General discussion

[sharp apex]

the resemblance is quite something

[hoary orchid]

[surreal vine]

everything but the flags is what ive made in fact

and the desk phone + paper

[hoary orchid]

we might be cooked

[sharp apex]

John Science

[surreal vine]

i can model but cant texture

[hoary orchid]

that's the one lucky thing i have

but im still cooked

[civic charm]

lmfao

well holy f

my app is so cooked

[hoary orchid]

how's it rn?

[civic charm]

uhhh

yes

[hoary orchid]

ngl why does that look exactly like the one i did last time lmao

lighting and everything

[civic charm]

the lightning is from the sun lmfao

I'm too lazy to do lightning too

[surreal vine]

bad idea

[teal loom]

i did not know

i did good

but ty

[surreal vine]

lighting is a big influence

[teal loom]

im sorry for ruining your guys' apps

if i did

however

best of luck to anyone applying

[surreal vine]

there will be multiple applicants anyway

[teal loom]

correct

i hope i get in

because rent will be paid

this time

idfk

[surreal vine]

i should do the lighting

[hoary orchid]

i might have a chance with the textured models

[teal loom]

@hoary orchid will probably

beat me

[hoary orchid]

how?

[surreal vine]

substance painter is just too much money

[teal loom]

legit

some of the shit you sent was epic

ngl

[surreal vine]

i cant justify such a high price for software i wouldnt use that much

[teal loom]

piracy

[teal loom]

i use it like

everytime i make a mesh

[surreal vine]

its inconvenient

[teal loom]

legit

not so

like the diff it makes

[surreal vine]

also not legal when its being a commercial thing which this would count as

[teal loom]

justifies unwrapping

[hoary orchid]

fair

i actually bought it ☠️

[teal loom]

ps

sp

mb

[civic charm]

yes but they're looking for modellers

[teal loom]

is actually worth it

like

it textures really well

[surreal vine]

builders

[teal loom]

instead of having to do it in studio

[civic charm]

yesh

[teal loom]

and dividing stuff into individual meshes and coloring

[civic charm]

ok fine I'll try to do the lightning as well

[hoary orchid]

yeah that's such a mess

[cursive mulch]

@hoary orchid was it you who recreated my transformer box perfectly

because if so goddamn

[hoary orchid]

yes

atleast I think

[cursive mulch]

It looked pretty damn close

If not spot on

[hoary orchid]

only diff is the font

couldn't find it

and some dirt diffrences

[hoary orchid]

is this what you're talking about?

[cursive mulch]

Yes

[hoary orchid]

alright yeah

[civic charm]

my SST app is cooked

lord help me

[hoary orchid]

what if we're all cooked and lava, bob and enigma apply

[civic charm]

First of all, they are in SST

[hoary orchid]

exactly

[civic charm]

Second of all

[covert stag]

lmao

[civic charm]

@covert stag am I cooking or am I cooked?

Spoilers: I never got an answer

[covert stag]

iek

idk

[cursive mulch]

I should apply for sst

[hoary orchid]

you should ngl, not sure if you'd get in tho

maybe another 5 million blender hours

[cursive mulch]

Damnit

[civic charm]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[stoic tapir]

Looks like you used some powders?

(Fullers earth)

I do like the stains on the tire flaps

[sterile rivet]

Weathering pigments from ammo

[surreal vine]

could i pay the subscription for 1 month and cancel it

[hoary orchid]

i don't think so

i didn't even know what was an option lmao

[surreal vine]

£167 is just asking fror too much

[worn apex]

new door texture

[hoary orchid]

where did you get that number

[surreal vine]

my screenshot?

[hoary orchid]

it's not 1167

it's 167

[surreal vine]

typo

[hoary orchid]

OH

fair

that's actually cheaper than the us 💀

[hoary orchid]

chair w zipper

1/2 areas done

wait nevermind i need the lights

the red ones

[waxen vapor]

buy it from the website then you can kinda choose what you get

£15 a month or whatever it was is not the best but its reasonable and you can cancel it

Whatever you do do not buy the steam versions

becauae they are only supported for a year

[surreal vine]

is it only these 2 options, im not going for the left one obviously but i only want substance painter

[hoary orchid]

that's like 240 a year, so it'd be more cost effective if you just wanted substance to get it from steam since that'd be 167 for a year

[waxen vapor]

except you only get updates for a year and add in the fact you cant share files with other people using different versions

• you dont get access to their whole 3d substance library thing which is quite cool to go through and helpful when it comes to finding new textures

[hoary orchid]

ah

[waxen vapor]

• with the subscription you get sampler and designer which let you make your own textures

[surreal vine]

i just dont want to spend money right now on something im not even sure i would use

[waxen vapor]

then dont bother

[hoary orchid]

if you don't have a use case that you're sure about, don't make the investment

[waxen vapor]

if you're doing it for the sst app (which i know you're not you already submitted) dont bother

because you do have to learn how to use it

[hoary orchid]

you could also always use the free trial to see if it works

[waxen vapor]

and it may take you more than a month depending on your free time and dedication

[hoary orchid]

damn how are people already done lmao

[waxen vapor]

also yeah free trial is good if they give you that

[waxen vapor]

apparently we're not giving out that info

according to bob who answered a similar question yesterday

[hoary orchid]

? what

[surreal vine]

ig i can do the trial for now and see how it works and that

[hoary orchid]

im confused

[waxen vapor]

i think it has something to do with making sure people arent pressured by other people already submitting theirs

idk

it wont be that many we expect people to take as long as they want

[hoary orchid]

i didn't say how many

[surreal vine]

its open for what? a whole month?

[hoary orchid]

i was just stating that that was suprising

[waxen vapor]

OH you didnt

im sorry i didnt read it properly

[hoary orchid]

no problem

[waxen vapor]

my guess is they either are really fast at building or rushed it or had things from last time

people work at different paces

[hoary orchid]

fair, i've been basically redoing everything from last time and texturing a lot so i'm taking longer

[waxen vapor]

some people may just submit theirs early and keep editing it until the deadline

theres nothing wrong with submitting early nor is there anything wrong submitting on the last second

[surreal vine]

thats what im gonna do probably

have a month until they shut so might as well

[waxen vapor]

we arent gonna deny people now, we'll start doing that the day after the deadline

[surreal vine]

if im honest personally im doing this purely so ive shoot my shot

[waxen vapor]

well just do it to the standard you're comfortable doing it to

not everyone prefers the same level of detail, if its consistent and has a nice amount of detail then thats good

dont rush anything dont overlook anything

thats kinda my only advice

we dont have to stick to hiring 3 developers we may hire more, but the idea is to at least hire 3

[surreal vine]

everyone will have their strengths and disadvantages

[waxen vapor]

and to anyone else reading, even if you havent done studio stuff for a while or arent that experienced, have a go, at least then you can say you tried

i cannot stress it enough, have a go

[hoary orchid]

for me, doing this is worth it at the very least to see how much i've improved since last time

[waxen vapor]

you have an entire month, not an ideal time to be doing it im sure considering its exam season very soon

but still

have a go

[surreal vine]

on the topic of this, is it a good idea to share whats been submitted, just in case it could be discouraging to anyone else?

[waxen vapor]

i wouldnt be too worried about that, but going on and on about it randomly in the chat i would definitely avoid

[surreal vine]

fair

god i hate subscriptions

[worn apex]

now with a door panel

[stoic tapir]

you come in like once a blue moon and absolutely cook

[lusty walrus]

FR

I like the bloom

[worn apex]

Erm actually, you just don't check the channel enough cuz I have been posting yesterday too 🤓

[stoic tapir]

I know i saw that too

I don't always say stuff but I do check

[worn apex]

Gonna take a while but the plan is to make a whole game in 3d pbr only with these

[stoic tapir]

we need more games like that

[civic torrent]

you pay? Blasphamy! o wait, oh nice you pay for the subscription

[hearty yoke]

prepping for finals rn but still making an effort

[spark obsidian]

assets im making so far for the applications

[sharp apex]

The fuck.

Roblox.

What is this.

[hoary orchid]

hell

[kindred kettle]

Yo

Guess what I got from a friend..

A very nice Google drive link that contains a zip file of a totally legally obtained copy of substance painter

it's of I think

2024 substance

[kindred kettle]

I feel like I've asked this before but it doesn't explicitly matter if it's building right? as long as it's just. modelled and also cool

[hoary orchid]

wdym

[kindred kettle]

building is a bit of a vague term

[hoary orchid]

like making the entire build in blender?

[teal loom]

We can do that?

[ebon bear]

https://discord.com/channels/346444423271415819/1337433688098476113 this is the thing help me

Because it the whole entire QS remastered project with fully functional control

And only works by two people

[neon obsidian]

I'm seeing many familiar faces making their SST applications, I'm proud of you guys. :)

Get that opportunity

[copper marsh]

of course! We won't actually review them until past the deadline so it doesn't change anything

[copper marsh]

I saw you're on burnout I hope you recover; I'd love to see an application from you if you want to!

[surreal vine]

Thats not legal when its used for commercial purposes, so no im declining

[teal loom]

Another question, can we submit multiple games?

I don't want to script a teleport gui or make connection hallways which will make no sense, nor do I want to build the whole SNL map just to connect some areas

[teal loom]

Legit you're goated in terms of CSG/Shadow map lighting

You have that QSERF style

[copper marsh]

yeah of course

[ebon bear]

Im kinda trying to master at future light because it different

[teal loom]

I mightve fumbled this

[ebon bear]

I think the image of this area was 2023 pretty old

[teal loom]

The sun was leaking

[ebon bear]

Oh that’s roblox problem

Mostly cause by outdoor ambient

[teal loom]

Yeah

Though

I believe that they should use area only lighting

(Basically when you go indoors it's dark but outside it's nor dark)

[lusty walrus]

yeah, but for now your options are night time, or setting some settings that can ruin ambient lights

OR, big block

the sun block block

[kindred kettle]

who's gonna know...

[surreal vine]

Adobe

[kindred kettle]

substance painter dgaf about being pirates

pirated

unlike other programs

[teal loom]

Adobe gets pirated so much ngl

They don't gaf atp

[teal loom]

Do you work for a studio or something?

If not then no one cares

But if you do then they should buy you it

[ebon bear]

so scary that i use pirate assets like software and the police will end up at my house and carry me away

[teal loom]

You're getting executed

[surreal vine]

@mint tartan i remember you described this to me, you can explain a lot better

[mint tartan]

I use a licensed copy for two reasons:

• Stegonograpgy is typically employed by companies like Adobe to be able to track and prove commercial use license violations; although for the end consumer they generally let you get away with pirating it to keep their markets marketshare >95% for most of their software, that is NOT the case for commercial use.
• Without an actual subscription, you can't access the pre-made asset library provided by Adobe for commercial use, which I use VERY heavily when making my materials

[civic charm]

[teal loom]

You pay monthly or purchased the 165$ one on steam?

[split python]

tryna make a gun animation thingy and uh the animations aint loading for sm reason

[civic charm]

have u checked the animation IDs?

[sharp apex]

roblox might be having issues

if it wasn't a valid anim id i think it would clearly tell you

[surreal vine]

getting the hang of substance painter, i think

[naive elm]

door

[hoary orchid]

progress on this area

[surreal vine]

god i have so much left to do

[hoary orchid]

wait i thought you finished?

[surreal vine]

the essentials, finish at least 2 with 1 snl

yes but i figured, theres a month so why not do as much as i can

[hoary orchid]

ah

[civic charm]

my lightning is acoustic

[hoary orchid]

miine too

last time i just put light bricks in the air that lit everything and made it look terrible

[civic charm]

yea imagine if someone did that

so stupid

[civic charm]

-# I did that

[hoary orchid]

heres my advice

[civic charm]

-# lmfao

[hoary orchid]

sorry

so put the lights inside of the celling ones

it'll look a lot better as long as the angle covers the whole room with all of them

you did it a lot better than i did

[civic charm]

I tried, it looked bright and ugly as hell 😭

[hoary orchid]

yeah, turn the brightness and possibly range down

[surreal vine]

i feel like my space is too spacious and my lightings fucked

[hoary orchid]

you did a lot better than how i did it last time ☠️

[civic charm]

holy shit its bright

[surreal vine]

its using future as well

[civic charm]

future mainly changes the light cone and the shadows

doesn't have much to do with brightness

pls turn the brightness down 😭

[civic charm]

lmfao

[hoary orchid]

that's a lot better than what i did

i made it the whole size of the room

[civic charm]

imma work first on the other build, Imma fix everything later

[hoary orchid]

like i mean

[civic charm]

BRO

[hoary orchid]

i put it in the celling

[civic charm]

god...

[surreal vine]

the lighting is much better in here though

[mint tartan]

Monthly; I have legacy pricing.

lighting ain't even that hard folks

[mint tartan]

not bad, but maybe add some billboard effects on the lights

[surreal vine]

any sort of.... free to use images? or resources you can recommend?

[hoary orchid]

this took forever

[stark dune]

How'd you make the little lines n stuff?

[hearty yoke]

i may have deviated from the screenshots a bit too much, but it was pretty fun

[hoary orchid]

exterior of the area done

[hoary orchid]

that layout's a lot better ngl

[hearty yoke]

the worst part about it was that blender wasn't cooperating so i had to do all of this with parts (o_o")

[hoary orchid]

damn

that's crazy

[kindred kettle]

i think

add lighting bricks to point light upwards as well

✅

[split python]

I made the animations myself. and everytime i updated an animation i updated the id. another note is that it works fine when i was testing in rbx studio

[split python]

I think I got it now I was using animations from me which wasn't authorised for the group I made the game on

there we go

I got it workin

[sharp apex]

oh yeah common error

i didnt think about that cuz for audio stuff it directly tells you

[civic torrent]

Someone gave me a fun method, where my only negative is not being able to access adobe cloud and the ai features as a result

I can update it to the latest version and all that pretty easy but uh i aint gonna talk about it here i def pay trust

[teal loom]

Its still good

[hoary orchid]

finally made vents

[naive elm]

HOLD ON???

[civic charm]

tf?

[naive elm]

this MAY be peak

[split python]

wait what

wher eu find that

[naive elm]

this is the new asset manager

it's a beta

[naive elm]

so that explains my assets being unable to upload

...and also my game refusing to save

[static abyss]

Asset delivery has been imploding for a couple days now.

[static abyss]

LOL.

[teal loom]

FINALLY

[naive elm]

THIS IS KINDA FIRE

THIS UNIVERSE USES A CUSTOM FONT

[teal loom]

Roblox did something good?

[naive elm]

it seems so

[teal loom]

Nah they must've fucked something up

And had to compensate

[mint tartan]

Pull from Roblox's VisTech showcases if you want some decent free assets for it

[surreal vine]

can immediately tell a difference, your thoughts?

[hoary orchid]

The issue i see is that the roof lines are too big

[copper marsh]

there's a new asset manager in beta

[hoary orchid]

sorry if im being nitpicky, just want to point anything out that could hurt you

[surreal vine]

i dont really have the perfect textures to use

[hoary orchid]

try decreasing the scale of the texture

[naive elm]

which ive already posted about

[surreal vine]

theres this other one though

[copper marsh]

oh okay

[hoary orchid]

i think that one looks perfect

[worn apex]

small change, new monitor effect

[hoary orchid]

damn, you're 100% getting in

[worn apex]

I feel like some things don't need that much detail but it's not for a game so I don't think it matters

[naive elm]

updated footstep sounds

[naive elm]

fall damage and death screen

[fathom forge]

I've been trying to make it connected to another place I made in terms of overall aesthetics, so here it is:

This is the place it's supposed to be connected with in terms of aesthetics (and lore).

[static abyss]

Looks so much like a dream.

[split python]

ah ok ty

[fathom forge]

It kinda is a dream (lore-wise).

[naive elm]

i have this one i made

[hoary orchid]

vending machine

based off

[signal palm]

propaganda

on top is me

carrying a rock is my scriper

the rock is my little company branch

the leanback guy is the company's ceo

now im obviously forced to be the coo of the main thing but ceo of the science one

[quartz olive]

silly little thing

[pearl loom]

i think you need a fire extingusher ngl

[naive elm]

yeahj

[hoary orchid]

bootiful

(this is not the build, this is the collision geo)

[naive elm]

made an entirely custom interpolation library for these doors

this is what its config looks like

[fleet bobcat]

seeing things like this make me lose motivation to be a dev

everyone just seems to be way better

[hoary orchid]

sorry

keep going though

because you'll be able to reach this level

if you keep going

[fleet bobcat]

biggest thing is like, i can build things yeah, but i can never find textures or decals to actually make it have logical sense or actually look good

[hoary orchid]

https://ambientcg.com/ heres whre i find most textures

[fleet bobcat]

oh wow, those are good

i guess ill have to learn how to get them in rblx

[hoary orchid]

all you need to do is download the file, unzip it, go to the material manager, create new material, upload maps from each corresponding map in the unzipped file

[fleet bobcat]

oh, ty!!

is there a way to make it transparent, like without the black in between the catwalk texture?

[hoary orchid]

remove the the black part of the color map in another program such as paint dot net

[stoic tapir]

magnificent

I need to catch up on that game again

[naive elm]

where'd you leave off?

[naive elm]

does the texture ship with an alpha map

if so you can combine it and the colour map directly in a program like Photoshop

[fleet bobcat]

I dont have photoshop, and idk if it has an alpha map, lemme check

i dont see anything labelled as alpha map

soooo shrug

[naive elm]

send the full material zip I'll do it for you

I can generate an alpha map myself

[fleet bobcat]

alr, ill dm it

assuming discord isnt a bitch

file is to big 😭

i hate discord for this exact reason

[naive elm]

zip just the colour them

itll be good enough

make sure its a zip so hopefully(?) the image isn't compressed

[naive elm]

👍

btw roblox doesnt support 2k

[fleet bobcat]

it worked fine when i put it in studio.......

so idk

[naive elm]

itll be downscaled

so it'll work but not exactly how you want it to

btw this is another name for the alpha map

[fleet bobcat]

would 4k be good then?

oh, thats the name

then yeah, it does have that

[naive elm]

only 1k

i think roblox will support <8k in the future but not rn

[fleet bobcat]

oh, alr

[naive elm]

texture with fixed alpha

[fleet bobcat]

lemme see if i can find the 1k then

[naive elm]

it doesnt matter

im just saying that for network/storage space concerns

[fleet bobcat]

okie

[fleet zealot]

this is gonna be so sick

[stoic tapir]

Omicron I believe

[naive elm]

ah awesome the exact site im building

[signal palm]

real snl

[hoary orchid]

(it looks like that because that's the collisions)

[signal palm]

ye

[pastel lantern]

[signal palm]

31700th

[pastel lantern]

31701st

[signal palm]

dont continue like this but 31702nd

[pastel lantern]

Alright but 31703rd

[hasty jungle]

[signal palm]

sure vro 31705th

[hushed shell]

I'm proud of this

[hasty jungle]

waw that looks cool

[hushed shell]

Yes I saw it on some bag on the train the other day

[ebon bear]

@civic charm

32 sides and 12 sides

Less faces help easily to modify it

unlike 32

[civic charm]

I put half faces on all

[jagged grotto]

hold on don't do it that way

the light should be all one piece

let me show you how I'd make it

[civic charm]

[ebon bear]

Also SST require devs to optimize their game

[civic charm]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-luffy-monkey-d-luffy-the-one-piece-is-real-stand-gif-10047556268266163574

[civic charm]

yea true

[ebon bear]

well not your apps since you can do anything you want but QSERF is a different case

[civic charm]

I'm so cooked

[ebon bear]

it okay I also use unoptimized assets sometime for my assets

ig

the CONE

[civic charm]

katsumi spotted

[dusty vault]

for a showcase which the apps technically are i'd say it's fine

[civic charm]

oki :3

[ebon bear]

I meant QSERF ya

[civic charm]

blender is peak

[ebon bear]

In apps you do anything you want

[civic charm]

[ebon bear]

You can also do texture using blender (UV mapping)

but it not that good to be fair

[civic charm]

slow down bruh I'm barely learning to make a lamp

[jagged grotto]

@civic charm

keys I'm using:

alt + z to toggle x-ray view
E to extrude
I to inset

[ebon bear]

Sorry if this may too advance

[jagged grotto]

he needs to learn how to mesh first bruh

[hoary orchid]

how do you even manage to do that in blender

[ebon bear]

Im showing what you can do else in blender lmao

[ebon bear]

wdym?

[hoary orchid]

like

do you have to use the node editor?

[ebon bear]

no

[hoary orchid]

ah

[jagged grotto]

that's damn impressive

[ebon bear]

it material

[hoary orchid]

the only way i can fathom to do that is substance painter

[coral hull]

step 1 draw a circle
step 2 draw the Mona Lisa

[ebon bear]

@civic charm i recommend watching tutorial like keybinds, tips, advice

on youtube

[civic charm]

bro gave me a whole tutorial

[ebon bear]

there's alot, maybe useful for you but all you have to remembering it

[ebon bear]

TRUE

[jagged grotto]

someone pin this

that's funny as hell

[ebon bear]

IT LIKE SPONGBOB

[civic charm]

real

[ebon bear]

😭

oh wait

[civic charm]

embed fail

gimme the link

[jagged grotto]

wtf no embed for employees in here?

[civic charm]

no

from corp

[ebon bear]

image is but gif isn't

[jagged grotto]

ohhhhhh

[civic charm]

spongebob moment

[civic charm]

"A little bit of this and a little bit of that" ahh

[ebon bear]

I love doing tricks, high quality texture on the front while the back is pixelated

[coral hull]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-drawing-realistic-drawing-spongebob-drawing-spongebob-draw-gif-18986699

[jagged grotto]

anyway @civic charm did that tutorial help?

[civic charm]

imma try rn

[jagged grotto]

cool beans

[ebon bear]

bulldog

i recommend use E to scale down stuff

[jagged grotto]

that doesn't work

[ebon bear]

whar?

wdym

[jagged grotto]

well wdym first off

[ebon bear]

oh wait

S

not E

[jagged grotto]

ah

[ebon bear]

my bad

[jagged grotto]

right

thanks

[hoary orchid]

also a really good keybind is b for bevel

bevel helps a lot

[jagged grotto]

isn't it ctrl b

[hoary orchid]

scroll with the mouse to increase the number of faces

[jagged grotto]

use it in moderation though

[hoary orchid]

no

[jagged grotto]

yeah it is

just tested it

[hoary orchid]

huh

[hoary orchid]

try b

[jagged grotto]

see

vs ctrl b

[civic charm]

how did u make the cylinder from the top of the cone?

[jagged grotto]

wdym

[ebon bear]

it a cone that's cutted half

instead of having a pointy point

[civic charm]

ment this

[jagged grotto]

I selected the face and pressed e to extrude

I posted the keys I pressed with the video

[ebon bear]

the thing is you don't resize the top too small

[hollow grove]

Hello guys

[jagged grotto]

holy shit that's amazing

[hollow grove]

3D modeling looks to be so cool

[hoary orchid]

you've gotta be shitting me, the control was just in my muscle memory and i forgot

[hollow grove]

You are amazing

[jagged grotto]

lol

[jagged grotto]

aww thank you

[hushed shell]

(the grid thing is meant to resemble a solar panel by the way)

[ebon bear]

BLENDER

BELERRRRRRRRRR

[civic charm]

well I'll be damned

this is so peak

[jagged grotto]

Good job 🎉

[ebon bear]

that's cool

[hollow grove]

I have more things to show if you want see

[ebon bear]

i also kinda started to make video

[civic charm]

[civic charm]

looks so cool

[hollow grove]

So cool looks like a commercial video

[ebon bear]

https://discord.com/channels/346444423271415819/1337433688098476113 it was for this

[civic charm]

BEHOLD, A LAMP

THAT IS DEFINETLY NOT MADE WITH 982359285 UNIONS

[ebon bear]

union are horrible

unless you just lazy

@strange pawn i recommend making the basic hull first

then start adding details

then keep comparing the model with the vehicle once it good enough

[strange pawn]

I DID

[ebon bear]

I DONT KNOW HOW TO HELP

[strange pawn]

ITS AN AMX-10P

[ebon bear]

😭

[strange pawn]

ITS A BOX WITH WEDGES AND TRACKS

THIS IS LITERALLY

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IRL

[ebon bear]

https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/amx-10-yZbouToShwWzIdsNoak1cBEvVdb

LOOK IN HERE

START MAKING REPLICA DETAILS

[strange pawn]

ALSO

ITS NOT MEANT TO BE HIGH DETAILED

[ebon bear]

AVERAGE DETAIL?
LOW DETAIL?

WHICH

[strange pawn]

AS LOW DETAIL AS THIS

[ebon bear]

THEN ONLY ADD LIGHTS

[strange pawn]

ALTHO IT IS AN M113

[ebon bear]

WHEELS, TRACK, WEAPON

I KNOW

[strange pawn]

WHICH IS LITERALLY JUST A BOX

[civic charm]

Me watching 2 dudes crashing out over a box on wheels 🍵

[civic charm]

shine that elsewhere

[worn apex]

not too sure about the ceiling

[civic charm]

@jagged grotto
Do you see any cough cough differences? cough

[hearty yoke]

grr stop making me want to redo my own ver >:(
anyways, looks neat

[worn apex]

new door and couch

gonna tweak the wrinkles though

[hearty yoke]

okay that does it the blender is coming out
(soon-to-be mngs build typewriter)

[surreal vine]

it does look like a tarp youd cover it up with to paint

[teal loom]

All applicants are cooked

[worn apex]

gonna keep that as a reason to not fix it

[hearty yoke]

good news: typewriter
bad news: no texturing software :(

[pallid flint]

looks 🔥

[fathom forge]

An interstellar space probe passing by Saturn:

[hasty jungle]

WE ARE COOKED

[kindred kettle]

please let something unfortunate happen to that man

[pearl loom]

oh my that looks sick

[civic charm]

How tf am I supposed to pass the SST app if there's people like you

[surreal vine]

building, modelling & texturing, we're so cooked

[civic charm]

Real

[ebon bear]

check

done

[civic charm]

How to handle your SST app:
Step 1: place a part
Step 2: recreate QSERF with no bugs, an automated update system a perfect anti-cheat system and an Ai to add periodically new content

[worn apex]

don't think I'll add those big screens for now, it doesn't fit in my opinion

[stoic tapir]

aliens hearing chuck berry in the distance:

[hearty yoke]

honestly other than the typewriter lacking a texture (adobe payment model my beloathed) i think this isn't half bad

(i added that volumetrics myself btw :3)

[hoary orchid]

suggest atleast giving it a material texture in Roblox

[hearty yoke]

i could, but the entire thing is one mesh -_-''

so it'd look kinda wack

might try that tho

[hoary orchid]

you can split it, albiet it might hurt preformancea little

[hearty yoke]

dunno, but thanks for the reccomendations

[worn apex]

ok fully finished

[civic charm]

Wha

Bro leave me a spot in SST

[worn apex]

with my luck I won't get in even with this

[civic charm]

WHAT

Bro u have less self confidence than me

And trust me

Mine its low

[coral hull]

you are getting in

spoiler alert

it’s actually so fucking peak

[worn apex]

also after almost a year, finally found a use for these

side by side
thinking about adding those flags but don't feel like modeling that right now plus I don't think it'd fit

[fresh drift]

Also where i can find the like reference image to build one i mean

Maybe i will try

[worn apex]

sst apps

#📣┃main message

[surreal vine]

im ngl, as great as that is, i'ts not really the snl style and just a recreation in your style

[worn apex]

it's like the original but higher quality

I feel like it's better because it shows the ability to use PBR, texture and model at the same time

obviously if you can do something like the left then you can automatically do something like the right

just my opinion

[hearty yoke]

actually what do you use to texture, just blender?

[worn apex]

substance designer and painter + model in 3ds max

[hearty yoke]

ah, adobe products, ok

cant afford that

[worn apex]

well they're the best can't lie

[hearty yoke]

yyyyyep

[worn apex]

designer lets you do pretty much whatever you want and painter let's you texture whatever you want so yea

[worn apex]

new plus old 2023 version

[civic charm]

snl cargo :3

[hoary orchid]

cargo progress so far

light also

[tawdry fox]

h-h-holy hell thats peak

its like SNL survived a little too long and got to that point

[hasty jungle]

it's peak but literally everyone else is astronomically cooked

[dusty vault]

oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh this is SUPER COOL AHHHHHH

[dusty vault]

OH I LOOKED AT THE WRONG IMAGES

[hoary nacelle]

Tbf Katsumi got a point, this looks very cool (and that goes for everyone!!)

But remember: don't compare your building/models to others! Everyone got their ways to do buildings!!

Even if it's in WIP you can all be proud of what you are doing!

[civic charm]

So real

I have a feeling like 2 spots for SST are already decided
If I get chosen I swear to god I'm doing a giveaway of my liver

[hoary orchid]

yeah probably bideo and akyomia are def getting in

[ebon bear]

this look meh...

the lighting is tricking you

[hoary orchid]

nah, that looks good

[hasty jungle]

it looks more faithful to the original buildstyle

[fathom forge]

A radio dish I did a while back.

[sharp apex]

that looks quite cool ngl

very innovative

[fathom forge]

Thanks. The "petals" would open and close depending if the dish is used or not.

[fathom forge]

And here is something I worked on now: forget-me-nots (Myosotis sylvatica)

(all done with parts btw because it's easier for me and more fun)

[warm igloo]

i did a thing

i have a long way to go

[kindred kettle]

Ohh

Pirating

Hello!

[static abyss]

We love piracy.

Tho guides are nearly impossible to find so I'm basically forced to resort to using other methods and software.

[hearty yoke]

nah thankfully my college acc gives me free access

[civic torrent]

genp reddit

[static abyss]

Hahah! You are a savior.

I've seen GenP before but could not remember the name at all. Lesson learned: start saving every guide and source.

[lunar axle]

isnt there some plugin that makes parts into terrain

[worn apex]

wip

[lunar axle]

my toxic trait is thinking i can do this

[worn apex]

I mean it's not hard

[lunar axle]

its making everything work together is the hard part

making stuff, not so much

[worn apex]

the only thing that made me want to cry are these

[lunar axle]

fitting it together with proper dimensions is another thing

[worn apex]

gotta have a calculator and notepad open 24/7 for these

[lunar axle]

😭

[worn apex]

I haven't had this much fun building for a while though

[hearty yoke]

im not gonna lie, i think i like this better than your cr
just in general you seem absolutely amazing at getting larger spaces to feel good

[worn apex]

rounded corners and wedges help a lot with those

also washed out colors make stuff look better most of the time for some reason just a tip

most likely realism

[sharp apex]

yes
https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/261634767/Part-to-Terrain

[lunar axle]

goated

[worn apex]

wouldn't doing the terrain with well terrain tool be better though

you can do so much more with that

[lunar axle]

very simple build for what im using it for

[kindred kettle]

Hello

I have a link for substance painter

you just download and extract and victory

[worn apex]

ok I think the inside is finished, now the outside

[shy mortar]

are thoose your models or are you using free models?

[worn apex]

just curious but how many builds are you guys doing for the apps, all of them or just 2-3??

[shy mortar]

im doing 2

but i have my own recreation of MNGS which im also submitig

what do yall think of this turbine

[hoary orchid]

3 or 4

[shy mortar]

and are you using external assets or are you making all of them

bro im cooked for this aplication

my models suck

[hoary orchid]

that's what im doing

[worn apex]

making all of them

[worn apex]

yea probably same

which ones to be exact??

[shy mortar]

are yall using external assets?

[hoary orchid]

the cargo bay, atrium and hall

[worn apex]

no

[worn apex]

I'm thinking about qserf ones too since the cargo bay seems meh and the turbine is big and empty, no fun

[hoary orchid]

using a few, the trees bushes, floor texture and a ice decal

[shy mortar]

what tree vase are you using?

[hoary orchid]

my own

[worn apex]

the vase isn't that hard to make if you can make a whole turbine

[hoary orchid]

i might do another one after cargo since i have no chance as it is

[shy mortar]

ive been trying to, but it dosent look good, (the tree itself)

[worn apex]

I kind of feel like it's quality over quantity

[hoary orchid]

my quality's shit so i might be cooked

[shy mortar]

https://www.roblox.com/games/80887375770356/Middle-Point-Nuclear-Generartng-Station

what do yall think of this

[worn apex]

you can never be sure with these

[shy mortar]

i made it

is it shit quality or is it somewhat good

[worn apex]

don't have time to play currently

[coral hull]

https://www.roblox.com/games/80887375770356/Middle-Point-Nuclear-Generartng-Station

[worn apex]

actually whatever yea

here

[shy mortar]

what can i do to improve this part?

[coral hull]

@worn apex since you asked for his ref

[worn apex]

maybe adding wedges to the sides

[coral hull]

MNGS version idk at this point

[worn apex]

I remember the original

not this one though

[shy mortar]

wdym wedges?

[worn apex]

wedges make stuff look better

[hoary orchid]

def better then mine

[shy mortar]

where are you getting thoose dirty textures, they look great!

[lusty walrus]

fr

[worn apex]

Custom pbr material actually

[lusty walrus]

what do you use to make your pbr?

been trying to find a software

that isnt $200 😨

[shy mortar]

get a substance painter lisece for students

if you are one

[worn apex]

Well i use substance painter and designer, you can make cool materials in painter alone actually

[lusty walrus]

how long is the student liscence?

[shy mortar]

1 year, but you can renew it

[lusty walrus]

hm! not bad

[copper marsh]

random practice for nothing in particular, at least for now

finished in almost exactly 2 hours

I have almost 0 experience with guns so that was fun and pretty easy

[lusty walrus]

looks good!

the handle does feel a bit flat personally

[copper marsh]

that's just how they are

[lusty walrus]

hm!

that seems like it would be super uncomfortable

[copper marsh]

yeah but I mean you're only hopefully gonna need to fire it once lol

[lusty walrus]

true, true

[copper marsh]

military ones are more ergonomic

[lusty walrus]

yeah, I suppose that makes sense

I like how the military ones are more function than form

compared to civilan ones

[hearty yoke]

two, i have finals in like a week or so and i really gotta study

[worn apex]

I have stuff coming up soon too but i wanna do atleast 4 or 5

[ebon bear]

None of these are free model, i borrow it with permission

Only chair and lamp that is

Because i hate freemodel

[worn apex]

Pretty sure you should still state that somewhere in the game (if you didn't already and if you're planning to submit it as an app)

[cursive mulch]

messing around with stuff with @solar cloak and learning how to make games together <3

lots of work to be done but man its fun

[neon obsidian]

my adhd like the sounds of the pelota (ball in spanish) plinking around
this is actually super good omg

[cursive mulch]

right??

except for a few minor issues

the friggin chaching noise being triggered by EVERY interaction and not just the balls

oops

but it has a basic datastore for time played and all

[neon obsidian]

oop
still look super fun tho,,

[cursive mulch]

its a nice reprieve from qs stuff

since i rarely work on my own things right now

speaking of

qs dev time

[hearty yoke]

working on replacing my roblox part models w/ meshes
finally figured out how to get substance painter working, it's nice so far

[civic torrent]

I cant stop winning!

[civic torrent]

Flare guns in QSERF

Make it like the uh, rivals flare gun where it burns you for a while

[hearty yoke]

you're just doing this because of that damn horse plinko game aren't you lmao

[cursive mulch]

ehhh actually no

bob showed me horse plinko after cait and I started working on this

[hearty yoke]

coincidence?? i think not

subliminal horse messaging

[cursive mulch]

honse

[cursive mulch]

SUBSTANCEEE

[hearty yoke]

yeps, turns out my college gives me free access

[lusty walrus]

No.

They last too long on the ground

[ebon bear]

i did

[quaint sentinel]

I finished doing a re-layout of my project

[ebon bear]

Also redoing the F-9 control room for the 8th times

[hasty jungle]

jnepc is BACK

[teal loom]

i wanted to do all the snl builds and even a qserf

but seeing yalls builds im gonna do js 2

[naive elm]

made a shit post

[static abyss]

Oh my god lmao.

[naive elm]

aaaaauuuuuggggghhhh?

[granite blade]

Somebody's passing their app

That shit is peak

[fathom forge]

Something I did a while back. It's a small model of an interstellar space vessel (can reach 20% of the speed of light).

[stoic tapir]

Reminds me of the ship from passengers

[ebon bear]

serious development

you knows what's changed

[fathom forge]

Oh yeah, Avalon. Though in my case it's a fleet of scientific vessels that look the same and travel to nearby planetary systems.

[verbal bronze]

would there be anything to change?

[naive elm]

hi hello I make graphics, icons, and fonts. here's what would improve the image based on my experience:

1. padding would make it visually more appealing
2. even if it seems weird, the qdf icons should be larger than the text (there's a whole glyph/icon theory; in short, at its current size, the icons do not have the same "weight" as the text)
3. the underline on defence firm may be unnecessary
4. the background is partially obstructed by a brick pillar; try finding a better angle

[verbal bronze]

Okay, thank you very much, I'll do it right now!

[verbal bronze]

OK... I haven't even found the room yet, this is going to be tough.

[stoic tapir]

Topside tartarus

The entrance to the seal control

[verbal bronze]

tysm, it seems I suffer from memory problems :/

[verbal bronze]

What do you mean by "padding"?

[naive elm]

the "inner margin" of the image

[verbal bronze]

oh alright, let me fix that

@naive elm

[naive elm]

looks much better but the background still isn't 'it'

however if you're aiming for a qdf background

that'll be difficult

[naive elm]

I think the issue is that the space is too compact

[civic torrent]

🤫

[zinc crane]

My attempt on MNGS recreation :PPP

[naive elm]

new airlock

[worn apex]

still figuring this area out

[coral hull]

love

[coral hull]

the atmosphere is perfect I love that so muchhhh

reminds me of the original QSML3 games

[shy mortar]

is it better than ours?

[hoary orchid]

corrugated steel texture i made for the application

[warm igloo]

how did you get these lightinng settings lmao

[zinc crane]

Future, some shadows , ambience sky and else shit

Bloom I think as well

[lusty walrus]

It looks like a cloudy afternoon

It's quite nice!

[zinc crane]

Yeah akyomias lighting looks quite nice indeed

[tawdry fox]

You could, theoretically, get into the QDF Armory with private server stuff, but i'm not sure how well that would work.

[teal loom]

Or attend a tryout...?

Like if you don't go that far for a lego picture then it's snot appreciated

/j

[warm igloo]

there is a tp brick

tho

[naive elm]

for now

they said theyll add an option to remove them later for private servers

[warm igloo]

they are removing it??

🎉

[naive elm]

however weapons will be ranklocked/passlocked

[naive elm]

ibm plex sans 🤝

[verbal bronze]

Yes, it is an excellent way to get banned.

[civic charm]

@ebon bear they gotta accept my SST app (dont mind the lightning lol)

[tranquil otter]

at least i tried, still WIP btw

[civic charm]

Looks pretty good to me

[tranquil otter]

thanks, also I looked at ur cargo recreation, looks cool, but I think u need to do some atmosphere/lighting

[civic charm]

What do u think about mine :3

(turn up your volume)

[ebon bear]

I was working on my F-9

[civic charm]

ah yes, btw uh the pressure meter was bugged when I tried it

[ebon bear]

what

[civic charm]

yes

[ebon bear]

Classic or Main

(If main then you can't play ofc)

[civic charm]

uh I just clicked on your pfp and searched for F9 remaster

[civic charm]

The locked one

By "bugged" I mean that after I tried to do kaboom :3 the pressure wouldnt go down even with SCRAM

[ebon bear]

the locked one is the Main and the public one is Classic (currently)

[warm igloo]

How did you do thr lighting?

[tranquil otter]

some skyboxes, and atmosphere settings

[tranquil otter]

yea I already watched the video

looks cool

[civic charm]

"This is a bucket"

[tawdry fox]

nope

in pservers its allowed

[verbal bronze]

Take me for a fool, but I remember a certain message from a user who said that the rules do not exclude private servers.

[tawdry fox]

There is a literal command in the F2 bar that will take you to qdf stuff

[verbal bronze]

"You do not have permission to obtain this item"

[verbal bronze]

let me try

[ebon bear]

I enter the qdf armor like 2 days ago

It cool

[verbal bronze]

Let's talk seriously about making "fanart" inside private rooms, is it legal or not?

I have something created but I don't want to be surprised with a "you were banned from this server"

[naive elm]

it starts...

[civic charm]

this is how coders work 🙏

[worn apex]

more wip stuff

[tranquil otter]

we have one less place for SST now

[hoary orchid]

only really one spot up for grabs now

[coral hull]

just hire everyone and SST could make games every month 🗣️ 🤯

[hoary orchid]

payment

[tawdry fox]

nothing in qserf is really classified so it should be ok

people have seen admin rooms

qbc showed the qdf stuff

[verbal bronze]

If I get banned I will have trusted you, even though what I created is not directly seen as an exclusive room.

[tawdry fox]

If you get banned file a unfair report

[verbal bronze]

bannable?

[tawdry fox]

no

not bannable

you used legitimate and non-bannable ingame tools that SST added to do something thats allowed for everyone

[flat yoke]

how would you go about doing the spacing for this? it's a Firewatch tower for reference

full width is 31 studs and its cut off on the sides by 1.5 studs so there's 28 usable studs for glass
looking to have the glass panels separated by wood slabs 0.2 studs thick, what would be a good spacing for the slabs?

if there's any tools or plugins that can do this for me, let me know

[warm igloo]

whats the other one

[civic torrent]

math

So i guess you have a length of... 28 studs and you want 0.2 length window frames right?

[civic charm]

I am so cooked rn

How am I supposed to pass my app when there's people like you 😭

[static abyss]

The bar isn't that high.

[worn apex]

It's basic building not even that high

Would've been much better but I'm sticking to parts and prop models for this one

[civic charm]

Only issue is, only 3 spots

And 2 are probably taken by Akyomia and bideo

-# if SST accepts me I'm getting drunk I swear to god

[static abyss]

OH I thought you were talking about an engineer application, mb.

[tranquil otter]

I'd not say it's basic building, it's professional because of
blender usage
cool detailing using a lot of parts
amazing atmosphere

also 2 questions
do u use any free models/assets from uncopylocked?
is ur build optimised with all of this detailing?

[tranquil otter]

but who's on the 2nd spot?

[worn apex]

No free models everything is custom and kind of, its an application so i don't optimize as much

[teal loom]

Should I make a post for this project?

[tranquil otter]

k

[hoary orchid]

bideo

[ebon bear]

not a good chance tho

plus Im kinda lose interest in QS stuff and went for RBWR instead

[hoary orchid]

why

if you don't have a good chance i have none

[tranquil otter]

he's more like QSERF builder, I compared his F-9 rework, that is just INCREDIBLE, and the recreation of rcr in snl, and I'd say that bideo more like qserf, not snl builder. But he still have chances

[hoary orchid]

yeah if he doesn't get in i have no chance

[tranquil otter]

remember that we have a lot of applicants, who just don't show their work here

[hoary orchid]

fair, my work isn't great so i don't really have a chance

[tranquil otter]

everyone have some chance, at least you earn a lot of experience while doing so much work

[hoary orchid]

it's just a little hard when people who gave so much skill are applying

[civic charm]

So real, the fact that there are only 3 spots is like

[hoary orchid]

like this feels so below the level of what most people are making

[civic charm]

the chairs are different I think

hollup
