Ah ha, and I think that’s exactly what’s wrong with mine, I don’t think mine is, I think I messed it up at some point

If you take a screenshot of your rtx-remix folder, inside your own, what do the folders look like? Like the symlink folder

[blissful pilot]

I’m pretty sure my captures only go to deps/captures in my project folder, for the past week I’m pretty sure I’ve had to move it over to rtx-remix, if my memory serves me right

Once again, I’ll try stuff out when I get home

DM-ed Vain Brain by the way

So we’ll see what he has to offer for texture sources when he gets back to me

[blissful pilot]

christ sakes

ok, two issues; 1. RTX remix is now telling me it cannot use my rtx-remix path, the one I've been using this entire time for the mod because it "has a whitespace in the path name" being the C:/users/Inward**| |**3D/" no idea why it had no problem with it before, but it does now, secondly; If i port all those files to a location that doesn't have a white space, it says it cant load the mod sublayers and nothing works or is loaded with starting a new project

this hurts my brain so much

maybe I should record this, I have no fricking clue what is going on

I was able to load up my project, lighting was there, looked good; project file is in C:/, game file is on desktop, I opened a game file identical in C:/ and tried to save a mod file in same place so the project file and the mod file is the same and

[blissful pilot]

OK FINALLY

gosh, so the problem is I really haven't got a clue what the differnce between 1. a mod package 2. the mod project file and 3. the mod files inside the games directory i've been working on

but I finally noticed that small tab for "mod packaging" and that produced something that is self dependant and makes this version of my mod playable in a fresh install

finally

now I gotta figure out how to take that, or the project files and edit them from a different computer

but if you want to play it

Im pretty sure the captures folder is required to work

unless I'm wrong there, please correct me

here it is

I can confirm it works on a fresh install on my laptop

had to make sure because it inadvertantly unzipped it to rtx-remix/rtx-remix/ but if the captures and mods folder is in rtx-remix correctly it works on a fresh install

thank god

can move on to figuring out RTX remix

all the rooms work as expected too, checked that too

[vague spindle]

tired with your rtx-remix folder but the rooms that are darks going need fix or something?

[blissful pilot]

Which rooms?

[blissful pilot]

Start, 173; (the intro area) room079, room2ccon, checkpoint2, room860, and exit1 are the only rooms I've lit in the mod thus far

Start, 173, and room079 are the only rooms that are like complete where the lighting is accurate to the base game and are lined up correctly with corresponding lights

but yes, besides those rooms; every other room will still be dark

[vague spindle]

ah okay

[oak dirge]

The desktop is also in C:\Users\username

[blissful pilot]

Yeah but for some things in RTX remix, for whatever reason it cannot have a white space in the file path

my user name in C:/Users/ is "Inward 3D" and that cannot be changed without a fresh install of windows which is a lot of work and I'm going to avoid doing

I was able to figure out how to load a mod file and load the lights, but for some reason the captures aren't loading properly, so still trying to figure that out

[blissful pilot]

that being said, that mod file should work if you just want to play with the mod

or if you want to try tweaking volumetrics in the rtx.conf file

because that should be able to be done ingame

[oak dirge]

it's working now

still getting the random frozen frames though

and the second light in 079 stairwell is off center

[blissful pilot]

The second light in that stairwell is actually interesting

I choose not to have it the same height as the other one deliberately, that second one actually matches the lighting of the base game more than the first one; however, the shadows disappear prematurely due to mesh culling of the light mesh

the first light in that stairwell is made to be the same as all the lights have been made up until that point, where the shadow is out of view for mesh culling to be an issue

that being said, if we can somehow find a fix to mesh culling shadows, I think the second stairwell light approach would promote better results for lighting all over the game

[blissful pilot]

also, make sure frame gen is turned off if you have not yet

[oak dirge]

that could be it since i never had it on until I imported your rtx.conf

[blissful pilot]

oh maybe, yeah theres a lot of corrections made in that

the fog distance can also play a key role I found, I would constantly set it to "camerafog 99999"

[oak dirge]

couldn't even tell it was the height, it looked like it was off to the left

[blissful pilot]

it should be lined up, it's probably just the height difference, I'll double check in a sec, nonetheless its the only light deliberately abnormal

[oak dirge]

also sucks that in vanilla we can't see documents and the blinking/overlay is only some of the screen

I could tell it was off cause there is a shadow on the right side of the bulb

[blissful pilot]

Yeah I eventually want to try tackling those as well

plus getting it running in 4K if I can

vanilla can run in 4K with the wrapper, but doesn't with RTX remix, at some point I want to try a few things in an attempt to get that working

[oak dirge]

I wonder what would happen with culling if we just replace the lamps

[blissful pilot]

Well we can’t replace the lamps in RTX remix, because the game culls them out and remix doesn’t include them in the hash, as far as my understanding of it is, but one idea I did have is just adding meshes for the lamps inside RTX remix parented to the room itself, and then we make the .b3d mesh of the lamp non existent, or we do half and half? Like have a separate mesh just for the inside of the lamp to cast shadows when culling happens

That way, those lamp meshes we add into rtx remix will only be culled out when the room is culled out

Which arguably if it has a lot of polygons, would affect performance, but because it’s on the Graphics pipeline between the engine and the GPU rather than the game itself, I can’t see it being too much of an issue

I’ve been tempted to try it for a while

Maybe I should do that next, 3D model and remaster the lamp to test that theory

[oak dirge]

Do we want to light using the lamps though since they are off in-game?

If we do it would be cool to try using the transmission features and have an actual light bulb

[blissful pilot]

I thought about it, but decided against it for lore reasons

[oak dirge]

So will be using the normal little rectangle things still

And then mesh replacing the lamps to keep them rendered

[blissful pilot]

I have an idea for it, I’m going to try it today

I think it’s going to work really well

We’ll split up the lamps into two meshes, an outer shell that will be culled out being the .b3d file, and then an inner shell, both sharing the same material but the inner shell will only cover the area that will cast a shadow

I think it’s going to work really well, and have minimal issues with performance that way, but I wanna try it today to find out

[blissful pilot]

alright, I'm on my computron onw

so to start, I want to see if I can fully remaster the lamp model and it's materials if I can before we throw it into each room, So I'm going to get started on that, if any of you want to help, this is the texture I'm looking for sourcing

[oak dirge]

cleared out everything and remix toolkit just doesn't work anymore

rip

[blissful pilot]

Yeah i had the same thing, its a pain in the butt

still trying to figure that out

also I forgot to update you guys with progress

SRC

The last class D head scan was found

SRC

As well as the headscan for the clerk

so the Nazi SS Officer and the two old guys, one for Chief Franklin, and the other for body2.jpg are the only faces left to find

secondly

The file cabinet texture is a modified version of the file cabinet from that game creators model pack, its pack #32

SRC

The stock image they used is possibly this one from adobe stock images, the wood grain matches up SRC

And I think thats all the progress that I've made a couple days ago but forgot to update and post here

binders also come from this model pack, havent found their stock image yet though

boxfile_a.jpg

[vague spindle]

neat

[blissful pilot]

SRC

Found the source of the S-Nav image used, photoshopped of course

I actually bought one too to use for the remaster, not identical; but its simular enough that I can digitally modify a photoscan to match the ingame model

Check it out

I bought two; one is being shipped to me by a friend who offered to help and lives in the US, the one he’s shipping me is in the same gray color as the one in game

This also came in the mail for me

[stark lotus]

Hell yeah

badass

[blissful pilot]

comparision of a 3D scan of it vs the original photo

[formal sierra]

awesome

[stark lotus]

actually perfect wtf

the original mask is a product u can buy?

[formal sierra]

AND YOU HAVE THE FACE SCANS TOO

[blissful pilot]

That's the tricky part, it appears to be a mold of some kind, I've found a few, but this was the only one i could get my hands on

[formal sierra]

that's awesome

[blissful pilot]

yep

[formal sierra]

the only one i have is that one bald dude lol

[blissful pilot]

it looks to be an old vintage porcelain mask of some kind, I think from the 1970s-1990s

its unbranded, but they must've been made using the same mold

thats about all I know

buying it was very much a shot in the dark, more so than the others

[blissful pilot]

Yeah we have all of them except body2, Chief franklin, and the SS officer that appears in SCP-1123

[stark lotus]

I wish i could help more with the searches, but im always preoccupied with something lol

[formal sierra]

yeah i tried looking for franklin too but couldn't find anything (albeit i didn't put that much effort into finding it lol)

i may be just a LITTLEEEE bit late, but these genuinely look so good for such an early prototype

sorry im just digging through all the progress you guys have been making lol

[stark lotus]

only a LITTLE bit late 😛
and thanks, I think I made them in InstaMat which is free

[formal sierra]

just a tiny little little bit late lol

i think i've heard of that before

[formal sierra]

and here i was thinking at least SOME of the character models were original 😔

[blissful pilot]

No worries man, we do whatever we can on our own time, it’s expected

Speaking of which, tomorrow is my birthday so I may not be able to do much searches or work tomorrow

I’ll try to do what I can, but I may be occupied by dinner or other things people are doing for me

[formal sierra]

wait no

9 minutes

[blissful pilot]

You should see the ones I made using AI, they’re also present in the current version of the mod

[formal sierra]

i'll check them out

also im not well versed in anything related to nvidia cause well

i have an AMD gpu

so can you run RTX remixes with AMD graphics cards?

[blissful pilot]

You can but I’m only not familiar with it, if you wanted you could give it a try

As long as your AMD GPU supports pathtracing I’ve read on Nvidia articles that it can work

I have a tutorial somewhere here too

[formal sierra]

YES

[blissful pilot]

I’ll see if I can find that video, along with current files

[formal sierra]

sure that would be great :)

i really need to get a new GPU though lol

[blissful pilot]

Because I’m definitely curious about running it on an AMD

[formal sierra]

everytime i move around in the Blender viewport I can hear the coil whine through my headphones

yeah me too

[blissful pilot]

I tried with my steam deck, but unsurprisingly it just played the base game normally without the rtx overlay

[formal sierra]

HL2 RTX ran like hot garbage though

[blissful pilot]

But it still ran on yours?

[formal sierra]

on hopes and dreams

[blissful pilot]

Also HL2 Ran like hot garbage on my 4050 Arm processor, and yet this mod runs significantly better being an older game

I suppose HL2 is older than CB, but with how much bloat they stuffed into the remake, no wonder it took a hit on performance

[formal sierra]

yeah its crazy lol

i think it looks good but idk

HL2 just had this kind of distinct artstyle

the new models they made seem to lack that slightly

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

(in my timezone at least lol)

[blissful pilot]

Yeah it's my birthday in my timezone too MST

[formal sierra]

oh yeah we have the same timezone lol

[blissful pilot]

Alright I think I got it

RTX Files - Includes options.ini, rtx.conf, RTX runtime, dxwrapper, and the mod file to light up the intro area, room079, room2ccont, room860, checkpoint2, and exit1 (Gate B)

This video is kind old, but it acts a pretty decent tutorial on how to install it and get it working step by step

The Google drive link I made with all the files to get ray-tracing working In SCP Containment Breach v1.3.11, It consists of three folders, RTX Runtime; which has all the RTX runtime files latest version, Misc; which has the options.ini, - Launcher is enabled and can be disabled by preference, The Misc folder also holds the mod usd file i'm currently running in the rtx-remix folder, as well as the rtx.conf file that worked best for me after tinkering with it. and lastly the dxwrapper folder, which holds all the dxwrapper files needed, its a mix of elishacloud's debug and dx7 games dxwrapper binaries.

Sometimes the RTX Runtime "unexpectedly closes" if that happens, just keep trying to open it, once I try it a couple times it works. besides that, any monitor that uses render target, such as the CCTV monitor in the intro area is bugged and causes the screen to flicker, you can also adjust settings for RTX by pressing "Alt + X" to bring up the developer menu

I also reccomend setting "camerafog 99999" in console if you want the identical look to the video I sent earlier

Intro area is fully lit, all the lighting makes sense and is accurate to the base game, only few tweaks there, same with 079's room. 860's room and the forest itself is broken, I've tried setting the textures as best as I can, 1499 is weird looking, the video shows that, and Gate B is partially lit same with the electrical centre, and heavy to entrance.

all other rooms will be unlit, keep that in mind

And let me know if you're able to get it working on your AMD GPU, I'd love to hear about it

I also updated the typo of "GTX" folder in the google drive link to "GFX" so my SCP-173 model should automatically work using that process of installing

The google drive link has also now been updated to the current version of the mod; I even tested it on my secondary PC with a fresh install of Windows and It works like a charm

That's all I need to say about that for now

[formal sierra]

ah sorry i didn't get any pings until you reacted lol

[blissful pilot]

It's alright, I had to get all these messages and files set up so that worked out

[formal sierra]

yup :)

i gotta wait for my slow ass wi-fi to download the files lol

nvm

[blissful pilot]

Yeah thats been my wifi all night too lol

shaw went down in my area

[formal sierra]

i use CenturyLink 😭

it goes down every day for at least 10 minutes

[formal sierra]

alr i just put everything in; wish me luck 🙏

https://i.imgur.com/JB0tRx7.png

[formal sierra]

https://i.imgur.com/RAezB4T.png

i call it SCP - Containment Breach: Heaven Edition

please clap

i'll see if i can get it working somehow but it doesn't seem very promising

[blissful pilot]

Its futher than I thought it would be

rtx.conf file is in too right?

[formal sierra]

yup

[blissful pilot]

huh interesting

[formal sierra]

turning off ray tracing makes the game look normal but its locked at 30 FPS i think

https://i.imgur.com/nCOIsId.png

i'll do a full playthrough of Heaven Edition

[blissful pilot]

theres a couple of 2x2 black textures inside the "game setup" menu in the developer menu, setting those to either UI or more often Lightmap textures can help

you can also try playing around with setting textures in that menu that seem weird or off to those two settings, see if it helps; it might be differnt for AMD I'm not too sure

[formal sierra]

yeah i think it

is

made no difference

some strange cool stuff

[blissful pilot]

yeah thats how the base game looks normally, that first image

[formal sierra]

yup

just weird that the cell block looks the same in both

if u noclip closer it turns into the pearly gates of heaven as well tho

[blissful pilot]

take a look at the door

the metal door for class d

is it the exact same as the base game? or does it have the higher resolution one?

i suppose the tiles are also a good place to check for that

[formal sierra]

hm

im not really sure tbh

i think it might look better

the 173 model is also your beautiful one

[blissful pilot]

you could also try in console "teleport room2sroom"

take a look at the larry photograph in the head office

[formal sierra]

https://i.imgur.com/ql5hPI1.jpeg

[blissful pilot]

if its the old one it means the new textures didn't load at all, if the new textures did, then it did something perhaps

[formal sierra]

wait oh this might be cause im in borderless nvm

[blissful pilot]

Oh 100%

[formal sierra]

give me a minute

[blissful pilot]

forgot about that

yeah fullscreen i think is the only thing that works right now

if memory serves me right

thats odd though, for us it normally crashes withing a few minutes of launching the game on borderless

[formal sierra]

https://i.imgur.com/g8N4WoZ.png

im pretty sure this is why i went to borderless

[blissful pilot]

yeah try running it a couple times, if after 16-20 attempts it doesn't work.. then it may be a bigger issue

[formal sierra]

https://i.imgur.com/k7SYKXJ.png

alr

[blissful pilot]

that error is common and happens from time to time

[formal sierra]

at 1080p?

[blissful pilot]

try 1080p or 1440p

those are the two we continously try

[formal sierra]

alr

ok so some more weird behavior lol

disabling the launcher via options.ini lets you launch into the game perfectly fine but any alt + tab instantly crashes it

[blissful pilot]

huh odd

what GPU do you have too

forgot to ask

[blissful pilot]

also did the game look any different from the pearly gates?

https://tenor.com/view/travolta-heaven-wasted-dead-gif-15674999998808680939

[formal sierra]

not sure

HAHA

it crashed while i was loading in

[formal sierra]

an AMD radeon 6600

even if it does work i doubt it would very well LOL

[blissful pilot]

you can also play around with developer settings, ultra preformance can help, you can also turn ray tracing off until the game actually loads in and then turn it back on to help if its crashing during that 45% loading

[formal sierra]

yeah

ok well it may have actually worked in fullscreen with the ray tracing

idk i just reenabled it in the intro and froze

i think it crashed 😭

[blissful pilot]

also try it without turning ray tracing off if you havent already

[formal sierra]

can't since i get a driver timeout from AMD

[blissful pilot]

I don't know AMD too too well, so I don't know if thats old or bad but I'm just making a note of it for future debugging

[formal sierra]

yeah its a really budget piece of hardware

[blissful pilot]

uhh oh

[formal sierra]

really decent for 1080p gaming but not for really anything else

the coil whine is killing me 😭

AND FOR SOME REASON ALL MY TEXT IS PIXELATED

[blissful pilot]

I've tried the mod on a ARM 4050 on my laptop, my RTX 4070 Ti on my main PC, and a budget 4060 on my fiance's PC

[formal sierra]

sorry not in the game

like in explorer

[blissful pilot]

oh that's very weird

[formal sierra]

which ones did it work on?

[blissful pilot]

all of them

granted, they're 40 series RTX cards

[formal sierra]

yeah those run great lol

[blissful pilot]

some of the other guys have got it working on 30 series cards, and I have a brother that has a 2070, I eventually want to visit him and see if it gets running on that

[formal sierra]

i might try it on my sisters but i doubt there would be much of a difference

it has a 6500 instead

[blissful pilot]

may be forced resolution or something, also In ray tracing, the RX 6600 is only slightly slower than the RTX 3050 at 1080p

so that's about where it is compared to RTX cards

[formal sierra]

honestly thought it would be worse lol

[blissful pilot]

so when I get a chance, trying it on that 2070 might not be a bad idea

might learn some stuff for running on older cards

[formal sierra]

IM IN

https://i.imgur.com/nbGzIIX.jpeg

[formal sierra]

yeah you possibly could

[blissful pilot]

woo hoo, no ray tracing though huh?

[formal sierra]

nah it crashed before it could apply i guess lol

im gonna try again i just had to reload since the paper was gone

[blissful pilot]

darn, well; I hope you get it working

you can probably understand why I deemed it "unplayable" in it's current state

its a ways away from an offical release

but.. I'm confident well get there at some point

[formal sierra]

well it may be unplayable but this is the most fun i've had "playing" CB LOL

i fucking love modding

[blissful pilot]

it's definitely pretty nifty, pain in the ass to do: but rewarding once it's done

especially with Blitz3D

[formal sierra]

thats for sure

wait shut up you're gonna crash my game

you have to wait i just heard the audio come back after toggling raytracing lol

[blissful pilot]

Its alright I'm just getting ready for bed, so take your time

[formal sierra]

nevermind it crashed haha

even hopes and dreams couldn't make it work

bro 😭

everytime

i just don't think its gonna work

i turned down everything to the very lowest that sounded like it could possibly help my potato and it still freezes

maybe its my drivers or somethig but im tired af so im gonna head to bed

[blissful pilot]

You could try updating those if you haven’t, but it also just might be the hardware

I’m always looking for older hardware to try the mod on though, so it was still neat to hear your feedback and experience with it

[formal sierra]

actually i was thinking of downgrading my drivers instead

since this latest update freezes my PC a lot

[formal sierra]

and yeah, no problem! it was fun

gn :)

[blissful pilot]

Have a good night lol

[vague spindle]

:\

[formal sierra]

?

[vague spindle]

nothing

[blissful pilot]

finally on my computer first time today

the seach for the lamp must go on

Although on a side note, I did realize something

even if the mesh thingy I want to try works for shadows disapearing when lamps are culled out; it will not work for light appearing past doors when doors are culled out

such as the cell door at the intro

[blissful pilot]

I found a perfect pixel for pixel match of the letters of the logo of the ending screen

It's this modified version of the rust stock image we found earlier

It matches with a portion of the background too, which If memory serves me right, I think that was the last piece of the background we needed

so all thats left is sourcing the original image for the blood, and then we can reconstruct the ending screen and remaster it

[blissful pilot]

But yeah its a perfect match, when the blood turns blue but the lettering turns completely black, that means it matches pixel for pixel

The "C" and "O" looks to be cut off though, so theres probably another section of it used there that I'm trying to find

[formal sierra]

DAMN

nice job bro :)

[blissful pilot]

Now this image only exists in 1936 x 1288, I'm tempted to AI upscale it before making any adjustments or fitting it to fit the logo, because those AI artifacts if any present shouldn't be noticeable if done to the original

given that it's the logo of the game, I'm going as big as I can just in case, without losing quality in mind as well

[formal sierra]

oh yeah, what do you use to upscale?

topaz gigapixel is good but i wanna know if theres anything else that would be better

like it does some good, like the 294 panel

like it does some good, like the 294 panel

but others, im not really sure

[blissful pilot]

Which version are you using of topaz gigapixel?

[formal sierra]

8

[blissful pilot]

ah alrightr

which model?

[formal sierra]

well for most of these i believe i did Art & CG

the hand images (i think?) were High fidelity

[blissful pilot]

Standard-art & CG are very basic AI upscaling, they try to keep whatever data it had prior, which if it didn't have a lot ends up looking smudged, I find Recover and Redefine can actually work wonders because it reconstructs the image entirely, and you can play around with settings to get a better result, usually I'll do a recover and redefine version of the same image, and them layer them; erasing whichever parts look the best or accurate, sometimes ill mix and match the basic models with the generative models if those produce better results

doing it that way, you can get some pretty convincing stuff

here's some comparisions of what mixing the recover and redefine models looks like

[formal sierra]

hmm let me try those out

those look great btw

[blissful pilot]

Of course, I take it a step further, and also source the textures as you know; it produces what I think is the best possible result for having the exact same textures ingame

[formal sierra]

HOLY SHIT

im so dumb lol

last night i was skimming through the different models and skimmed over the giant text box labeled "Image description"

i was like "why isn't this doing anything"

[blissful pilot]

Oh, I didn't even know thats a thing

that might make these results even better then

[formal sierra]

idk it didn't look very good

[blissful pilot]

which model has the description?

[formal sierra]

redefine

[blissful pilot]

I'll give it a try once I'm done this batch

[formal sierra]

by the way, did you ever find the source texture for tilefloor?

[blissful pilot]

Not yet, really want to; there's just been other textures that take more of a priority

the face scans were really important because I'm basically done the class D model, just need to animate it, with that in mind as well; I also knew my 035 mask would come in and wanted to finish that as well

the shirts are the last piece to find and source, and then I can remaster the models for them

we did find the metal texture though

[formal sierra]

which metal texture?

[blissful pilot]

this one

[formal sierra]

oh nice

that one is everywhere too lol

[blissful pilot]

its also why I'm trying really hard to find the white wall texture

that one is used EVERYWHERE

[formal sierra]

maybe i'll help out lol

i swear that came with some application

by the way, have you asked any of the older devs (Regalis, Juan, etc) for these textures

im sure you already know these are from 087-b

[blissful pilot]

alright trying description now

[formal sierra]

yeah lmk if it works well

[blissful pilot]

yep

I used rubbing alcohol l to take the paint off the 035 mask and now my thumb is like.. numb.

its been like that for a couple days its weird

[formal sierra]

bro what 💀

i may not be an expert but i don't think thats good

it may perchance not be good

[blissful pilot]

I'll be alright, just feels weird

[fading fractal]

you likely just dried out the skin

[formal sierra]

oh probably lol

actually no its confirmed

you're going to die in 3 days (max)

[blissful pilot]

yeah the description is not very good on topaz

[blissful pilot]

also yeah, thats exactly what it feels like

[formal sierra]

btw, used your 173 model for the document redesigns im doing, and i think it looks great

oh wait whoops i forgot to enable the filter

[blissful pilot]

Ha that looks neat, little highly satrated but pretty neat

I've actually used it for that one photograph in the game too

[formal sierra]

?

like in your own document too?

[blissful pilot]

here

[formal sierra]

OH THAT ONE lol

i was trying to upscale that one earlier

[blissful pilot]

I'm about half way done remastering that

I found the original image

[formal sierra]

oh was it on the site that was listed below?

crazy frankenstein

[blissful pilot]

I actually think it looks better than the one that was already in the game

the perspective matches better, and my 173 isn't squished like it is here

[formal sierra]

yeah not sure why they stretched it out lol

could've just changed the model width

[blissful pilot]

it was 2012 who knows

could've just been that photoshop wasnt user friendly or as much as it is now

[formal sierra]

oh that could be it

or like cutting corners idk

the document .psd has white backgrounds on the logos for some reason too lol

i guess it doesn't really matter since you'd never even see

[blissful pilot]

My computer is really going brrrrr

https://tenor.com/view/overheat-computer-explosion-boom-spark-gif-17323916

[formal sierra]

you should hear mine everytime it even tries to switch Basic Models lol

i don't even need my wired headphones on to hear the coil whine

or moving the viewport in Blender 😂

[blissful pilot]

Mines a beast, but even RTX remix at 4K or Topaz AI can push it to its limits

Heats up my room like crazy

[blissful pilot]

I think this one actually turned out pretty good with the upscale

I played around with it for a bit

its not perfect, but once again; this is only the original image, its going to be modified and probably resized and what not

it should look great

and I'm going to do it in photoshop to preserve the layers as best as I can

[blissful pilot]

that took forever

finally lined up the AI upscale in a PSD

to the best I could

so now, I can slowly start reconstructing over time, and when we find the blood texture we can add that in

its really nice too, because it preserves the image layers and their original assets in a PSD, it separates the layers needed to create the logo, and its in a PSD file that is 8192x8192 or 8K resolution

it may not ever be used in 8K, but it's nice to have

we could finish the game on an IMAX, and the ending screen would look crisp lmao

[formal sierra]

damn that looks great

just make every texture 8K

what if i DO wanna play it in a movie theater 😭

[blissful pilot]

You can't really,

I've played around with 8K in the past and one word to describe it is impractical

the only reason its practical here is as a PSD project file that can be transformed into any medium as needed

I've tried making shots in blender 8K, its very difficult to do, and probably a single digit percentage of people have a display that can actaully display it

[formal sierra]

yeah ik i was just kidding lol

i remember i think like one of the first times i used Blender i tried rendering in 12K with a triple digit AMD card lol

well "used" isn't exactly the right word

by the way, unrelated but im working on remastering all the documents but i can't seem to find the brush that was used for the highlights

i don't know if you're doing anything with the documents but if you know could you please lmk

i don't wanna keep reusing the same highlight element lol

[formal sierra]

@blissful pilot sorry to ping you but i need a second opinion

idk if the message at the bottom is too like

idk just cheesy i guess

[blissful pilot]

for me personally, it's a little cheesy

I actually really like the subtle eeriness that comes with SCPs like 035, some depictions have of 035 have him looking really menacingly, but CB has this look to him where, if you didn't know better he could just be a scientist that needs help; but there's something about him that just seems... off.

[formal sierra]

ikr

SCP-035 might be one of my favorite Series 1 SCPs

its one of those classics that everyone knows about but is just really unique

[blissful pilot]

I've been an SCP fan for a long time, and I can tell you about 99% of SCPs are like that its not "SCP = the bad guys" or "SCP = evil" its like... SCPs are just creepy enigmatic objects and entities.

[formal sierra]

for how long?

also yeah i agree

i see a lot of new SCP fans (especially ones coming from the various games) not understand that part

[blissful pilot]

I actually can't remember where I came from, whether its the wikis or the game, but I remember loving both for their own reasons from the very start, I remember getting into it probably... mid 2013 I wanna say? maybe late 2012 at the earliest like December 2012 is when I first readup/heard of it

I've never prefered the wikis or CB over the other in other words

[formal sierra]

damn that is a long time lol

[blissful pilot]

not as long as others who have been on the wiki longer but yeah, long time

[formal sierra]

comparatively i got in way later, in 2018

[blissful pilot]

I started my youtube channel in 2014, so pretty long ago

[blissful pilot]

2017 is actually when I purchased my SCP-049 mask

This one

which I eventually photoscanned far in the future after that

[formal sierra]

oh that looks fucking sick

[blissful pilot]

but I've owned it for many years

[formal sierra]

and the textures

top notch

idk how i even got introduced to SCP ngl

happy i did though

its one of my favorite (collaborative) writing projects ever

[blissful pilot]

Its definitely been a great thing in my life, thats for sure

[formal sierra]

same :)

actually; it might've been CB that introduced me lol

too bad i didn't join sooner though i would've loved to play through each update of the game as it came out

[blissful pilot]

It was very jank

but looking back, kinda nostalgic

I remember when the class D had bootmarks on their faces

[stark lotus]

lol i remember that too

my 5 year old brain used to think they were robots

[blissful pilot]

haha like bio-robots

They always looked like crash dummies to me

[stark lotus]

i remember listening to Glenn Leroi's SCP songs

[blissful pilot]

Yeah I feel guilty for liking those

I've actually talked with the dude too

and of course its impossible to hear it, but my voice is in the NTF song

because it was a bunch of peoples voices put together

[stark lotus]

that's so badass

glenn leroi was the first artist i "liked" but I was 5 so i liked anything SCP related

[blissful pilot]

It's kinda crazy, I've been in contact with so many SCP related folk theres still a few I havent but

like Regalis or Batesee

I've had Batesee comment on my work indirectly

[stark lotus]

i remember when my pool of favourite youtubers were mostly SCP youtubers

damn i really liked SCP as a kid i guess lmao

[blissful pilot]

Yeah it was after I made the 173 model

I really wanted him to comment on it, because Volgun and Battleforge already did

having that trio comment on it would be awesome but he never did

[blissful pilot]

same

I really liked just.. horror as a kid

indie horror especially

something so novel about it compared to regurgitated big company horror games/movies

[vague spindle]

what 173 model?

[formal sierra]

oh my god batesee

i fucking love that guy

i still remember the first video i ever watched from him and it was this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqEdvHuzBuI

[formal sierra]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz2FhoYGs-c

[vague spindle]

alright

[formal sierra]

speaking of which, looks absolutely great in CB

https://i.imgur.com/0qyCEz4.jpeg

[formal sierra]

sometimes its crazy how much upscaling makes a difference

[blissful pilot]

That actually does look pretty good

[formal sierra]

yeah the only sort of strange thing is the inner section

it looks a bit out of place idk

[blissful pilot]

Alright guys

its been a very [DATA EXPUNGED] week

but finally, Vain Brain said something, he hasn't given me any sources or assets, but he said he's going to do a deep search through his hard drive for PSDs for us on Friday, he's just been very busy with work

its better than nothing, its the first time he's messaged me directly, so im optomistic with that

It's been the biggest pain in the butt though, I've talked with many people regarding the typeface used in the ending screen and a lot of people have said its "Deko Black Serial" or "Futura Black" but both of those don't line up and have differences to the logo

I'm also still searching for this asset as well as the blood

finding those, I can remaster the logo to 8K, but until then; I'm going to put that on hold; perhaps that's where Vain Brain can help, who knows, he might have the Original PSD

ALSO super important

I learned recently that discord actually does a small bit of compression here with images and such, It shouldn't be too much of an issue because I've sent links and documented everything, but that being said if there's ANY asset that we discussed here that you need, and need in full quality lemme know and I can find ways to send them

for just sharing progress and showing stuff it doesn't make too much of a difference but if its being used to remake or remaster stuff, its important there

[formal sierra]

who gave you the multiplayer reborn menu .psd?

also damn this is crazy work

nice job

[blissful pilot]

Guy named itzslain apparently he worked on that mod

And incase any of you want it

[formal sierra]

oh them?

also thanks i might need this

[blissful pilot]

Also

I'm like 99% sure this is the exact font used in SCP:CB

I always knew it was some kind of form of ITC Bauhaus; but this specific one matches almost perfectly, if not perfectly

This is the best I could recreate it, again; still missing that second font

This is the best I can do with recreating it so far, very very very close; but slight key differences to iron out

This is how different the two are, solid Black means it matches up pixel for pixel

Comparison video

[formal sierra]

wow it looks naked without the blood lol

[blissful pilot]

Without the grunge texture too

[formal sierra]

oh yeah that too lol

[blissful pilot]

This is overlayed over top

[formal sierra]

with what

multiply?

[blissful pilot]

yep

plus the scan lines

there looks to be another grunge texture overlapped as well, but its nearly impossible to find out how its rotated without this part

Which is also why I'm hoping Vain Brain sends me the PSD 🙏

[formal sierra]

tomorrow right?

[blissful pilot]

yep

[formal sierra]

also damn bro you are dedicated lol

i woulda left it how it is and called it a day

[blissful pilot]

I''m determined

I've also always been somewhat of a perfectionist

[formal sierra]

🤷‍♂️

if you get it exactly matching that would be impressive lol

[blissful pilot]

thats the idea, except in 8K

then I'll release it for anyone to use

you could change SCP into "LOL" or something else

create anything and everything with it

[formal sierra]

hell yeah

btw, i know discord compresses images, but does it compress any other file types too?

idk if thats possible but

like would a .psd for example lose some sort of detail or would it all still be there

[blissful pilot]

PSD probably not, but video formats I imagine yes

Apparently Yes, PSD files are compressed when uploaded to discord, which is very strange

maybe that means .zip files are the best way to go about it

[formal sierra]

oh cool thanks

[fading fractal]

if you want files to remain identical to the original, zip it before uploading

[formal sierra]

yeah i'll keep that in mind

thanks :)

[blissful pilot]

Alright, this unfortunately is the last place for me to mention this but I want to regardless

I FOUND IT

SCp-079's original source image used for his avatar ingame

Dated 2008

https://www.deviantart.com/lensha/art/Empty-Face-82856968

[formal sierra]

BRO

[blissful pilot]

For comparision here is his 0.1 version

with it inverted too

[formal sierra]

how do you find these 😭

[stark lotus]

oh hell yeah

that's awesome

[blissful pilot]

like people have been looking for this one for what? 7 years, I think even Vain Brain mentioned at one point it was a wooden mask but he didn't have the original with him

so this is a CRAZY find

[blissful pilot]

I was searching for the other boot screen I think I searched for "079 loading screen commodore 64 deviant art" or something along the lines of, and managed to find it
found it completely accidentally

I was actually looking for 079's boot screen from the loading screen and then I managed to find it

[formal sierra]

🔥

[blissful pilot]

Another exciting thing that happened last night that was overshadowed by the 079 find is someone was actually able to identify and link me the font used for the "CONTAINMENT BREACH" part of the logos, so we can now make our own when it comes time, this one I made here is really ugly, but if you have any ideas about that lemme now and I can make em

Here's also the typeface and the PSD for the menu

incase you want to play around with it

[formal sierra]

bro it was Excess? 😭

i had that in my fonts for a while but didn't know that was it

also thank you :)

[blissful pilot]

I’m not sure if it’s a specific type of Excess, because some versions of the same Typeface can vary, but that one I sent is 1:1

[blissful pilot]

Also I never explained this, but even Vain Brain had lost that source image for 079, so yeah; absolutely crazy find last night

Probably one of the greatest image sources we’ve done so far

If not the greatest thus far

[oak dirge]

Now we need the wall

[blissful pilot]

Yeah Vain Brain messaged about that too

Said that one has been here a long time, probably Regalis doesn’t know where it comes from, it’s in a lot of texture packs

[oak dirge]

Wouldn't mind just switching it up the wall

Would be sick to model out bolts for the metal studs with a pom

Speaking of that

1162 being an actual hole

At this point I'm waiting for a toolkit update so I can use it

[blissful pilot]

I actually want to try that

Speaking of which

I was able to find a photoshopped picture of an Apple with the exact same hole dated from 2008

But that’s all I could find for sourcing that hole so far

Wow

Never mind

I spoke too soon

I was able to source it in a couple of minutes

SRC

Dated: June 13th 2008

Resolution is 3072 x 2304, looks like the source

[oak dirge]

Just use the hole as a alpha cutout or whatever

[blissful pilot]

I’ll try to make a mesh for it

Unless I can do some nifty displacement or normal textures for it

But I’m just glad I found the original image

[oak dirge]

Looks good just really compressed by discord

[blissful pilot]

I forgot to send this I think, but heres a google drive link with some more source textures, I think a portion of them were still found by @stark lotus but theres a little more here, all done by the same artist that does it

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1oNZducJlFxTbIaLKsPWMEOeMaRtLDl15

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1N-r5t3Ekz1HC1CyAi4esHima-JAWqX3Z

[stark lotus]

nice

i've already got both from the original download on PhilipK's site lol

im not sure if there are any more textures that are sourced from these except for misc.jpeg, which I have already recreated somewhere

[blissful pilot]

OH nice

do you have the link for the site?

if not .zip folders would be the best to avoid compression

theres some for the metal panels and a few others

[stark lotus]

Yeah, they're at https://www.philipk.net/ (scroll to the very bottom)

he's also got one other collection called ANCIENT COLLECTION. I'm not sure if any of them were used of SCP:CB or not but I doubt it

i'll send my recreation of misc.jpg too

[blissful pilot]

whats the difference between source and tga versions?

Also, this is semi important today, but I want to finalize the logo if we can, I'm going to play around with a couple things and try to make something that loos really neat

I don't know If I told you guys

but I found the origin image for 079's face avatar

as well as the location of it

its a statue in a park in the Czech Republic

[stark lotus]

source files are the VTFs and VMTs, basically the type of texture/material formats used for Valve's Source engine.

[blissful pilot]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SCP/comments/1jy3sat/update_found_the_location_of_scp079s_avatar/

[blissful pilot]

ah. so literally, like source

[stark lotus]

yeah lol

i thought it meant source as in higher quality versions or something, but it's just for source engine mappers i guess

[blissful pilot]

same

[stark lotus]

here's the diffuse, normal, spec and emissive textures for misc.jpg

[blissful pilot]

Yeah Its pretty neat, I don't know if I emphasised this, but even Vain Brain DMed me about it

he had lost the original source image for 079's face and couldn't find it

and hes one of the OG developers of the game

[blissful pilot]

the remastered ones?

what resolutions are they?

[stark lotus]

that's really awesome

[stark lotus]

512x512

[blissful pilot]

right?

[stark lotus]

but the ingame texture has some poor jpeg bisnitch going on that makes it low quality, so its an improvement nonetheless

[blissful pilot]

so wait

the remasterd is 512x512

[stark lotus]

also, I think the ingame texture was prerendered using these maps instead of the devs just using the diffuse

[blissful pilot]

do you have the PSD you made it is?

[stark lotus]

i don't believe so, no. I think I made it in paint.net before I had Photoshop

[blissful pilot]

ah

do you still have that pdn file by any means?

if not thats alright

[stark lotus]

sure do

and these ones

but take a look here; a comparison between misc.jpg and the diffuse texture
https://imgsli.com/MzcwNDc4

they kind of baked the lighting info into the diffuse

[blissful pilot]

also im not sure why

but the links on his website doesnt do anything

[stark lotus]

which links?

the downloads?

[blissful pilot]

yea

the TGA or source ones

the hyperlinks

[stark lotus]

seems to work for me

[blissful pilot]

would you mind .zipping them for me if I cant get this working

I'm trying to also archive the stuff we find

I've done like 95% of it, but a couple such as these textures I have not

also, I remastered the dirtymetal texture

but I want to try it again in photoshop

i also did that in paint.net

[stark lotus]

here's the scifi collections + ancient collection if you want it
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Mtd4Y3S9FRzK-BZhA31kPcDT4Q29eNIG/view?usp=sharing

comes with the source versions and tga versions

[blissful pilot]

Alrighty thanks

my plan today is to do some promotional stuff to get more people knowing about the RTX remaster

tomorrow is the 13th anniversary of the game, so I want to do something even something small like an announcement on my channel that I'm working on a remaster with you guys

that way, as well; I can push updates from time to time showing things we add or do for the remaster

so the first thing I want to do inregards to that, is finish the endingscreen.psd and create a logo for the remaster going forward

So through the day I'll likely share different versions and ask for you're guy's opinion on certain choices

[stark lotus]

Sounds good. Not sure how much you'll hear from me in the next few hours considering it's currently 12:06 AM where I live lol

[blissful pilot]

christ my dude lol

well, keep in mind as well, anniversary is tomorrow, so I'll only be asking for opinions on logo changes, so if you message before the end of tomorrow, the changes can still be made

most of what I'm making is just a teaser for the game showcasing rooms

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faGr7dCYDQg

very simular to this

just the real deal

it also means I'm going to light a bunch of rooms

so if you have any room suggestions, lemme know

Gate A I want to do regardless

[stark lotus]

coffin room (i forgot the scp) could be cool for the vid

[blissful pilot]

The room? or the monitor?

I suppose the monitor would be tough to do considering..

I'm assuming like the shot in the trailer then

https://youtu.be/HYXzA_UQpp0?si=qL6VEjHtWnz5Hskb&t=64

like here

theres a timestamp

Actually yeah, I see it; that would look pretty dope with ray tracing

because the coffins shadow, and the light bleed from the doorway

[stark lotus]

I was thinking either that shot of the coffin hallway or an angle pointing upwards in the staircase or something, if the lighting is right it could show nice small shadows on the wall texture if they have nice normal maps

[blissful pilot]

ooh

Yeah I'll light it first, and then see what looks the best or coolest

[blissful pilot]

I actually might complete it today

like complete it

the 8K Photoshop file of the ending screen, and thus; the remastered endingscreen texture

I've already done the text, grunge texture with a 99% accuracy for alignment, and the white background is a good 93% if I had to guess

still pretty good

[oak dirge]

Definitely need some glass in the trailer

[blissful pilot]

I'm just trying to AI upscale the blood, but If i can do that, or find the original texture, it'll be nearly perfect

[blissful pilot]

yee

I was actually thinking either 372 or Cafeteria for that

or both!

[oak dirge]

If you have emissives for the server racks that would be a cool room. Was wondering if you could do spritesheets for blinking lights too

[blissful pilot]

By the way

light sprites arent culled out

not sure if that will be useful but

I noticed that while casually playing vanilla on my steam deck last night

[oak dirge]

Maybe if they are tied to something in a capture but I don’t think they are

[blissful pilot]

nah, still aren't captured in RTX capturs

but its neat

Also seeing the ending screen in 4K is just..

its surreal

its so unbelievably cool

when its finished, If any of you guys have 4K monitors; I insist

[oak dirge]

Probably gonna play the shit out of the game in RTX once playable.
I have 2K QD-OLED.

[blissful pilot]

2k like 1440p? or

I have a 4k oled

[oak dirge]

Yes

[blissful pilot]

or I guess it would technically be UHD

3840x2160

[oak dirge]

Oled is gonna die soon anyway

New panel type

[blissful pilot]

4k would be 4096x2160, technically widescreen only really used in theaters

[blissful pilot]

is it microLED?

or something else?

[fading fractal]

wouldn't say soon. usually takes quite a while for manufacturing to be up to par & for the tech to mature

[blissful pilot]

true true that

[fading fractal]

but definitely within the next 10 years

[blissful pilot]

I still really love my OLED

[fading fractal]

me too

[oak dirge]

it’s like d-led or something.
Relatively soon probably within 2 years considering how fast it’s come up in development.

[blissful pilot]

OLED and 4K is like.. literally perfection

especially QD-OLED

[fading fractal]

QDEL

[oak dirge]

That

[fading fractal]

There's a lot of discussion of late on the nature of QDEL technology, otherwise known as Nano-LED displays (or even QD-EL, as others call it). That's largely due to the fact that several TV manufacturers are working on strategies to advance this type of display into production within the next several years.

it'll be quite a while before it gains marketshare

[blissful pilot]

oh nice, Quantum dot

thats probably a really good thing

[oak dirge]

I just saw it matured a lot at CES2025 compared to last showing

[fading fractal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2zgC2A0ehU

[oak dirge]

And it’s a lot cheaper to produce.

[blissful pilot]

I'll be honest though

I don't think its going to be cheaper even with that fact

if its better, and cheaper to produce, theres a higher demand than OLED

[oak dirge]

Plus longevity

[fading fractal]

it will be cheaper than OLED most likely after a year or two of being around, but still significantly more expensive than IPS and such

[blissful pilot]

if its cheaper than OLED, I'll be happy

regardless of the price specifically

Anyway I’d be lighting rooms nonstop if it wasn’t for toolkit not working. On top of the captures. I miss composer.

Not being able to live edit textures makes things even more of a pain too.

[blissful pilot]

I unfortunately never got to experience it

[oak dirge]

It’s basically toolkit without the bugs

I’m pretty sure toolkit is built off the program

I’m at a loss at why it’s broken for me though I actually went through my files and nuked all traces of toolkit and remix in an attempt to fix.

[blissful pilot]

short video, just showing off what I have

lemme know if you prefer the harsh scanlines or blurred scanlines

[oak dirge]

Harsh really sells the 8k vibe lol

[blissful pilot]

true that

might look screwy on other resolutions though

if you watch the video without going fullscreen youll see what I mean

[blissful pilot]

I think I found the final piece

besides the blood

I found the last grunge layout for the ending screen

it makes the matchup almost pixel for pixel

[stark lotus]

That looks amazing, great job on the recreation!

[blissful pilot]

its all non-destructive too

you can edit any part of it, including the logo

I'm going to make a native resolution one though because

I may have a super computer, but not everyone does

[blissful pilot]

Its officially midnight where I am so
Here's some wholesome ones

[vague spindle]

where's the files

would be fun

[blissful pilot]

I can send them, however I have to warn you

[blissful pilot]

they may not run on your PC

they're huge, and preformance heavy

like on average it takes up 3-8GB of my RAM

but here's the Google Drive link if you want

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BZJkh-Rf4NO2u9ZUn6N_arouyLyxeFVN?usp=drive_link

also I know I'm not super active here, but I am still doing tons of work on sourcing and stuff

I just found the head image for Benjamin walker

https://pixabay.com/photos/man-male-portrait-coach-838636/

someone said it could be found by searching "Henry Carver" but I don't think its a guy named Henry Carver, its just named Male Portrait, I'm guessing when they made it they literally googled "male portrait" and picked one lol

still looking for the face though

[formal sierra]

ty :)

the coil whine from my GPU can be even louder now

[blissful pilot]

You can make some really funny stuff with it

[formal sierra]

🔥

you have one for this lol?

if not i'll make one rq

[blissful pilot]

yes

[formal sierra]

oh lol

[blissful pilot]

I actually made this one first

[formal sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/nft-nft-owners-save-image-as-right-click-based-gif-23703985

thanks lol

[blissful pilot]

I think this is it

I think its good, just gotta clean it up and put it in the game

lemme know what you think

gotta add the streaks but

thats the mask

[formal sierra]

wow

thats all i think

perfect

how many vertices?

it is a scan right

[blissful pilot]

right now, tons

hense the need for retypology

[formal sierra]

yeah for sure

on average when you do a photoscan of an object how many vertices does it end up with usually

[blissful pilot]

um it varies, based off my work flow where I export as much data as I can a Raw photoscan in this case can be a lot of vertices, for this one. original photoscan, table it was scanned on and all; ~700K

[formal sierra]

GODDAMN

[blissful pilot]

it comes out with a LOT of details though

then I just remesh and optomize

[formal sierra]

nah don't worry im sure it doesn't need optimization

totally absolutely sure

can you even like render with that many lol

[blissful pilot]

I have a really good PC

[blissful pilot]

check this out

[formal sierra]

wtf

i imagine my PC won't be doing very *when i get to opening the .psd lol

it somehow crashed rendering my Blender donut

[blissful pilot]

I'm thinking 500 for the mask

its 300-500

I think thats the best middle ground, more than what was originally in SCP:CB, but enough to carry some pretty good detail

lemme see if I can bring that number down even more though

through my own manual methods

I should say, 300-500 polygons

not verticies, to clearifiy

[formal sierra]

wooooo

[blissful pilot]

darn

so my estimate was a bit off

so far, 613 is the lowest polygon count I can get down to, with it still looking googd

I've gotten to half of that but

oh nvm I dont got it anymore lol

it didn't look good anyways

but heres the one with 613 triangle count

alternatively, I have some better looking results with higher polygon counts, one of them was like 900, but this is the lowest I can go

[blissful pilot]

This is the same animation, but with the 933 Polygon model

I honestly really like the 933 polygon model better

those ~320 polygons actually make it look way better

[blissful pilot]

This is the final streak pattern I settled on

I think its on point

and

it shares a simular UV to the previous OG mask model

meaning

You can actually use the old model with this new texture if you wanted

or vice versa, which would use this modified one

[formal sierra]

looks great

and yeah I think the 613 polygon looks a lot worse

[blissful pilot]

This is the final result

I made it a little more redshifted to better match the original, I think it sells it really well

worst case scenario, if the white looks better with ray-tracing, I have both and can swap em out

gonna relight the room and then try it ingame

Direct Comparison

[formal sierra]

holy shit

this looks amazing lol

even the sludge shit looks better

[blissful pilot]

you should see it in game

I don't know how, but it both looks the same as it did, I almost didn't think I had a new model, and at the same time, it was even creepier looking

[formal sierra]

i love it bro

nice job on it

[blissful pilot]

that took a while to edit, jeez.

This is the full showcase, includes gameplay footage

[pure marsh]

wait how are lights stable now

[blissful pilot]

Wdym?

[pure marsh]

i thought the game was too unstable to attach any proper lights

[blissful pilot]

🤷‍♀️ I’ve been doing it this whole time

I just make sure to parent them to the hash of the room itself rather than a mesh or object in the hash, that way the lights aren’t culled out when those meshes are culled out

The room doesn’t get culled out until you’re 2-3 rooms away, so it works fairly well

[blissful pilot]

Alright team

been a while

but I have been making some progress

I've actually spent a couple days just troubleshooting blitz3d, but heres some actual progress I've made otherwise
