# timid slate

i dont wanna be rude, this looks quite silly lmfao

but i see your idea :>

mossy cypress
#

thats not really how pipes break

#

but yeah its funny

#

Im no scripter but what I recomend you do is have an effect hide it switching out the fixed model with a broken one

#

so the rock hits, a poof of smoke hides the model, and then it switches

#

to maybe one with a dent

honest jungle
#

or at most, one of the pipe still attach to the rest instead of a entire section falling out

timid slate
#

yeah im not very good at making facillity destruction

honest jungle
# timid slate light

it is pretty cool, though uhh i may suggest tweaking the glass bulb model a bit?

#

Im assuming you use neon for the glass (since it looks like a solid color)

#

consider experimenting with glass materials or other materials like foil?

timid slate
honest jungle
#

actually!!! there is a way

#

if u are using particles

#

Inside the properties there should be a thing called "ZOffset"

#

esentially its like what is the placement of the particle compare to the camera, higher value, the more closer it is to the camera view?

#

so esentially in a way... it moves the particle to front of some things depending the distances

timid slate
#

thanks

honest jungle
#

hence! able to do stuff like this!!

#

and yw

timid slate
#

looks so much better

honest jungle
#

mhm, tweak the values to your desire, just dont go overboard with the value, or else the particle can dissapear lol

timid slate
#

yeah

timid slate
#

finished my other lightbulb variant and added a pulsing effect

honest jungle
#

icee

timid slate
#

i dont know if i should do rusty or clean

honest jungle
#

what are those to be exact?

timid slate
#

started working on the control room

honest jungle
#

ooh that is a pretty interesting style choice
though with the rust, make sure to not make it too rusty? explore with different textures

#

to balance out the aged materials

timid slate
#

yeah

#

the textures for the desks are temporary

#

im gonna try to find better ones later

timid slate
#

added dirt to the glass

honest jungle
#

hm
interesting light choice

#

by any chance did you base it off of my model lamp?

never the less pretty cool, just find it very familar

timid slate
#

i just dont have two seperate bulbs

honest jungle
#

ahh gotcha, is great though!

timid slate
#

im still kind of learning blender

#

but

#

i know how to model mostly in it

honest jungle
#

ahh ic

timid slate

added a mounting thing to it

Hey. Heres two asset sounds that are better than old ones.

Neutron Injectors: rbxassetid://566323580 (Playback Speed: 0.42)
laser thing on the top of the core: rbxassetid://6463797828 rbxassetid://6463798080 (Playback Speed: 0.5)
Remember that these 2 assets for laser thing are separated.
The left one is that thing begins to move. The right one is that thing stops moving.

You should try other meshes than this simple holo, and make sure its spinning by using script.

i noticed that the blue pulses coming from the top are a lot smoother

they stuttered a little before

timid slate
#

yeah

fresh sleet

so amazing

timid slate

its because my recording software was at a low framerate

are you looking for any devs btw

nope

yeah

i had devs in the last project

respect though thats some hard work you put in

timid slate

but they went on their own games

fresh sleet

ah makes sense

timid slate

but im doing better than i did last time

i just used the vhs effect from it

#

and used a diffrent editor for the main stuff

glass warren
#

you could turn down the chromatic aberration i think

#

there is wayyy too much of it

timid slate
#

i just figured out how to make a vhs effect in the editor it was made in

#

so

#

this should look better

not a big fan of the flashing

added some textures to the lightbulbs

rocky bay
#

do you use substance painter

timid slate
#

i use a diffrent program

#

thats actually free

honest jungle
#

i believe blender ya used to make textures?

timid slate
#

nope

honest jungle
#

ooh kk

timid slate
#

i used a program called quixel mixer

#

which is still being worked on

honest jungle
#

oHH i heard about it but never really tried it

timid slate
#

but all you need is an epic account to login to it

honest jungle
#

oh thats why i never tried it, i dont have one LOL

#

awesome tho

timid slate
#

i really just didnt feel like spending 200$ just for a small project

honest jungle
#

yeah, theres also other good free texturing programs, i like armor paint iirc?

though you have to compile it yourself if you dont want to pay for a finish build of it

#

i tried it and its quite fast considering it uses your gpu, have nodes like blender, though never really get to utilizie it as much

timid slate
#

ill check it out

timid slate
#

on github

#

because i kept getting errors

#

but

#

it works

honest jungle
#

o ye you can do that
i compiled mines so it works well with my system

timid slate
#

so i dont need to spend an hour fixing syntax errors

#

honestly armorpaint has less features than quixel so i think i might just stick with quixel

honest jungle

something like that

not neon bright but like

abandoned train station converted into a utility storage room

timid slate
#

redid the chamber bottom

#

pretty happy about it

#

might make some things more detailed as it looks super low quality

timid slate
#

so ive switched to using particle emitters for the reactor heat effect and it turned out better than making a sphere neon and using transparency

honest jungle
#

it is by a long shot

#

especialy when you have a custom particle for it :)

timid slate
#

most of the effects in the chamber are just the default roblox smoke effect

Eh still make sense cause like if you walk down one way but find out it's wrong, you wasted time walking down the wrong way

#

On top of directional markers (probably painted on the wall, would look cool slightly faded) i would recommend designing some posters for the company. But overall, this is incredibly cool! I have a lot of appreciation for the use of textures and handmade meshes here, absolutely beautiful product. I think it would also be cool to hear a bit more about the actual core, forgive me if this was already said, but I myself am doing a fusion reactor (of which I presume is what you're doing by the name) and to hear more an explanation of how you're working out its operation scientifically would be interesting. Overall, incredibly cool so far! Especially from a solo dev! (as am I, I know the struggle lol)

timid slate
#

im still tyring to figure out what to do for that

mental canyon
#

ooh yikes

#

thats probably pretty important

timid slate
#

i have a rough idea on how i think it should work

mental canyon
#

have you outlined what it uses? is it like deuterium/tritium?

timid slate
#

exactly what you said

timid slate
#

im currently helping a friend who moved on from the core community that started a fairly decent game that i do get paid for

mental canyon
#

same honestly, im soloing my project and my scripter quit so its basically just a building showcase now. i'm starting to lose my will to work on it, however i did manage to publish the "first" hydroelectric power plant on roblox, KHP, which is cool and all but with its lack of functionality I barely count it. probably been beat to it anyway-

#

ive really just moved on to other works now

timid slate
#

making an old generator

honest jungle
#

super cool, ive been wanting to make those for a while for other stuff
cant wait to see the area you gonna make that will house these
