yeah unfortunately that is intentional

[kindred kettle]

WHAT

[tawny flare]

and its based on an anime

whom animators

fail to animate stuff that follows euclidean thgmabob

nothing makes fucking sense

[kindred kettle]

ohhhh

[tawny flare]

the other modeler spent 2 fucking weeks just collecting refs for unit 01

because he and i was arguing if a part is an indent

or an extrusion

(it was neither)

[kindred kettle]

evil model

[tawny flare]

this is such a pain in the ass to work with

ive been sitting for 4 hours straight

my back hurts

[kindred kettle]

4 hours isnt that bad

[tawny flare]

im afraid if i stand up now the sudden pressure will crush my heart

[kindred kettle]

i spent like 8 hours modeling the leopard in 1 sitting

[tawny flare]

yeah admittedly it isnt

my longest session was 10

never doing that again

you know you fucked up when you spend more than a minute in the pisser

[kindred kettle]

thanks google

[kindred kettle]

he beveled a bit much

[spark obsidian]

its the dark matter reactor dawg

its perfectly fine

[kindred kettle]

this could be why he doesnt have any roles./..

[tawdry fox]

your wireframe has more wires than i have hair

[spark obsidian]

its perfectly fine wdym

ADVERTISING!!

[copper marsh]

advertising is allowed as long as it's spoilered and with the purpose of sharing not trying to make as much money

[kindred kettle]

smh... developer advertising.......

jk

cool ugc

[neon obsidian]

so i've made custom labels for my 5.25" floppies

[kindred kettle]

ery noice

[tawny flare]

vernice

[tawny flare]

wait so does that mean i can post advertisement like videos and stuff but i have to spoiler the link

[copper marsh]

if it's for sharing something you made not so much about like money absolutely yeah

you know, it's in the forum guidelines

I literally was thinking "gee it's weird to require someone to spoiler a tiktok link...."

my dumbass forgot I can change things

oh- nevermind I don't have perms?

ive certainly done better in this kinda style

[pearl matrix]

im having an issue where I cant have more than 1 studio session does anyone know how to fix??

[prime flame]

zekret beakon for a zekret projekt of mine

[sharp apex]

does it show "Not enough memory" or something similar?

i've had that issue a few months ago after a studio update but i can't replicate it anymore

[hoary orchid]

is that a substance painter reference

[cursive mulch]

the rods look weird without anything else in the reactor, also aside from the light and the alarms, there is nothing visually going on inside the core to signify issues

the flames shooting out of the side ports look a little... odd? it may be a combo of placement and the fact it feels slow, try speeding up the speed and adding some variation in
where it shoots out, is this particles or beams?

SFX overall is lovely, love the glass effects and the leaks! however the leaking steam effect could be improved by using flipbook particles and increasing the amount, fiddle with size adjustment, transparency, and lifetime
to achieve a more natural steam burst effect.

the glass cracking looks fantastic, but the change from it to shards is a little jarring. any chance you can have the crack grow slowly from a point that is leaking already? (like actual glass, it would spiderweb out)

the inclusion of a weird explosion sfx inside is odd, is this to break the glass..?

the steam effects (?) after it breaks needs some tweaking, maybe add some classy Cherenkov radiation? beef up how many particles there is? (i just now saw there is some blue particles but they should be a lot bigger and brighter, and maybe use the brightness effect on particles?

I feel like some damaged bits to the rods themselves could go a LONG way

in the chamber, maybe add water and add boiling / bubbles as it heats up?

the existing blue effect clips thru the rods jarringly too

I really like the SFX, did I say that already?

also the alarms are a-plus :)

[hoary orchid]

lava can you do the same for this if im not annoying you

[cursive mulch]

wowza

[hoary orchid]

just the server

[cursive mulch]

yes one sec

[hoary orchid]

thanks

[tawdry fox]

for the water thing, dw lol, i already made the boiling intensity majorly different when it progresses through

goes from soft boil to like

really really rapid

but yea thanks for the feedback!

[cursive mulch]

serer looks good, great use of substance for this!!

love the normal maps and reflectivity changes mmmMMMMM

could use some more colour
perhaps a dash of blue or yellow? some cables (separate mesh)?
blinking lights yes yes
but yes some dashes of colour go a long way to break up the overall grey theme
I love the amount of vents though, and it looks great overall

maybe add some branding to the front?

[cursive mulch]

my pleasure :)

[hoary orchid]

thank you, i honestly don't know where to add branding though

i might add a separate unit with wires that allows for more color

as these are all modular

[orchid topaz]

it needs a supporting structure for the glass

[jagged vessel]

thinking of sound effects to add as well as music anyone got some ideas?

[stoic tapir]

deep mechanical base hum?

[jagged vessel]

probably

i’m thinking of like shockwave stuff of sorts as well

and something for the shaking 100%

[stoic tapir]

either foley it or find some pre existing sounds

[steady apex]

nah this is better

its peak

it says so in the game itself

tell me another reactor game that has a fully functioning tycoon in it

[stoic tapir]

creature design, still need to tweak it

just a sketch

based off glow worms

I realized halfway in it looks like the barnacles from half life

[tawny flare]

evangelion transport lift housing structure & shock absorbers

substance view

roblox compressed it to hell 😭

[plain silo]

Is this for Dead Sea?

or your own project

[tawny flare]

its for dead ses

[kindred kettle]

alive lake

[tawny flare]

@cursive mulch hi lava i saw you giving feedback to other's creations

can i also get feedback from you if thats fine

[tawny flare]

[naive elm]

literally my first thought

or a like like with a rope tongue

[gilded cedar]

love you roblox.

[prime flame]

roblox lowkey made this look like half life 1 😭

[naive elm]

roblox supports uploading of large textures but will only download up to 1k on the client

makes some of the structures of my game look so low quality

(ones where the textures would be 4k)

[brazen crag]

q

[naive elm]

i always like little platforms high in the air like this

[brazen crag]

yes ery col

[naive elm]

(that's a 3km drop from that catwalk)

(underwater)

[brazen crag]

hell yeah

[naive elm]

the whole death sequence is there 🥰

[naive elm]

in this case we're on the ocean floor

just dropping down there brings you to much higher pressures which is deadly (if you're wearing a normal diving suit)

[brazen crag]

lmfao

lovely swim

[naive elm]

also don't ask how someone can survive a rush of water from flood tunnels

one big bellyflop

[brazen crag]

in an event of flooding seek air pockets 🗣️ ‼️

[naive elm]

not in that sense

[tawny flare]

aw

[tawny flare]

the screams of death

i love soma

i love soma

[naive elm]

soma my beloved

[tawny flare]

I LOOOOOOOVE SOMA!!

i guess i can

mitigate the problem of texture compression by using more texture maps

but since the player model is

an evangelion

its not needed

[tawny flare]

wait so this is all original texture work?

[naive elm]

no

frictional is awesome and licenses its assets 🙏

[brazen crag]

repeating a portal 2 poster lol

[tawny flare]

oh my lAWD

soma so goated

me and my friends made some soma related stuff before

except its

[naive elm]

look at this cool mechanic of this game

[tawny flare]

more concrete

[naive elm]

i had a friend port terry akers

model, sound, ai, all of it

[tawny flare]

DAMN!

[zinc pulsar]

[naive elm]

and yes if configured right the airlocks can be extraordinarily seamless

there is a teleport here

the only noticeable part is the particles

which is an easy fix

[tawny flare]

2/3

only the actual lift left

[kindred kettle]

one big jump and it breaks

[naive elm]

kinda hard to

water resistance

plus there are cables supporting the platforms but i didnt add them 🥀

[kindred kettle]

ADD!!!

[dusty vault]

NICE I LOVE IT

[brazen crag]

elevator is real

[dusty vault]

eva eva eva eva,,,

[tawny flare]

time to get water

and sit for 4 hours straight

texture grind..........................

nevermind its 12 am

[tawdry fox]

apart from the lighting system, doesnt even look like roblox anymore

[jagged vessel]

ok so i did some more effects

[hushed shell]

not related to image above but

how do I make smooth circles

do I just make more vertices

[brazen crag]

ooh whats this?

[hushed shell]

FTL gate thing

[brazen crag]

ery cool

[hushed shell]

Thanks

[kindred kettle]

when u spawn a cylinder

there is a little menu that pops up

usually it is not expanded by default

change the vertice number in there to whatever you desire

[hushed shell]

That doesn't sound optimised

[upbeat palm]

yeah I see it now but how do I make a good looking support with out it obstructing too much of the view

[orchid topaz]

"ok so i did some effects" dude thats not 'some' effects this is fucking amazing how did you do this with roblox??

this is generally the most amazing screenshot ive seen from roblox in a while

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-peak-this-is-fucking-peak-peak-gif-9818841776131764942

[kindred kettle]

yeah its pretty good

[tawny flare]

i use 64, how much do you use?

[kindred kettle]

since i model for game usually the max ill use is 24

[tawny flare]

o

that makes sense

[hoary orchid]

wow

[naive elm]

it's not but it's acceptable for very large models where it looks "low poly"

[naive elm]

depends on size of model
for very small cylinders like cables or railing bars I use 3
largest I typically go to is 11

[hoary orchid]

you could also right click and click shade smooth

[kindred kettle]

WHAT

why not 12

EVILsgii2

[naive elm]

:3

[kindred kettle]

but yeah usually i use

4,5,6 bolts or small round things then 8, 10 for round things, and 12-24 for big round things

[naive elm]

i have never needed to make a big enough cylinder

lights

[kindred kettle]

but if you needed to you could..

[naive elm]

yes,,,

[tawny flare]

gaghahgahghadghdag

[tawdry fox]

first course of action, the hydraulic failure FX! (aka ArsonFX 2.0)

and, yes, you can see it from CR, its just above eye level

[tawdry fox]

actually one second, i looked up the color of a hydrogen flame, came up with this

gets more orange as it interacts with foreign gas, blue to the core

[fleet zealot]

optional but you should add burn marks to the metal catwalks where the flame hits

[tawdry fox]

not really possible, they're black

[prime flame]

can't you make a custom mesh that shows up and makes the catwalk seem broken at least

or just union that section out at least

[tawdry fox]

could, yeah

want? not so much

oof, thats violent

aight, ill see what i can do

[tawny flare]

3/3 yay

this took way too long

[stoic tapir]

Id start getting into blender for something like that

[kindred kettle]

then start 🤑🤑

[gilded cedar]

oh we're so back

[brazen crag]

i love adding random number details when i make facility builds it gives that feeling of the facility being huge

[hushed shell]

This was made in blender

[pliant knot]

QSERF and control stations 🙏

[brazen crag]

real

[sterile rivet]

I dig this a lot

[stoic tapir]

Some art i did back in 2023

I might redraw some on my Wacom

[brazen crag]

holy peak

[flat totem]

I guess I can ask here since general was a bad place to ask it
if I had stuff like this in the background section of my app would I have made it into SST

[stoic tapir]

cant really say

you just gotta follow the prompts and put your creative touch

[flat totem]

I think I strayed too far last time ig

is it any good, even?

[stoic tapir]

mhm

[flat totem]

I guess I embraced artistic liberty a little too much then

(I made the SNL control room w i d e)

I'll keep trying
if not by the end of the month then by halloween
if not by halloween then by 2026

I'm good enough

I hope

if there even is anything to give me hope..

[kindred kettle]

there is more to life than being an sst development

if you fail then either acknowledge that you need to try harder or do something more fulfilling than chasing a pipedream

[flat totem]

can people stop saying it's a pipe dream

that's all I ask

people say you can get anything you've ever reasonably wanted if you try hard enough

[stoic tapir]

Tbh I personally don't view what I do as some god tier thing
its just an artistic form

same for anyone else

Actors, artists, writers

we just chose something we liked and relentlessly dedicated our life to it, even if not forever
now sst is not a forever thing but it looks good on a portfolio, as much as anything else would

We were all fans just like you guys

me, aky, mocha, Jay, raz, Bob, spxxdy, vel, everyone else

And its never the end of the world if you dont get in
find something you enjoy, start your own thing/ change things up

Tldr: sst isn't a pipe dream, we're just a group of people who want to make cool stuff and inspire others to do the same

[flat totem]

this is something I enjoy
I've just
gotten a little obsessed with it ig

yeah I wanna try and get into it
I just wish I was able to provide what I have now and match the style more

because I think what I got a little mixed up was

"artistic liberty" was for adding detail, not changing up the style

[stoic tapir]

Try out something else

[flat totem]

this is what I wanna try out

this is literally my biggest dream
had it since the kerman update, and have built my style off of it

yeah, I'm trying other stuff

don't get me wrong

I'm a set builder

doing set builder things

I revisited an old project that
I probably shouldn't have revisted

if you're trying to say that I should probably focus on other things in the meantime, yeah I have

[stoic tapir]

hey qbc is pretty good

[flat totem]

biiig chunk of SST came from there in terms of builders

or at least ik raz did

and you

lol

[stoic tapir]

Me, raz, spc, bob

[flat totem]

yeah

[stoic tapir]

some others maybe

[flat totem]

I mean getting in first day and hearing katsumi liked some of my work got my hopes up

ig I just gotta keep being presentable and putting my best work forward

'cause every new thing I make is a little better

[stoic tapir]

just be you
dont pressure yourself
this goes for any of you

[flat totem]

I think today's just been rough

I'm definitely pushing myself to do a lot but not pressuring

[stoic tapir]

if you really want to understand our workflow, watch dev streams ig

They are once a blue moon tho, just keep a lookout

Honestly not as hard as it looks

maybe ill do an in depth study video on things we do

as in design and idea wise

[flat totem]

I think that's something I'll learn more once I'm in, also through QBC and stuff

it's not learning it I'm worried about, it's just when I can try again

unless you do think my skills need work

but
might check em out

not turning away the offer ig

the bus placeholder makes it memorable

[unkempt zealot]

definitely practical giant mining laser

[kindred kettle]

it's like squid games bro. you are basically never gonna win unless you were already there in the beginning

maybe I have wrong mentality but that's how I see it

or I'm just not fit for being a builder

[flat totem]

I've known this place since 2019

I'd say that's the beginning

[stoic tapir]

dont make it your lifes mission to get sst, its not the kind of life altering experience it seems
you dont want to fall down that rabbit hole, it messes with your brain,
for example, im doing architecture studies rn

[flat totem]

I'm not really making it my life's goal, idk why people assume that's the case 😭

like yeah it's been something I've wanted for genuine years

and it's not something I'll miss any opportunity to get into

but it's not the end of the world if I can just continue as normal in my life for just a little longer

[naive elm]

i need ideas on how to fill the empty space on the right

[civic torrent]

maybe like a background or something?

what does the company sell?

also i believe usually there is more information to put in on the right

address and whatnot

[naive elm]

depends on the company

[naive elm]

legally don't have to use that information in this case

all i need a zip code but i already have that

[civic torrent]

ah so is this like a system you will sell?

[naive elm]

yes

this is a B2B software

[civic torrent]

well, maybe a promo code as an idea, UI wise you could put the information in a slightly different colored box that will make it stand out

that way it makes it look like there is less white space

[naive elm]

box may work, i'd have to experiment

[civic torrent]

like this

[naive elm]

i won't add new fields and features because we have an api already

im just developing a UI for it

[tawdry fox]

personally my mission is to hit big

get affiliated with garteon,

etc etc

im, honestly, getting rather close

[kindred kettle]

my dream is to make a reasonable living off of what i do

[hoary orchid]

it was a PAIN to find the serial number but luckily it was in one of my friend's unboxing videos cause we traded at a point (then I later bought the radio back cause he was selling it)

I was going to use a waterslide decal to print onto and slide onto some aluminum foil but it turns out that it needs a special sealer that takes FOUR WEEKS to dry

[naive elm]

i love normal maps

WHAT THE FUCK

[naive elm]

yes

WHAT THE FUCK

[kindred kettle]

I need to learn

how to bake

[gilded cedar]

i dont like those normal colors !!

[hoary orchid]

what is so shocking

[naive elm]

they were exported on the wrong setting

i did fix it though

[gilded cedar]

i knew it

[neon obsidian]

normals are awesome

can get you the details you needed without sacrificing more polygons

ie, this

[hoary orchid]

yeah they're great

[neon obsidian]

as long its like, small, something the player can't notice upclose

its a perfect way to detail stuff

while retaining optimal meshes

with lowest polycounts

[naive elm]

[kindred kettle]

update

[civic torrent]

I must ask how in general but a smaller more specific topic is those holes in the barrel

it looks really good btw

[kindred kettle]

the fluting?

i just

well basically you get a certain sided cylinder (i did 24) and then every 3 edges you select and then scale down

with 2 loop cuts on either side

so they form sort of a

elongated hexagon

its extremely triangle efficient

but its a bit limited in shape

[civic torrent]

what about making the holes themselves?

was that using a modifer after you created the shape of the hole?

[kindred kettle]

basically what i did

[kindred kettle]

wait what are you talking about

[kindred kettle]

(ignore GAME SOUNDS IM PLAYING A GAME

[civic torrent]

I just used a weighted normal and called it s Day

[tawny flare]

huh

ok thanks

i forgot its

it exists

a solution to all of my shading problems

[kindred kettle]

but if you want the

PROPER way

inset this face

and maybe add a small bevel

[tawny flare]

wat

[kindred kettle]

shouldn't this be posted in #photography ?

[sterile rivet]

It's a model of a car that I built

I made it

this is a render????

@sharp apex @dusty vault video demo??? no way

[sharp apex]

splitscreen UI like that is really cool

[naive elm]

we tried multiple iterations

an hour long conference just to come up with "yeah what [sgii2] did was good"

we were very close to using this design, even on desktop

but the end result was "let's use the real estate while we have it"

[sharp apex]

yuh

[naive elm]

it is mostly based off of stripe checkout

which you have more than likely seen

im glad we made it more of its own style than it was originally

[signal palm]

delete

google what modern server rack looks like

[naive elm]

doesn't have to be realistic depending on the style they're going for

it doesn't look like a rack mounted server but i could see the model fitting in some styles of worlds

[signal palm]

low poly gmae

[naive elm]

precisely

[naive elm]

also ig i can share that all the blurring is done using css and sample data that changes every refresh
purely for asthetics 💔

[kindred kettle]

@naive elm

advancement

btw

[naive elm]

🔥

[sharp apex]

That sounds bad for performance

basically tying something to Heartbeat in roblox right?

[naive elm]

1. it's only for me recording videos or taking screenshots as there can be sensitive info

• it's controlled using an env variable set to false in production builds

2. the blur isn't caused by any rerender; i simply only use css filters

• if you're talking about the refresh, i meant that the content is set only when the page reloads

3. side note, using frame event handlers isn't that performance intensive unless you're doing complex calculations

[sharp apex]

ooh

by every refresh i thought it was like in a rendering engine

[naive elm]

nah

[sharp apex]

since ig browsers render pages

[naive elm]

i use react so if you do screw up you can have entire rendering pipelines running every frame

[sharp apex]

isnt that what Roblox uses

[naive elm]

they did a lua port of it yes

idk if coregui uses it

[sharp apex]

ooh

ive seen some plugins that let you visualize React stuff in Studio

[naive elm]

yeah, that's based off the popular (actual) react framework called storybook

the major difference between react-lua and react is that react uses actual markup to make its components in a language called jsx/tsx: ```tsx
function MyComponent({ value }) {
return <div>
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
<p>Value: {value}</p>
</div>
}

ReactDOM.render(<MyComponent value={5} />, document.body);

while in lua it's programmatic: ```lua
function MyComponent(props)
  return react.createElement("Frame", {}, {
    TitleElement = react.createElement("TextLabel", { TextSize = 24, Text = "Hello world!" });
    BodyElement = react.createElement("TextLabel", { Text = "Value: " .. props.value });
  })
end

ReactDOM.createRoot(gui.Frame, react.creatElement(MyComponent, { value = 5 }))

as you can see it's dramatically easier to write actual react code

lua version is so annoying because in normal react we can write all the styling once and use it in multiple places

so you have a lot of properties being assigned to each element

[sharp apex]

yeah LOL

ohmiyah...

congratulations!

[kindred kettle]

1.2k to 320

[tawny flare]

yeah its incredible right

now learn how to reduce even bigger numbers!

like 91k down to 2k

[kindred kettle]

you only get to that high on purpose so it's easy to fix that but I got there even while actually trying to keep triangle count a little low

[teal loom]

i wish i had the patience for complex models

this is so cool! I recommend you get a set of studio lights and use them for lighting instead, it can help really show the detail and a more professional look, I personally like the neewer RGB62

[sterile rivet]

Yeahh I took that picture in a closet because it was midnigjt around the time I took it

I can get a pic outside

using multiple light sources is very good for using different light temperatures, to highlight an object's details

oh my god ngl I fw evangelion x scp wow that looks great

awesome job

I suggest you add a gradient to the interactive panels' screens to give it a bit more detail

[dusty vault]

AWESOME!!!

[tawny flare]

the guy who commissoned it told me to make it neon soo

but if theres a way to like

add a gradient over said neon

thatll be cool

like a plastic fade effect

[cursive mulch]

use a decal with like

[copper marsh]

you can just use either a transparency map if you want the neon and the gradient to both be part of a single mesh, or if the screen is separate just use a radial gradient decal and adjust its transparency, the glow appears beyond a certain transparency point

so the edges are not glowy but the center is

[cursive mulch]

A gradient from transparent in the middle ye

what Bob said

[tawny flare]

whart

alr ill h

[copper marsh]

okay let me show it

[tawny flare]

try

ok!!

[copper marsh]

you just put the decal on top of the screen that's all

[tawny flare]

woaw

[copper marsh]

and play with the transparency of the decals and the brightness of your neon piece

cant find a blast door that fits what i need (besides reuploaded qserf ones......) so i gonna try to script my own but idk where to start (i have not scripted before)

[naive elm]

there's a bad way to do a door and a good way to do a door but the good way is intermediate

the bad way is the beginner way though

it involves basic concepts like loops and property assignment

[grand knot]

i do not know how to do literally anything

This is my second time trying to do blender

[jagged grotto]

Looks somewhat to pretty accurate, once the train is finished it should look right

ALEWIFE

Just realized I will need to flatten the door when I actually solidify the train so I can have a cutout there, but I'll keep it as is for right now so I can see how it'll look

After I build this train I'll have to build the CRRC 01900s, and then unfortunately the pullman standards which I don't like but I can't really leave them out of the game

[jagged grotto]

All the topology seems good and uniform to me (except for the headlights cause I booleaned those in, I'm going to see what I can do about that)

That should actually be the front almost done.. wow
Just need to cut in the top lights and destination display

[vast basin]

Sober works well for me

[jagged grotto]

uh oh

How did you do the tape/lines around the thing? just a line then a skin modifier?

[stoic tapir]

I asked the same question lol!
shrinkwrap didnt really work, so what most of us did was extruded a plane roughly around it, bevel the edges where corners are, then just mess with it a bit to make it nice

doesnt have to be absolutely perfect so dont stress too much

[civic torrent]

cool, i'm asking more for the future in case I ever model something like cage lights.

I'd assume I can use that method too

[kindred kettle]

i would just take plane and solidify modifier then move it around until it looks good then just. apply modifier then mess with it a bit more
