Xero's Industrials and Stuffs

[limpid slate]

I don’t seem to have one, but I can take a photo the next time I’m in town.

Here are some photos from the top of a different mountain in Alaska called bird ridge, which looks fairly similar to Denali.

[obtuse epoch]

wow

are there any photos that show the entire of anchorage

[limpid slate]

mmm maybe

no I can’t find any

I think my phone died before I reached the top, the last time I climbed Denali

here’s a video of anchorage, it zooms in a bit closer.

I’ll ping you if I find anything else

[obtuse epoch]

k

much better

honestly the old ufr looks way too clean and polished

if it's sitting in a chamber surrounded by toxic and corrosive gasses

it's not going to be polished and clean

[mellow plaza]

yeah you can see why i change the model lol

the old UFR was made before the material service was a thing

2021 i think

[obtuse epoch]

ufr is both an original concept and not

[mellow plaza]

in my eyes its not really that original

[obtuse epoch]

as far as the name goes it's literally a giant fission reactor

[mellow plaza]

mhm

[obtuse epoch]

with the way the portal 2 concrete texture goes on it the new ufr sorta looks like the outer shell was explosively hydroformed

like it was riveted together

that would make sense from a perspective

[naive hare]

Ah, supprised to see this channel, everything super cool. Also explains a few things now.

[obtuse epoch]

wait do you think in the lore that the ufr would have its main structure formed into position by explosive hydroforming?

[mellow plaza]

tbh i dont really exactly know

[obtuse epoch]

my amr's design is probably going to be heavily inspired by the new ufr model

it looks so cool

[mellow plaza]

would love to see :>

idk how many people i inspired from the UFR alone, i remember some of my friend mentioned how my reactor alone help to think up a design for theirs

[obtuse epoch]

this is an old unfinished amr design

I'm still probably going to keep the same configuration of the particle accelerators

another old one

way less detailed

[mellow plaza]

still interestin never the less

[obtuse epoch]

I've had a lot of history with the amr

the amr is well

really no other core game uses the amr

it's not a new concept in the real scientific field

if colliding an antiparticle and a normal particle create large amounts of energy

why not use that energy for power?

[quiet scaffold]

polaron dynamics 👁️

vectoral technologies 👁️

[stone berry]

nano quantum tech 👁️

[stone berry]

Well the reason is really just that antimatter alone cannot generate net power

[obtuse epoch]

yes

[stone berry]

It will always require more power to create antimatter than it would produce

[obtuse epoch]

also you can't contain antimatter

[stone berry]

You can

Utilizing electromagnetic fields

Same reason you can contain plasma in a fusion reactor

[obtuse epoch]

still it's impossible to get a perfect vaccuum

[stone berry]

But antimatter's more interesting purpose for far-future power generation is catalyzing fission or fusion reactions

[stone berry]

It's extremely difficult but not impossible

Hell, you could always just have the complex in geostationary orbit or smth, maybe have it as part of a space elevator complex

[mellow plaza]

oop hii gmhs2

[stone berry]

hoi

Woah, this is really fascinating

Really nice flag as well

[mellow plaza]

ty 🙏

[obtuse epoch]

that genuinely made me think that was real for a second

[mellow plaza]

ae

lol

[slim parrot]

this is a crime

[obtuse epoch]

what

[slim parrot]

aside from the obvious

that looks nothing like metal

[obtuse epoch]

yes

I've improved it some

[slim parrot]

just...

use a metal texture?

[slim parrot]

no matter what using a questionably legal concrete as metal is a bad idea

[slim parrot]

still is wrong

metal and roughness don't follow color

they need to

otherwise it'll look wet

[obtuse epoch]

idk how to make a normal or metal or roughness out of a texture

[slim parrot]

ill make u one later

[obtuse epoch]

take the metal texture

if you are

much better

@slim parrot

are you happy now

[slim parrot]

no

arguably worse

[obtuse epoch]

it works for me

[stone berry]

At this point, it might be best to move to another forum thread, as this is xeros lol

[obtuse epoch]

yeah

id rather not argue with him though

as long as I'm happy with it

[mellow plaza]

yeah 💀

^ back to prior post for a recent creation

[main yoke]

There's a free software called Materialize made for that purpose
Only a diffuse map would be necessary and the rest you can create with that

[obtuse epoch]

ok I already made the material and I'm happy with it

#1101347417598726205 message

looks like metal

[main yoke]

Then consider it a suggestion for the future.

[stone berry]

Guys cmon

[mellow stone]

This forum only accepts constructive criticism, so we'd appreciate it if next time you were less blunt when expressing feedback and instead be more constructive

[limpid slate]

@obtuse epoch closer photo of anchorage and a panorama w/ the sea and anchorage

[obtuse epoch]

ok

[hasty lake]

this is portal 2 right

[sand wolf]

💀

[mellow plaza]

nop

[mellow plaza]

just rn experimenting more PBR textures

this one i am presenting is just, a test lol

recently i put together armor paint and maybe in terms of making pbr, i am making a transition from using blender to armor paint

i may still use blender from time to time, but i want to save myself hours of time lmfao

idk what to do with the cube other than eh

forbidden texture mixture lol

[river estuary]

create a game full of just textures and meshes so if u randomly need one u can go there and grab one

[red glacier]

first off

where do you get the motivation to do ALL of this?

like holy shit man I couldn't do this in a million years

second

and I know this is the third time I'm asking

is there a specific software you use for flags, logos, etc.?

[mellow plaza]

mostly the logos or flags i made are made from Inkscape

ah dang, forgot roblox compress images

smh,,,

[azure cloak]

Oof

Just make it so high detail

[mellow plaza]

though tbh now it looks like a actual valve mesh LOL

[main yoke]

guys he rebranded

[dawn olive]

Cobald

[small pivot]

totally 100% real

[main yoke]

yes

very real

[sand wolf]

bald

[dawn olive]

real

[mellow plaza]

a funky unnecessary canister to transport plutonium :)
idk its uhh, uh ye mhm

also making some screenshot have some title like above, since idk, i have the urge to make it look professional for the funsies

[minor moth]

Small, convenience, delicious plutonium and nice

[pastel karma]

Will you be able to open it and throw the plutonium at the npc’s?

[mellow plaza]

dunno about that, would be funny tho lol

[quiet scaffold]

gman vault moment

[pastel karma]

True

[quiet scaffold]

looks like it could be its own reactor lol

very epik

[mellow plaza]

i mean, i can see that lol

have to seperate the mesh when i made this cuz i keep forgetting roblox likes to compress images

old one

[sullen oar]

mmmmmmmmhh icosahedron

[stone berry]

Yoo that's actually really cool

[mellow plaza]

thank you!! :D

[slim parrot]

give it some feet to stay stable

but very cool

[versed cape]

Thats not good, THATS FUCKING BEAUTIFULL

[mellow plaza]

time to give a brief discussion about this

so some of you may have seen it before but! theres a tool / gadget in LCNES that is definetely will be added in the upcoming updates
the portable cloud chamber (which is atm by far my favorite gear i ever made lmao, i cherish it)

but this one is the old model i made back in, march of 2023 or feburary? i dunno

decided to remake it yesterday for a new look

seems like i got a ton of motivation back again, since i realize how much im making stuff for fun again (so far, mainly prop level stuff) :))

i wanna say thank you so much jalvent, because yes :>

hopefully motivation will be steady from here, but i will take good advantage of it whenever it comes

[minor moth]

That's look like a light bulb
Awesome creature :D

[obtuse epoch]

so basically it's a geiger counter but visual

[mellow plaza]

pretty much, its a more cheaper alternative for a geiger counter lol ( lcnes may have some sort of ingame-economy planned, no robux involved tho grr grr)

ingame currency only lmao

idk how the scripting would look on this considering cloud chambers are uhh

interesting

[obtuse epoch]

yes

[mellow plaza]

theres alot of factors to it ☠️

[mellow plaza]

yeeah

[obtuse epoch]

you could do it using beams or particle effects

but still would be hard

[mellow plaza]

most likely beam if i want it to be directional

but ohh boy lol, i may go for particle to cut some agony and give it a illusion of it

[obtuse epoch]

if you're in a really radioactive area

you could just have the cloud chamber completely fill up with the thingy things

[mellow plaza]

fuckin, you enter a area and your portable cloud chamber immediately forms a solid cloud inside LOL

no sounds, just
poof

[obtuse epoch]

coolest way to die from radiation

"hm this area is cool"

"oh crap why is my handheld cloud chamber like that"

[stone berry]

Yooo that looks sick!

I swear any kind of old bulb or tube based equipment looks amazing

Like mercury-vapor rectifiers

[mellow plaza]

aaa thank!!! and yeeah lol

[obtuse epoch]

man all this insanely detailed stuff is both impressing me and discouraging me at the same time

xero you set the bar too high

[mellow plaza]

a

[stone berry]

Kobold Science

[obtuse epoch]

imagine if xero became kobold

kobold protogen

[mellow plaza]

cosine

[main yoke]

wait what

why i am i being thanked lmao

[indigo pilot]

Frr

[mellow stone]

AHH that looks soo good jesus
if it were by me, I'd stick a nice brand next to that label, fictional brands are always fun to make and bring some nice immersion imo

also if you wanna do the titled screenshots I recommend you try ShareX's customizable effects, you can do stuff like just that automatically with any screenshot

[mellow stone]

kobolds ftw 🙏

[main yoke]

wait that's a thing with shareX?

gonna have to figure out how that works

[mellow plaza]

thank ya!!! and ye i would make a brand name but i feel like this sort of item is only produced in lcnes lol, there are some other items i made that has ficitional brand names :)
(i will showcase in the near future)

[mellow plaza]

calculations
:)
made this model today, slapped some texturing and im really happy about how it turns out

(close ups)

[mellow plaza]

took your advise with the little branding name with this one :> sorta close to home naming thingy

model was based off of this little calculator i found online

[minor moth]

This is masterpiece

:O

[mellow plaza]

aaa ty!!!

[mellow stone]

OHH MAN THAT IS SO COOL

I do wonder how do you do operations if there's no keys for it lmao

[woeful storm]

that looks deadass good

DAMN EHAT KIND OF PC DO U HAVE FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO ZOOM IN LIKE ITS 4K

[obtuse epoch]

flux calculation go brrr

very cool

[sand wolf]

gaming calculator

commodore used to make

gaming pcs

[brave reef]

[mellow plaza]

(UPDATE)
had to modify the calculator because my ass forgot how to calculator ☠️ (forgor to add the damn basic operators LOL)

and i guess the enter or clear button are those tiny circular botton under the power switch soo

is now done done 👍

[hasty lake]

holy shitters

[minor moth]

On my puter

[pine thunder]

What are those 2 buttons underneath the on/off switch

And it looks so realistic, really good job

[mellow plaza]

^

and thank!

[plucky lion]

seems unnecessary to have a clear button if you can just flip the power switch
cant think of another use for it though so

[nova jungle]

pi

[main yoke]

normal calculators have that as well

casio calculators for example
have the exact same purpose

[mellow stone]

As someone who owns three calculators of that kind (all casio)

I can say that clear is to clear the screen input, not the whole operation

calculators of these kind you would need to put a digit, tell it you want to perform an operation with it, and then type another, but if you make a mistake on the second instead of redoing the whole thing you just clear it

[mellow stone]

that is so good
glad you added the operators
but I do gotta say that is a chonky 0 lmfao, you could maybe make it two buttons wide and add an enter, or don't, my retro calculator also has a 3-button-wide 0 lol

[main yoke]

or an ans button if that was even possible at that time

[mellow stone]

mmmm my Casio HR-16 from 1986 has a Memory button

Ans didn't exist up until at least the 2000s

even later than that

[mellow plaza]

yknow what i realize

i forgot the decimal thingy

gofigure me lmao

truely a moment

[mellow stone]

this is one of my calculators

it's from around the early 2000s

and yeah only memory button

this is an older one I have, which looks quite interesting if you're interested

[stone berry]

Ooo very nice, I assume the lil buttons and switches on the side are what controls the calculations part?

[stone berry]

Oh nvm lol

Still super cool

[mellow plaza]

tbh i sorta made this a bit blindly LOL but tyyy!

[mellow plaza]

[mellow plaza]

oh!! sure :D

would love to see

[minor moth]

Wohoooo

He is cute

[mellow plaza]

now that's a first one

[minor moth]

@sullen yoke

[limpid slate]

that crowbar is BEAUTIFUL

[mellow plaza]

thbank u!!!

frmen

[minor moth]

Rise and shine Mr. Freeman

[mellow plaza]

and also

some coffee

i put way too much effort on this dang thing 😭 why do i do this

[minor moth]

I thought that is irl coffee cup

the quality 💯

i love the bubble thing also, great work

[mellow plaza]

thank ya :>

[hasty lake]

what

that's roblox??

damn..

[mellow plaza]

blinded by the fucking light jhesus ☠️

[mellow plaza]

old fences i made for LCNES are okayish to say the least

does the job, but very ridgid :((

so i improvised

making new meshes for em, with different aspects

bending, lower poly count

in wireframe, the old meshes are made out of part and, cuz of that, lots of triangles lol

while the new one pretty much effectively cut majority of the excess triangles

pbr i made pretty much hides the illusion of it being low poly actually, so that's pretty neat

[obtuse epoch]

why do you put yourself through this much torture

[mellow plaza]

because

idk i get dopamine

[minor moth]

FREEMEN

[mellow plaza]

FREE MA-

HOLY SHIT THAT LOOKS AWESOME

you actually nailed the look

[minor moth]

You're welcomeee

[mellow plaza]

:D ty!!!!!

[brave reef]

seriously good work!!! he do be rocking that crowbar

[honest perch]

please do not eat a crowbar

[azure cloak]

Please do not the crowbar

[brave reef]

I WILL eat a crowbar thank you very much

[limpid slate]

can we get crowbar-shaped candy in the Las Cherung gift shop

[mellow plaza]

thank ya!!

[mellow plaza]

lcnes sadly dont have happi lil gift shops :((

[limpid slate]

nuuuuuu~

oh well

[mellow plaza]

lcnes gameplay footage real????

just some showcase of footstep sound effects that i actually made :>
there is some room for improvement but so far im okay with how it is

(recorded it in studio as well, hence the funky aspect ratio lmfao

[minor moth]

🔥

[indigo pilot]

that's fr 🔥

[full delta]

Is the framerate because you are recording, or the game lags by itself?

[stone berry]

Probably a mix of many factors:

1. He's recording
2. He's in studio
3. The game itself is more intensive than most
   and prolly others

Like, I run QSERF just fine

But it runs like this in studio without even testing

[woeful storm]

isnt the main factor robloxs shitty recording system?

i once recorded w a recording software wo using the roblox recorder and it ddint lag at all

[stone berry]

Not sure if it's recorded using that, if so that's another factor on top of it

[main yoke]

nah, roblox's recording turns out worse than how that was recorded

roblox usually has a couple "ticks" during the recordings when looking at them

[stone berry]

I know

[mellow plaza]

obs tends to lag when i try to record it in studio 😭

aside from that, it runs at maximum of 60 fps (considering the map is small, not alot of resources to load anyways lol

[minor moth]

Looks increadible.

[hasty lake]

how tf do you manage to build in that framerate

[stone berry]

I didn't

That's Foxtrot 9's control panel in QSERF

[obtuse epoch]

he's saying that since you're sst

[stone berry]

Oh, well idk, ask spxxdy and bob ig lol

[mellow plaza]

ah yeah, some oldie-style ww2 flashlights

experimenting with the lighting thing of it

[quiet scaffold]

bery good model!!!!!

(also nice pfp a)

[mellow plaza]

thank!11

[minor moth]

Shine that elsewhere

TRULLY QSO

LỠL

[obtuse epoch]

CAN WE GET MORE SRNIC DEVELOPMENT PLS

[mellow plaza]

idk

:( i pretty much moved away from srnic development

many reasons for that

anteraska from time to time add stuff to the srnic dev place but i pretty much moved away from it completely for now

[obtuse epoch]

hope you can continue development for it

[mellow plaza]

maybe, but as it stands now

i dont think i am ready to make a large game after lcnes

or if ever

[obtuse epoch]

I mean you don't have to make srnic as big as it's planning to be

[mellow plaza]

i suppose, but when i first introduce srnic to public showcase
it was ment to be a sort of a large game in similar levels to lcnes

it would feel, i guess bad for ignoring that original motive, eegh

[sullen oar]

mnnes be like

also only true cobalt science personnel remember cobalt science : 40 years later

[woeful storm]

say what..

[mellow plaza]

barrel canisters (with textures yipe)

[river estuary]

how do you make the textures wrap around the wall perfectly

[mellow plaza]

magic

jokes aside: i used blender to make the walls

[mellow plaza]

i know i am def not done at all with this area i am making but

i wanna showcase i guess the more environmental ambience of it, something you may see more often the further i develop the game

https://streamable.com/j2n2jv
(have to upload it to streamable cuz file size gotten too large lol)

and maybe on a later date, gonna remake this fire bell :)

(texture wise)

ill see though if the new one may look better than the old

[stone berry]

Yooo lookin fire

[mellow plaza]

aa tyy gmhs2 🙏

[minor moth]

very nice work bro 💯

[mellow plaza]

ty!! :D

[mellow plaza]

taking a bit of a small break for a bit, a bit of a burn out :( but things should hopefully start again when i am ready :>

[minor moth]

🙏

[mellow plaza]

hngng ghgng oh hey i am making a video for youtube for the first time in a while

and yes its sorta like a showcase video + cinematic

just like how i treated with srnic back then so uhh yej

[dawn olive]

Seems like I have missed a lot of stuff here lol

[mellow plaza]

dabedoo be doo

[mellow plaza]

and at last
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXf3DoBlA-E

[azure cloak]

OOOOOOHHHHHH

YESSSSSSSSS

I need to watch

[mellow plaza]

it may look like a trailer, sadly its not but hey
showcase :>

[dawn olive]

OHHH

IMA WATCH IT WHEN I ARRIVE TO MY HOUSE

Im at Walmart rn lmao

[minor moth]

I'll watch it after I come home

[limpid slate]

Beautiful! Keep up the good work

[azure cloak]

Hey I don’t know if this has been answered before but, How Will the game run on a shit PC? I really wanna try this out but I have a shitty probably around 5 year old windows 10.

[minor moth]

my 8GB RAM is about to explode :3

[azure cloak]

Also another question, there was an air strike video for this game right?

[mellow plaza]

tbh i dunno, I DO however have a very very shitty old laptop lying around lol

but i will have to wait almost 10 minute to boot it up and longer to even log in ☠️

so idk if it is even shittier than a average bad pc

[mellow plaza]

mhm, though that was from one of the older build of las cherung

it may still be in though, just probs a diff map layout

[azure cloak]

ah

[minor moth]

I just watch the video

it's fucking cool dude

sometime i didn't even think that is roblox

nice work 🎉

[mellow plaza]

tyy 🙏

[indigo pilot]

it's amazing

my laptop aboutta go meltdown from such beauty

[dawn olive]

I just saw the video, looks so fucking gooododd!!!!

[minor moth]

if the game releases, I will find the best spot and drawing stuff

[dawn olive]

personally, I think that the game development was completely worth it

[dawn olive]

lol

[minor moth]

the atmosphere and scenery is great

[dawn olive]

yea

[mellow plaza]

these comments really makes me happy
for a while i was struggling with LCNES, especially for uhh, during summer, wondering if its worth it

thanks guys, this really means alot.

[dawn olive]

np

your work is always amazing lol

also dont forget to DM me when LCNES get released

[minor moth]

Take your time, you doing great 🎉

we can waiting for you

[mellow plaza]

thanks guys :)

btw, i edited the captions, so you can hear the voices if you didnt hear it right over the music lol

[woeful storm]

WOOOO

[small pivot]

🔥

[woeful storm]

btw when will the game have its release date?

[thorn fable]

Amazing video, just noticed this and wanna recommend a small thing, you could change the text on the vault door to "Fortified" instead of "Secured" since that term also fits the era.

[sullen oar]

that mf's got the most wise and majestic voice ive ever heard

[mellow plaza]

thanks lol (thats me)

[sullen oar]

damn ur good at that shit

[hollow jay]

I started following you since UFR chamber showcase i guess and OH MY GOD XERO IT'S FUCKING BEAUTIFUL I NEVER SAW SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT AND QUALITY

[mellow plaza]

oh really?? and thanks!!!

[indigo pilot]

reactor testing site 02 basically archived now, right?

[mellow plaza]

pretty much yeah, its within CS: Archives (or alternatively, can be searched up on roblox)

[mellow plaza]

man i love making these silly maps

"global uniting, to reach prosperity"
totally not just a blunt lie

tbh im not sure what symbol does exactly represent columbia

as of now its just simply a star cut in half lol

columbia, a totalitaristic-behaved nation, def not america in this world

and within the time period of LCNES (10/14/1964), on a brink of collapse from political instability n a certain event that will crumble the nation in a cataclysmic level

its gonna be a long way ahead to finalize the story / lore lmao

and tbh, i sometimes question weither or not i may explain the lore here (aside from it not being done, or potentially may change in the future, it is also talks alot about politics i guess? they are fictional but i dont wanna cause much too much of a trouble

lcnes has its own set of smaller lore to itself (sorta seperate), this is more about the actual larger geopolitical story that lcnes sets in lol

so i guess think like 1984

[rough cloud]

oh boy i sure do hope my computer runs this completely fi

violent implosion

[minor moth]

nah screw CPU we ball

[indigo pilot]

we ball

[warped zealot]

wouldnt “global unity, to reach prosperity” make more sense

i think the cutthroat star works well as a symbol

maybe do something like the AZ flag design

i got an idea

ill be back in a bit

“global unity under columbian prosperity”
“globally united we stand”
“globally united in the search of prosperity”
“global unity, one mission”

[nova jungle]

aaand he left

[mellow plaza]

?

Oh.

[mellow plaza]

Going on a rest for a bit, my friends will continue the development while i take a break.

I will be back when i feel better :(

[rustic aurora]

Alright, I wish the best for you!

[mellow plaza]

so i didnt realize the fourm dissapears from the list after few days of inactivety, so i was scouraging through the creators-corner list to find it lol

anyways, i think i am back now, had to deal alot of personal issues, am okay now
i guess back to showcasing, introducing pipes

[sand wolf]

nice pipe

[mellow plaza]

they sorta look like portal 2 yeah, and i dont blame ya
i actually made it in blender :> made for a friend of mine, tix

[sand wolf]

ooo

epic

[mellow plaza]

which he also allowed me to use it for my game too, so that was kind for him to share the thing i made for him lol

some closeups

babading

[sand wolf]

ooo

[mellow plaza]

so i suppose development is resuming back normally

[sand wolf]

yippppeee!!!

[mellow stone]

got damn those are BEAUTIFUL

[mellow plaza]

fhdjsjhgf thank you 🙏

[rough cloud]

no fair i dont know bender

:(

wah

[mellow plaza]

well, i dunno what else to say other than i suggest only learning what you want to do on blender (for me, modeling, i just ignore everything else

[limpid slate]

yaaayy progress!!

[mellow plaza]

thee canister of goodies

unlabeled, idk what this contains lol

oblivious canister of beans

[minor moth]

ooooooooooo this is awesome

Probably contains DELI MEAT

Amazing stuff tho xero

Great work

[pine thunder]

Why he sad

[mellow plaza]

well, the cherungian life style may not be for everyone
especially in a dying nation

[pine thunder]

Don't know what that means but it looks awsome so cool

So what are game are u makin

[mellow plaza]

las cherung nuclear experimental site

as always

or simply "Las Cherung"

[pine thunder]

From what I've seen it's a fallout style game??

Atleast what the UI looks like

[mellow plaza]

funnily enough i never played fallout before
i dont know its lore LOL

think of it a dystopia-type game

[limpid slate]

ok maybe one more sneak peek

oh shit selection box jumpscare

nah wait hold on

random corrider

[minor moth]

:O

[pine thunder]

I love the realistic shading/lighting and textures

[mellow plaza]

thank yaa!

[limpid slate]

that’s so cool

good job

[pine thunder]

You always make the coolest stuff dude

[mellow plaza]

HFGNJHDGFHN WHY BRICK ROTAT

[limpid slate]

I want to throw up at this sight
what happened to the bricks

[minor moth]

LMFAO

[mellow plaza]

and lastly some more rocks

with blending to look like actual rocks on sands

instead sticking out like a sore thumb

[limpid slate]

SAME ROCK DIFFERENT ANGLE!!! 🔥

[mellow plaza]

me and tix has been working on this area for a while now, he helped me alot with setting stuff up :>

[pine thunder]

Yooo it actually looks like a photo

[mellow plaza]

now considering how much stuff there is in this area, i am worried it may be unoptimized or laggy

so i will ask my other friend bout some concerns regarding optimization

i hope some of the mesh i made is optmized enough while at the same time not too low poly

such as the fence

which i think i showcase earlier

[pine thunder]

I'm guessing you do have a low quality mode planned, right

[mellow plaza]

with tpology improvement

[mellow plaza]

i was thinking, its uhh really up to how the game is structured though
but thatis something we hope to achieve lol

[pine thunder]

I'm sure it would combust low end PC's if it didn't but yeah

[mellow plaza]

manipulating lighting settings, yeah, should be easy

unsure bout map changes to make it more optimize with a switch of a toggle

[pine thunder]

Ok

Yall ever think roblox will support Ray tracing

Rtx

Stuff like that

[mellow plaza]

roblox will HAVE to make the engine more suitable and efficent before that LOL

if ever

[pine thunder]

Knowing roblox; never.

[mellow plaza]

but that would be pretty cool

yipe real mirrors

[pine thunder]

Yeah

Blackhawk rescue mission 5 would be nuts. It tries to replicate real light but has its shortcomings

[rough cloud]

god. no.

with the shitty lighting engine roblox has, they'd have to practically rewrite ALL of the code relating to rendering

[mellow plaza]

mhm

[sullen oar]

am i the only one who finds these places lowkey scary

i'd probably get murdered walking there

[runic walrus]

Nah I agree with you

[mellow plaza]

i mean that was intentionally made to express that sort of feeling

[hollow jay]

Some abandoned deep underground areas with barely any light would be creepy too

[mellow plaza]

tbh
mood (idk lmfao)

more showcase

a natural cave system used to make construction of las cherung theoretically easier?? (idk)

[minor pawn]

Please add ventilation, i cant breath

But nice build

[mellow plaza]

thank u

[mellow plaza]

The Federation
Overview Map i made in blender :) trying to mimic those televised rendering people made in the 40s that you seen during WW2

Non-Filtered Version

[pastel karma]

Xero quick question, is cosmic science going to be in this universe?

[mellow plaza]

from how different our ideas between me and anteraska, probs not lol
(thats up to anteraska to answer though, but i think we have vastly different idea when it comes to these stuff

[minor pawn]

Does columbia still like USA

[mellow plaza]

it is def not in any shape or form like usa

let me tell you that LOL

[minor pawn]

I mean like

Uh

Like the government

Selling weapon

Or any other

That America do in WWII

[mellow plaza]

columbia is more of a totalitarism regime

[minor pawn]

Interesting

[mellow plaza]

it is a very influencal nation in this world though, but i would have to sorta have to messily explain many context for understanding it lol just know it as some form of tyrant entity

in fact i believe i did made the global map of this world a while ago

ye here lol

[limpid slate]

OOOOOH 3D MAP

EXCELLENT

[mellow plaza]

thanhkya

[minor moth]

damn, it's look so detail
1985/10

[mellow plaza]

oH yeah before i forget

was made in blender :)

several hours to do tho

[minor pawn]

Damn

[mellow stone]

duude that literally looks like one of those WWII modern documentaries lmao

if you want to specifically go for the 40s stylization I recommend you use some other shader rendering to make it hand-drawn looking

and maybe make the text a bit clearer as it's hard to read

but gdamn

[torn ruin]

howd you made them

[mellow plaza]

im really thinking to try to draw it by hand and see how it turns out lol

the rendering was uhh! sorta based off one of those old ww2 hungarian world news

heard of it?

[mellow plaza]

the mesh or?

[torn ruin]

yea the pipes

[mellow plaza]

in blender, mainly did some extrusions, beveling, unsure how else to explain it-

Awesome. I really like the map

[mellow plaza]

thank ya

some more sneak peak, almost done making this area, potentially showcasing the full extend of it soon

[sinful fiber]

looks pretty cool

damn

[mellow plaza]

new map coming soon, this time focusing the states, of columbia >:)

yeah it is heavily different than from usa lol

rip california, for the better tbh

[torn ruin]

agree

for got sake pls keep texas

[limpid slate]

the republic of Texas

[brave reef]

smh removing texas would be good (texan here)

[mellow plaza]

well

[hasty lake]

how 2 be good at texturing

[hollow heron]

If new Jersey stays I'm going to be angry

/j

[minor pawn]

remove ohio please

[hollow heron]

Remove R.I.

And uhhh

Wyoming

What even is Wyoming anyways 💀

[mellow plaza]

manlemmedoitgrr

(lmao

[hollow heron]

And keep Kansas because I like rectangles

Amazing shape fr

[minor pawn]

wonder is there still new york

or dont exist

[hollow heron]

Praying it doesn't exist

[mellow plaza]

smh

[torn ruin]

Texas

[limpid slate]

Keep my boy Washington, will ya? he’s a good little state

[mellow plaza]

well i just finished the west coast of columbia (more specifically, the states)

made some few variants, such as name, cities, and government occupation (by columbia)

the government occupational zone is just uhh, areas where mainly the area is sorta in martial law (or military occupation) or small regions own by columbia and not the state itself (meaning the state with these zones cant do much about it nor enforce its law on these regions)

so uhh, las cherung and st. rivera (woa yes, it exist in the decay world) are mainly just controlled by the central government, mainly due to established facilities within those areas

the govern' california on the other hand...

yeah i need to sort out why it is under military control lol

when california get not only partitioned into smaller states but also get hecked by columbia

[sand wolf]

military affiliated research facilities 🤤

[mellow plaza]

not really, govern' california is esentially
oppressed

[sand wolf]

aw

still

[limpid slate]

Utah looks like the top of Chads head

[mellow plaza]

im fucking dead ☠️

[mellow plaza]

also shoutout to @minor moth
you saved me from agony when inkscape crashed and couldn't find my files right away 😭

i owe you alot for that one LOL

[minor moth]

np bro

[torn ruin]

damit

california has an own thing

atleast the facilities are there🤷

jk

[mellow plaza]

well columbia has broke california into several states and enforce a military order in govern' california lol
again i need to sorta set it together on why that is the case (it isnt too important in lcnes, its just a excuse for me to make more lore background lol)

[brave reef]

[mellow plaza]

a bit better map to distinguish type of occupational control

[nova jungle]

so the rest is just anarchy?

[mellow plaza]

as in like, outside of those government controlled areas?

[nova jungle]

yep

[mellow plaza]

if so, nope, it just that those regions of government control is where the state cant enforce their law into those regions

despite it being part of the state's territory, think of it like a offlimits area

government do whatever it wants in those regions (mainly a regulated area to establish nuclear production sites)

[nova jungle]

oh ok

[mellow stone]

oh man that is very good

you make such great map stuff

I'd recommend you reduce the tile sizing of the terrain infill texture though, when zooming it comes as like low res

but not by much tbh, it's just a small pick

[mellow plaza]

thank ya!!! and yee, i was using inkscape default textures, i believe i could make my own one but unsure how it works exactly lol

[mellow stone]

ooh yeah patterns suck in graphic software

[minor pawn]

how cool

[mellow stone]

In Photoshop you can't resize a pattern

[mellow plaza]

also made inkscape crashed several times for me LOL

[mellow stone]

LOL too awesome for the program

[mellow plaza]

i will say sometimes i have a love hate relationship with inkscape
good for me to make stuff like this lol
lags as fuck when i try to make stuff like this

[minor pawn]

that seem laggy as hell

[minor moth]

eh

[mellow plaza]

well i do know the issues, like recently

[minor moth]

I can run inkscape just fine

[mellow plaza]

i just have these settings on LOL

so it was trying to calculate allat 😭 but even if disabled

moving around the map is very studdering

since yknow
alot of stuff it has to load in

[mellow plaza]

also one more thing i just noticed and cannot look away lmfao

[regal relic]

😋

[mellow plaza]

oH HI LAVA

[regal relic]

HI XERO

[mellow plaza]

potential new game icon for las cherung :)

(took a while to set up, btw charlie is the character seen in this icon lol)

heavily worned out look, not mainly to symbolize industrialism but rather the dystopia las cherung takes place in.

its not a clean place, for sure

to be honest, i really love how it turned out, i may be over analyzing the image but it does create a sense of dread, at least for me

i may change some of it a bit (like color wise but, i think for now its fine)

[pine thunder]

That's a really good icon
I like it

[mellow plaza]

thank ya 👍

[minor moth]

Masterpiece.

I definitely love it ⭐

[minor pawn]

Look like a photo

[mellow plaza]

tyy

[mellow plaza]

and lol

[limpid slate]

oooh this is lovely

good job

[mellow plaza]

sliding doors :3
i reference it off of one of those portal 2 old office slide doors thingy

slapped in some window, give it a texture and marking and ye

will ask a friend of mine to set it up to be functional :>

[limpid slate]

ohmygod those are so pretty

they look so real

[mellow plaza]

ty!!

was searching online and found a ideal sound for these noors

modified it in audacity to make it uhh fitting (just some cropping)

[sullen oar]

these look like they could malfunction at any second and crush you to death

cutely

[full delta]

How can you imagine that..... Are you a hitman dev? lol

[mellow plaza]

the door is done!! scripted by my good friend mr_tix6v2 :>

[minor pawn]

Better not put hand between the door

[indigo pilot]

door 👍

[sullen oar]

i think there should also be a sensor above the door

[minor moth]

The door 🚪

[mellow plaza]

noor

[mellow plaza]

atm i dont have nothing to showcase other than i have updated the group description and the logo for cobalt science :>

new group icon

(whoa, technically sneak peak as that background is the area i am working on LOL

real,,

im joining the degraded look club!!!!!!

i wont show the group description here as thats, probs sounds like promoting lol, i did change it so it no longer showcases the old group idea or storyline

again the degraded look is just a representation of the story i gave for cobalt, the decay lol
not the ye' old industrialism dirty look

[torn ruin]

Nice!

[mellow plaza]

ty!

[minor pawn]

The logo remind me something

[mellow plaza]

oh really?

[mellow plaza]

hmmm

[minor pawn]

Just replace it and flip it abit and yeah

[mellow plaza]

ok if i have to be honest, when i designed the cobalt logo, it was ment for a old fusion game project LOL

so the logo represent two hydrogen atom fusing into helium

but then i sorta dropped that project and went fission

[minor pawn]

Oh cool

[mellow plaza]

so the logo
idek it represent LOL it just become a symbol to know "oh hey its cobalt"

[minor pawn]

It a V

[mellow plaza]

yej

interesting, idek how i didnt see it that way lol

[limpid slate]

https://tenor.com/view/steam-gif-19272966

Looks more like the steam logo to me

[mellow plaza]

lol

[limpid slate]

I could be crazy tho

(I probably am)

[minor pawn]

Steam icon just

It look like a piston

Yea is it

[sullen oar]

logo does look alot like the share button

they copied you

[dawn olive]

^

[torn ruin]

lol xD

[knotty haven]

how do modeling

[torn ruin]

xD

[mellow plaza]

game test real (not much to test since everything is sorta bare bones lol)

and now time to reveal the area!!

lemme obtain some 4k screenshots

more stuff may be added but introducing the brand new
Florence Junction (more expansive, now in a more ideal cave system

[mellow plaza]

made some smaller changes

[limpid slate]

omfg this is so cool

public game test whenn

[mellow plaza]

finalized some screenshots, this is by far probs one of my favorite scenaries i ever made in las cherung

so far

las cherung is becoming peformance heavy though, which suprisngly took a while for some issues to occur
i will discuss with my friend on what would we do next, hopefully we may find up a ideal and easy to reach method of optimization

ill be honest with that, low end pc may be struggling with this, but hopefully we could optimize the game some more (though i believe it is obs what is causing most of the heavy peformance taking LOL

though i will say, shadowmap isnt too bad

though future is what i esentially now work on, wish us luck 🤘

[earnest sage]

man roblox really does absolutely shit itself as soon as you try to be somewhat ambitious with lighting doesnt it

very sad because it limits people like you who otherwise pump out actual masterpieces

[hasty lake]

this is amazing

what the freak

[mellow plaza]

thank ya!!

[indigo pilot]

that's absolute fire as usual🔥

[minor moth]

DAMNN

haven't check channel for a while

good work 🔥🔥

[sullen oar]

xero the type of person to shade and heavily work on textures for a random barrel thats supposed to rot on the concrete

(jokes aside thought thats literally so fucking cool)

[sinful fiber]

do something like blox fruit's fast mode, when used it unloads unnecessary assets, graphics, lighting, all of that stuff

[sinful fiber]

lmao real (i have massive respect for him)

tho honestly this stuff looks so cool 🔥🔥🔥

i think ur pretty underrated

[mellow plaza]

thank ya!!!

[mellow plaza]

oh noes mud

i just wanna showcase some more pbr textures (not made by me, im still yet to learn to make custom terrain or seamless pbr materials)

[limpid slate]

MUD

[sand wolf]

😋 🤤

[limpid slate]

I mean

pudding

mmm pudding

[minor moth]

nice texture here

[torn ruin]

Give me an Jar of it

[obtuse epoch]

give me textures pls 🥺

[mellow plaza]

https://ambientcg.com/list?category=&date=&createdUsing=&basedOn=&q=mud&method=&type=&sort=Popular

though the one i have i modified it a bit to yknow

[obtuse epoch]

which one is it

[mellow plaza]

fit in the desert sandy environment

i uh forgot

i think it was this?

https://ambientcg.com/view?id=Ground050

[torn ruin]

give me a jar of mud.

[mellow plaza]

to lazy to make jar

have a block of mud

[obtuse epoch]

how do you paint terrain using custom pbr

[mellow plaza]

i override it

its in the material manager i think

[obtuse epoch]

you cant see the normal

it looks normal on a part but it doesn't on terrain

[mellow plaza]

well i made sure this is tick but thats all i could say- it should do that (i also advise probs going outside of this thread lol, last time we gotten offtrack here ☠️ )

[mellow plaza]

Dirty Crate (model made by my friend tix :> i did the texturing)

two varients of this crate (left is clean, the right is sandy or dirty)

[obtuse epoch]

gfnchjbmjn,

HOW ARE YOU THIS GOOD

[mellow plaza]

uhh idk

[minor pawn]

[indigo pilot]

Xero on his way to model and texture that one thing in corner that isn't even visible due to darkness in corner

[sullen oar]

its a box of wind

[sand wolf]

TINY

:3

[woeful storm]

in xero, we trust 🙏

[runic walrus]

I showed this to my guitar teacher and asked him what game engine he thought it was made in. He said Unreal Engine, so whatever you are doing keep doing it.

[mellow plaza]

lol, awesome
and thank ya!!

[runic walrus]

YW, it’s rlly good work

[sullen oar]

w guitar teacher

[mellow plaza]

blending with the environment n stuf

[mellow plaza]

also i uhh once again remodeled the lamp models i have
older one has some odd shading that i cant ignore

i also made some different variations of these lamps in the mean while :> (also some unnessecary effect lol)

old one (sorta same but some weird shading areas plus a bit too high poly with its base

especially the uhh central part thingy that goes into the light, for some reason i didnt like how i made that one in the older one lmfao

the light does flicker! (using the particle effect for the flickering effect)

ignore the music in the background i was playing some music LMFAO

[minor moth]

These are, perfection.

[mellow plaza]

dshjkfsj thank ya

[minor moth]

💡

[obtuse epoch]

xero on his way to create enough details in a lightbulb to crash a high end gaming pc just by looking at it

[mellow plaza]

maybe

[sinful fiber]

lmao

[sinful fiber]

omg these looks so gooddd

look at the amount of detail in that one place goddamn

[dawn olive]

Looks 20 times better than mine 😭

I like it btw lol

[pine thunder]

Sorry I haven't checked in in awhile but scrolling upwards, Awesome as usual. I love how you make the textures so realistic.

They look like photos sometimes.

[tiny jolt]

give

[mellow plaza]

custom particle effects i made from a drawing app

i sadly deny 😔

[mellow plaza]

and thank ya!!

[mellow plaza]

urs is still nevertheless, good in my eyes :>>

[limpid slate]

That looks perfect! Great job.

[mellow plaza]

the lights has been textured (left being the new texture i just gave, right is the surface material thing)

[limpid slate]

OOOH

PRETTY

[mellow plaza]

ty!!

[pine thunder]

very pretty glow

[mellow plaza]

ty!! :D

[mellow plaza]

new window frames (took a while to make ae)

as always, the left is the new one :>

the other one (right) is i believe a old freemodel i found a year ago? cant exactly remember other than reusing it for older las cherung versions

but its time to let that go

is modular too, so i can get rid of the bars or add more of em n such

[sullen oar]

bro fr turned a light bulb showcase into a cinematic masterpiece

[indigo pilot]

the fact that xero works on amazing decorations knowing full well some people might not even pay attention to these

some just get carried away by gameplay

[mellow plaza]

i am fully aware of the fact these minor details may be overlooked
but i find it so much fun to make these lmfao

since I myself like to look at such small details

in my eyes, minor details like this is what emphasize the passion and dedication that the game was worked on

[indigo pilot]

True that

I like environments that actually feel alive

and not made just for passing by

[sand wolf]

dude i love buildings like those (offices,etc.) inside huge areas

[mellow plaza]

i am not in my pc rn lmfao (will do when i get home

[sand wolf]

[mellow plaza]

same

[sand wolf]

AYEEE

[mellow stone]

oh jesus christ this all looks absolutely amazing

[limpid slate]

can’t wait to play this

you put so much effort into the smallest things like window frames

[mellow plaza]

thank ya!!!

[mellow plaza]

the wire frames is eh? (especially the glass bulb) but mainly due to the fact i beveled it lol

i tried to decimate the sphere a bit

though any lower would create some weird shading affected with auto smooth

which greatly annoys me who like things nice and smooth lmfao

window frame is okayish, again the beveling usually what takes up more trangle

rn im uhh not expanding the map yet and just rn remaking some models or making new one before i continue any further

next up would be these wacky oldstyle windows

[minor pawn]

Remind me my friend 2 million parts game

[mellow plaza]

dont get me wrong, i liek em, is a image too though i am curious if i could esentially remake em, i did made them before i knew much bout blender so

[mellow plaza]

and oo

gah damn lol

[minor pawn]

You can play it

[mellow plaza]

i am interested, can lend me the link in dms

i may try to play it later

[minor pawn]

There

[minor pawn]

Is this just a decal

[mellow plaza]

pretty much

lmfao

[mellow plaza]

the window

has been remade

a bit more cleaner to look at too (in terms of design lol)

[limpid slate]

holy shit

why does it look real

[minor moth]

This window is better tbh

[mellow plaza]

the new one?

[minor moth]

yeah, it's look more cleaner than the new one

[mellow plaza]

ahh, thank ya lol

[minor moth]

mmmm you're welcome

[slim parrot]

the triangles

try in the future

doing a normal transfer from high to low poly

or weighing the normals

[mellow plaza]

hmm, that's somethin i didnt knew about, i will look into it 👍

also suprise model time

portal 2 inspired lamp (old las cherung used to have these sot of lamps)

and ofc custom textures per usual

[slim parrot]

nice uv unwrap

[mellow plaza]

uv unwrap is a bit wonky lol
there is some areas with noticable borders

on the top and bottom primarily

[mellow plaza]

modified the particles on the lamb

i think i shall rest'th now

[indigo pilot]

I wanna eat this thing

[mellow plaza]

alrighty
idk who likes pipe models BUT i got a showcase to show that includes
pipes

old cherungian pipe models i made almost a year ago, i believe i actually showed it here at one point (or somewhere else), texture was made only with blender n stuff, and back then i just started using blender

and now

i have remade em :> (now with different variations and possibly more to come)

assembled look (including all the pipes so far)

[indigo pilot]

Pipes 🔧

[minor moth]

"metal_pipe_sound.mp3"

[mellow plaza]

more pipe examples

also included this some random pipe with weird insulator thing

dunno what it does as i just thought this from the back of my head lol

looks cool to me though

[sinful fiber]

goddamn

this stuff looks so cool

[mellow stone]

you never cease to amaze me jesus

[sinful fiber]

[woeful storm]

ur creaions just keep getting better n better as time goes by

[sullen oar]

i wanna see those blown up so bad

also how did you make the steam effect in BFGI reactor

[regal relic]

OMG IS THAT AN EXPANSION JOINT?!?!?

[mellow plaza]

IS THAT WHAT IT IS??? (since i was thinking and had no idea what i made ☠️

it just appear in my head and i go "yes i should make this"

[torn ruin]

WOW

epic pipes

how do you dooo thatt stuff

[mellow plaza]

i believe it was just a simple particle effect with a smoke image
nothing fancy, aside from different rotationspeed, and the type of smoke image (spherical smoke like the default roblox smoke icon isnt the best to use

if that makes sense?

[sullen oar]

okay yeah

[hollow jay]

Btw what is BFGI reactor?

[mellow plaza]

i think bartlomiej fusion generation insitute, a old project of mine i showcased before going into SRNIC (total industrialism)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkgT3thdA4s

back when i sorta build modern-like stuff,,,,

[hollow jay]

Oh i love that one!

tbh your creations were big inspiration for me

[mellow plaza]

oh really?

[mellow plaza]

for now, dirty one

[minor pawn]

bohoo

what you gonna use that penny for

[mellow plaza]

probs like some decorative thing in some unregulated shops around the facility (yknow some being stacked in the corner lol)

or just, something to keep and not use in lcnes lmfao

idk i just wanted to satisfy the urge to make coin

[minor pawn]

hmm nice

[mellow plaza]

clean one is on the right
