[civic charm]

Bro wtf u a therapist?

[fleet bobcat]

mhm, not officially, but ive been through some stuff so ik what its like, id talk more, but dont want to clog this channel

[civic charm]

Ok, cool still

Anyways about your creativity issue try replicating irl objects

[fleet bobcat]

biggest thing is idk what to replicate

like, when i do it, yeah, its decent, but its what to do

where to start

that part gives me problems

[civic charm]

Pick an item in your room then

Close your eyes spin around a point your finger on smth

Idk lmfao

[tranquil otter]

working on cargo rn

i dont really like it for now, if ill want, ill do some fixes before the deadline

[hollow grove]

working on light system (i hate this system)

[civic charm]

That's a lot of poles

[civic charm]

What even is this

[hollow grove]

💔

[civic charm]

That's a lot of skin exposed man

[hollow grove]

I dont have a clotch system done sorry

[civic charm]

Jesus

[hollow grove]

Uai

[civic charm]

Quz ur in QSP and Idk how harsh they can get

The mods i mean

You never know

[hollow grove]

💔

Ok

I make the clotch system tomorrow

[civic charm]

[hollow grove]

Why this reaction

Like

[civic charm]

I have a certain experience when it comes to mods in QSP

[hollow grove]

Oh

[coral hull]

Your making it weird

[ebon bear]

testing custom skybox

[lunar axle]

not sure why sst hasnt already hired you

@errant pond check this shit out

[errant pond]

Thats fire

But I have no control over sst

nor any influence on its team

[north thicket]

My first ever attempt at making a gun

[copper marsh]

then you just watch this tutorial it'll change the way you do railings FOREVER https://youtu.be/DC-wIeKEjdQ

[carmine flame]

that's smart

going in my collection

[pliant knot]

Hey, anyone knows how to force certain avatars on R6 using scripts ofc

Pointing out certain

since I don't want to put it in settings

[civic charm]

That's a lot of stairs

[pliant knot]

Guys did I cook in word

[shy mortar]

Quick question, do you have a way to import models into studio, so that they are in the same scale as the humanoid in blender?

[copper marsh]

a meter in blender is 100 studs so you just scale down by 0.01

[signal palm]

this isnt too hard genuinely

ive seen worse

[signal palm]

i suggest doing downscaled text

make a large part with alot of pixels on the surfacegui

then downscale it as a model

either way, the text is awesome

[hollow grove]

alarms

[ebon bear]

T-72A hull

[signal palm]

are thgese done in that one whimsical building game

[ebon bear]

yes

[signal palm]

why do you not make stuff in studio

oh wait you can always export it

you can make a tank game with these and it would be hot

[ebon bear]

nah man i mostly do stuff in studio

not in this game

but i got bored

[signal palm]

o

[copper marsh]

I'm sure that's safe

[civic charm]

"I don't get paid enough" ah stairs

[signal palm]

i mean its uhhh

alright

hardly much of a difference in movement

people should climb just fine

[north thicket]

It's strategic. The osha inspector now won't be able to finish the inspection

[pliant knot]

Yeah but perhaps I'll simply do a system where you can click documents like these to have the camera get closer, allowing to keep pixelsperstud low for performances

[pliant knot]

And thanks

[signal palm]

thats also a good way

[pliant knot]

Anyone?

[signal palm]

its a game setting

[pliant knot]

I said with a script

I wanna force specific players on R6

[signal palm]

oh interesting

[pliant knot]

Yeah interesting indeed, since even on dev forums I can't find any post about this

Even though I'm pretty sure it's possible

[signal palm]

theres some admin systems that literally have a command for it

so there has to be a way

they just refresh the character and make it r6

[pliant knot]

Fr?

Never saw

[signal palm]

hd admin has it

literally the most slop admin client has it

[pliant knot]

Ah yes the admin no experienced dev would use

[signal palm]

fr

[pliant knot]

But yeah even chatgpt doesn't know how to turn an avatar to R6

I tries

But do shit

[mint tartan]

much better

[fresh drift]

Little question

How i can make like
ColorMap for like painting in substance painter ?
(Mainly im using polygon fill and also that works too)
But with color selection is better i think

[civic charm]

why the fuck is a chair upside down

[static abyss]

It's on the desk.

[civic charm]

yea but why

[surreal vine]

why not

not in use

[civic charm]

I'm already in love with this new emoji

[surreal vine]

what

who wouldnt put a chair up like that

a chair with no arm rests might i add

[rocky brook]

when you're not using it

put it on the table

simple

our school does that

[civic charm]

with those kind of chairs?

[surreal vine]

no arm rests

[shy mortar]

How did you get that texture on the lamp?

[fathom forge]

Computer and tablet with a holographic screen and a suitcase.

[worn apex]

Custom light shader that I rendered

Pretty easy to do

[copper marsh]

Starting work on UV unwrapping
I've never unwrapped something so big, each color is a different texture set
(none of the unwrapping is done that's just smart unwrap to more or less gauge how much resolution I get)

[civic charm]

bro is talking nuclear physics

[copper marsh]

I might need one more set

[civic charm]

this looks cool!

[worn apex]

To be exact

[civic charm]

but where r u gonna put it anyways?

[copper marsh]

Just expanding my skills, maybe gonna code a game prototype sort of like signal simulator

[civic charm]

is it gonna be controllable? :3

[copper marsh]

yeah

[civic charm]

hell yeah

[surreal vine]

how do you also handle the collisions when meshes are big enough, like the stairs

is it just by turning collisions off and using invisible parts?

[worn apex]

Using invisible parts is the best solution to most things

Especially when doing maps in 3d

[surreal vine]

its just the only solution i could think of

[worn apex]

Well it's the best one

[surreal vine]

and im getting the urge to model again and i dont know what

[worn apex]

Sst models

[copper marsh]

^

either that or go the chaos route and set the collision fidelity to maximum

[civic charm]

CollisionFidelity: PreciseConvexCollision

My beloved

[surreal vine]

idk what to make though

[neon obsidian]

wait this is actually super useful tysm

[copper marsh]

I must warn you though I noticed that sharp turns are not exactly handled very well

[hoary orchid]

fair, just didn't know how difficult the workflow was since I texture in substance

[teal loom]

smart uv unwrap

[pliant knot]

So any scripter here knows how to force on certain characters R6?

[teal loom]

iirc the humanoid has a property called rig type

r6 or r15

[pliant knot]

I'll check that

It seems like there is

i'll test

doesn't seem to work very well

seems like that switching it just kills the character but does not change it when it respawns

[worn apex]

Makes bad seams most of the time

[teal loom]

🥀

[neon obsidian]

its okay for a quick job on UV unwrapping but manually making your own uv makes it easier to control where you want those seams to be

[worn apex]

Rizom uv is crazy good for uv

Subscription based but right under substance painter in ranking (my opinion)

[teal loom]

for props smart is best

but for more significant stuff then yeah

tho i never do my uvs since idk how to

[worn apex]

Well not for hero props

[teal loom]

🏴‍☠️

[teal loom]

god no

[worn apex]

Also better texel density

[neon obsidian]

based on the geometry of your props

if its rather cubic in shape, then its great

however if its rounded, thats when the seams would be more noticable

like barrels, lamps or any rounded surface object where smart UV would otherwise not make a clean unwrap

there were times when i made props i had to like, (before i learn to uv unwrap myself) where i had to use those clone stamp in painter and try to blend the seams together to hide it 😭

[civic charm]

U mean forcing a player's character to R6? If that's it just open the game settings and switch to R6 there

[pliant knot]

With a script

Because

I want to force R6 only on certain chars

[copper marsh]

finally got an unwrap I am happy with

[copper marsh]

smart is quite far from the best in my experience

[signal palm]

why is this not present in Qserf

we need this kind of asset for uhh

[teal loom]

sometimes it tend to fuck up shit

[copper marsh]

it's wasteful, can have tilted textures, and little control over density

[signal palm]

just slap it somewhere 100 meters underground

[fathom forge]

Don't point it at the Sun. /j

[signal palm]

point it at the dmr

[teal loom]

density?

[signal palm]

get 7 quadrillion entries

[copper marsh]

this has as much geometry as I'd say the whole control room perhaps

[teal loom]

like how many verts are in 1 place?

[signal palm]

shit

[copper marsh]

what akyomia said, texel density

[signal palm]

might be able to compete with my older reactors from 2022

made purely out of parts

230000 parts... lets not look at the triangles

[copper marsh]

it's usually favorable to manually tweak the density depending on the faces

as in, hidden/not often seen sides have a lower density

[worn apex]

Basically higher texel density looks higher res

[teal loom]

i see

so this is why my models have really low res

even tho theyre under 3k

[copper marsh]

[worn apex]

It's when you tile a material during uv unwrap and sometimes the material has a few tiles and sometimes it has a lot of tiles, the more the better obviously

[teal loom]

15k is impressive for that

[copper marsh]

now I just have to... name...... the.... uhhmmmm

I'm now on my 4th movie for today

[worn apex]

Watched all stranger things seasons while working on the sst apps

[neon obsidian]

me when i make so many models but i am too lazy to rename them (the bountiful amount of cubes)

[teal loom]

Got burnt out after the rcr

Won't finish it lmao

[worn apex]

I just name the materials and then figure it out while uploading

[teal loom]

Kinda sad but school

Either way gl to y'alls

[fleet bobcat]

I could never do that, like idk what it is with me, but the instant I finish a model or smth I MUST name it, if i dont name it smth inside me just starts tweaking 😭

[neon obsidian]

same for me, but i can get so lazy to put myself into that situation 😭

[hoary orchid]

how did you figure out uv unwrapping

[neon obsidian]

i looked through some tutorial because maybe i underestimated it and thought it was too hard

it isnt really

im familiar with marking sharp

and seams is i guess kinda the same? but you mark more area of seams to make sure they are unwrap

envision your mesh kinda like those uhh papercrafts you usually print online, cut them out and try to shape it together

[neon obsidian]

yeah lol

[worn apex]

Same goes for everything else

[neon obsidian]

the papercraft anaology is probs the best way i can word it

[hoary orchid]

any specific tutorials you used

[neon obsidian]

mhm, theres one i watched that got me to understand and went ahead to try to it out

lemme fetch it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XleO7DBm1Us

[worn apex]

Try motivation

[teal loom]

no motivation

available

[worn apex]

A ghast with a nuke is motivating me enough actually

[hoary orchid]

thx

[neon obsidian]

yw

[hoary orchid]

no problem, glad i could motivate you

[copper marsh]

anybody know how to deal with certain faces not baking correctly? I don't really understand what the problem is

that's the normal map view but it happens on everything except for curvature, thickness and position

[shy mortar]

Do you manually Unwrap or do you let blender/substance painter do the job?

[copper marsh]

it's unwrapped manually

[shy mortar]

Is it hard to?

[copper marsh]

problematic faces selected

[shy mortar]

This happend to me once, maybe there are two duplicate faces in there instead of only one.

but im not 100% sure

[copper marsh]

nope, it's packed and either way it'd have artifacting instead of missing baking

[copper marsh]

OK I got it figured out whew

apparently had something to do with the fact they were ngons

not sure what, as only 2/3 exactly equal faces were gray but at least I fixed it

[surreal vine]

i should definitely replace this

just with anything else at this point

theres so much i need to do

i think i need to properly utilise trello

also what is better to prioritise, remaking and adding new areas or adding new areas then remaking old areas, assuming it would be to a higher standard than what they were originally made with

in the grand scheme of things, my motivation is the dragging part but this, facility, is pretty small compared to other ones so far

but its also not up to a consistent standard

[hollow grove]

guys reactor control room

[hoary orchid]

amazing

[vague shore]

thats fire

[hollow grove]

so cooll

[copper marsh]

Thaanks

[kindred kettle]

pretty good

I think the roundness of the dish could be better but optimization

(more sides

or do the shinano method

high side exterior side

lower and lower as it goes towards the center

[copper marsh]

it has a very specific amount of sides to make all geometry work better

[kindred kettle]

t64b or t72?

[ebon bear]

blueprint lie

why the fuck it look like T-64 meanwhile the name of the file say T-72???

[kindred kettle]

that's like

funky

[ebon bear]

The turret is more slop

[shy mortar]

Do you have any good tutorials on texturing, like ones you used when you were learning

[copper marsh]

the official ones are good even though a bit outdated https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB0wXHrWAmCwnqWfKdGEmbtSKN2EzvLrY

[kindred kettle]

eyeball it

[shy mortar]

Alright thanks!

[civic charm]

holy jesus

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MY ROBLOX STUDIO

[worn apex]

Unusable for me I hope there's an option to use the old one, gotta be the ugliest version yet

[copper marsh]

I hate it but the ability to create new tool tabs is pretty awesome you gotta admit that

[shy mortar]

YOU CAN CREATE NEW TOOL TABS

HOLD MY BEER

[civic charm]

I'm back baby

[sharp apex]

I didnt ask for this
WHy is it on

it was turned on automatically by roblox

wtf is this blank space

[static abyss]

Yea that's like one of its biggest flaws.

[sharp apex]

it takes up so much space

whoever designed this prob has a big ass monitor

instead of the normal people 1080p

[hearty yoke]

i have 1440p and it still takes up a bunch of space

[tranquil otter]

FR, i cant work in this interface 😭

[hoary orchid]

improved lighting

also started on cargo bay exterior

[hearty yoke]

had a brainwave mid final exam (which sucked btw, still have a billion left) and made a nozzle

that's it, just a nozzle

[coral hull]

@hoary orchid heads up, some of these are unanchored

[hoary orchid]

fixed

[hoary orchid]

just need moniters

this is starting to look like a 1-1 snl copy

especially with the lighting changes

made pencil and a pen

these are 512x because they're really small

[ebon bear]

Yall doing good

I haven’t post much related to QS

[plain silo]

much like the time discord changed the mobile ui, it's a matter of getting used to it
I tried it before personally and for the most part it was completely usable but I won't speak for the vast majority 🤷‍♂️

[civic charm]

Well I like the new feature to make custom tabs but there are flaws in the design, the amount of empty space pisses me off since I'm someone who works with a laptop

[fathom forge]

Peculiar hourglass with geometric symbolism.

[worn apex]

fixed the boring concrete issue

[fleet bobcat]

I would prioritize at least getting the rooms built first, then coming back and redoing things up to everything else's level

[hoary orchid]

installed new roof with lights

[shy mortar]

What layering effect did you use for that snow effect?

[ebon bear]

Yall gonna get in

[worn apex]

simple plane with transparent surface appearance

[hoary orchid]

i need to get this done by sunday beacuse this is my last weekend to work on it

[ebon bear]

good luck

[hoary orchid]

thanks

[ebon bear]

I have nothing to do more lolol

But dont hope to see me

[worn apex]

I'm also probably gonna send the app in this weekend cuz I'm too lazy to do more

[hoary orchid]

why not?

[ebon bear]

Mhhm hmmmm find out later

It been 6 years with QS, you can feel how im sick of it

[hoary orchid]

good luck with what you want then

[ebon bear]

Take that as an advanced

[static abyss]

It's been crazy watching everyone go into building overdrive over working for the STT application.

[civic charm]

so real

I discovered that I can model better than I code on Roblox Studio

[shy mortar]

Did you make the surface appearance?

[tawny flare]

a commission

[civic charm]

someone didnt pay their taxes

[tawny flare]

yes

[static abyss]

My building skills are ass. I think I'm a little decent at modeling, but my strong point is scripting.

I can build if I need to, but don't expect it to be amazing or made without a million references.

These are some models I made for a friend's game. The left is a simple bedside table I made by just winging it, and the other tables are recreations of tables we have IRL.

[stoic tapir]

very nice

[civic charm]

very cool

[shy mortar]

Do yall preffer the solar pannels with or withou the snow on top

[kindred kettle]

making a doohickey

[hoary orchid]

really proud of this custom area

[kindred kettle]

CASIO A155W

[stoic tapir]

very nice

[jovial thunder]

snow texture needs to be sharper (or less transparent), right now it just kinda looks like the panels are dirty

[hoary orchid]

the difference between my two applications is crazy

[fleet bobcat]

Certainly more detailed and the lighting is way better as well.

Also, what's the deadline for apps again, I kinda forget.

-# I also forget where to find it 😭

[hoary orchid]

10th, 4PM est #📣┃main message

[fleet bobcat]

7 Days....

Correction, 6.

Since it's almost the 4th for EST.

[hoary orchid]

this is really my last time to make progress since there aren't anymore full weekends between now and the deadline

[fleet bobcat]

I'm so on the fence right now on if I should give it a try or not, I've not really tried areas like the apps require, so I'd be going in without much experience.

I really should've thought about this way sooner.

[hoary orchid]

if you have the time between now and then, i'd go for it

i belive my areas are done, i might want to script the doors or random announcments tho

[plain silo]

what is this for

looks gorgeous

oh wait nvm ur scpf alr

[hasty jungle]

they forgot to screw it into the wall 😔

[carmine flame]

very "basic" uv unwrapping. time to make the islands

[teal loom]

Ye

[tawny flare]

how did you make the text and the wristband

[worn apex]

forgot to show this or maybe I did idk but I don't think so

[kindred kettle]

text was with meshes

but they will be textures later

[teal loom]

For the dirt beneath the buttons, did you use a dirt mat with ambient occlusion?

[dusty vault]

QUANTUM PHONE

[hoary orchid]

call the quantum the phone is here

[civic charm]

Jesus christ I almost thought that was real wtf

[teal loom]

wip

[civic charm]

I have to stretch it but it looks kinda cool Ig

[static abyss]

It looks like it melted, and not in a realistic way.

[tawny flare]

i meant the method

[kindred kettle]

inset individual faces

[hoary orchid]

wait are you doing another area

[civic charm]

Trying at least

I have little spare time

[civic charm]

Ik 😭

[hoary orchid]

what area?

turbine?

[civic charm]

Yea

Since I suck at Terrain and I wanted to do more SNL builds I chose the Turbine hall

It's not THAT hard

I just have to get more shots of the turbines

[hoary orchid]

wish i had time to do another

[civic charm]

(Which I can from an SST's previous app that's public on roblox)

[civic charm]

Idk even if I'll make it on time

But I have a good feeling :3

[hoary orchid]

i think my 3 areas+ my own custom one is fine

[hollow grove]

items (real)

[vestal jackal]

cool 👍

[stoic tapir]

ominous

[tawny flare]

yes but how did you like make text and stuff

do you just put verts down based on where they are with a 2d ref

[kindred kettle]

i made a series of connected faces through this image as a reference then once i did that then i did inset and checked individual faces

[tawny flare]

so its inset, then seperate them into individual faces

[kindred kettle]

basically just one huge connected face that makes up the shape of the matrix then inset and check individual faces, then delete the edges that are quads

[tawny flare]

so you painstakingly adjust every vertices to the perfect position

or did you use the font for the

yeah

[kindred kettle]

no I got it to look nice enough for the least amount of effort

[kindred kettle]

only for the text

eg: casio and 24h

[tawny flare]

what about the 8 segment

is thst also font

[kindred kettle]

nope

[tawny flare]

what

so painstakingly model that in

[kindred kettle]

it wasn't painful

it was like 10 minutes tops

[tawny flare]

so adjusting vertices until they look nice enough

crazy work still

great job

[kindred kettle]

heres basically what i did

[tawny flare]

goddamn

thanks for the insightful video

[hollow grove]

Thankss

[jagged grotto]

The holy ThonkPad

[jagged grotto]

TOO MUCH THONKING

[pastel ember]

WeThonking it with this one

[pliant knot]

Replace T with P, you have the phonk room

[jagged grotto]

LOL

[pliant knot]

https://tenor.com/bxfrKJEPyE8.gif

[worn apex]

also replaced concrete in the atrium area

[jagged grotto]

Holy shit that's goregous

[civic charm]

chat is this enough subdivisions?

[worn apex]

also a flag with pbr that's crazy

[neon obsidian]

hey... i make pbr flags too,,,,

joked aside, real nice

[worn apex]

I just grabbed the first flag image that came up and turned it into pbr in like 30 seconds

put snow over it and boom

though I made the flag mesh too long so I had to mask over the tiles which was annoying

[dusty vault]

AHHHHHB ALL SO COOL SO COOL

[neon obsidian]

awesome, imma show my flag model in a bit from my project but flag pbrs are really cool

same custom flag mesh, you used some sort of physic to get that droopy look?

[worn apex]

marvelous designer

it's super useful for sci fi stuff

simulations that take hours in blender take minutes in md

though I put a fabric crunch normal over the flag

[neon obsidian]

ooo

[worn apex]

ok last thing today hopefully, new lamp model and improved lighting

[rocky brook]

oh lord

haven't seen a actually decent flag for a long time

nice work

[neon obsidian]

flag models are kinda easy to make as long you know how to utilize physics (for blender?)

falls under cloth simulation

but it is a bit advance as iirc you need to learn how to use vertex group (to decide which part of the cloth should stay in place or not)

[worn apex]

I forgot to set the sphere poly count somehow

damn

[neon obsidian]

dang :(

[worn apex]

sadly I don't save the qs app files so I can't fix it unless I want to redo the whole model

[neon obsidian]

okay, heres the flag models i mentioned from my project

[worn apex]

those look good

[neon obsidian]

sorry if that took a bit for me to get 😭

ty, but yeah they do have pbrs, vertex group allow me to make those uhh "pin" effect

[worn apex]

I wanted the flag to look as good as possible since the apps are about looks mostly so I kept it under 500 tris but yea good cloth costs a lot of tris

still that wouldn't be optimal ingame

[neon obsidian]

yeah, i did manage to somehow optimize mines, with just using decimate modifer in blender

the normal map helps me with the rest of the details

[worn apex]

gotta say the 3ds max prooptimizer which is blender's decimate is crazy good

[neon obsidian]

yeah it is REALLY handy

[worn apex]

it doesn't seem deformed even at like 5% of the original

[neon obsidian]

if you want to optimize it while retaining the original look

[worn apex]

in blender it starts to look deformed at around 25%

I'm probably gonna do the storage area now but I really really don't wanna

[neon obsidian]

mood

[worn apex]

sadly the other option is the turbine

rather 10 storage areas from scratch than 1 turbine hall

[neon obsidian]

ah i see

[worn apex]

this one I mean

[neon obsidian]

mhm

[worn apex]

making most of the decals would take a long time too

[neon obsidian]

i see yeah

[hoary orchid]

me too

[worn apex]

wip storage for today

[kindred kettle]

Presses Ctrl g epicly.

[pastel ember]

Nice turbine hall

[worn apex]

that's the original

[static abyss]

Omg I love this.

[naive elm]

@copper marsh i bet you'd like this

[static abyss]

Oh wtf?

[naive elm]

now properly move

[copper marsh]

ooh, quite cool yes

[hoary orchid]

snl burger

[fleet bobcat]

I just noticed the rock texture on the left of picture 1, did you make it or find it, cause damn thats good

[hoary orchid]

roblox default

[fleet bobcat]

no, above the default

the streaky one

I doubt thats default

[hoary orchid]

it is

it's slate

[fleet bobcat]

hmmmmm

didnt know that existed

but noted

[naive elm]

it EXPANDS!

[static abyss]

HOLY SHIT THAT'S AMAZING.

[teal loom]

Ty

[gleaming oak]

I find it amamzing and funny at the same time. people are making way more graphicly and sound design and game code advanced on roblox than normal game engines.

[hasty jungle]

flop

[hasty jungle]

GOD

[worn apex]

added more stuff to the ambient

also turned the qs desktop screen from QSML3 into pbr sort of

[vestal jackal]

cool!

[prime flame]

very syrup

10/10

[sterile rivet]

I made a replacement clip for my walkman

The old one had a crack in it and I didn't want to risk breaking it further

So I asked my teacher if I could solder this abomination together (it looks best with paint on it)

[rocky brook]

wait

you just

melted the plastic?

[sterile rivet]

No, I made one from metal

[worn apex]

new tables and a cloth variant (the cloth sim was fun to do)

[neon obsidian]

i love it

[worn apex]

actually used in the build

[tranquil otter]

damn i love it

[spark obsidian]

anybody know a good way to align the textures of different parts \

[worn apex]

Union them

Or use offset

[spark obsidian]

small issue with unions is that one of them is a mesh

[sharp apex]

best bet is sadly offset then

[spark obsidian]

i solved the issue by just recreating the mesh with parts

maybe not the most optimized route but whatever

[sharp apex]

meshes aren't really more optimized than parts unless you mean the textures themselves are "baked" into the mesh instead of being a regular texture instance

[kindred kettle]

yeah huh they are more optimized...

[civic charm]

Holy jesus the table, the fucking table cloth or whatever you say it, how the fuck do you have the time to do this

Like

Mindblowing

Get some sleep

[sharp apex]

if its just a prism not really

like a wall

but when it comes to more advanced modelling, meshes are the way

[merry stag]

they most likely just did something like this (sorry for the shitty quality)

[gilded cedar]

bandicam in the big 25

[merry stag]

so

it works fine

[kindred kettle]

get subdivided plane and run cloth simulation on it with the colliding object being a cylinder and pause it when it looks good then apply the simulation

it's not hard but it's just pausing it when it looks good and adjusting it to look the best

[civic charm]

OOOHHH MY PCCCCCC 🗣️🔥

[sterile rivet]

drawery

fumbled my signature on the f40 so i just scribbled something

[stoic tapir]

If you can make it a mesh, make it a mesh
also, every prop should be a mesh because it simply just looks better and you get more creative freedom

even some parts of the architecture can be meshes

[worn apex]

you can also optimize things that way like removing faces, having less sides on certain things and other things

[worn apex]

real games are made entirely out of meshes

[stoic tapir]

Yes

Actual games would require way more effort

[worn apex]

I'm still not sure if I should try to finish the storage area or just finally play games for fun lmao

[civic charm]

Try QSERF they say its a fun game :3

[worn apex]

I meant tomb raider

plus doom the dark ages is coming out soon and I wanna try ultra nightmare already

[stoic tapir]

you've made like two so far correct?
that should be fine, do what makes you happy though

[worn apex]

3

control room, atrium and dormitories

[stoic tapir]

ah that's plenty

[worn apex]

yea but still not guaranteed but I suppose it's never guaranteed

I like to imagine that when people are hired after apps they immediately go on LOA because they're burnt out lmao

[civic charm]

"It's not guaranteed" bro you literally made maps that are closer to real life than real life itself

[civic charm]

R A I L I N G

[civic charm]

looks good enough

now the problem is

how do I mirror it

[civic charm]

noice

thx

im 20000 faces over the limit ;-;

gotta rework this shi

[static abyss]

Wtf show us the wireframe.

[worn apex]

probably used splines for the rails

[civic charm]

I used a curve and then used the curve modifier

But I didnt use subdivisions

It would've made a mess

Oki I cleaned up the edges :3

nice wireframe

its too short ...

fuck

I have to stretch it once again

bruh

[civic charm]

stairs the Loooong way

[ebon bear]

Idk but is that how stair look like

Because the height of the railing always the same

[civic charm]

in the turbines hall

it changes from my perspective

it like gets pressed

[ebon bear]

LOL people would fall over

[civic charm]

it looked weird to me too lol

welcome to SNL, where your safety is your 100th concern, the other 99 are your superiors yelling at you for not doing your job properly :3

[ebon bear]

I think turbine area could be the most hardest thing to do because how details it is

Yk yk pipes, decal, road

[civic charm]

yea but idk, I just wanted to do that

SST said that decals are not that much of an impact

so I could do it decals less, at least the ones on the ground

the logos I can put those

And its not THAT complicated, once you get the engines and the pipes its all easy

[ebon bear]

I think i never like making turbine

Because they always instantly look bad

[worn apex]

I feel like the turbine hall looks the oldest

not even that detailed atp

[ebon bear]

It the oldest

[worn apex]

it's a huge empty area

I think the atrium might be the hardest to do since it has that huge window

[civic charm]

I'm getting there

[naive elm]

couple of things

1. make it modular, i.e. a long, short, tiny, start, and end meshes to make it more adaptable to any environment
2. if you're really that far over the limit for stairs, then I believe your issue would be any cylinders you made. go as little as possible for the side count, then shad it smooth to make it look round. you can go down to as little as 3 faces and still have it look good

[worn apex]

Id say rather 6 faces is better since when you look at it from the front, it'll look like a triangle

But it depends on use

Sometimes I use 3 and sometimes 12

[naive elm]

depends on use case, I only mentioned 3 because I've seen it done well

[kindred kettle]

3 would probably be best for the poles

not the actual rail on top

[civic charm]

I fixed it dw

[naive elm]

thats what i was referring to

it'd look horrible on the top 😭

[kindred kettle]

oh

me when I fail reading comprehension

[worn apex]

oh yea

I thought you were talking about the top

[burnt cairn]

ill script this!!

[sharp apex]

its for the SST app

[burnt cairn]

turn it into a game!

innovation inc has fan games so why can't QS!!!

[hoary orchid]

it would be a rip off of snl then with these exact areas

[burnt cairn]

oh ya i forgot about SNL

maybe bc its supposed to come out when the aliens invade earth in 2183

[hoary orchid]

qs food and drinks

[teal loom]

Do like a burn mark on the burger bun shaped like the qs logo

[hasty jungle]

this railing looks like it sounds like an accordion

[civic charm]

its taking shape :P

[worn apex]

new door changes
blue light = closed
orange = opened

[worn apex]

ui too

[pliant knot]

You're too good 😭

[teal loom]

Are the crevices geometry or a normal map?

[worn apex]

these?

those are actual geometry

but the rest is not

[worn apex]

unfinished

[warm igloo]

Are these from scp unity

Kind of give me the vibe

[worn apex]

finished

[ebon bear]

1 day more gang

[hoary orchid]

created an area that also probably dosen't exist anymore

[ebon bear]

Yall did well

[hoary orchid]

thx

[ebon bear]

But where is the atmosphere

Thats what make SNL look SNL

[hoary orchid]

getting the exact lighting settings is really hard ngl

[tawdry fox]

wawa

[dusty vault]

AWESOME!!

door...

[pastel ember]

If your from Florida then you know what this is

[teal loom]

Did you use an ambient occlusion generator or a cavity rust mask for the dust/grime?

[worn apex]

Custom overlapping masks

[teal loom]

Oh wow

[lusty gulch]

so um, i tried making annuciator system for my game, i didn't want to use too much loops and im new to studio and coding in general, i tried coding it myself, this crashed my studio pretty much

[lusty gulch]

(already fixed it BTW, currently kinda redoing the code to just use multiple loops instead until i figure out a better way to make annuciators)

[hasty jungle]

this looks like it monitors sewage
i've seen something similar (and significantly larger) near my old home

[tranquil otter]

everything is finally done

dont know if i get hired, but i like those works, just because i never did that much building

[worn apex]

I suggest you use a bit of atmosphere

especially in the dormitories

though I also sent in my apps soo

[tranquil otter]

maybe i should, but i never worked with atmosphere before

this app was my first time (not only with atmosphere)

[tranquil otter]

i mean i studied a lot of building while was doing this app

[tranquil otter]

good luck with your app

i tried blur and atmosphere, but now cargo looks bad

also i want to do atmosphere gray, but color change nothing

[worn apex]

don't use blur

[worn apex]

try changing haze and glare

also change density to 0.5 if you still don't see results

[tranquil otter]

but what can i use instead? i want to do lighting softer

[tranquil otter]

thanks, just tried it

[worn apex]

wdym

[tranquil otter]

im trying to do some kind of soft ligthning, it makes everything smoother

[worn apex]

try moving lights and changing angles

usually moving the light above the object through attachments makes it softer

[tranquil otter]

k

anyways, atmosphere do this thing with cargo, and idk how to fix this

[ebon bear]

atmosphere depend on the sky itself

[worn apex]

offset it by 1

yea that too

[ebon bear]

if the sky blue => atmosphere will be also blue

[tranquil otter]

yeah i already played with skyboxes

[tranquil otter]

thanks

2 best variants (only those 2 dont make dormitories ugly)

[ebon bear]

it look like having a storm

[tranquil otter]

i like stormy weather myself though

so i prefer doing this type of lighting

difference between published version (1st pic) and with studio (2nd pic)

idk what looks better

i prefer the 1st more

[ebon bear]

2nd

my poor SST application

yes all the stuff is just came from my F-9 remaster

[tranquil otter]

i think you will be a good qserf builder

because i saw ur foxtrot remake

[ebon bear]

on god everyone say that and i admit

[tranquil otter]

and it is incredible

[tranquil otter]

but it is true, also it is harder to build in qserf style for me, snl building style is easy to adapt

[ebon bear]

to be fair the orgin F-9 remaster was a recreation is just the same area like in QSERF

SNL style is modern so it don't need much detail

QSERF is a different story since it dark, bricks, old style

fully concrete

[tranquil otter]

but when i saw your remake for the first time i thought it is built by someone from SST

[tranquil otter]

yeah

but in qserf theres a lot of small details that are really hard to do

[worn apex]

to be fair that style isn't the hardest but they make it feel alive with the small details

[tranquil otter]

yeah, small details can be not really noticable, but they make build much better

[ebon bear]

im the ONLY one work for F-9 remaster

other 1 is just scripter

and yeah funny that real SST devs visited it before

they like it

[worn apex]

though I'm pretty sure the builders hired now would work only/most of the time on snl and not qserf

[tranquil otter]

i think if there will be qserf builders hiring ull be the best applicant

[ebon bear]

And to be fair

i apply for fun

but if i get in somehow then yeah i have to work

[tranquil otter]

i apply to get more building experience, because i already dont believe in myself since i saw some builds from other people

[ebon bear]

i also don't believe myself for SNL cause yk yk

Plus i have many bad behave

[tranquil otter]

i think this will not affect on u if u have good builds

as i remember, u dont have any big violations

[ebon bear]

You sure

Banned twice, 10 warnings

[tranquil otter]

also i really like when im satisfied with the result

[ebon bear]

Argue with spxxdy

[tranquil otter]

oh

thats a lot

i thought u had only 2 demotions

[ebon bear]

that's 3

Also i supposed to expand the F-9 remaster but the main problem is lack of gameplay

cause it would become a showcase and the only working things? the control room

Just like QSERF currently

[ebon bear]

This is the big update coming but i have exam so i would unfornuately to delay it

[tranquil otter]

but if your build was in some sst scripter hands, it could be really cool and interactable new F-9

[ebon bear]

for months

[ebon bear]

Well no, i don't think any SST scripter even how good they're they don't have basic nuclear knowledge to do so

like rescripting F-9

my F-9 script is only 1K lines, while the qserf is... 2K? or smth

[tranquil otter]

this looks like RBWR but with easier controls

[ebon bear]

and it work better

[ebon bear]

that's what it is

but it would be more unstable

cause neutron flux

and you have to keep the converter generate electricity continuously

demand thingy

[tranquil otter]

i think theres some sst who have that knowledge

[ebon bear]

gmhs2 but he left the SST

and working on his project instead

https://discord.com/channels/346444423271415819/1365455717372526632

also F-9 update got some cut content

mine yes

[tranquil otter]

some realistic reactor thingy

[ebon bear]

supposed to have fully roleplay tools, radio, screen shake effect, menu opening intro

and more fan lore

[ebon bear]

i like your SNL apply

it great ngl

better thna my older version which is... not great since i don't haev a good talent

[dusty vault]

while we could rescript foxtrot with its functionality as-is that wouldn't be ideal which is why we require someone with actual knowledge on the subject

[tranquil otter]

so much details

[ebon bear]

chatgpt :D

[dusty vault]

nnno...

[ebon bear]

:(

[dusty vault]

i do not trust its capability with that along with other various reasons, plus using generative ai to such a capacity is a big creative nono

[tranquil otter]

honestly

[ebon bear]

magic...

wowza

I felt that my F-9 is not looking enough kerman cause yeah the lighting and style

[tranquil otter]

it is my first project, the only things i did earlier is some models for SCP SL server, and models for 3D printers (worked on a table game with my partner)

[dusty vault]

frankly i'd rather learn about the subject myself than put the job into chatgpt's hands

[pallid flint]

Chatgpt 🤑

[ebon bear]

i understandd

[ebon bear]

SCP SL god dang

oky tbf i got inserest in SCP sometime but never make any creation or content about it

[tranquil otter]

i think lighting is looks enough qserf'y

[tranquil otter]

i was working as a builder in unity

like some custom models for RP servers

[ebon bear]

wow unity

[tranquil otter]

im still hired though, but theres no tasks for a long time

[ebon bear]

QSERF light
Blue dark fog
warm light and white light

[tranquil otter]

also i didnt do any details, because everything must be higly optimised there

[ebon bear]

plus most of the part don't have cast shadows

[tranquil otter]

ill do it quiet darker

[dusty vault]

i have the power to say this is inaccurate, but i remain silent... ;D

[tranquil otter]

like just a bit

[pallid flint]

Voxel

[ebon bear]

erm,,, how do i know any super silly secret in qserf....

[tranquil otter]

maybe with some issues fixes itll look much better

[dusty vault]

to be honest we get the lighting properties mixed up ourselves

i always thought the ambient was 66,66,66 but i was very wrong

[ebon bear]

ambient is the key for success

outdoor ambient idk there's no sun

oo wait

[dusty vault]

to this day the edit-time ambient property is still wrong because i haven't been bothered to fix it 😭

[ebon bear]

oh yeah the 61,61,61 based on when you streaming

😭

"It could be the lighting"
-my mind

[dusty vault]

https://tenor.com/view/infaccurate-inaccurate-fact-lies-ena-gif-12591548584148250206

[ebon bear]

:P

[pallid flint]

its 65,65,65 🤑 totally

[dusty vault]

NO IT ISN'T

LIES

[pallid flint]

🥶

[ebon bear]

i found this hallway lighting is hard to recreate

same as the entire hall

[dusty vault]

what's that old door doing there 😭

[ebon bear]

old ss 😭

yayay my second aps! it fav qserf

I done a quick model in blender

[tranquil otter]

i thought it is photos from qserf

[ebon bear]

OH yeah those vent are decal

[ebon bear]

see my recreation always confuse people

[tranquil otter]

because u build too good in qserf style

[dusty vault]

the entrance feels a bit cramped somehow

[ebon bear]

it 4 tiles floor

[dusty vault]

like with the wall

[ebon bear]

Im not surz,,, but it all replica

[ebon bear]

i make like let see

10 game related to QS, most of them is recreation of QSERF

The first one with kerman style is this

[dusty vault]

why not spice it up a bit, and try your own ideas?

[tranquil otter]

looks like that is something from deep parts of qserf

[ebon bear]

I mean that's what i did with F-9 remaster

any project that's came before that is uh, mostly don't have alot of idea and im pretty still lack of skill

[dusty vault]

not really what i meant-

[ebon bear]

o...

yeah im dumb now :c

[dusty vault]

noooo you aren't 😭

silly...

[ebon bear]

bwah

[ebon bear]

okay one last thing!!!! The qsml 1 remake

The only sci-fi game i ever did

[tranquil otter]

i like how u repeat qserf style so clean

[ebon bear]

i can't... answer that

[tranquil otter]

though i never played qsml, just was not interested in it

[ebon bear]

i mean it a pretty old game but it the where QSML 2 existed after

then QSML3, modern qs game

there's also this, i spelled it wrong

[dusty vault]

hamdron

[ebon bear]

ham... hamburger?!

🍔

[dusty vault]

hamdron colloner

[tranquil otter]

yeah ik about QSMLs but i just never played them

[civic charm]

why the fuck does the import break everytime

[merry stag]

Normals

[civic charm]

whar

[merry stag]

The normals aren't outside

Search how to flip them

[civic charm]

bruh

[pallid flint]

faces

[merry stag]

I cant make a tutorial rn

[pallid flint]

you can fix this by doing in roblox by enabling double shield thingy but that will just add more trinagles and things

[civic charm]

imma do that but imma still seach how to do the normals flipping cuz this is annoying as hell

[merry stag]

wait

tutorial incoming in 1 minute

it will be easy if u look

[civic charm]

ok

[merry stag]

@civic charm

[civic charm]

neat

very helpful thanks

[merry stag]

np

[merry stag]

btw if u didnt fully understand red faces are the faces that are pointing inside and the blue faces are the faces that are pointing inside

[civic charm]

aight

[worn apex]

turn on backface culling and you'll see the same result that you'll see in roblox

also usually this is fixed by just hitting shift + N to recalculate normals (feels faster than going into menus like in that vid)

[civic charm]

I'm cooking

1 day from delivery

hell yeah

[copper marsh]

absolutely clutching that deadline

[civic charm]

frfr

[surreal vine]

i need to make some adjustments

to mine

[civic charm]

pov: SST this January before THE GREAT BUG UPDATE
-# aka the holy shit what's going on, nothing's working update

[surreal vine]

im absolutely not getting sst

[civic charm]

show me what u cooked

[ebon bear]

same

</3

[civic charm]

U straight up gave up man 😭

[surreal vine]

this parts for sst-o see

[civic charm]

Whar

Elaborate

[ebon bear]

PWR test

[worn apex]

new ui for the doors

[surreal vine]

only sst wil see what i changed

otherwise

theres one more

[civic charm]

Cool

[prime flame]

what is this ui for

looks interesting

[pliant knot]

For doors

[hoary orchid]

i mean i think my stuff is much better than last time, but some people have been trying for longer than me and deserve it

[surreal vine]

tbf i was asked by speedy to redo the qserf cars and ive just forgor although it was just if i wanted to do it and just give them if i do

i mean i want to and just not got to it

[civic charm]

Cooking

I'm cooking so hard chat

[hoary orchid]

im sure that being a contractor helps your chances

[surreal vine]

🙏

[civic charm]

prob

[hasty jungle]

this will be astral central 2025 in 2012

wtf am i on what does that even mean

[hoary orchid]

water cooler and office in reception

i need to figure out the atmosphere before the end of tonight

anyone have any ideas what its like

[worn apex]

are you making a whole custom area for the apps

[hoary orchid]

i've used areas from other screenshots i've found and collections people have put together

apparently one of the areas i found doesn't exist anymore

and i made one totally custum area to link cargobay and offices

[worn apex]

I'm pretty sure there was something like making areas that aren't on the screenshots won't count or smth like that

[hoary orchid]

no, it was that making seperate areas wouldn't count as one of the two areas

[worn apex]

mm okay

[hoary orchid]

i just wanted an excuse to make more stuff

[worn apex]

I have only 3 areas and unfinished storage but seeing the deadline is tomorrow, I won't even continue

gonna be just luck at this point

[pearl loom]

quality over quantity imo

[worn apex]

eh yea

it's already 3 am so I shouldn't even continue

[pastel ember]

is that a texture?

and what is that glass called

[hoary orchid]

yes, wired glass

[ebon bear]

I gave up on my dream for SST cause, i don't think the community is even fun anymore. Yes very boring

[civic charm]

How come?

People are still fun

[ebon bear]

#general

[civic charm]

Oh no

Not the general

[ebon bear]

no talk in general

[civic charm]

CHAT TODAY AT 10PM ENDS THE SST APP, HOW DO YALL FEEL ABOUT IT?

[surreal vine]

not confident

but other people do deserve it

[civic charm]

Besides Akyomia, who do you think has a chance to earn it?

(Btw you can see the map in my profile if u wanna check it out, I cannot modify it anymore cuz I dont have any more time )

[surreal vine]

i dont actually know tbh

[ebon bear]

everyone can join if they ask for 5 builders

instead of 3

3 is somewhat mhmh

[civic charm]

Yea :(

If they did 4 maybe I could have a chance cuz 1 spot is definetly for Akyomia

That freaking building demon

[ebon bear]

better not call them that

[tranquil otter]

theres 5 hours left to the deadline

[civic charm]

Yea but I dont have the time to fully conclude it cuz I have homework and stuff but I did the hard part of the turbine hall, which are ofc the turbines

[teal loom]

gg on the apps

[pearl loom]

Powder toy?

[tranquil otter]

r u applying too or nah?

[tranquil otter]

im still doing some stuff (speedrunning the best work example in a day)

doing some kind of a cafe, recreating the one from my city

[civic charm]

Ur just freestyling at this point bruh

[tranquil otter]

im just rushing and trying to show some building skills

it is required at section 3, so i have to do this

[civic charm]

I just made a map where I did some models cuz I never modelled much, I mainly scripted until this app (which I explained in a sign lol)

[tranquil otter]

im doing some kind of a showcase, the thing i still didnt used any free source assets (except some decals)

[civic charm]

Welp

May the most goober win

(Except for Akyoma, that guy is crazy)

[teal loom]

i tried to, but i had to cancel bc of school

[tranquil otter]

good thing my exams are at the end of the may

and i was sick for some time, so i had time for building

[teal loom]

i had exams and mocks all year round
