😭 @tardy ibex

how to make handle

[sterile rivet]

ntw our uhhhh

beloved

[tawny flare]

nvm i figured out

[ebon bear]

does it work?

no

[tawny flare]

it does...

[kindred kettle]

hashtag rblx dev or whatever

[ebon bear]

I am the spy

[kindred kettle]

took like around 8 or so hour

[frosty bluff]

PHANTOMFORCE

[spark obsidian]

how did you do this

holy

[kindred kettle]

either future or faked it

[jovial thunder]

how are them light rays bending

[tawdry fox]

Is that a combonation of future, a texture, AND beams?

Thats hella cool.

[tawny flare]

so

[kindred kettle]

i need to stop fucking around

[main tusk]

Bethesda gun design

[tawny flare]

texture it !!

[kindred kettle]

NO

[tawny flare]

do it!!

second pic because this looks cool

[kindred kettle]

texturing is for chumps

[tawny flare]

LIES!!!

[kindred kettle]

[kindred kettle]

shading error

[naive elm]

does pacific drive happen to be a reference for this

[worn apex]

testing stuff

[spark obsidian]

pls tell me how this works

[main tusk]

A magician never reveals his secret

[tawny flare]

idk how fix

[ebon bear]

Yes

It the gateway

[tawny flare]

finished

[kindred kettle]

add loop cuts and what not

[kindred kettle]

wip

[kindred kettle]

soma i think

[tawny flare]

shotgun with underbarrel grenade launcher jdjsjdbdnn

[tawny flare]

how do you make the stock go like tha

[kindred kettle]

erm

alot of patience really

[tawny flare]

i was gonna make that stock too but uh

spent all my energy on fixing the shading issues (did not fix it fully)

[kindred kettle]

i started from the back of the reciever thenbasically extruded a bunch until here

[tawny flare]

ohh

make sense

[kindred kettle]

then i took. these vertices

extruded them

made them a bit slimmer

and then whazzam

[tawny flare]

amazing

i will now grab your method into my book of methods

[kindred kettle]

for the end of the stock i basically did this then loop tools circled it

idk how i made a decent looking stock tbh

this is my first wooden stock without help

[tawny flare]

imean the buttstock is easy

i was mainly curious about the middle part

[kindred kettle]

ur welcome mr sir

[sterile rivet]

I tried also making a wooden stock for a shotgun

it was painful and i stopped trying

[kindred kettle]

🗣️

[sterile rivet]

So now it just has a pistol grip

[kindred kettle]

this was my first attempt at a shotgun styled stock (and really my first model

oh to be so unaware of how bad this was

[sterile rivet]

what is that quad doing there 😭

[kindred kettle]

basically if you have ever had the (misfortune) of making a stock in studio

i basically did that

[sterile rivet]

i am going to cry

[kindred kettle]

it was 2 years ago

ok

[sterile rivet]

I honestly do kind of dig the look it has now though

[kindred kettle]

what is what that loop cut

[tawny flare]

how do people make grips...

[kindred kettle]

Idk

[sterile rivet]

segmenting trick

[tawny flare]

my biggest nemesis

[kindred kettle]

i just get half cylinder that is squished

[tawny flare]

grips..

[kindred kettle]

then extrude basically

[tawny flare]

oh yeah me too

subdivison..

[kindred kettle]

imagine subd....

[sterile rivet]

i make a cube and then sculpt that into a grip-shaped grip

[tawny flare]

subdivision best for grips real.!!!

[sterile rivet]

and then bevel the edges to round them

(the topology is very nice imo)

[tawny flare]

its effective tho..

[kindred kettle]

Vro...

[tawny flare]

yum

[kindred kettle]

you do not need to bevel that much

[sterile rivet]

it's not a game asset

i just made it for fun

[tawny flare]

you should learn texture

PLEASE!

[kindred kettle]

i should

[sterile rivet]

trust me
it hurt using a bevel resolution with double digits

[kindred kettle]

but uv wrapping is for CHUMPS...

[sterile rivet]

i am used to 3 being the max

[tawny flare]

bro

[kindred kettle]

that is so real

[sterile rivet]

i will learn you people to unwrap

[tawny flare]

my uv unwrapping process is just

select sharp edges

make them seams

[kindred kettle]

make evertthing geometry and then vertex painting it 🗣️

[tawny flare]

unwrap

[sterile rivet]

bro at that point

[tawny flare]

conpress

[sterile rivet]

just use smart uv projection

less clicks

[tawny flare]

substance painter

voila

[tawny flare]

i have bad memory with it...

so no

[sterile rivet]

it is a mess

i do not recommend it

[tawny flare]

can u show me topo of dials..

[sterile rivet]

if i texture things
i make sure to unwrap it properly

[tawny flare]

this is cool

[sterile rivet]

trust me my game development teacher did NOT let me stop unwrapping shit until I did it correctly

[tawny flare]

thank GOD those are seperate mesh

[kindred kettle]

game development teacher..?

[tawny flare]

tfw

[kindred kettle]

i may be dumb but im not stupid

[sterile rivet]

I took a game development course at my college

[kindred kettle]

yaponomics

[sterile rivet]

i dropped out because it was horrible
but i did learn some things

one of which being that I HATE unreal

[kindred kettle]

omg

did u use unreal

[tawny flare]

saves so much time

[kindred kettle]

im so sorry for you

[sterile rivet]

I did

i was forced to

[tawny flare]

god bless your soul

[sterile rivet]

i am trying to seek refuge in unity right now

because i am not going back to roblox

[kindred kettle]

just use like

godot

[sterile rivet]

eh

[tawny flare]

riek

[sterile rivet]

i don't plan on making money with it so i have no good reason not to unity

[tawny flare]

@kindred kettle can u show me your muzzle brake topikogy

topigloy

tpolflgo

topology

fucking finally

[kindred kettle]

pretty mid but it works good enough

[sterile rivet]

I smell booleans

[tawny flare]

i mean

[kindred kettle]

the cylinders were loop tools

[tawny flare]

aint no way toure making yhat without booleans..

[sterile rivet]

the ngons...

[kindred kettle]

in reality literally 0 people will care

[kindred kettle]

stop the n gon hate

[sterile rivet]

so true!!!

[sterile rivet]

oh i use those things a lot too

[tawny flare]

my muzzle brake looks so ass because the circles can be made with loop tools

[kindred kettle]

ok good ur not a quad sucker

[sterile rivet]

quad snob

[tawny flare]

no one cares about the small shading issues...

[tawny flare]

flat ngons is the meta

[kindred kettle]

i had a guy crying to me basically coping about how there were ngons on this flat reciever

(it has weighted normal mod anyways so theres no issues basically

[sterile rivet]

ask a quad lover to model a cheese wedge (he won't know what a triangle is)

[tawny flare]

afrikaans sniper

[tawny flare]

mfs gonna bevel the edges

gonna make a rifle tmr

[sterile rivet]

flat ngons my beloved

[tawny flare]

probably bullpup Barrett because it looks silly

[sterile rivet]

the m82a2?

[kindred kettle]

ohhh the m95 i think

trust

[tawny flare]

too bad i cant use them alot since substance painter will fuck me up if theres a 4773828 vert ngon

[sterile rivet]

this one right

[kindred kettle]

tragedy

[tawny flare]

yes

[sterile rivet]

just try ctrl+t and then alt+j on everything before exporting it

[tawny flare]

nah id modifier: triangulate

[kindred kettle]

also which axis do you guys use as your forward axis

[sterile rivet]

it triangulates everything and then turns all available triangles back into quads

[sterile rivet]

all of them.

[tawny flare]

i use xyz

[kindred kettle]

z axis ohhh

[tawny flare]

and i use radians

im acoustic

[worn apex]

[tawny flare]

why barrel short

[kindred kettle]

idk

just is

[tawny flare]

what shotgun are you making again

[kindred kettle]

this one

remington 870

[tawny flare]

ohh now it looks better

from that angle the barrel looks really short

[kindred kettle]

it is done

[tawny flare]

does the sight work...

[kindred kettle]

yeah

[tawny flare]

nice

mine doesnt

nice model as always

now textu

[kindred kettle]

NO..

[tawny flare]

why

[kindred kettle]

don't feel like it

[kindred kettle]

Holy shit

the M82A1 (or 2 i frogot)

[sterile rivet]

it's the a2

[rose bramble]

yo the M82A2 you're actually making it

brandon hererra would be proud

[tawny flare]

yes!!!

[neon obsidian]

https://streamable.com/cyjv8u
video too large so i post it on streamable but i wanted to make a planet with the best of my abilities in roblox studio, this is the result

everything you see here (except the rings and moon, the moon is just literally a default material lol) is made by me, the planet's surface terrain, clouds, and atmosphere.

[hoary orchid]

omfg xero

that's amazing

[neon obsidian]

thank ya!!!

[hoary orchid]

like it's been a crazy few years since targeted plutonium

since that's probably the only reason base tools exists in it's current state

you're probably the reason i ever became a dev for a grou

[lusty walrus]

the transition in textures is jarring enough that I really want to make an easter egg about it

[lusty walrus]

that's ludicrous, great job!

[neon obsidian]

this, honestly means alot to me, i am glad to give you a starting passion in game dev

[neon obsidian]

thank you

[stoic tapir]

Absolutely amazing

[tawny flare]

forbidden cheese grater

[lusty walrus]

Feels too rounded for a cheese grater, forbidden fence mayhaps?

[tawny flare]

true...

[pliant knot]

BFG 50 ?

[tawny flare]

wrong

[pliant knot]

Hm

Def a sniper

[tawny flare]

barrett yes

[pliant knot]

Didn't remember barrett having that round barrel

[tawny flare]

say hi to the M82A2

[crystal grail]

that's beautiful

because it's a firearm

I love firearms!!!!!!

🇺🇸 🦅 🔥

[tawny flare]

we all do

[pliant knot]

Omg why does the stock look awful

[tawny flare]

if youre talking about the thing next to the magazine then its not that awful

[pliant knot]

Eh idk

The way it looks is weird

[kindred kettle]

because

its shoulder fired

ur shoulder goes where the stock is

[rose bramble]

AKA the "Helicopter Killer"

[rose bramble]

it's an IRL gun and it's shoulder-fired

it was originally designed to shoot down helicopters until the government stopped ordering them

(only 10 were made according to Brandon Herrera)

[peak lodge]

Does anyone know what editing software is used to make these text textures?

[sharp apex]

i think anomalousbob makes textures for qserf
you could ask in dev-qna in qcod

[peak lodge]

Dev-qna is locked for some reason for me

I cant see the channel

[sharp apex]

read sst-faq

[peak lodge]

Got it, Thanks!

[worn apex]

[neon obsidian]

from far away that looks sick

[hearty temple]

wow

looks amazing

[sterile rivet]

Thank you!

I still plan on weathering and shading it

[sterile rivet]

This is my reference in case you're wondering

[pearl loom]

This is sick

🔥

[brazen crag]

damn actually weathering this time?

[sterile rivet]

Yes

[worn apex]

roblox version

[ebon bear]

maybe give it suspension, steering after finish the hull

[brazen crag]

bro

[ebon bear]

[tawny flare]

wrong internals be like

[rigid notch]

anti aircraft barret prototype never launched😔

bulpupped my barret guys!!!!

[main tusk]

That's far from bullpupped

[hoary orchid]

That's fucking epic.

[fleet bobcat]

Erm, this is Roblox, not a AAA game

In all honesty though, how, just how did you get it to look like..... That

(I'm jealous af)

[paper falcon]

Relatively big part added to the map
their purpose according to reference: holding a fucking pipe

[carmine flame]

seems reasonable

[naive elm]

"mounting in progress..."

[ashen star]

How would you make leaves on roblox studio, and water that dosent cause you to swim

[copper marsh]

woah that looks impressive

[glacial falcon]

you can disable terrain water swimming through humanoid states I believe

for leaves, like particle emitters maybe?

[carmine flame]

other side

[naive elm]

@burnt salmon I think you were one of the people that talked with me about Roblox players not being removed

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/new-player-and-character-destroy-behavior/2711317

[hoary orchid]

yeah i just found that

[burnt salmon]

Nice to know thanks

Been working on my art more, this is my first drawing that I've colored

[ebon bear]

Enola gay

[orchid topaz]

what do u yall think of the "your fucked" power outage sound effect for my horror game

[kindred kettle]

wip

[tawny flare]

how

[mystic pawn]

scale your textures down in a different software like paint.net down to 1024x1024 pixels using whatever way looks the best for your textures

[tawny flare]

oh

[tawny flare]

i texture on 1024x1024 lo

[mystic pawn]

it wont work for that then

scaling your textures down is really only an option if your textures are bigger than 1024x1024

[tawny flare]

4k textures in roblox 🙏

[mystic pawn]

no way to get higher quality textures unfortunately

[quaint sentinel]

blame it on the mobile users

[tawny flare]

unless you seperate your mesh in 69 maps

[quaint sentinel]

(they're the cause of the roblox engine lagging/lacking on every single aspect)

[tawny flare]

chat is this real

[quaint sentinel]

we would have nice things such as indirect lighting but the mobile users can't deal with that

(mobile users make up a huge size of the roblox players so i dont know what to say after this)

[tawny flare]

true..

[mystic pawn]

pixelated pbr textures actually dont look that bad

[ebon bear]

look like something for a PS1 game

[mystic pawn]

and they get around the whole non-high quality texture problem

[tawny flare]

i had to scale up the text

[mystic pawn]

by being super low quality

[tawny flare]

right

[mystic pawn]

thought that was real for a sec

[tawny flare]

lol

Except for some reason they brought it into the world

[orchid topaz]

what do yall think of the pinewood computer core generator room recreation

[jagged grotto]

Cool

[orchid topaz]

thank you

[jovial thunder]

pbcc if it was an infra map when???

[kindred kettle]

Done!!!!!!!!!!

[fading spire]

MMMM cheese grater

[dawn mantle]

thoughts?

(im not a very good modeller ik)

gauge moves and lights randomly light up

[sharp apex]

au contraire this looks pretty well made

consistent and not overdetailed

[stark dune]

Tried to recreate the qserf walkways in my own style, feedback would be appreciated

[orchid topaz]

to many lamps

[orchid topaz]

remove every other lamp and make the lights brighter

[ebon bear]

Man why there are some people doing this

[kindred kettle]

just one more light

[ebon bear]

making the sun right now

[dawn mantle]

guys what do we think about the Magnetic Allingment Unit (TM)

[dawn mantle]

made it round

[kindred kettle]

gizmo

[stark dune]

Honestly, this was my first attempt... I didn't even know that it was this big of a problem ;-;

[worn apex]

Easiest way is to add sharpen to a 1k texture and have good uv unwrapping and not use smart unwrap

[paper falcon]

if lighting gets used improperly it can affect game performance a lot

[random reef]

OLD QSERF (2019) suffers from this.

[paper falcon]

never played so cant confirm

[dawn mantle]

made a infinite backrooms game once and bro i had 8+ lighting elements per room

the lag was crazy

[paper falcon]

wtf

[dawn mantle]

needless to say i reduced that to like 2

surface ligt + point light lol

(each tile used to have 4 lights lmfao

[fading spire]

@ebon bear

You might interested

[dawn mantle]

this is the placefile if anyone wants to use it ig

it comes with a free spooky boi

[ebon bear]

nah

not interesting enough

[dawn mantle]

D:

[ebon bear]

Yeah it true

[dawn mantle]

fair enough lol i made this thing in like 2 days as a side project for testing inf dungeons lmao

[fading spire]

Chunk generation

[dawn mantle]

not really, just rooms, they can be anysize and shape as long as the follow a grid of 20 studs

why 20?

idk

just chose that lmfao

[fading spire]

Real

Least it look decent

I have backroom models but I'm afraid I'm not on computer

Look boring anyways

[random reef]

You weren't around in 2019?

[paper falcon]

nope

started devin in 2020

[merry stag]

How do I fix this with my tool?

[sterile rivet]

Is the card still anchored?

[glacial falcon]

Name the main part of your tool "Handle" and unanchor it if it is anchored

[merry stag]

no

[merry stag]

It is named handle and its not anchored idk what the problem is

[glacial falcon]

Handle must be directly under the tool, can't be in a model

[merry stag]

It works now

Thanks

[lusty walrus]

My current setup uses 2-4 surface lights per tile, but there is only 1 shadow casting light

[random reef]

Yeah, the less lights the best. Each light has to do shadowmap calculations and everything. It's even worse on future lighting.

[copper marsh]

made my first hair accessory

Quite happy with it

very slick

[dawn mantle]

very slick indeed

[lusty walrus]

Looks better than 80% of the other more male oriented hairs, good job!

[copper marsh]

thanks!

[glacial falcon]

Very cool and very slick

[kindred kettle]

iron sights and bipod

[hoary nacelle]

W.I.P Pipe burst task (Made the script alongside with TZ_Godspeed)

[kindred kettle]

[lusty walrus]

the swelling looks a lil' weird

but outside of that it looks good!

[vale crescent]

never quite finished this stylized gemd control room. the gemd itself is taken from my old sst application from last year. maybe i'll return someday but i'd like it to see the light

[dawn mantle]

for reference with my current plans, the game should be roughly 1/4th or 1/5th QSERF's size today

rough outline of what the whole sequence is gonna look like (music, VXF)

[worn apex]

a shieldless rs-25 variant and a variant 1 on an unfinished & badly unwrapped sls body

[tardy dew]

i am convinced this is not roblox

what game are u makin?

[ebon bear]

It roblox

It only look good if you know how to do it right

[tardy dew]

damn right

what you makin it for?

[prisma bay]

ok

need Thoughts / Ideas / Suggestions / What have you. : )

[lusty walrus]

would be cool to see some variance on the shelves

something like slight rotation, and mayhaps some more detail on the floor

[prisma bay]

any ideas you have in mind for the detail?

[dawn mantle]

more color contrast, theres too many bright colors across the whole room, maybe add some gray accents to the walls or floor?

also variation in the shelves like RPD said

[dawn mantle]

better worded: walls and floor look kinda plain

maybe try removing a few of the units on the shelves, kinda like how you'd make a bookshelf,

and also good tip in general for facility games: add as much tiny detail as possible, this means sticky notes on machines, posters and warning signs, visible wires, potted plants, ETC

i recommend making a layout for some common decorative objects, kinda like this

high attention to detail will always be what makes or break a game, this goes with both decoration and gameplay

hopes this helps!

[prisma bay]

thank you :)

[prisma bay]

somewhat like this?

[dawn mantle]

thats good, but make sure it stays consitent with the rest of the facility, i was more or less thinking of accents along the walls

like how this door has gray stripes at different heights

[prisma bay]

ah, i see

[dawn mantle]

also I suggest getting some custom textures off websites like https://ambientcg.com/list, or you can find some texture packs in the creator store

typically the default textures arent the greates

GUYS

GUYS

ITS HERE

OCCLUSION CULLING IS HERE

WE ARE SAVED

CRAPPY FRUSTUM CULLING IS NO MORE!

OCCLUSION CULLING IS OUR NEW BEST FRIEND

[lusty walrus]

Yummy

[dawn mantle]

WDYM YUMMY THIS SHIT IS AMAZING

[prisma bay]

ok (2)

[dawn mantle]

mesa like, but i still think the walls need decoration (electrical boxes, posters, just something to break it up)

otherwise, all i'd say is left is to add some variation to the racks and thats about it

[dawn mantle]

maybe pipes aswell (thats one of my go-tos lol)

when it comes to pipes this plugin is like your best friend lmao

https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/5027226818/Pipe-Placer?keyword=pipe+placer&pageNumber=1&pagePosition=0

[ebon bear]

For me...

for me, i DO not approve this

making your own pipes is will be much better

Also mesh curve cylinder will be much better to connecting pipes instead of a sphere

but if you like to use it then sure

[dawn mantle]

yeah, but i dont like having to use blender if i dont have to soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

sphere pipes go BRRRRRRRRRRRR

we love 90 degree angle turns. it just makes the flowrate that much better

[paper falcon]

simple and shitty turret placement system for a school project

(the only reason we have to throw them is because this is meant to be played in VR, i just have a good premade player controller that can throw shit)

[sterile rivet]

Jalven whatever it is you're making, i like the visual style a lot

[pearl loom]

this is FIRE

[dawn mantle]

reel

[hushed shell]

Does anyone know what font does this use

[paper falcon]

its a psx styled tower defence

which i'll probably develop further once handed in as an assignment

[sterile rivet]

psx style my beloved

[dawn mantle]

thoughts? (will probably add palletes)

[naive elm]

old thing i built for someone

id show the more modern screenshots but i was kicked from the team 😭

[naive elm]

managed to grab an old recovery file

they're all unions yes

this was before blender

[dawn mantle]

i unironically model like this, my games are too small to worrybout union performance

[naive elm]

looking back at these models, they're inconsistent

i also remember struggling to make them

[jovial thunder]

before blender?

[naive elm]

yes

[jovial thunder]

you mean before you used blender?

[dawn mantle]

yeah, i should probably start using blender soon

[naive elm]

yeah

[jovial thunder]

ok cause i know the blender to roblox pipeline existed long before future lighting

[dawn mantle]

btw just for reference, how hard is texturing in blender? or just basic coloring really

[jovial thunder]

honestly do not understand how people use unions for anything that isnt a hole in a brick

[jovial thunder]

well i dont really texture, i've been kinda slow on development so i just make large meshes that i can reuse in building

[dawn mantle]

i see

[naive elm]

all of my friends dont do it in blender

they use a paid (literally made by adobe) service called Substance 3D

[dawn mantle]

pirating tiem!

[jovial thunder]

cant really beat the substance bros

[naive elm]

morally correct

[dawn mantle]

reel

[jovial thunder]

everyone here seems to be using it nowadays

personally i know there are ways to make good procedural textures in blender, i just need to make some and then bake the textures

[paper falcon]

we have a functioning turret now

[quick vault]

https://youtu.be/Ndk4txFsm3Y?si=lk5zXJaTWQHRB5WM

[kindred kettle]

nobody textures solely in blender but doing flat colors isn't too hard

[paper falcon]

Blender is basic coloring; if you want detailed textures you'll want software like Substance Painter

[pearl loom]

that wasnt even a tank

that was a humvee

[ebon bear]

not that

when she was on the humvee, she did look outside

[pearl loom]

imagine if america pulled up with M1A2 abrams

[ebon bear]

i should make this one day

[pearl loom]

do you mind if i join you and check out your build

[ebon bear]

yes

[pearl loom]

is that a yes you can or yes i mind

[ebon bear]

join if you want

[lofty lynx]

I thought that was real for a second

This project has been going for almost a year

im was too busy or lazy to finish it anywayy thanks ❤️

[teal loom]

biblically accurate qserf?

[sterile rivet]

nah, just a portal 2 map

[kindred kettle]

L22A2 finished

[jagged grotto]

[kindred kettle]

next project is L85A2

then cag handguards

then after that...

idk!

EM-2 or BAR maybe

[mystic pawn]

[dawn mantle]

billboard GUI bloom go BRRRRRRRR

nah legit though i wish roblox just made that feture so we dont have to bother with billboard guis

[mystic pawn]

it isnt billboard gui

its particleemitters

it looks better

but it uh

may lag a bit more

[dawn mantle]

lmao

[mystic pawn]

dont lean on the railings please we didnt have enough money to pay for osha compliant railings

[lament heath]

I use unions to do that or make 2 parts have 1 texture when it’s so bloody obvious they’re overlapping or their textures blatantly change from each other and I’m too lazy to fix it

only problem is

I have no blender experience

[kindred kettle]

just learn it

[dawn mantle]

iffy on this design rn, there will be a logo in the center right above the door eventually but for now idk

[lusty walrus]

posters are usually my go to for empty walls

[dawn mantle]

yeah was thinkign that aswell

[lusty walrus]

some posters, shelves or other decor would help with the walls

could even be a stain

[lusty walrus]

I think a logo would help with the metal on the top, but the sides by the door do need some work, yeah

[dawn mantle]

i think its rack time.

[lusty walrus]

what shall you put on thy racks?

[dawn mantle]

servers, among other things

also i just remembered i had a crate model lmfao

[lusty walrus]

crates would def help

[dawn mantle]

crates in the corner when in doubt

[lusty walrus]

truly a gamedev moment

[dawn mantle]

thinking of putting either a pallete leaned up against the wall next to the dejavu sign or maybe a potten plant

[lusty walrus]

do a dead tree

[dawn mantle]

mmmm

maybe

lines yeg or neg?

[lusty walrus]

ye

[lusty walrus]

you can mabye get away without a plant with that decal

[dawn mantle]

maybe maybe maybe

[mystic pawn]

seriously does anyone know how to damage text and images

[dawn mantle]

wdym damage?

[mystic pawn]

like

make text and images look like it's been scratched and damaged

[dawn mantle]

have the text as a decal and edit in an image editor, or overlay a image/decal overqtop the text to obscure parts of it

[lusty walrus]

that would prob have to be done in a third party program

[mystic pawn]

yes I know but what program

[lusty walrus]

you can do it using a scratch image, or do it with a brush in any basic program

[dawn mantle]

pixlr.com is a good free one

and web based

[lusty walrus]

could do it in gimp, paint, krita, paint.net, or as RE said pixlr

[mystic pawn]

well how to like have the scratched parts be transparent

ive got paint.net

[lusty walrus]

layer

put the scratch on a diff layer

[mystic pawn]

what blending type do I use

[lusty walrus]

in this example its normal

just tweak till it looks right, I normally use normal, but it just depends on what you need it for

[mystic pawn]

that doesnt make the scratch marks transparent though

[lusty walrus]

lower opacity

[orchid topaz]

i feel you

[merry stag]

Where did you learn to model guns, I want to know how to model guns

[kindred kettle]

i know this sounds obvious but...

practice...?

ive been doing it for 5 years lol

[merry stag]

Dang that's a long time

[kindred kettle]

2 of those have been in blender

i spent 3 years in roblox studio (these are all made in roblox studio

[merry stag]

Wow

[kindred kettle]

but these were some of my earliest guns that i made

back when i was like. around 12 years old lol

one of these models are still in an active game (that has around 5 million visits

and these are some of my earliest blender models

[ashen star]

Whats a good modeling software, thats easy to use

[main tusk]

Easy to use... BAHAHAHAH!

Good one!

[fleet bobcat]

amazing joke

[naive elm]

easy to use? I'd say blender
look into CAD software (what the engineers use) and you'll agree with me

blender is easy but it has a steep learning curve

two basic things you need to do:

• learn what tools it offers to make your life easier
• all the shortcuts you need to know so you don't have to dig through menus to find what you need

it's not that hard once you can piece together what tools you need to make a mesh

I was shit and thought I'd never get good at it
I made one model I really liked
and then all of my models look good

it's just a matter of practise

[ashen star]

Thanks SG!! :3

[vestal jackal]

no way i have been looking for those sounds for so long

[kindred kettle]

halftracks are fucking ugly man!!!

[main tusk]

I was calling the volvo ugly

which it is an ugly truck

[surreal vine]

Euro volvos >>>>>

[naive elm]

I come from Europe but I've always liked the design of American tractors more

[ebon bear]

😎

what a collection

[sterile rivet]

boowomp

[main tusk]

If you're gonna like American semi trucks then at least enjoy a freightliner, or western star

not some ugly ass elongated cab over

[sharp apex]

freightliner/ws feels too corporate/fleet-built
peterbilt/kenworth does it better imo

the latters are easier to model anyway

sharp lines <3

[naive elm]

sharp 💔

also im the kinda person that likes simplified logos

[naive elm]

ok hear me out

edison motors

[sharp apex]

the train guys??

genuinely never heard of em

[naive elm]

they're a newer automotive company based in Canada

one of their primary things are diesel electric semi tractors

https://www.edisonmotors.ca/

[sharp apex]

wait nvm i got mixed up with emd yea

edison is that electric company in ny 😭

[naive elm]

we had an electric company in Cali named Edison too lmao

I love these things

[sharp apex]

dayum that looks good

EDISON MOTORS MENTION!!

I FUCKING LOVE EDISON MOTORS!!

[naive elm]

I ALSO LOVE EDISON MOTORS!!

speaking of which...

I need to get the BDE mod for ats...

[jovial thunder]

aint edison motors that company that made that fake ass truck that they rolled down a hill and then edited the video to make the ground flat as if the truck is actually moving itself?

nevermind it was called nikola motors

[ocean roost]

blender pros or even novices help me

default blender cube faces are all just one face, no interior or exterior

(I'm just starting out blender now)

how the heck do I delete only the interior face (select interior faces doesn't work)

[kindred kettle]

Wdym

Actually I figured what u meant

@ocean roost

[ocean roost]

yeah forgot to mention that one too

I want to export this to studio and I don't think that actually deletes interior faces

rather just hides them

[kindred kettle]

It doesnt need to be deleted

Because

face orientation

If this was exported

It would look like this

[ocean roost]

oh

[kindred kettle]

Silly goober...

[ocean roost]

yea that worked

thank you
