Its gonna take a while to fly out lmao im pushing lwc to its absolute meme able limits, that yellow star is 20km across kek
Minimalism is a good choice, but the emptiness in minimalism is offset by some kind of clutter that provides a stark contrast.
Yeah makes sense
Then, the few planets and the space around them that are completely empty become starker still.
Got it
Expect spelling mistakes. The AI model is running; system chugging
@empty dune IT WORKED! 😄 YES!
😆

wanna switch?
My favorite parts of the year are mid spring and early fall
I even quite like winter... on the other hand... summer can go where it came from
I'm fine as long there are no extremities. Moderate climates.
gotta move up in the mountains, we had 7C last night
It's a trap. They had a snow till the other day.

it'll be officially summer in 4 days, it's 14 degrees here lol
it's really been like october weather the last month or something
3 days until the summer solstice
It's supposed to be rainy season and it was 24 C for a few days, with the occasional shower.
Now, it's back up to 31 C. 😄
I wish it was 7C here 
yeah it's been pretty cold the last week here too and suddenly we are getting 30+ C
move closer to the alps 😆
I'd rather have 14 degrees than 30 though
Although I don’t mind summer given it’s very short here
tony iommi had no fingertips and he still played the guitar
django reinhardt played with only 3 fingers
wait
2
you don't use the thumb either way
but his ring finger and pinky got fucked in an accident
that's how gypsy jazz was invented
black sabbath guitar sound also came from Tony Iommi having a hand injury
on his last day of work in the metal factory he smashed his hand in a press
oh
that's the guy you said lol
my bad
the best guy
you should learn the iron man solo
you could play wild thing
maybe I should
a bit sad that I still have to wait over a month for my electric guitar to get here
🙂
average ai generated hand
enough time to learn to shred
can one truly shred on an acoustic
Here's an excerpt from my lesson pack "Insta Licks For Guitar" check it out for more content like this: https://gum.co/BPLUi

when I was younger, I wanted to play the guitar really badly. After years of practice, lessons and work, I can play the guitar really badly.
proud of you
🥰
gonna have to learn to play with a pick too
I don't have on atm lol
but one is arriving with my guitar
it was free
and that's a great price
picks are cheap, think the last one I bought was maybe 50cents?
yup
should probably buy a capo too though
I just saw on amazon they sell capos together with picks for some reason lol
I've hardly ever used my capo. I think there were like... two songs that I ever needed it for?
but get a good tuner, I've always wanted one of those clip-on ones
the guy in the course I do has it at some point
so would at least like to follow the lessons
I got that for free with the guitar too
nice
guitar tuna app on android
I also have songsterr for tabs
that's what I use now
this one was included in my set https://www.thomann.de/be/thomann_ctg10.htm
I paid for the guitar + amp and got the stand, tuner, picks and cable for free
When I started I tuned +5 because I was tone deaf
or you guys have other useful accessories?
Broke a string
don't trust those tests
they are limited by the hardware that you use, soundcard, amp, headphones/speakers, software eq, etc.
Guitar strap to rock out
Yeah but it's a gigantic margin between the tested notes
Dont think it matters
did you actually fail this?
it's hard to imagine not hearing this
but I guess it's all I've known
I was so off I broke a string so yes
oof
But I trained my ear, it's fine now
97%
I did it really fast
you have to understand, I'm a lazy bum, I like to sit
Because I know I have perfect hearing now
a second guitar
You might want to get up when you do them solos
And a third
I have stronly considered this lol
have to hold back
at least until I get the first
ooh, and a roadie to do all your tuning/setup for you. dont need a tuner
I had a coworker who was in The Amsterdams, perhaps you've heard of it
He had guitars in the office
And at home
And at the studio lol
You need easynegative.
that's what I said
something tell me that not gonna work correctly
36/36.
100 euros please.
damn, I kinda expected better.
Tho I'm in a meeting 🤔
nah
with easynegative, you can ensure the hands never render that way. 🙂

wait a moment, I don't really remember whats the name for the small contained represented 3d areas etc
someone remember the name of that ?
like that or others
diorama nevermind
diorama = small scale replica
Tho it does not need to be a small scale actually 🤔
"diorama" denotes a partially three-dimensional, full-size replica or scale model of a landscape typically showing historical events, nature scenes or cityscapes, for purposes of education or entertainment.
want to see a magic trick from market models ?
Maybe you are wondering why those edges in the flat faces
what happen if you remove them
They put a quad on top? 🤔
seems like due the window is only once face from top to bottom
technically will require less polygons, kinda interesting but strange at the same time
be wary of puddles guys
Matanuska Glacier in Alaska! Yes, this is no joke. Have you experienced anything like this?
#matanuska #glacier #strangerthings #upsidedown #glacierhike #amazingfacts #amazing #uniquevideos
considering that each floor could most likely be an (H)ISM instance, the saved poly count isn't such a great tradeoff 😛
well in this case is for a huge scene so, each house is the instance itself
bloody hell.
@proud jay The event with Jared Tan has started.
The event you linked us a day or two ago.
oh
that thing
you guys are ruining me, now I have a shopping basket with 2 12 packs of extra picks, a strap, strap locks, another strap lock you can hold the cable in, some string sets to try out a capo and a string winder
I didn't. Blame those other lazy dev peoples.
now I hope I have everything I ever need
have you discovered effect pedals yet?
dude youre really going all in
wait for the thing to come to you first and see if you like it
I just wanted a capo and some picks ok
I got carried away
I already have 2 drum sets, so I could be
@unborn lotus question, are we evil enough to introduce dieter to pianos?
evil? just being helpful
I have a midi keyboard
well, from a financial perspective we are definitely NOT helpful kek
my good deed for the day done lmao, he's already falling
what models did you look at?
you mean a non-split in half one right
but once my house is built I'll probably steal the upright piano from my dad
haven't really looked much into it, would probably be something second hand though
also because it costs a fortune to tune
and if you wanna get rid of it you need to transport it
true
so we all agree I'm not missing essentials for my guitar anymore right
After likes got private at xwitter my "for you" tab started to be full of degenerate content
I hope one day server data wont get leaked or my account wont get stolen
you can remove "maybe"
oh
cool
you can thank musk for liking humiliation p*rn
the feature was added shortly after
the fuck
at least it is not some political stuff from any far sides
these are the facts
i saw that but didnt know it was real lmao
saw what?? there's p*rn on twitter now?
yes, its legally allowed now
what is it, some kind of tumblr?
there's always been lol
prn got allowed, few days later musk liked something embarassing, then next day likes got private
lol
bruh
shoulda made a second account for that
i dont care what he likes or not but im glad likes got private
some "official" people were unfollowing me because of I like anime content
some adult stuff posted now you can like us without hesitation as likes are private
after they follow me because of a helpful post related with ue/bp2cpp
i imagine them as "eww, he likes anime" and proceeds to unfollow
man, you guys remember when facebook and instagram notified you of what your friends were liking or commenting on?
that was a wild wild time lmao
lmao
do you know whats embarassing
they don't do that anymore?
having a very business setting meeting with some rich people and they follow u on twitter, only to see you like degenerate content in the platform
and then at next meting you pretend like that didnt happen
bruh
and continue wearing your Business Mode Attitude™️
you really are something
did you check the single moms in your area?
absolutely legit japanese fans of mine
I had 2K, I should sell the account and retire
youre literally suffering from success lmao
im not
meeting with rich people, about to make bank
he's suffering from anime addiction
they're always being too patient and friendly with me and this leads me to think im still incompetent at business
if business people are not shitting on your face, you're doing it wrong
you want cutthroat negotiations? is that another anime side effect?
i'd fuck up so bad in those meetings
last few months made me realize even though its difficult programming is my comfort zone
taking a step towards crafting deals, finding middle points and trying to satify sides etc
fucking so difficult
@proud jay r don't forget about a slide for blues. altough you can probably just cut a metal pipe
yeah i know what you mean
i really dont like that part of game dev. the fact that you also gotta be a businessman
i genuinely didnt know CTO means a programmer doomed to not program and work on business deals
i thought it was a fancy title for deciding on engineering stuff
I'll just 3d print a shit one if I ever need it
or woman, you sexist
but it has to be metal
all this game dev nonsense has taught me that even as an extrovert, meetings are serious anxiety inducing
only if you play metal music
my trick is to disable brain and enter mania mode lol
businesshelicopter
I don't think that's game dev specific
the real trick is just not giving a shit up front
I used to love meetings, shame I can't do them anymore
I like meetings if they're useful, unfortunately 85% of them are shit
no matter what tricks you know it doesnt work once you have someone really experienced on business on the otherside
whats stopping you? finding participants?
these days im literally getting paid to be participant of nonsense meetings
i cant even play csgo lmao
I just work from home
exactly why you need a meeting for this
i recall a meme about a company doing meetings on rdr2
instead of slack or skype
imagine having to download 105gb to talk with your boss
any chance ceo was an idiot and caused bankruptcy but still manages some other compnay at belgium
and has a history of failed game
"we are a family here"
nah, that was just on discord
2x more salary then 🥺 you wouldnt break heart of a family member would you? 🥺
*abusive family
i feel like the trick to business meetings is knowing how much whatever you are buying/selling is not worth and how much the other person thinks it is or is not worth. and that just comes from experience
i hate it tbh, id much rather just work on something that doesnt make me feel like im taking or getting taken advantage of
its not always bad, but often you're at the mercy of other side if you are clueless
i got saved by some valueable friends
if they wouldnt help me I'd fuck up really bad
i have another meeting soon and i'll have to go through all of this again for a different subject though 
i hate it already
im really not
i wish though
a few more months and you can afford laura
only to add operator¯\_(ツ)_/¯ to c++29
once I asked her how can I add this feature to cpp compilers and she sent me the file throgh github
mad
Some ppl prefer to have business and personal accounts.
i dnot have a strong will, once i see a catgirl on my feed i like it, whether its my private account or not
and because I'm trying to be selective to not leak my degenerecy through likes to my followers' feeds twitter shows up even more quality stuff
step 1: don't use twitter
An whole minute passed, you maybe have better control than you say.
hey you big faker, I was doing arduino crap
biscuit board
maybe he is having trouble liking it with one hand
@timber viper oh btw, a friend of my friend recently got married and she and her husband wanted to build their own house. they hired this architect who was staring at his phone and scrolling the whole time during the meeting. they thought he was taking notes.........it was just big boob anime girls.
This dude is a teacher at a college and does freelance architecture consultation on the side. he has a wife and kids and apparently his wife is the exact opposite of the kind of anime girls he apparently likes
almost thought you were talking about me there at first
mfer apparently has a pinterest account thats public and filled with AI generated pictures of anime girls
lol did you also come across someone like this?
Furries?
he was the husband lookihng at anime
iirc, there was some nice plugin for Blender voxeilizing
3dsmax also has a voxel remesh (and a plugin) for that
It was this one I referred to: https://blendermarket.com/products/voxel-heat-diffuse-skinning
hmm wait it was for skinning 😄
lol, ok
I f hate cuda/nvidia/prop tech, so maybe check out these first:
that's what poachers think
peak design
that dacia is kinda cool
It is nanite processed.
Well making a conversion tool sounds easier. Anyway, I haven' tried these myslef.

A cucumber was ripe for picking, got to eat it as part of breakfast. Tasted good
Might do this breakfast thing more often
that doesnt sound like a healthy relationship
the beauty of arranged marriages
arranged marries suck
im being sarcastic in case it wasnt obvious
it was
completely
id rather die single than get into an arranged marriage
i think i will die beforing getting married so i dont care
thats why i have no shame
lol why do you think youll die so quick
the world needs bp2cpp v2.0, you dont get to escape this quick
recently I realized
cpp was a transpiler before it became a language
called cfront
and someone has to write a transpiler instead of a language to "fix" cpp's issues
oh really?
yes, fundamental concepts of cpp was implemented through code generation on top of the c lang
later on they became components of compilers
all those template metaprogramming, broken include system, stupid containers
could be fixed through pre-compiler phase codegeneration
or just rewriting the compilers
but first one is easier
i cant even imagine writing compilers, let alone rewriting
@trail ore Did you check this link too? - https://github.com/Eisenwave/obj2voxel
for example fucking FORCEINLINE never forces an inline, but with codegen you can inline your own
by literally generating same function in the callsite
me and my three brain cells
thank god i didnt study aerodynamics
i would fail at first year
nah youd be fine i think
recently my coworker taught me simple vector math forcefully
in front of other coworkers
to humiliate me 
{55655,56559,25415} becomes 0-1 because there is 2 * 3.14 and square root and something else that i dont remember
i pretended to listen most of it
or was it exponential numbers instead of square root 
or both
i have no idea what youre talking about
me neither
in case if it wasnt obvious 
i got threatened by learning trigonometry for next week's meeting
oh wow he really wants you dead huh
i'll teach him template metaprogrammer and we'll be even
sohcahtoa is coming for you
is this a weird memorizing trick
This reminds me of Doom.
indeed
will you pay me 20$ to review my meth? 🥺
So you had to pat attention to math in highschool after all
Not learning calculus until university was a bit of a wild ride.
we learnt calculus in grade 7 or 8, what
No clue
i remember my teacher at 6th grade got mad at me cause i was doing something from a calculus textbook instead of taking notes from the stuff he wrote on the blackboard
mfer really hated me after that, imagine how much of a prick you gotta be to have beef with a teenager
wait, not even teenager
i was 12
We had a teacher fired for punching a kid, them teenagers pushed him over the edge
twelveteen
wow
tbf I'd probably have punched some of my classmates too
teenagers are awful, especially around here
id punt a kid anyday but not when i signed up to hang out around them as my fucking job
IRC episode was the best episode of numb3rs.
thats just fucked up imo
Basically kids smell you don't have authority from day one and they do whatever they want
Even first graders
if you hate kids maybe dont take a job that involves dealing with them
Job or not, kick the mother heffer when they give you hard times for no reason
Kid gonna learn some discipline today
I was an arsehole as a teenager.
Maybe you like them but you find out they don't like you 😆
oh yeah adult me would punch the shit out of child me lmao
I'm selling photoshop services if anyone needs them :P
Honestly same I was a proper dick sometimes
thats not even the worst thing my digital footprint has lmao
I've been listening to songs about getting drunk and youtube calls it uplifting and reflective
bruh i listened to sped up+reverb for a while and spotify called me a cottagecore addict
up-lifting you into an ambulance, where your scarred liver reflects off the shiny metal instruments in the OR

you got some music in your country there

I'm pretty certain I listened to 3 other songs more than I did 2 of the songs in my top tracks. It appears that their watered down version of spotify wrap isnt that good yet
subtle counter counter counter counterpoint, nuh uh
Why would die ärtze be in my top artists, but none of their songs be in my top tracks
Chain 4, does tea have a response for chain 5
i dont use youtube music so i cant tell but the one time i checked my wrap, it told me i was into heavy metal and jazz
neither of which is particularly true
i used a subtle counter, he cant counter a subtle counter 😎
subtler counter counter counter counter counterpoint, uh huh, times infinity
Well, I can tell you for certain, i have not listened to even 1% of hiphop
sellout 😒
Its throwing shit out its ass to fix it's bad math
Love me some of the hip hop https://youtu.be/zMWSxxUmuBo?si=VWGqN4JCLzRvy9fU

Hipnot
id like to join in on the punching of child you, thanks
Why punch his child form when you can punch current form
good point
Aim for the nuts, and punch all 7 trillion + him at the same time
A punch that will be felt for generations
the geneva suggestions do not approve of such actions
Even his grandkids will be infertile
You arent a government body or a military force, so you do not have to abide by such a form.
Only problem is I'm his manager. Can't punch your manager
Gonna cleanse with some progressive https://youtu.be/KfbutUULRmM?t=90
I need to sleep earlier today. Two days of 3 a.m. sleeps has left me a tad tired, but both days were spent VERY productively.
Now, if I can just figure out how to paint INTO the white masked portions of this book cover with AI, BEFORE midnight, that'd be dandy.
This is possibly the worst song I've ever heard.
As usual, this goes slower than I'd imagined it would.
Work, work, work.
Slightly true, but getting AI to hit very specific areas ONLY with the right lighting is PITA.
There must be something worse out there.
Once you start working AI into an actually productive, goal-oriented pipeline, then you get back to the age-old problem of hashing out all the kinks and setting up SOPs, so that you don't end up with more sleepless nights down the line.
The more things change, the PITA they remain.
At least nice programmers created decent UIs for using AIs. I can't imagine doing this with command prompt only.
sir
I wake up at 4 AM 😂
When do you sleep?
wtf is this
I slept at 3 and got up at 8, this morning and last. 😦
9pm - 4 am
Ah, good sleep.
I need my 10-12 hours.
I'll try to get it tonight, but AI is making me work at this.....
Nah this is it
I think my tomato plant is stupid
Should be 6-10 tomatoes per cluster, but this idiot has 14-20 tomatoes per cluster
Take this https://youtu.be/HzXI_ApY4dY
Some are falling off because it cant hold it up 😔
Build it one of those trellis/support structure thingies.
DAMN! I got it to work. ✊
All it took was telling the damn thing to make both characters FACE the camera.
The plant itself us tied up to a stake
It isnt supposed to have 20 tomatoes on a cluster
Well, it does. So, all you can do is build additional support. Or play golf with the falling tomatoes.
That's quite nice.

is there some decent facades textures page aside from Textures dot com ?
indeed, indeed.
Paid or nah?
well if free the better, but we can see, neither I need high res
By facades do you mean pre-made buildings faces and etc btw? I just recall your screenshots earlier.
If so, I don't know.
wtf
yeah like that, just hose looks non cleared
oh bottom ones looks better
I think you can search around, that what I did at least, e.g. https://www.texturecan.com/details/316/
ty man
Does not look so. Voxelization is kinda interesting topic, there are some pretty well researched approaches, yet many things yet to do 🙂
ah, good ol' sponza scene
that's a whole lotta triangles for what looks like a flat face
That's why I hate magicavoxel and importing anything it makes into unreal

I think my stomach just screamed instead of the usual growl
8 mystery peppers and 4 peppers I know that I ordered
Damn chocolate habenero sounds good af
Tastes nothing like chocolate, and its hotter than red habaneros
I'm tempted to grow some jalapenos this year when the weather warms up
I know, I just like habenero
Start them now if you're growing from seed
Takes "a while" to germinate and stuff. But they take off when they come. Been learning alot about growing peppers this year. Next year I'll have better results
Because its brown
Its habanero negro in Spanish, according to Wikipedia
Why
It's just black or brown in spanish, its americans that turned a Spanish word into something else
Dont fall to american standards
How do they do with unstable climates? I've never bothered because I heard chillies like the warmth.
Over here it can be 30 degrees one day, and raining and 15 degrees the next.
Celcius or
I'm considering one of those mini greenhouses for them, should provide a more stable climate even on the not so nice days
closer to 60
How do they handle lower, like the 40f to 50f range?
4c and lower is when you should worry
50 is acceptable
Or random days in spring
@dense atlas youd say 50f or 10c is acceptable for outdoor peppers right?
bringing them indoors is also not much issue either. Plenty of warmth and sunlight :D
Duly notes, thanks
I was actually looking into setting up some home hydroponics at some point because they looked like some fun to tinker with.
Look quite power intensive though so I never went for it.
Anything indoors is power intensive
Little lights of mine raised power bill by 50 bucks in one month
I like dirt
Veggies don't taste the same without a smidgen of dirt on them
Yeah I have to imagine the soil nutrients impart a lot of flavour
The flipside of that is veggies grown in bad soil will just kill you, so there's that. Love me a cucumber with a side of fatal arsenic poisoning
Whatever I dont eat just goes right back into the ground to compost and feed my other plants
I'm happy, the worms are happy, the microbes are happy, so the plants can be happy
Which makes me happy, and it repeats
How come?
Hydros were more of a pet project for fun than actual utility. I have a decent sized garden so there's little reason to not use it aside from unstable weather
Aeroponics is something I just heard about
Ah so just a water in places where water shouldn't thing
huh? you just gas nutrients at your plants?
I think so, hydroponic nutrients sits in the bottom and is misted up for the roots

If there's 4 people I want in an apocalypse it's a vet, an outdoorsman, a repair man, and a hardcore hobbyist stoner
Got my medical attention, my living off the land, my repair and fortification, and my cultivation. Boom apocalypse survived
I can live off the land
Can fish and hunt, and grow
Hope you like living off beans
And meats
Beans are an odd one for me, love the flavour, hate the texture, but put up with it when needed.
They mature in 55 days, take another 15 days to make ripe beans
Pinto beans. Vine variety. They grow and grow and produce alot
And they're the better tasting ones
We can hunt bears in winter, that fatty meat will stick to your stomach
Fish too, but that's hard in winter
Why kill the bears when you can tame them
Then eat their kids
Were going to Kentucky or texas for a reasonably small apocalypse. We'll be eating hogs for years until the shit blows over
Kind of wanted to explore hunting at some point. Not as easy in the UK though
They're making it illegal to kill wild hogs now
They're invasive as fuck
Reproduce like crazy
Already planning on pursuing a firearms license for sport when I can drive, but because all the land is private or protected you can't just go and hunt
Fell asleep watching videos on other invasive species
If you want to stalk deer you need to be good friends with some rich person with an estate
The u.k really let some idiots release some crawfish into the rivers that dont need males to reproduce
Rabbits and stuff are easy enough, farmers happily accept you taking care of their fields
We have a lot of idiots
A lot
Probably why we have so many licenses
Some dumbfuck released gray squirrels in europe. Which is destroying the environment for red squirrels
What confuses me is why I remember this, being half asleep and all
Bear tastes good
Theres a bear that ate a human and lived somewhere out there telling other bears we taste good
My glorious gib png I made for explosions when ships explode in my gallaga clone lol
Still makes me laugh, it looked really convincing for the 2 seconds it was displayed
I went to Scotland once and there were signs everywhere saying "if you see a grey squirrel kill it or call this number so we will"
Kinda made me sad as I do like them, then again, invasive species is an invasive species
The video I watched said it was pretty pointless to try and stop them at this point
Damage has already be done
Do it during winter while they're hibernating, use NATO troops.
What tf else are they for
Tactical Nuclear Squirrel Annihilator
Holy shit that's a lot of bats
That is a lot of bars
Bats
Might make a twitch account just to ask em to collect their poop and send it to me
Nvm gotta have the app
pretty sure that is just one vampire flying away
What I wanna know is who tf does this bitch think she is saying I cant use the bathroom in my own fuckin house???
I will make direct eye contact next time and piss all over the toilet seat
Show em what southern hospitality is about
uwat
Is this the brother's gf?
Lounge lore gets more and more complicated to keep track of
Yes.
She really hates you huh
Oh she's a meth head?
Amazing
Them withdrawal rages are rough huh
Me and my brother got into a physical fight one night during his
Found my garden spade in her stuff. Also my blink 182 shirt, wouldnt surprised if that's where my flashdrive with all my python and godot projects was in there too
Why would you take a fucking garden shovel of all things???
shiney
Why did I laugh at that
Your brother's gf is a blood raven
She claimed that shovel as her chapter relic
She buys me shit, and stealz shit from me. Is friendly, then bitchy.
Make your mind up
Sounds like a blood raven
Got her some plants so shed leave mine alone lol
strap them to a table and make them cold turkey
Unbeknownst to her it's too late to start growing spring veggies 🙏
Anyways theres a tomato producing monstrous sized clusters
you think thats bad, thew sheer metric ton of rain texas got in may has my garden overun with zuchini and squash
i have no damned clue what im going to do with 80 pounds of gourds
Make gourdians
4 iron blocks in the shape of a capital T and a carved squash/zucchini on top
lol
I got 36 tomatoes on that cluster forked into two
The other 2 have 14 and 19 tomatoes.
Theres 2 more clusters up higher with 20, maybe more on them
First one was only 8. Rookie numbers
On the other hand, I lost my knife somewhere on my bed with the blade out. Gonna sleep and hope I dont wake up impaled
Great for even more finger pain
Yooo mr carpenter x upholsterer x game dev how you doing
x guitarist
hot damn
I actually find this super cool lol

lol
have you finished episodes of nightsprings?
finished the 2nd one today, it was great
YOU ARE COFFEEE
that's longer than I've been alive
some people really like to work
most people do work more than 32 years I would thin
well most people that get to old age
doubt, I can't introduce myself as an indie dev at 60
so you gonna stop working when you're 40 or whatever?
and just retire?
I didn't say work at the same place for 32 years, that's more rare, especially these days
who wouldn't want to FIRE
well, you need the FI part for that though
true enough 😢
Why do all that when you could follow the grindset, watch Andrew tate and lex fridman, and earn a million dollars before you've left the womb
guess I need to make a few more kids to support me for that
@summer cedar turns out my scene was not lit properly. now with proper lighting and a few sphere's it looks a lot better
Inb4 that's actually just a wallpaper
TIL that emissive materials dont actually cast light like normal light sources in ue
I know your trick. "We'll just photoshop this picture in and put a transform gizmo in. That'll fool em"
Do a fly-through, but only for 10 seconds, not 35.
And yes, it looks better.
Ain't running away with that kickstarter money that easily
15 seconds, take it or leave it
it took me embarrasingly long to figure out the light wasnt working this whole time
This does indeed feel much better.
It's good to be rewarded after hard labour.
Yeah lighting makes all the difference apparently. Anyway, now that this stupid thing is finally working i can plop some textures on those spheres and see how it looks
Smh, anyone can use Sora
Serious feedback though, what else can i do wrt lighting. Or in general
Serious feedback, it looks great
What's sora
Sora is THE video AI.
Text to video ai :P
It takes any text prompt you give it and makes a professional-looking video.
Points of improvement?
There's not much I'd change about that. Everything looks about right. Skybox looks good too
Okay
Yeah. The rest of it depends on how it feels and looks mid-flight.
The starlight streaming past. The rocks, debris, etc. etc.
Also, traffic - other ships flying by, etc. etc.
Definitely want ambient space debris, with your planets too, but that's not judgable at this stage
You probably want trash floating around too. I refuse to believe if we managed commercial space travel like that, then we wouldn't use space as a dumping ground
Also, for variety, take your nebula skybox images and shove them into a local image generator AI. It'll give you tons more, saving you time hunting them down or making them yourself.
I'd definitely see if you can go about altering the skybox over time yeah
More nebula, more gas, more space garbage, more space poo....
I need some help with some METH math though.
I want to scale my character down by 0.1. How does that affect my camera and viewport settings to not make it seem like the player is controlling an ant? Im completely lost on where to begin solving this
Attach your camera to your character and scale both down?
Should just really be changing the cameras fov and focal point
Allow zoom-in/zoom-out, so players can adjust their ant/lion sizes?
Yes all those will be added, this is just spheres right now
No, that won't solve it
I figured they would be, hence my comment about it being too early for that to be a criticism
I mean, it's space. I should be able to zoom into my engine and waste disposal if I want to.
The focal length needs to be changed otherwise the image would be weird
So long as the crew isn't using the toilet at that moment.
Its not about the zoom, its the fact that the camera lens would be too damn big comparatively
With full rotation to admire my ship from all angles, WITHOUT affecting the flight path.
But i don't know the proper math to scale it down
Ask CoPilot. 😛
I'd say it's one of those things you have to play with and see if it looks right
Meth isn't guaranteed to save you here
Hmm, alright
@unreal ether @summer cedar fun fact, there would be a LOT of debris in the game. Infact, you play as a scrapyard mechanic who at the start of the game saved up enough to buy a derelict ship to fix
Definitely aligns with what space would be like in the next few centuries :P
Kinda sad tbh
.... You want screenshots of my gdd?
Did he stutter?
of your global development delay? what's gdd?
Are we really getting the full experience if we don't have Google docs screenies
Game development document
ah. no.
Well, design document
Its on nuclino, i pay 10$ per month for it 😭😭
Its pretty cool, allows for a lot of organisation
A lot of things
Fair
Just use obsidian like a normal human
My life has changed since I used obsidian
You're a red panda now, i can see that. Whether it's for the better, that's debatable
What's your next steps for this game then?
Build system is functioning more or less correctly. The save system absolutely isn't but ill whack that mole when i find it. Right now I'm trying to distract myself by working on the scenery but that's rapidly coming to a workable state too. Next steps would be to create models using build system, export the meshes as obj (cause the save isn't working, other wise id just save the damn things at runtime), and set up some infrastructure. The ship thrust mechanics are working perfectly, the ai works as well which is important cause the player is not necessarily need to pilot their ship (there is a crew system in the game, already working at a passable level).
Then the next step would be coding in GAS properly (i did a half assed job and left it there in like November 2023). Then i can start doing the itemization required for everything that's not the engines to function. After that it runs into the "i haven't thought this part out in detail yet" territory
Nice. I hope there's a trash planet. Just like a wasteland. I also refuse to believe we wouldn't have a wasteland planet, or end up dumping so much trash it generates its own orbit
....... There's a wasteland planet yeah lol
As for trash planet, there's supposed to be the main scrapyard, does that count?
Orbital scrapyard
It passes
Too many space games are perfect pristine space
Yeah, i was inspired by hardspace shipbreaker, so i started this with the idea that everything would be grimy and a struggle
watching some nautilus live so interesting
I just noticed this, you're gonna hate this.
You pilot the ship from inside the ship, there's no ship 3rd person view
So, can I move around the ship like Starfield and StarScam?
Yeah, it already works
Good, good. Show us screenies of the kitchen and loo.
And also the torpedo bay. In that order of importance.
Yeah it's supposed to be "you live here, you work here and if you mess up, you die here" kind of thing. The game actually requires you to make living areas for the crew (right now it's just a bunch of flags but after properly implementing GAS it would work properly)
You can design it however you want, there's some props, there's some building blocks, there's some limited mesh boolean operation support
show screenies!
can you make lasagne in it?
The save system is still not working remember? Lol
If you just want to see the individual operations i can make videos for those
Okay, how do i put this
Save system no worky = no ship
Im not wasting time designing shit just for the saves to be corrupted
you must, for my pleasure.
Can you release it before star citizen?
work, work, work.
We'll find out lmao
I don't think that's really a challenge
Well, technically i dont need the save, since that only affects preservation of the design. I could theoretically just let the game run for a while and make the design and take screenshots/videos without quitting the game
Huh, i didn't think of that
You know what, ill try that
Can we customise the payload of our torpedoes as mechanics?
I feel I reserve the right to launch rubber ducks at enemy ships
ill put in a rubber duck prop for you and you can use that instead of your chair
Piloting the ship sat on a giant rubber duck sounds pretty fire
That's how you win battles
how is screenshots and videos related to save system?
its not, thats what i just concluded. i would just need to do the entire thing in one sitting
Thats just called hardcore mode, ship it
but you'll still make the save system?
later, i cant be bothered to fix it now, i dont even understand why its not working
if you do start on that, tom looman has a good guide for that
I followed it back in the day
I think it was this https://www.tomlooman.com/unreal-engine-cpp-save-system/
(I can't open the link on work VPN so can't be sure)
thanks, ill read it
I didn't do it 1 on 1 but it's good inspiration
I can send you my old code too if you want at some point
oh look another UE game that uses the default amount of motion blur 🤢 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0VaXAYmcCk
Check out this new exclusive gameplay preview of the upcoming Single Player Horror Narrative Game named Still Wakes the Deep developed in Unreal Engine 5! We played this full exclusive preview with RTX 4090 in a 4K monitor (no commentary). This game has been created by the current Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 developers The Chinese Room a...
is this sequel to alan wake
didn't know he had a brother called Still
Alan "Still" Wake
damn, that's a lot of motion blur
actually my problem is relatively simple. i am converting meshes to binary and saving to disk. After load of the json, it parses the thing and tries to use the build system to just remake the steps the player used to make the ship
The problem is, it randomly decides to switch the meshes its supposed to use for the different blocks. for example, one wall would turn into a sphere on one load and back into the proper wall mesh after another load.
strange
i dont understand why it only happens sometimes and that also not for every block
like every Wall Type 1 doesnt turn into a sphere
just a random one sitting far down one corridor for example
guess you'll have to debug
yeah
there's a struct that holds 3 information, the name of the mesh (this is the identifier), the mesh data stored as raw binary and the transform of the mesh at time of save. the system uses the raw binary to reconstruct the mesh and then uses the name to identify which mesh was reconstructed from a central database. so the identification and the reconstruction is separate
and why do you need to store the mesh data?
hey atleast your inventory system that has worked fine for a year and two projects didnt suddenly decide to stop working after a fairly minor change
aren't all "Sphere_Circle_BOY17" the same meshes?
i couldnt figure out a better way of handling mesh boolean operations at runtime
how do you perform the boolean operations?
Hi there!
maybe someone is selling tickets to Unreal fest in Prague?
cause you could store the mesh type + boolean operations
instead of the whole mesh data
well, Epic did
well, yes but you can use a Sphere_Type1 to carve out a chunk from Cube_Type1 and that becomes a whole new mesh
by directly manipulating the vertex and the edge informations using a procedural mesh as an intermediate
for resale idk, maybe check #industry-chat
depending on how heavy this operation is you could perform this on load
the actual operations is done by a library that i managed to find, but i have eliminated the source of the bug from that library
:question: should Dieter sell bread on ssome of the Fests?
:8ball: Outlook not so good.
explain
like I said, you store mesh type + what operation was performed on it. On load you put the default mesh there and reperform the operation
but if the operation is costly and you store thousands, that would not be a great idea
hmm, that would be costly
cause your loading would take 10 min
yeah
but so your issue is that on some reloads, that generated mesh data is wrong?
yes, but not just any kind of wrong. another mesh already present in the central database that is not the one thats supposed to be used wrong
that's wild
i would understand if the data was corrupted or something
so the "mesh type" is already wrong
but thats not whats happening
yeah
even though the reconstruction and identification is separate
which is wild
nope, sold out 🥲
yeah it was closed like 1 month ago or half ago
idk if you can contact some of the guys in the forums from Epic or something
Already, but they cant help, so Im trying to find someone who is not coming
Well not going myself as canceled it on last moment so, can't help much
I wonder how much it would cost me to go to Prague from here, if only Let It Roll and UnrealFest were on acouple of weeks from each other
aren't they
let it roll is 1st of august?
so that's a couple of weeks no?
or am I wrong
or do you have a different definition of couple of weeks
I suppose they are pretty close but I had no idea what dates UnrealFest Prague were going to be on till pretty late
but June -> August isnt 2 weeks, its over a month
something about July or somethin
blame Caesar I guess
Two Weeks (tm)
I did in fact forget about july lol
Oh you almost had me for a sec too before I double checked
unreal mons olympus fest
lol
someone sent a mail for baby news
and she somehow put in screenshot of her ai prompt in the mail and forgot it
cause she copy pasted the text raw below too
That reminds me of the guy here that was posting job offers repeatedly in unrelated channels but forgot to remove the chatgpt header from it
