what energy transformation is it?

mechanical-electrical energy transformation

what about for regular motor?

  1. Explain how an electrical charge can make a personโ€™s hair be attracted to a piece of clothing when the clothing is removed.

this is friction right?

#

static electricity?

woeful cove

yes

ok

warm bloom

electric motors are honestly impressive

The charges in the hair and clothing become oppositely polarised, making them attract each other.

weird question: do any of you listen asmr? it reduce my want of smashing-the-pc each time my project crashed

Kinda wonder whether it will be used for consoles.

#

Oh no, its all over for UE5

cursive crypt
#

Nah, UE has more bugs

magic palm
#

Yeah, its pretty much that.. they do some fun stuff to make it learn better completions (you see it a lot in transformer architectures). To be honest, these LLM's are powerful because they have a long set of tokens when they're learning during distributed training (token is just an id value for a word or word fragment). You can test it by training your own model and using only say 6 tokens with the same architecture and see how much dumber it is ๐Ÿ™‚

#

There's open source LLM's now though at least. Weirdly Meta announced an open source model called LLama, but its only OS for research and non commercial, which is pointless. Bloom is proper open source if I recall.

#

shit so i shouldn't of given it my social security number?!

fluid bloom
#

social security numbers aren't supposed to be a secret though

proud jay
#

clearly you overestimate the US government security

fluid bloom
#

yea it's sad that some places use the ID as a way to authorize stuff

#

thankfully in Finland I don't think that's the case anymore (or ever has been)

proud jay
#

we use ID, but you literally need the physical ID

#

not just a number

fluid bloom
#

we use bank based authorization ๐Ÿ˜…

#

it just evolved into that over time

#

because banks are required to know their customers (by law) and it is in their own interest too

#

and then the bank auth systems evolved into auth services other services could use to verify if someone was whoever they're claiming to be

proud jay
#

we can also use bank card most of the time

#

we also have a government app that you need to set up once with your phone number and either ID or bank card

#

and then you can use that app for official stuff

I sort of have 10 years of technical writing expertise, too bad it isn't remote lol

huh, they aren't hiring anyone for their Helsinki office?

#

Yeah, only office work, duh. What if you want to lie on the sofa at home?

proud jay
#

who wants to be a technical writer though

foggy path
#

lol

#

No idea how that payscale is calculated though, might be you need to be some kind of god to get the top end of the range

pearl elk
#

Isnt that interesting, my game dev streams on twitch got heaps more views than my gaming ones

proud jay
#

already bad enough

foggy path

#

Yeah not sure I'd want to do that in california lol

proud jay
#

but also no I would not be miserable for 40 hours a week for 180k

foggy path
#

lol

#

I don't mind writing, I think it's fun

pearl elk
#

Have you seen Epics documentation though ๐Ÿ˜›

proud jay
#

writing can be fine

#

but doing it day in and out gets boring quick I think

#

especially cause you're just translating things someone else made to 5th grader level

pearl elk
#

I bet the reason the pay is so high is to try to appeal to people from the movie industry in Cali

neon void

Vengeance I am

pearl elk
foggy path
#

That's part of any job though

pearl elk
#

True but this says you "own the animation documentation" which says to me if something goes south, youre the punching bag

foggy path
#

Yeah which is again literally part of the job when you have any kind of responsibility

#

You won't get paid 180k if you have zero responsibility for stuff

zinc matrix
neon void
#

yeah lmao

#

I think they're probably distant cousins

pearl elk
#

True but the way its stated already piles on stress which isnt a good way to start to me but aye, thats why I wouldnt take 180k

foggy path
#

Hard to say, a lot of positions talk about how you have ownership of something because it tells you you will have some say on that sorta stuff yourself instead of just having to do whatever

pearl elk
#

They want you to take ownership of your work which is fine but in my experience this is the type of language mangers use when they wanna punch down

#

Could just be a HR type post though using common language

zinc matrix
#

do you have advice for a good course focused on unreal materials?

foggy path
#

Tbh I don't really know how else would you phrase it lol

pearl elk
#

the golf course Ive found really helps if youre looking for inspiration for grass materials

soft night
#

then drive via hovergraft on golf course

zinc matrix
#

thanks for advice รน

pearl elk
#

So when things go well, they take credit, if things go bad then you own the documentation ๐Ÿ˜›

foggy path
#

lol

#

I think you may be reading too much into the specific words in it

#

A lot of people who write these things are... not exactly great writers

#

lol

pearl elk
#

How much of a disaster could documentation be anyways

#

Im guessing it mostly comes down to deadlines not content

foggy path
#

yeah

#

no one sane would just take the job based on what's in the post anyway, always want to make sure the working style etc. is good in the interview

pearl elk
#

Yeah Im totally not qualified for this job lol

#

I could do technical writing but not for animation

pearl elk
foggy path
#

Oh? Did they break something there too lol

pearl elk
#

Oh now they are working, thats odd

#

Maybe it was Opera

zinc matrix
#

if I find a good material course for unreal I tell you

#

How far one can go with unrealism in unreal?

zinc matrix
#

I saw very good anime things in unreal

pearl elk
zinc matrix
#

A guy uses SSS fresnel for more unrealism, I saw him on level80

soft night
zinc matrix
#

Hey I downloaded a resource available for unreal 4 and copy and paasted inside of a folder for an unreal 5 project, the material contained secret nodes that are not recognized

#

I suppose that the secret nodes were "material functions"

#

right?

pearl elk
#

theres no secrets

zinc matrix
#

the nodes were supposed to be containing various inputs and outputs but unreal 5 showed none of them and gave error

#

so I suppose that they were custom made functions from unreal 4

#

is it true?

#

then how can I replicate them if they are not even visible?

zinc matrix
#

so I basically have to download ue4 too

#

wow

#

I hope its free

pearl elk
#

Nah its paid DLC

#

You also need the gold logo bling chain to get it to work in multiscreen mode

You come across a website with a strange name, "This Person Does Not Exist." Your curiosity gets the best of you, and you click on the link. As the page loads, you see a single image on the screen. It's a photo of you, but it's distorted and twisted in an unnatural way.

You try to click away, but the website won't let you. You feel a chill run down your spine as you realize that the website has somehow captured your image and is using it for something sinister.

As you stare at the distorted image of yourself, you begin to feel as if something is watching you. The longer you look, the more you feel like you're being drawn into the photo. The image seems to be alive, pulsing and writhing in front of you.

does this sound interesting?

Its amazing reading about this astronomy stuff, Id not really kept up with it but these guys just keep on grinding. The star Betelgeuse ejected a huge dust wave large enough we saw the dimming from here in Oct of 2019

#

This star would be the size of our sun to the asteroid belt

#

You just kinda get this model of a solar system from ours stuck in your head bit like the basic atomic model, its not really something that crosses your mind that there are solar systems small enough that many could fit inside a single giant star

Also mine doesnโ€™t so that so maybe visit that section once and it might disappear?

zinc matrix
#

i tried to mark all as read, and muted all channels but its still there ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

weird, if i uncheck introductions channel it goes away, even though i dont have any unreads there

#

so, that was it. thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

stray orbit
#

Even some of the Godot developers told me, "Don't touch Godot for at least 2-3 years" ๐Ÿ˜„

#

It took me 6 years to learn it was a complete farce in 3D, and I'm ashamed it took me that long.

#

Still OK for 2D, but even then I don't think I'd touch 4.0.

#

I think if I cared about open source, MIT 3D engine... I'd embrace Wicked Engine. The guy actually knows what he's doing, it seems.

#

And Wicked Engine is being used as the basis for other engines; and it doesn't have all the PBR problems Godot does.

stray orbit
#

Also, someone I know, also another long time Godot user... recently, sent me two screenshots; one from one of their scenes in Godot 4.0 and one from a renderer they built in a few weeks following tutorials; their slapped together renderer made Godot's look bad. And I don't mean just a little bad, I mean real bad. Like, "I wouldn't touch this without a hazmat suit" level of bad. So, I'm glad other people are finally starting to see the light and open their eyes. ๐Ÿ™

warm bloom
#

similar to like luau or python

stray orbit
#

I have always said if 2D is your thang, Godot is prob your thang. If low spec is your thing, it's 3D will work for you... in a small game.

warm bloom
#

yeah I think that's what they're trying to target tbf

stray orbit
#

Nah, I've been on the inside of Godot long enough to know better... and Juan regularly boasts its 3D in comparison to UE5. At once point, he even tried to compare SDFGI to Lumen.

stray orbit
#

And SDFGI is half fo Godot's rendering problems... it causes really bad shadow/light artifacts when you enable it-- amplifying the problems Godot's renderer already has. And, it performs terribly. A whole game using Lumen ran better on my old PC than a single roomed game using SDFGI in Godot. ๐Ÿ˜›

warm bloom
stray orbit
#

There's many horror stories I could tell you about the internal dev of Godot, but alas... it's a long and sordid story. ๐Ÿ˜„

warm bloom
#

tbf it just sounds like the developer is a heretic

proud jay
#

clearly he has never read the dragonHell scripture

stray orbit
#

Pretty much; he's immune to good ideas... and criticism. It is an uphill battle for any fo the core developers to actually improve/fix the engine.

#

Juan, essentially, told Victor Blanco he didn't know what he was doing when Victor offered performance fixes for the engine (boosts of between 30-50% btw)

proud jay
#

from all I've read in this chat about the dude it really is a pain to develop on godot

#

what is the license like

#

could some dude just fork and make it a billion times better

stray orbit
#

Victor did it for "proof of concept" on improving Godot. Got chased out of the community, more or less by Juan.

#

He's not the only one either; it's happened to many other devs who had solid ideas for makign Godot a better engine.

fleet tangle
#

Oh is this the one where he's adamant that using some sort of "stable" and "good" structure is better than the perfectly fine fast one?

stray orbit
#

That's his excuse... but, personally, I believe it's more: If it didn't come from Juan's head, he's not interested. And that's the feel I've gotten from my friends who worked on Godot as core devs too. I could be wrong, but all the years I been there with the lack of real improvement; I wouldn't bet on it. ๐Ÿ˜›

#

Rimworld dev was also driven away, and his concerns disregarded by Juan... but that one isn't public.

#

But ye... took me 6 years to realize how bad things actually were, but alas... I finally made it to Unreal. ๐Ÿ˜„

warm bloom
#

I wonder what a modern engine would look like nowadays tbh

fleet tangle
#

UE?

proud jay
#

who thinks linked list is a good structure though

#

the use cases for it are quite limited

fleet tangle
#

It's good for what it's good for.

proud jay
#

but how do you get to it being your goto

stray orbit
#

If a new engine were to be built? Maybe something like Wicked? I haven't used it extensively... but it's one of the newest boys on the block.

#

Very capable from what I'm told.

warm bloom
#

there was that one interesting engine

#

that got removed due to copyright

#

cause it was too similar to a version they sold to some other company

proud jay
#

Bevy is also a new engine, haven't used it in any capacity though

stray orbit
#

I'm kind of interested in what Eric Lengyel's C4 engine will bring to the table when its released at GDC.

#

Parts of it was licensed by idTech, so there's some chops in there that at least some of C4 is gonna be good.

stray orbit
#

No doubt Eric Lengyel is a highly competent engineer... though, I always worry about engineers when it comes into designing UI and tools-- they are usually not the best people for the job, lol.

warm bloom
# fleet tangle UE?

I'm not discrediting ue just curious what something from scratch disregarding all the bloat and old codebase would look like

stray orbit
#

According to Eric, C4 compiled in 35 seconds on an i7 machine.

#

The whole engine, its toolset, etc.

warm bloom
#

hmm

#

UI is really important though

stray orbit
#

Ye, that's why I'm on the "wait and see" bus for C4.

#

I mean, I'm okay with an archaic UI. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

As long as it works decently well.

#

I care about usability more than how it looks.

#

But sometimes, when it comes to engineers... they design tools that do the job, but if you do the wrong thing with them.. it'll break everything. And I hope C4 doesn't fall into that trap.

#

It would be really nice to have a smaller engine though, kinda like a sidepiece to UE, you know. ๐Ÿ˜‰

warm bloom
#

nothing's gonna replace ue anytime soon with that sweeney_activate wallet

stray orbit
#

Godot was my "indie engine", but I kept feeling like I needed to throw up in my mouth every time I saw it render something. ๐Ÿคฃ

#

"Why is this shadow 2m away from my object? Why does box my have huge horns? Why does crossing shadows give you the same results as Ghostbusters crossing streams?"

#

"Why is there a huge staircase on my shadow? Why did you use this ridiculous dithering to hide the problem instead of fix it?"

#

And my most recent favorite two... Juan telling me that mix lighting modes are bad for engines (essentially, it should either be all baked lighting or all dynamic lights). Which is what he told a friend of mine too, that baked lighting is less efficient than dynamic shadow maps for performance.

#

And here I am like, "No wonder Godot 3D performs like a tired donkey."

#

Anyway /endrant, lol

proud jay
#

why is no one taking over lol

stray orbit
#

It's Juan's engine.

#

He doesn't let anybody do anything without his say so.

proud jay
#

but it's MIT license

#

you can do what you want with it

fleet tangle
#

Not to his official source, though

stray orbit
#

Yeah, there are forks of Godot that try to improve it and backstream the changes-- but it's still an uphill battle for those people doing it.

#

And those engines, despite improvements, can't fix the problems fast enough than new ones get piled on as the engine grows.

#

It's kind of a monumental task... much easier said than actually done.

#

Oh, actually, the Rimworld thing has some public discourse: https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/8mhzfo/comment/dzosa6s/ here's a post from Rimworld dev on his takes after evaluating Godot. And his conclusions back then, are the same as mine now-- Godot doesn't do the fundamentals well. He said it was close, but it's not there... and sadly, five years later, it's still not.

so just got done watching gamefromscratch's Godot 4 video, and a few comments are already getting spicy! "Unreal is huge, slow and bloated....that's why I've been waiting for Godot and eager to leave the shithell that is Unity/Unreal =D"
It'll be a good read tonight when I get home. ๐Ÿ˜€

The long process of waiting for Godot is... over! The open source Godot game engine just released Godot 4! In this video we look at the key new features including SDFGI and Voxel Global Illumination, the new Vulkan Render, the new 2D Tilemap editor, Occlusion culling and much more!

The defense was always that it is easy enough to script for, so it wasn't a priority.

zinc matrix

did it start as 2d engine or why those features so late?

#

ive never used it

#

but chat today has made me curious

terse wasp
#

Started as a 3D engine.

#

Open sourced as a 2D/3D engine

#

Came late because at the beginning most people were asking for 2D features. And 4 is mostly focused on 3D.

#

Why they didn't add it in 3.x - I don't know.

#

They've been working on 4 for 5 years. Once they started pushing bugs and issues to be addressed in 4.0, that's when I start the clock.

#

For awhile, they didn't want to do much of anything to the renderer because they were rewriting it for 4.0 and they saw it as wasted effort.

There's no "er" and "th" in Japanese, so this happens. I actually know a lot of games/animes where voice actors pronounce it this way.
oh well (And by the way auditions are never like this from my experience)
And before you guys say anything yeah it's a Jojo reference obviously, and yes for some reason some of you guys thought it's dio but it's ...

So, if I created a ChatGPT version of myself.... fed it some of my chat history... I wonder if people would even realize if I'm no longer human? Then what if I trained Tortoise TTS on my voice, linked it into a server and gave it the ability to voice chat. ๐Ÿคฃ I think I could replace myself, somewhat, convincingly.

#

Then, what if I tied it into a soft phone... and had it answer and make calls on my behalf.

#

I could create a persona of myself, that I could guide... without actually directly interacting with anyone. ๐Ÿ˜…

proud jay
#

there was some smartphone company actually making a system where you could have an AI automatically answer calls in your voice

#

I forgot which one though

stray orbit
#

I think the downfall could be if it accepts contracts from a scammer, lolol.

#

Is "sorry, it wasn't me" an acceptable excuse to get out of a contract?

I asked chat gpt "ispire me for an inovative and fun game i could code an publish", pretty cool result:

Alright, let's think even more outside the box. How about a game called "Teleport Quest"?

In this game, players would take on the role of time-traveling adventurers who must use their teleportation powers to navigate through different time periods and dimensions to complete various quests and missions.

The game could be set up as a hybrid of an action-adventure game and a puzzle game. Players would have to use their wits and strategic thinking to overcome obstacles and defeat enemies while exploring different locations in different eras and parallel universes.

To add an innovative twist, the game could use real-world locations and events as the basis for the game's quests and missions. For example, players could be tasked with preventing the assassination of a historical figure or stopping a catastrophic event from occurring in a parallel universe.

The game could also have a social element, allowing players to team up with other players from around the world to complete missions together and share in the adventure.

Overall, Teleport Quest could be an innovative and exciting game that combines elements of time travel, action, puzzle-solving, and social gameplay. It could offer endless possibilities for exploration and adventure, making it a game that players would want to keep coming back to again and again.

Computer froze for 5 minutes while installing Edge. I don't use Edge. (โ•ฏยฐโ–กยฐ)โ•ฏ๏ธต โ”ปโ”โ”ป

pearl elk
#

I keep getting Edge ads, I swear MS will never learn

#

If you open Chrome website on Edge its all like... are you sure, cmon man nudge nudge

#

Then you open Edge website on Chrome and its just AHAHAHAHA, still chromium bro

cursive crypt
#

MS keep pestering us, its enough we use win10

pearl elk
#

Yeah I had a full install screen after an update recently just to stop and try to sell me Edge and Office 365

#

Google might be greedy as too but they dont do that with Android updates

cursive crypt
#

This happens regularly on my end. It actually wants to install win11 and meanwhile, maybe you want 365?!

pearl elk
#

Yeah I noticed recently Edge somehow snuck in as my default PDF viewer and if I open a link from Outlook it wont use my default browser it defaults to Edge

#

its so sly

cursive crypt
#

Ha! It did that recently too. It was Chrome, then suddenly - Edge. Had to reassign.

pearl elk
#

Thing is MS is fighting the wrong fight, no one cares what browser you use when theyre all running the same thing underneath

#

Even Opera is chromium now

cursive crypt
#

Frankly, I don't care as long I have everything well integrated. Bookmarks, clouds etc. And I use G stuff. Therefore, nothing else.

pearl elk
#

Pain in the butts, I wish Facebook app would use the default browser on Android instead of having its own browser. They really dont want you to leave

#

Thats the thing I find with tech in general these days, its full of what I call friction multipliers. Its designed in a way that certain things have extra friction to keep you locked into their service rather than supporting seamless transition

#

Oh youre leaving Steam, Epic, Youtube etc, are you sure you wanna go to the link you clicked? They'll tell you its to protect you but it breaks fundamental functionality in terms of the internet. To think they rekon there will be a seamless metaverse... Ok Boomer lol

cursive crypt

They still hated tho? I hope.

pearl elk

I see em everywhere though, now theyre just floating in the window instead of a separate window

warm bloom

thats not a popup

#

thats a modal

#

all the same shit just teasing lol

#

atleast it doesnt open a new tab though

#

glad chrome blocks those

pearl elk
#

yeah but have you ever opened a browser with 100 tabs and tried working out where the audio is coming from?

#

probably some IGN video autoplaying

warm bloom
#

mute tabs

pearl elk
#

mute the entire browser more like lol

warm bloom
pearl elk
#

but then you download like 40 YT videos without realising in the background

warm bloom
#

infact you got a nice little icon to show you

#

which tabs are playing audio

pearl elk
#

Sorry, which tab, these are windows ๐Ÿ˜›

cursive crypt
#

based

pearl elk
#

Thats not even all of em, see the scroll at the bottom?

warm bloom
#

is that opera

#

tbf you could make an extension so quickly to mute all tabs

#

for loop the tabs and mute them

#

on another note do you know tabs can be closed?

pearl elk
#

yeah but like I said it doesnt stop em downloading does it

#

and I do close em, this is after heavy research so they bloated back out

warm bloom
#

god damn

#

your heavy research is too heavy

pearl elk
#

If I bookmark em its outta sight, outta mind

#

tbh I could use an AI assistant to help

#

instead MS adds ChatGPT to Bing...

#

give me Clippy damnnit, I need his help obviously

#

There is actually a good feature in Opera for organising tabs but again, dont use it because it hides them all out of sight. I prefer to have them there as a reminder

cursive crypt
#

I know ppl who have files on their desktop.

zinc matrix
#

whats the best browser?

warm bloom
zinc matrix
#

I use a generic browser, firefox

warm bloom

use tab groups

i think its working fine

chrome could be considered the best because it has the most users

also the laser might have a safeguard

Agree with that. Knew a guy who knew how to handle sharp tools. During a winter camp he pulled the axe out of the stump and it kinda jumped a bit and landed across his ankle. You know those pictures you see and they say, don't worry it looks worse than it is, well this wasn't. It was much worse.

Lasers by comparison, proper eye protection will be fine in most use cases.

Any worse and it's just "cause of death".

I wonder how many first draft death certificates had the cause of death as "Really? I can't even..."

carmine frigate
#

natural causes

primal summit
#

How did it even fit? And why did it cure so fast? I'll just put "heart attack" and move on...

regal pecan
#

Like doctors, death certificates are illegible.

primal summit

only the embarassing ones

regal pecan
#

You can keep those abrupt.
Cause of death: "asphyxiation by artificial bolus"

#

...a bolus is in the bloodstream isn't it. I tried.

primal summit
#

like "Asphixiation due to inadequate supply of spray paint, switched to huffing aerosolized cyanoacrylate. "

carmine frigate
#

cause of death: he died

regal pecan
#

Maybe there's a requirement to rule out certain things for insurance, like self harm.

#

Is there insurance for killer whale collisions?

carmine frigate
#

yea costs 2$ extra per year... im just taking the risk

regal pecan
#

Chainsaw gloves only protect one hand!?

primal summit
carmine frigate
#

damn thats pretty cheap

regal pecan

It was bicycle insurance.

#

A one-time fee sounds more like extended warranty coverage.

carmine frigate
#

also i got the zombie deluxe package... if i turn zombie they will put me in a nice room and feed me lifestock

#

damn i think i should actually sell zombie insurance... i bet i would make bank

regal pecan
#

But think of the liabilities for zombie housing.

#

The escape rate over time is close to 100%

carmine frigate
#

i bet real estate becomes real cheap in case of zombie outbreak

think of the zombie clause in T&Cs in AWS or something else they provide

real thing btw - google can tell you more ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜„

#

I even asked their support and these people told me to repeat processes I already did dozens of times

#

this stupid windows is constantly downloading an update for the security intelligence software and it never installs, this machine is broken beause of that

#

makes me enraged, bill gates owes me money

#

he owes me and I am going to pretend it

they just post link that comes first in google search ๐Ÿ˜„

#

in my case they got me to install a software for repairing windows

#

I bought it (28 euros)

#

and it fixed nothing

#

instead the youtube jeet told me much more info (but still never fixed the issue)

appeal of 3D is the unrealism, hence why unreal engine is called "unreal" because it surely mimicks realism but its mostly a marketing plot to expand unreal engine into architecture visualization and other lucrative fields... A good game with appealing visuals is medievil from ps1, the success is mostly caused by the color choices that we dont know for sure if were accidental of work of art, but in any case it did work... so I think you could start by thinking of a color scheme, or an atmosphere. As for models, low or high, I would go high poly due to my own preference, but I have seen some people being able to bring variety in the boring and totally uninspired field of low poly modeling, so it really boils down to how you do it rather than a general rule. I think with some creativity even lower poly models would bring a good result for a game

I think the best idea is to get a good art director or lead artist and guide everything so it's consistent and visually appealing no matter the art style

I like high poly visuals even if the textures are shit tbh

1 - They fit with the theme and keep a consistent style. Its the reason even bare bones pixel art 3d, or PSX style games can look appealing, while photorealism can. Consistency is needed.
2 - High poly visuals aren't really used that much in games. but if you're talking low poly, as in the sort of blocky stylized look, then certainly that, over realism.
3 - Responsiveness. Animations must feel responsive. Slow robotic movements for a human character doesn't really work well. It needs to feel natural
4 - Contrast. Sci fi always has heavy contrast against somewhat unseen geometric shapes. Think tunnels that are trapezoidal. Abnormally crisp, clean glossy white walls, with very angular neon inlighting.
5- For SciFi? Alien Isloation for sure. It really nailed that one. Seconded by Subnautica. Just in General? Games like The Last of Us 2, and Dying Light 2 really do well at making vibrant environments

I got an even better idea, lets fire the art directors and I do it myself because I am better

#

my advice is to acquire 2 important skills: dunning kruger and schizophrenia

#

when you have a mix of dunning kruger and skizophrenia you will be unstoppable

#

bye

pearl elk
#

which art director fired you?

zinc matrix
#

nobody

#

I just dont like people that touch my stuff

#

I mean, I dont learn to create assets so that a pretentious guy comes and uses them while I dont get to have an opinion, no way. I will learn unreal and do it myself

#

these "art directors" are really pretentious if you ask me. To them I tell "do your own stuff and stop robbing", I will not be your slave and I am more creative than you are

I had an art director that had a theater set dressing background...we didn't get along very well

my great aunt does alot of theatre stuff, she manages the productions

SO sick of this. we need a select-all button.

#

700 meshes and some of them i dont want i dont want to do this all manually ๐Ÿ˜ฆ ( yes i can just delete them and select all textures and meshes. but that crashes.)

Does anyone have a ChatGPT Plus account? If so, can you please ask it what version of Blender it is familiar with? Regular free ChatGPT stops at 2.93.5 which has too many things that do not match 3.3.1

Hmm.. how do i find some dudes to carry each other through this "unreal learning curve"?
Just browsing 1000 comments on Introductions?

If you could ask it what version it supports, i would appreciate it

The model was only trained up until like 2021

#

I understand the Public model is 2021, but it keeps hinting the the Plus model probably has newer information. Hoping to see which Blender version it reports, as that is a super quick way to tell, and pertinent to me

plus is the same model

#

afaik

#

just less limits and faster response time
