General discussion

[hallow sluice]

oh ok

[pallid flint]

[hallow sluice]

i thought it was the new beta version

[sharp apex]

i prob wouldnt use it

it seems so bulky

like if roblox UI designers took inspiration from F3X

slow, pain in the ass and clumsy

[hallow sluice]

yeah dont use it ive had it for like a week now

they fucked up the scrolling

now i have to cut things that i want to move

no more scrolling with things highlighted

[sharp apex]

wait are you referring to the next gen UI or just next gen explorer

cuz i kinda like the next gen explorer

it has way better search and automatic numbering for things

tho it does
Whatever The Fuck You Call This

oh i forgot about the miku music in the bg

apparently it just
selects things even tho the cursor isnt even in the window???????????

its in beta tho so im expecting that to be fixed

[hallow sluice]

next gen explorer

[hallow sluice]

honestly knowing roblox i dont think it will be fixed

[hallow sluice]

pipeworks i guess

[naive elm]

hallway

[lusty walrus]

this doesn't happen for me

but my personal gripe is they removed ctrl+shift selection

[sharp apex]

i think its cuz of how it handles alt tabbing
ive seen it happen when i do that

[lusty walrus]

I do like the child lines tho

[sharp apex]

that NEVER worked for me

[lusty walrus]

fr?

huh.

[lusty walrus]

I don't have the alt+tab issue, I alt tab all the time. are you fullscreened?

[sharp apex]

no

[lusty walrus]

hm.

idk then

[sharp apex]

its with how it handles mouse behaviour and
alt tabbing is just a theory

but im hoping they fix that post release at least

[lusty walrus]

yeah

tbh the new explorer is nice

a few QOL missing

whats really bad is the new top-bar menu

this

this is bad.

so bad

also, this is a good idea on paper, but I dislike the execution tbh

[lusty walrus]

yeah for sure

[sharp apex]

it SUCKS

as i said before

[lusty walrus]

its so spaced out, and centered

its just

ew

[sharp apex]

slow, pain in the ass and clumsy

[lusty walrus]

yeah

[sharp apex]

there may be more customization but

ew

windows 11 clone

[lusty walrus]

also the studio AI

[hallow sluice]

should i turn this on?

[lusty walrus]

depends if you want to force 3d audio or not

[carmine bronze]

Yeah who in gods name wants a top bar that is like 3x the current ones size 😭

[hallow sluice]

3d audio sounds nice

[lusty walrus]

Behold! a "potato"..?

[hallow sluice]

should i delete this monstrosity of a Administration Hallway that hasn't been changed since 2022?

[sharp apex]

if you have the motivation to remake it

[hallow sluice]

yeah im just remaking everything

ive remade almost 1/4 of all the zones currently

[sharp apex]

gl

[hallow sluice]

yeah im actually gonna need it

[hallow sluice]

the door™

[sharp apex]

that looks quite fancy

[hallow sluice]

yeah i took some inspiration from the scp doors

[sharp apex]

oh??

[hallow sluice]

mainly the secret lab one

time to weld again

[ebon bear]

weld?

[hallow sluice]

yeah i hate welding in studio

i always forget something

[ebon bear]

if they are unanchor

make them anchor

[sharp apex]

i think its for animation

[ebon bear]

oh

[sharp apex]

if you're welding instead of anchoring then thats where theres an issue

😭

welds are required for tweens or pure animation

i would CRY if someone used welds because they cant anchor

[hallow sluice]

yep

i actually despise tweening its so complicated but i have to use it

[sharp apex]

id recommend learning animations

wayy better for performance

since they're prebaked

[hallow sluice]

arent animations for rigs???

[sharp apex]

you can use them on models

[hallow sluice]

oh wait with motor6d's right?

[sharp apex]

yes

it takes a bit to get used to

[hallow sluice]

im scared to use motor6d's again after this happened

stupid gun animations

[sharp apex]

this one broke but

all with anims
no tweens

[sharp apex]

did you use a plugin

[hallow sluice]

nope

[sharp apex]

yeah i always used plugins for motor6d

[hallow sluice]

i have this one plugin but its hella buggy

[sharp apex]

welds, motor6ds and such kinda do weird things with blocks

[hallow sluice]

i just use moon animator for welding

[sharp apex]

i use https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/804263305

[hallow sluice]

alright i'll download it and give it a try!

[sharp apex]

ive never used it with rigs however

[hallow sluice]

yeah i only use motor6d's on rigs

i never animate anyways

[hallow sluice]

Ima go to bed now and worry about the unfinished code that I’m gonna forget about tomorrow

[sharp apex]

note it down somewhere

[kindred kettle]

i thought this said evil transformer

also you guys have NOTHING

on me

this could be fair but atleast unions can have lod i believe

you cant really do lod for a cube

[sharp orbit]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1274278355717455933/1352709623559229610/morshynska.gif

[naive elm]

my game has one

imo there are times when unions are acceptable

[naive elm]

this happens to be a very complex shaped floor

it's a union solely to make the textures match

[naive elm]

nvm forgor about one asset using a union

the union i was referring to

[naive elm]

already fixed

[ebon bear]

h

[naive elm]

you should hop on for a minute to see if my doors work correctly :3

[ebon bear]

where!

[naive elm]

https://www.roblox.com/games/17428965158/PATHOS-II-v2-Demo#!/about

@ebon bear b

i wish i could do this on studio but you can't delay a local player join so

[ebon bear]

let me join

[naive elm]

can yoi not 😭

[hallow sluice]

before i knew how to script i used this it was so buggy and never worked correctly lmao

[hasty jungle]

they done put scratch in roblox studio wtf

[hallow sluice]

yeah its been a plugin since like 2021 lol

and its so buggy

im glad i finally had the courage to learn lua in 2023

[hasty jungle]

my entire scripting knowledge is just "i keep googling stuff and it keeps working"

[hallow sluice]

my scripting knowledge is "if it doesn't work go onto the devfourms and 'borrow' some code"

[hasty jungle]

in the words of a wise philosopher,

hippity hoppity, your code is now my property
-dani

[hallow sluice]

wait wasnt it bippity bopity? lol i remember that joke

where is dani now

[hasty jungle]

gone

reduced to atoms

[hallow sluice]

well looks like netflix found him

[hasty jungle]

real

[hallow sluice]

this class d containment is so ass😭 time to remake it

[hallow sluice]

Alarm™

[hallow sluice]

LOL

IMA STEAL THAT

jk just downloaded it

[hallow sluice]

Progress so far

[sharp apex]

i'm scared to ask what the walls are made out of

[hallow sluice]

take a guess

[naive elm]

[sharp apex]

.25 size cylinders?

[hallow sluice]

yep

[sharp apex]

wHAT

[naive elm]

just take it 💔

[hallow sluice]

lol thanks

i love and hate unions

[carmine badge]

is there a plugin for importing player characters into Studio that preserves the accessory adjustments?

[hallow sluice]

i think moon animators character inserter does

not too sure

[carmine badge]

any free options?

[hallow sluice]

oh wait moon animator is paid now?

i had it when it was v1 so i have v2 for free

[hallow sluice]

https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/10053899733/Insert-Avatar-Fast-Character-Loader this might work

[ebon bear]

please USE texture

[hallow sluice]

yeah but where do i find textures???

like i have this kit for textures but all it has are wall textures and floor textures

[ebon bear]

Custom made

✨

[gritty terrace]

can u post the id for this?

[hallow sluice]

idk cause this is my editing software😢

[ebon bear]

rbxassetid://135901417182551

[ebon bear]

I use paintnet

I also use them to texture mesh object

[hallow sluice]

i tried paint net once couldn't find out how to snap stuff to the center

[ebon bear]

paintnet is very simple but plugins will make it even more better tho i recommend other software

[hallow sluice]

i only know how to use picsart and photoshop

[carmine badge]

Oh yep it did

Thanks man

[hallow sluice]

you're welcome!

[sharp apex]

try pbr

[ebon bear]

no

not needed

[plain silo]

how

[ebon bear]

UV mapping

[teal loom]

You can use paint.net to texture stuff?

Like how Substance does it, seeing the object in 3D or just blidnly painting

[lusty walrus]

blindly painting

[hallow sluice]

fans

[teal loom]

🥀

[hallow sluice]

do i remake this warhead model from like 2023

DAMN IT I ALSO USE ZERO MOVE FOR THIS

[lusty walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/0studs-roblox-studio-gif-25311597

[hallow sluice]

well i used to back in 2021-2022

then i realised how much of a fucking dumbass i was

i still am a dumbass

[lusty walrus]

no :)

you aren't

[hallow sluice]

sureeeeee

[hallow sluice]

uhhh stupid channel logo i made

oh the watermark thing is still there lol

i didn't even realize it when editing😭😭

[hallow sluice]

fixed the uncentered fans! It only took me 5 hours...

[humble cedar]

The Longsword-class frigate, the Auroral Atomic Corporation's next generation mass production space warship.

[hushed shell]

Looks very Expanse-like

I fw the addition of the phased array sensors and the VLS tubes

[merry stag]

Thoughts?

[civic torrent]

Well done! will say though the yellow lights are a bit too bright and so are the red

Red should be the least bright as it's the most darkest light in the dark (i.e. why the military has them)

[merry stag]

Alright

[hasty jungle]

it looks like a capital ship from STARBASE, very cool

[merry stag]

updated

is it good with the lights this way?

[civic torrent]

Turn the yellow down a bit more but then on the red just like make it so that they only illuminate the surrounding area like 5 studs

Could try turning ambient brightness to 1 or 0.5

[merry stag]

ill try

[teal loom]

.1 for the w

[lusty walrus]

Personally I use .05 and swap to .025 if needed

.1 is just slightly too big

[teal loom]

I use snap to parts

[lusty walrus]

Fair

I use it sometimes

[hasty jungle]

mood

[naive elm]

it doesn't matter when the meshes you use aren't compatible with roblox's scale

[lusty walrus]

RIP

[naive elm]

snap to vertices is the only fix

[plain silo]

I'm a .125 main

[naive elm]

0.0625 🧌

[kindred kettle]

1 stud.

[lusty walrus]

used to use this, but it got a bit annoying

[sharp apex]

seeing .388 when all ive been using is 0.25 💔

[quick vault]

Drone test

[naive elm]

LITERALLY

[hallow sluice]

My studio caps out at 0.063 lmao I have so many uncentered parts because of it

[lusty walrus]

Yeah, that's a studio thing, rounds most things to 3 decimals

[sharp apex]

gonna be using 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001
only god can stop me

[lusty walrus]

Studio*

[hallow sluice]

I wish there was a workaround

[lusty walrus]

Don't we all

[hallow sluice]

Roblox being roblox I guess

[lusty walrus]

Well, there is. Kinda. You can use a mesh

[hallow sluice]

Never giving us good updates

[lusty walrus]

Not true

New mover

And 3d sound

[hallow sluice]

I can’t get used to it

[hallow sluice]

We’ve been waiting for it for too long imo

[fleet bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/ltg-come-on-bruh-low-tier-god-gif-24715772

Please reconsider.

[hallow sluice]

Master of uncertered

[lusty walrus]

Might as well use 0, the whole point of grid is to help you center things

[neon obsidian]

is it me or am i now having a bug where regardless where my mouse is on the studio app, any time i scroll like for example scrolling explorer, studio think im scrolling through my game (zooming in and out)

it started to happen for me after studio update, and its driving me crazy

like, i would try to scroll through my materials and im actively zooming out while i scroll outside the game window

[fleet bobcat]

Weird

doesnt happen for me

[sharp apex]

might be just you
do you use the next gen explorer/UI?

[neon obsidian]

yeah, but ive been having it for a long time

its only a update yesterday when that happened

no wait no nvm i dont have it (i got confused thinking about the icon changes)

still having the current generation

[naive elm]

@burnt salmon i made a custom tween library

you can do all imaginable easings with it

and all of them can be used like so tween.new(object, easing(time, direction)) { properties }

tween.once() is equivilant to tween.new()({}):Play()

@errant pond @rapid gulch @weary raptor

[rapid gulch]

hi

[naive elm]

i also have tween.onceAndWait()

[naive elm]

code showcase

also includes my fancy signal lib

[teal loom]

Warfighter acs?

[pallid flint]

+= function()?

you ca do that??

[naive elm]

with metatables yeah

[pallid flint]

oh

yea

[naive elm]

it's how my event listeners work

[pallid flint]

i though it was a normal function

[naive elm]

inspired by c#

you can also -= to remove them

[pallid flint]

c sharp

[naive elm]

ja

[pallid flint]

wild

[naive elm]

you can call them like t.Completed(params)

also supports networking

event(params) -- (all players)
event(player, params)
event({ player, player }, params)
all work

and they all use += no matter which side you're on

[civic torrent]

What kind of software works best for sound design

[jagged grotto]

Audacity

Train!

Yes I made the model myself

[ebon bear]

ah yes printed 3D blender model

[naive elm]

none if you want professional grade imo
Foley or straight from the source is best

these for example

#1101168449855684678 message

just used a Zoom Handy Recorder to get the best quality and removed background sound

[civic torrent]

alright thanks

[jagged grotto]

Not sure why the place is lagging so hard but this is a demo of the new elevators, not yet fully scripted

[teal loom]

Really cool, though I don't really like click detectors in general

[sharp apex]

proximityprompts are kinda bulky tho

unless you're ready to make a custom proximity prompt system

[pallid flint]

Is that server sided tween?

[kindred kettle]

comparison

XM117E2 im making compared to old M4A1

[trail peak]

[jagged grotto]

that's awesome

is that for QS?

Reading the notes, they removed ctrl+shift, but added shift+arrow

I can live with this

[tawny flare]

i lov soma

amazing to see stuff about it

[kindred kettle]

done for today

[naive elm]

🔥

[stoic tapir]

thats pretty neat

In short you take a black and white image of a "grunge" texture, and overlay it over the color and text to give the effect of wear and tear

okay wtf was my discord doing that far back-
apologies

[tawdry fox]

Made this siren. Pretty cool.

[naive elm]

does anyone got a way to make this kind of text like is it a decal or is it some sort of text method I have aired

[sharp apex]

i'm pretty sure it's a decal

custom made

[rocky goblet]

does anyone have a name tag template i could use (for roblox obv)

i need one but cant be assed to make one myself rn

[naive elm]

1. use a stencil font
2. apply a wear mask to it

[hallow sluice]

roblox studio meltdown

[hearty yoke]

remade a door from 2023
needs a bit more detail on the frame but i think its good

[mystic pawn]

anyone know of a way to make the sort of gradient lighting effect that's in ultrakill? the methods ive tried dont really look good

[mystic pawn]

think I found a way

the entire area

[mystic pawn]

its giving p-2

[teal loom]

Search up fog mesh in the toolbox

Material to neon and transparency to .95 +

It has the choppy effect ultrakill has

Tho be aware those have 100k+ tris so they're only good for showcases

[plain silo]

a wear mask

where can I do this

what programs officially have this (or plugin, whatever works)

[ebon bear]

Photoshop

Paintnet have but it not going to work

[plain silo]

does it? plugin or??

[ebon bear]

It a plugin

But it hard to use

[plain silo]

elaborate hard to use

[ebon bear]

Well when it use alpha it likely doesn’t do anything or reserved

It have less options

And no guided

[naive elm]

https://photopea.com/

a mask is a black and white image:

• white is fully opaque
• black is fully transparent
• greys are transparent

you can find one online

[mystic pawn]

yeah I think I'll just stick to gradient decals

[sharp apex]

i find this quite dumb

[kindred kettle]

❌

clearly intelligent design here

[hearty yoke]

airlock wip

[hearty yoke]

think i could still add some more detail but this works for now

[naive elm]

I need to redo my airlock grr

the game used to be single player so the script was client sided

it still is

I never updated it

[hearty yoke]

oof

[hearty yoke]

okay, gonna call it here for now

[sharp apex]

warm lighting peak

[hearty yoke]

did a bit more updating, gonna ACTUALLY call it here

now i never touch this project for the next six months
(and stop clogging the thread sorryy)

[sharp apex]

no tweens, all animations
do want to thank katsumi for her information on anims in developer-qna cuz that helped a ton

[naive elm]

my doors use uh

"tweens"

as in

uh

[sharp apex]

Server to client tweening module thingymajig?

[naive elm]

nope

wrote my own tween engine

[sharp apex]

HTTPSERVICE ⁉️ 😭

[naive elm]

it's to generate IDs

that's it

[sharp apex]

oohhh

[naive elm]

roblox has no support for scripts reading UniqueId which is kinda

[sharp apex]

yeah

[naive elm]

VERY IMPORTANT when using tweens

[sharp apex]

have you benchmarked it against vanilla tweenservice

[naive elm]

no because its feature set is greater

which is why i wrote it

tweenservice didnt have what i needed

[naive elm]

and can be used like so

and yes there is (partial) property key support

so theres autofill for the properties based on the type of instance it is

[sharp apex]

fancy

[covert stag]

yeah like whyyyyyyyy

it would be really useful

[naive elm]

LITERALLY

[naive elm]

finally

the dev barrier is done

[jagged grotto]

Amazing work

[jagged grotto]

Das AWESOME

[naive elm]

thanks :3

[jagged grotto]

yw!!

[ebon bear]

Would you add L3 as an pet in this game

[naive elm]

no

[ebon bear]

Grhgehegehhehdud

Bombs away

[mystic pawn]

one set of the doors is not part of the material and can be opened, likely going to use this for the introduction

[hearty yoke]

looks neat

[gilded cedar]

im gonna need an explanation

[naive elm]

of what

[sharp apex]

how that works i guess

very fancy tho

[gilded cedar]

yeah how it works

im assuming its some
fuckery with surfaceguis

but ive only seen that effect with large distances

[naive elm]

yeah p much surface guis

[naive elm]

this version just uses a module i found

this is the script if you wanna look at it

[gilded cedar]

thanks!

[naive elm]

👍

[hallow sluice]

why do the fans feel uncentered even though they arent

[sharp apex]

maybe the terrain

or the logo?

it could be something with depth

theres mostly no light above

[storm brook]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a22QhrbO1ro

[hearty yoke]

i learned how to decal

[vague shore]

try optically aligning the fans (move them until they look centered even if they mathematically arent centered)

also random alert!!!!
-# (i am the random...)

[naive elm]

custom properties for entities

really straightforward to add them too

[naive elm]

@jagged grotto @errant pond @dusty vault i think you guys would like this

[dusty vault]

[errant pond]

Those are some cool-ass tags

[naive elm]

yup! i primarily made it because the lights in this game have a lot going for them

and changing the colour of it would take multiple steps

so i made this to do it in one step lol

[naive elm]

(cause they're decals 💔)

[jagged grotto]

Woah

like audacity or FL studio ?

[tawdry fox]

youd want to use audacity to make something sound robotic

otherwise studio has SOME features that might help

[fresh drift]

okay but what effects should i use

to get the good result

?

[tawdry fox]

i just use general effects in audacity and for roblox distortion and maybe some chorus and reverb

@naive elm This is how I use that music in my game. If an error happens that is considered critical, the server will shut down, but it plays one of a few funny effects before it kicks everyone.

[naive elm]

lmfao

[lusty walrus]

Unanchor the entire game on explosion

[vestal jackal]

a truly devious idea

[static abyss]

One of the funny shutdown things actually does unanchor a bunch of stuff, but the sound it uses got archived.

[copper marsh]

oh my god that looks SO COOL

[copper marsh]

this too

[copper marsh]

that is amazing wtf

the alarms feel a biit excessive though, they sounded great at the beginning but to be prolonged after the lockdown starts feels a bit much

[brazen crag]

thank

[hoary orchid]

i love modeling pc's because you can keep the model so low poly but make it look insanely detailed with the texture

[ebon bear]

true

[naive elm]

ran out of uploads but I did have a post lockdown alarm :/

I finally, figured out why Roblox doesn't work on Mac after over 6 weeks of trying to find solutions. Only today after a full-on reset did it give me a different error code of: SSLConnectFail

In a nutshell, Roblox Studio and the Roblox application crashed upon launch or told you to check your wifi connection. Well it wasn't that nor was it corrupt files. This was caused by an ICloud+ Feature known as Private Relay. Once you turn it off, lets you access all the Roblox services without an issue. Do want to bring attention to this on the forums but cannot post yet.

Private relay can be found in Settings --> Your Profile --> Icloud --> Private Relay --> Switch it off

Praise be the lord I can develop on the go again

the If you ever encounter an issue where the Roblox app crashes or studio just instantly closes after the screenshot below. This is most likely the issue.

[dusty vault]

interesting, i'm using private relay myself and i've had no issues.

[civic torrent]

Strange, My issue started only when I crossed borders and used a VPN to access services. Yet it persisted after a reset.

Could be something with my router or IP but i wasn't the only one who had this as that is how I found the solution.

https://open.spotify.com/track/50a3XlbPFw0Od3UGNkUf3W

[copper marsh]

Well there's your issue

SSL is a sort of handshake between internet services

It always says to check your connection because if SSL fails it's likely that you can't connect to the internet

In your case, you're using a VPN, which passes your things through a remote server

A server which could be banned from robloxs end, and thus can't connect

And more people have that issue because they also might be using a VPN, or be region locked

Why does it work when disabling that one thing? Not sure why only that would ban your VPN, if anything you're lucky it worked

[hoary nacelle]

Not gonna lie though but uh...

" The french is here."
Funny event is better

[static abyss]

Oh my god I forgot about that.

[civic torrent]

Not sure myself, however I was visiting a country outside the US and my schools strict IT team doesnt let me access any accounts unless im in the US. Also the hotel was not permitting a bunch of roblox sites for some reason

But yeah I am lucky it worked somehow

[safe raptor]

yall i got a question, is it possible to keep the green but remove the area the red takes up?

[slender torrent]

made a cool thumbnail for the game but i need a name for the game

[safe raptor]

got answer from a developer friend

[tawdry fox]

qouta

[split python]

does anyone got a efficent guide/way to make multitage levers (levers which have multiple settings)

[naive elm]

depends on how you wanna set it up

do you want to click on positions (like Qserf F9) or do you want a drag detector

[sharp apex]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/reordering-badges-public-beta/3598322

crazy

[split python]

I want to click on positions

[sharp apex]

make a script that sets the lever's position and status (i.e. Pos3, Pos4) every time a position's relevant clickdetector gets clicked

if you know how to script in luau

[split python]

ok

honestly I ried that

and it didn't really work out

and I was hoping for a more efficent way than that

tried experimenting with tables to make it work, it didn't

[sharp apex]

you'd need to have a way to see which position is being clicked by the player

[split python]

I used a bunch of parts with click detectors

[sharp apex]

i can't really think of another way to detect which precise position is being clicked

[sharp apex]

other than this

[split python]

mhm

[sharp apex]

what id do personally is have each clickdetector be connected to a function that changes a variable
and after that variable is changed, check what it corresponds to
and then set the lever position to what the variable says

[split python]

oh

lemme try that actually

ok

but first of all how would a sci fi lever look like tho

we talking 2050s

actually I got it

general question for yall
where do you get greenery for your games (trees, bushes, plants, etc)
i've been seeing lots of very similar greenery or variations of them in a ton of places/games
i'm sure most get them from 3d sites or make it themselves but im curious about it in general
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1324997431217360936/1327722110235447417/RobloxScreenShot20240529_150415813.png?ex=67f6cb92&is=67f57a12&hm=a413513649ba1882a1f0004ca26f2a177bf78d724cdc41ec26c7e66ea0d7b273&

this is a public screenshot for anyone wondering, found it in a corp channel

[slender torrent]

most people just use FM trees

its one of those things thats understandable to use fms on as long as they arent stolen

the ones im using here im pretty sure are FMs but im friends with the guy who made them

might use this for a thumbnail ngl

[sharp apex]

yeah id guess its toolbox stuff

tho i could try making my own

[slender torrent]

the other option would be either making them urself (which is a pain in the ass from what ive learned), or just do what i did and be friends with someone who makes trees

[sharp apex]

heck if it looks good it looks good i aint complaining

[sharp apex]

yea lol

[neon obsidian]

if you are going to make your own, it may be sorta a bit, challenging however if you ask me

the way i made it is esentially a spam of planes sharing the same uv map of a flat png

i did actually use a video to assist me on that so i will sent it here, but do mind its like one of those speedy quick tutorials
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7PdiGXbrD0

(below is a screenshot of some dry bushes i made for las cherung)

[slender torrent]

this is looking sick already

[sharp apex]

quite like it

[sharp apex]

yea id figure its made in blender
a ton of parts in a bush-like shape may not be the best

[neon obsidian]

yeah, however in blender you can make use of particles to duplicate the planes (which would have the image of a branch or a leaf you made) and let blender do the magic

i havent found a more indef and slower tutorial on it but in other worths you can just have a single mesh of 2d planes scattered around a bush model you made

and it doesnt need to be alot of planes to emulate the effects

just maybe like 2-5 planes should do the trick if needed

[slender torrent]

done

learning color correction is something i recommend anyone doing graphic design to learn 👍

different textures just improved the game 1000%

[hearty yoke]

wow, turns out blender isn't an infuriating mess if i dont try to model humans

[naive elm]

crouching and more rooms in the dark 👁️

[fathom forge]

A hallway thing I made and will probably rework on it soon.

[fathom forge]

Oh, and a small fun fact: the tiles and details on the carpet are made with parts lol.

[tardy fern]

For a general area like in this image would it just be some particle emitters and lighting or is there something else for this?
Never really done environments before.

-# Image is from https://ptb.discord.com/channels/346444423271415819/1249580937596108860

[sharp apex]

i'd say its particle emitters

[tardy fern]

alr, thx!

[orchid topaz]

my god i need those audios

[naive elm]

can't hand them out

you can buy the original game for $30 though

it's called SOMA

[orchid topaz]

payed?

oh

[naive elm]

yeah

[orchid topaz]

best audio designing i can do is this

[naive elm]

menu added

[burnt cairn]

i actually played your first PATHOS-II demo a few days after it first came out, im happy to see that ur working on it again

[burnt cairn]

i hope that this isn't your actual code...

[fleet zealot]

goated...

[signal palm]

you could make it look more digital and do a percentage instead of levels, and making each glowing part switch to red if theyre heating up too much

[signal palm]

fuck yueah when is this releasing bro

[signal palm]

cool audio altering but uhh

id suggest NOT using that sound intro

its too overused

and sounds bad

[signal palm]

aw man

[signal palm]

make steps sound more stealthy and add a crouch sprint that makes them louder maybe

thats what id suggest

if you dont believe in crouch sprinting you should try doing it

but make it slower than normal sprinting

[teal loom]

Yooo wsg man

Didn't think I'd see you here

[naive elm]

making sounds more stealthy would work if I didn't have 3 uploads left

[signal palm]

oh god

thats pain

[naive elm]

doesn't match upstream

[signal palm]

hm

[orchid topaz]

Meh who cares i like it

[civic torrent]

Where yall get your textures for more realistic builds

[hearty yoke]

there's a bunch of free PBR sites online, they have some good ones

[neon obsidian]

sorry if i list alot here, but I'd thought it be important to offer you some insights on texturings.

there are few public domain pbr textures, such as ambientCG (most popular one), CC0 Textures, or FreePBR

you can also uhh, utilize a software called Materialized

to turn images into PBR textures if you want to feel fancy or getting started with PBR before making your purely customs ones with more advance software

[neon obsidian]

in conjunction to a webpage I use called imgOnline (IMGonline.com.ua) with their seamless texture maker to turn your images of any walls or floors into seamless tileable textures

if you want to utilize materialize n stuff

i'm unsure about posting links but I just want to offer resources for you to get started ^^

[stark dune]

What did you texture that in?

[teal loom]

Substance painter

[stark dune]

Ah

Time for piracy :D /j

[teal loom]

Get the 2021 version

Newer ones have the adobe cloud bullshit

So they're harder to pirate

[stark dune]

I would but I don't wanna get a virus

[teal loom]

Not like I'd condemn piracy guys, it's bad, please don't do it

[teal loom]

I could NOT give you the website that I DIDN'T use in DMs

[stark dune]

I would TOTALLY HATE if you did something as heinous at that

TOTALLY

[naive elm]

theres so much to do 😭

[naive elm]

did you see the intro

there's ui particles

[pliant knot]

Has SCP unity vibes for some reasons

[ebon bear]

I thought it scp

[naive elm]

scp unity had its first version released several years after the original game behind this

[ebon bear]

But it isnt

[naive elm]

why does soma have to be a niche community 💔

granted with the huge amount of people who dont know what amnesia is it doesnt surprise me that much

[kindred kettle]

💔

it feels too big to be niche but to small to be it as well

[naive elm]

funnily enough i know my original PATHOS-II game has gotten several people into the fandom

[kindred kettle]

also do you make these assets or is it just taking assets from SOMA and making them work

[naive elm]

kinda both?

hpl's really forgiving when it comes to mesh errors

so ive had to remake a couple assets entirely

fix uv's/normals of several assets

entity assets dont load at all so i have to go through a complicated process to find out which program will open it

[kindred kettle]

Those who UV....

[naive elm]

[naive elm]

honestly the hardest part is simulating how everything works

[kindred kettle]

that is true

maybe i would join you in your endeavor but i dont know how to texture

[naive elm]

not required

[kindred kettle]

and im still very new to uv unwrapping

[naive elm]

i can handle all the assets myself

but you're welcome to try it if you want

not all the assets are broken

[naive elm]

take this door for example

idk if you know what tweens look like but that is DEFINITELY NOT a tween

soma's doors are physics based

i first tried to see if i can emulate it using easing/beziers

NOPE

so i tried to find a spring library

too bad they all dampen right at the start of the animation (soma doesn't)

i ended up writing my own library

i spent like a total of 10-12 hours programming... doors

[kindred kettle]

[burnt cairn]

is this upsilon?

[naive elm]

close, Omicron

they use the same style

well

[burnt cairn]

will this game be a functional group (for example an scp group) with actual personnel, or will it be story based

or will it literally just remain a demo

[naive elm]

this will follow Soma's story

[burnt cairn]

it'll be interesting to see what you do with site omega

as there arent many concept images on it

[naive elm]

this is true

this means I need to do the Curie as well

[hoary orchid]

progress

[hushed shell]

so hypothetically

If I wanted to start blender

what tutorials would you guys reccomend me

[naive elm]

the donut tutorial

it's long but it gives you a good overview of what blender gives you

a lot of the frustrations of blender is not figuring out how to do something

that's why I say knowing what tools blender gives you is really important

[hushed shell]

Uh huh

[kindred kettle]

I didn't use many tutorials

when I started

the best I had was a guy who helped me when I was lost

[hushed shell]

It's the one by blenderguru right?

Wait huh

Blender is 20+ years old

i think UV mapping detect white as "transparent"

if the background transparent then black

[carmine badge]

But there are black and gray bits in the "empty" spots as well

[stoic tapir]

Oooooo

fixed it. it was using an old texture's alpha

We don't comment on submission builds because obviously that would show bias but talking specifically of that idea of having a memorial plaque listing the victims and a message is a very good idea

Hey bob, I have a question specially about the SST submissions : by remake, can we chage some things such as lighting, while still keeping the overall structure of the build?

[copper marsh]

If you think that'll help then yeah sure
