Hi loungers. Had a question on Discord etiquette. This is the first discord server I've joined that isn't casual. Since Discord doesn't have threads (like Slack) is it poor form to ask an off-topic question while another discussion is in progress? Should I wait for a lull in a channel before posting?
sage tendon
I believe you just caused the start of the end of the universe
deep osprey
Depending on your perspective, everything is the start of the end of the universe
tulip orbit
if theres an active conversation, I usually wait. But you dont have to, so long as off-topic doesnt mean it shouldnt be asked in that channel
just less likely to get an answer if people are busy on another discussion
thorny dock
I would wait for a lull in the channel not because it's really etiquette, but because you have a higher chance of your question being ignored and lost to the void in most channels. There are some channels like #cinematics where you can have your question cook for a few days before getting answered, #ue4-general sometimes has lots of questions fly by unanswered
Also if you have a serious question you want a lot of good input on, as opposed to a quick-ish question, I would definitely recommend the forums, as you would get a higher quality answer over time

just gotta name it right in blender, and get the right checkboxes checked on import

oh wtf. its working. I was under the impression it creates a separate mesh import specifically for the collision mesh
it doesn't create the separate collision mesh asset, its only listed in the collision objects section of the mesh
that'd be a nice bit of info to add in the docs
tulip orbit
information in the documents? 🤔

the info suggests that it will import the collision mesh as a separate asset

Can you carry a puppy in your inventory?

Once upon a time we were all monkeys living in the forest. We started to become human and walked out of the forest into the plains. We are visible to our prey and predators, therefore to survive or thrive in this environment we need to work together.
Those who don't work together are cast out. The opposite of this is altruism. However if we give everything we have we are left with nothing. Therefore the objective is to appear altruistic without actually being altruistic.
However there is one critical issue with this; body language and facial expression. We can innately read a lot from these things, so towards the goal of appearing altruistic we need to believe it ourselves, so we don't give away our greed or the truth - especially to ourselves.
You will notice if you try and reflect on who you really are in-depth in this regard that your mind drifts and closes itself off. Like looking into a clear stream that becomes murky when you prod around.
This means the ultimate human objective is greed while appearing to be anything but, and because this is the epitome of success within our society we compete by exposing this in others, and respond to this accusation as if it applies to people other than ourselves, and when confronted we become angry.
Therefore, no one is fit to lead, regardless of gender. Our entire existence is a ruse.

I will support the Amazon way, and then use force to lock Jeff Beezo in a small cell and take his money away for him for being such a leech on mankind.

@north torrent I agree to some extent, I'm only 22, but I'm not a fool. I never claimed to have figured out how the world works entirely, but I do have v1.0 of my own mental model of the world. few things are true. Money runs the world, we are resource-oriented animal. Women are attracted to power, not bullies, but power. People are selfish, everything they do do to satisfy their own needs. Money solves pretty much all problems except Love & Health, you cant buy that, but money can help even there. To get love first give love. Health is pretty simple in modern world, exercise 30 min a day eat lots of greens and veggies generally speaking healthy.

US business decided it was time for the contractors to take over but really it still costs the US people a hell of alot of money you just dont see it cuz its under the bit in the graph where it says "Military"
north torrent
I'm not in the US but I vote in every election.
pearl elk
In the days of the space race the US spent alot of money and some groups, like people of colour, though it was a silly venture because they needed that money for basics like food and clothing. They thought the idea of a white guy on the moon was a waste

@pearl elk
NASA's budget expanded by more than 85% from 1998 through 2021.
https://www.thebalance.com/nasa-budget-current-funding-and-history-3306321
pearl elk
so over time NASAs funding got tightened, disasters like Challenger did nothing to cement the safety of the shuttles so there was this ongoing fear which over took the earlier excitement of the Space Race
Im talking about before you were born, NASA got hit hard
green horizon
even if you adjust their budget for inflation it still has been growing few % a year, and we are talking about billions so its not a small increase in real value
pearl elk
It never fully recovered, the US is still largely scared to send anyone further than the ISS
green horizon
ok Im out of lounge, @slow gyro made a good point, whole lotta things happening here, shit storm of topics. its fun to stop by during lunch 🙂 have fun guys
pearl elk
thats why its all robots for the most part and a larger budget cuz they dont want to lose humans, thats where most of it goes. Losing an astronaut in space would probably end it tbh

You should look into what the Russians paid for their end of the space race compared to the US. Id say I know who won that one 😛

Well, in the closing days of the USSR the KGB managed to steal about half the wealth of Russia and most of that money has never been recovered.

I like how the Russian Space Agency shouted out Elon Musk

They have probably been slowly laundering it across the world, or using it to manipulate people. In Donald T Rump's case, both.
Money laundering is such an odd topic...

even that is easy if everything works normally
landing with mouse is even harder than with a joystick

and not having a real instrument panel.
using dedicated buttons and knobs must be a lot easier to work with than a god damn keyboard and joystick
cheaper than airliner setup

abstract haven
does anyone know of some phone with a rear-facing LIDAR camera? something which could be used for photogrammetry
ebon onyx
The new ipad?
abstract haven
ah yeah
that one has one, but its not a phone : (
I want something I can use on the go
ebon onyx
Might need to just buy a proper camera and do it the normal way
abstract haven
well
it's more like when I am travelling I would like to get a rough scan of the form
and then I can model over it
ebon onyx
Drive one of those google maps cars
abstract haven
lol
ebon onyx
Or just use google maps
abstract haven
I am pretty sure the google maps 3D view is done via LiDAR
ebon onyx
It's not, they just had a bunch of cameras
At least the street view stuff
The satellite stuff is obviously satellite
abstract haven
yeah, for the street view I think its cameras
well they have seperate scans - street view (with cars), city view (lidar drone scan) and satellite view
this kind of stuff
ebon onyx
Thought city view was still satellite? Would be hard to fly a drone into the mountains
Battery life alone would be a dealbreaker
abstract haven
I'm not sure man, I know they can generate the heightmap from the satellite scans, but the accuracy is usually around 30m
there's a bunch of cities they slowly have been adding more data to
so I think that's drone scan stuff
ebon onyx
Right. And the city view stuff is usually trash quality. Maybe as a whole it's satellite and then for popular cities they're refining the data manually?
abstract haven
for example, there was a point in time, where you could see terrain height as meshes, but cities were just flat images
yeah, its pretty blocky, I am pretty sure they just crunch the lidar data and turn it into a low-res mesh
ebon onyx
Either way, once you get into that price point, you're talking at least a couple dozen thousand dollars of equipment
The drone alone is probably around $12k
abstract haven
yeah
I dont need to do that though, I just want a lidar scanner on my phone so I can scan in some human-scale objects pretty quickly
ebon onyx
Proper lidar is expensive and pretty sure the ipad is the first to have it on the consumer level, period
At least for handheld devices
Unless you get into stuff like the lytro camera
But nobody likes the lytro
abstract haven
dunno how easy it is to just get the raw data from the scanner though\
you probably need to make a custom app
abstract haven
yeah, I am not sure how exposed the functions are, or how well you can controll the granularity etc of the sensor
ebon onyx
For most things, that sort of data just seems worthless to me tbh. It's so low res that you would be better off just tracing a photo with the create polygon tool
Aka the old way of doing it
abstract haven
well, it's just an extra dimension of data to the scan, so it's going to improve accuracy
its basically like a depth buffer

One of my students asked the most important question ever...
Can vampires get the corona-virus from drinking blood?
sage tendon
vampires arent alive, so the virus would die out very quick
so yes but no too I guess
mossy nexus
Yes, but since they are undead, they don't have a functioning respiratory system and will be unaffected
mossy nexus
yup
sage tendon
so they dont breath?
mossy nexus
yup
sage tendon
then how do they talk?
mossy nexus
the same way that makes them move and think

that would also explains why they have no mirror reflection, they aren't really there 😮

You aren't really there, Mr. Remco.
thorny dock
For the record, they say covid can't be transferred by mosquitos, but I like that the virus couldn't live in an undead better
I have no mirror reflection but I thought it's because mirrors don't like to render me
mossy nexus
vampires not having a reflection is just a glitch in the simulation.
KInda like the "We are living in a simulation" idea. It would explain all the crazy in the world. It's like an intern made some changes when no one was looking and royally messed it up.

with geforce RTX i can finally make money on gamedev??
technically. with rtx gpu you can render faster in blender.
and with this, you could in theory publish content faster.

thus you could create for example daily stuff fo rothers
lets say a cgi comedy short series. every 2nd day on youtube.
WOOPS
thanks to rtx rendering you can render this very fast 🙂
