alex's pit of hell

[fresh flicker]

looks great :3

[graceful warren]

i have one more thing i could show

but i can also show it when it's done

[fresh flicker]

reminds me of a ps1 game

very nice

[graceful warren]

3...

[fresh flicker]

oh fr?

[graceful warren]

nah 3 different people have said that already lmao

[fresh flicker]

the textures remind me one tho

[fresh flicker]

OHHH

[graceful warren]

i'm counting

[fresh flicker]

(i love ps1 styled games)

talking abt ps3 i should play stuff on mine

and maybe add more games to it

[graceful warren]

tomorrow i may have something new and fancy to show

[fresh flicker]

[graceful warren]

we (i) are (am) hard at work (doing hardly anything)

[rapid warren]

Brainrot 😭😭

[safe path]

Horrible game, nice computer

[ornate night]

scripting if it was good:

[graceful warren]

change this to today's tomorrow

today was my lazy day

[vital valley]

Talking about old stuff i have something like DVD tape

Alot

[fresh flicker]

omg brainrot retro edition

[safe path]

where the hell you getting those textures from

[graceful warren]

i make them myself

[safe path]

how if i can ask

[graceful warren]

i make a normal texture in substance painter, export it

then i use a program to give it a pixel art upscaling and dithering effect, and export them as a 1k texture so there isn't much quality loss when uploading to roblox

the program I use is SLK_img2pixel

it both pixel crunches and upscales output at the same time

wait

this is the complete wrong

[graceful warren]

sorry i thought you were asking about the stuff i've been working on recently, i just found these in the toolbox

and got some from xero

[safe path]

naaaa both answers are good im just curious cause that looks amazing

thanks for answering lul

[graceful warren]

you're welcome!

[graceful warren]

i am going to be making textures for the time being

[fresh flicker]

omg textur

[graceful warren]

today's final concoction

just asking so i can know if i should post often or keep them rare, but have them be larger

[graceful warren]

now that the council has spoken, here's another one

[graceful warren]

looking at it now the arm seems a teensy bit long

[safe path]

It kinda does look long

[graceful warren]

i might try to remake it

would be the third time, but the unwrap on it is awful anyways

[dawn fulcrum]

Just like angle it down a bit

ez

[graceful warren]

it is dusted

it's about ~3.4k tris for the whole model

and yes the arm is adjustable

still needs a couple cables but it's effectively done

[vital valley]

crane

[graceful warren]

these will probably populate a lot of the industrial outdoors

[ebon plaza]

reminded me immediately of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdsDid3CSO4

very very cool

[fresh flicker]

omaygat cren

[vital valley]

Spinning crane

[graceful warren]

i was unironically thinking of making a crane carry the player's car around

[graceful warren]

i cast necromancy

[undone escarp]

Yo??? Lookin' good.

[fresh flicker]

omg reactor

[covert thistle]

damn im jealous of how good this stuff is

[red wing]

🙏🙏🙏

(and again i forgor about this thread sorry )

[graceful warren]

I didn't post anything for a full month either, so i don't blame you

[fresh flicker]

the textures are really cool

[ebon plaza]

that is beautiful

[graceful warren]

thank you!

[fresh flicker]

chat is this roblox?

[covert thistle]

holy

chat is that safe?

looks very awesome

[graceful warren]

it is about to crumble to pieces

[covert thistle]

well

then it seems safe👍

[fresh flicker]

fuck yea

[covert thistle]

idk why but it reminds me of the three mile island disaster

[fresh flicker]

lmfao

[covert thistle]

Where they wanted to lift the reactor lid with a polar crane

but they didn't follow safety checks and there where concerns that it would literally die while lifting the lid and then the lid would fall back down hit the reactor pressure vessel and basically initialize the meltdown

luckily they didn't do it

random ass story 👍

[graceful warren]

I have been granted access to the school conputer

[graceful warren]

when i get home i'm going to try to make some extra brick materials, especially since i am using the same one literally everywhere at the moment

[vital valley]

No way

[fresh flicker]

:3

[covert thistle]

quick question, why is thr floor purple 💀

[graceful warren]

I have yet to make a texture for it

[vital valley]

placeholder™️

[rapid warren]

It ourple

[covert thistle]

frrr

[covert thistle]

Milka cow but as a cat

[fresh flicker]

can we use this for. the dfts

plis

[graceful warren]

yes

[fresh flicker]

omg

[tiny crow]

arrgh i just noticed for some reason i have not been following this fourm (probs because i left the server prior)

buT I LOVE THE TEXTURING ON these models

its all dusty and industrialist, i love it

[graceful warren]

I am sure you can tell who's the inspiration here

[ebon plaza]

holy

it's like if every time I look in here you made a whole new game

this looks fantastic, as always

[graceful warren]

Come back next week for a portal remake

[fresh flicker]

portal 3 when?

[graceful warren]

Hey, as a little homage to my old things, i've fixed and published a couple of my older games for those that want to check them out
Will I post newer stuff here again at some point? I'm not sure, since I've been dedicating most of my time to working for a group that employs me, but I do have some ideas for some newer things, so I can't rule it out either =)
For now I hope y'all can enjoy these

HOLY WALL

[covert thistle]

Epicccc

Bro returneddd

[stone lily]

what the heck happened lol

[covert thistle]

the great void

[graceful warren]

it needed a bit of space

[covert thistle]

Just a little

[graceful warren]

But yeah I may do something in the vain of those games

...yes, another thing i'm starting and likely won't finish

shocker right?

[fresh flicker]

alex gaming???

[graceful warren]

gaming

[covert thistle]

epic gaming?

[graceful warren]

you may decide on that

[rapid warren]

what on earth happened to the embed

[dawn fulcrum]

LMAO

[graceful warren]

it is fucked bro i don't know

[undone escarp]

OH GOD LMAO.

[covert thistle]

weird it doesnt show it for me

[graceful warren]

I made a car today

[covert thistle]

Man idk I would hella enjoy a horror game if you'd made one

[rapid warren]

Very nice cat

[fresh flicker]

omg car

[graceful warren]

I have plans bro

[fresh flicker]

🤨

psychological horror where you turn into a furry?

[graceful warren]

Remove the furry part

[fresh flicker]

aw

[graceful warren]

I am not making changed pt2

[fresh flicker]

liar liar pants on fire

[graceful warren]

my pants are NOT on fire

[fresh flicker]

i can confirm that alex is lying

[graceful warren]

no you can't

where's your proof at

[covert thistle]

[vital valley]

he drive

[covert thistle]

fr

[covert thistle]

the cake is indeed a lie

[graceful warren]

i build and drive

[vital valley]

script it

[graceful warren]

When I get the motivation to I'll code it

[fresh flicker]

i can confirm that alex killed me in his car while driving

the banana mobile

[covert thistle]

bro has got more qualifications than my entire bloodline

[ebon plaza]

dudde wtf that is impressive

[graceful warren]

Thank you!

[graceful warren]

Haven't posted much in a long while but here's a wip control board i've been working on for the past couple days

(the 7 segment displays SUCKED to script)

Had to ask zoom to help fix them since they broke out of nowhere

[fresh flicker]

yo wtf thats so cool

[graceful warren]

Controls are still quite incomplete

but they are getting there

[fresh flicker]

looking forward to it

[hollow pilot]

ooo

Very hyper realistic

[fresh flicker]

i think blue would fit for those control rod thingies

[graceful warren]

I'm really not aiming for realism here

Just tryna make it fun to use

[fresh flicker]

nice

[graceful warren]

The entire building is already filled with blue accents tho

I want to use the yellow as a contrast

[fresh flicker]

was saying so it fits

[graceful warren]

One second

This is the current color scheme for the control room

I believe this looks great

[tiny crow]

that def looks real good

[graceful warren]

thank you!

Hopefully it will look even better with the little hint of orange when I get all the displays working

[tiny crow]

it probs will for sure

[graceful warren]

You know what

I'm just gonna test it

[fresh flicker]

ooh very lovely

[tiny crow]

yep, def looks good

[graceful warren]

I'll also still add annunciator boards and whatnot

[fresh flicker]

i love those lights

[graceful warren]

Hope the rest of the control room will turn out just as good then

just as a note it is very very small

[fresh flicker]

just like the chamber

very nice

[tiny crow]

ITS
how do i explain it

[fresh flicker]

reminds me of SL-1

[tiny crow]

i really love it when it small it just feels

so damn cozy

[fresh flicker]

ikr

i really need to get back to building

[graceful warren]

I'm gonna have to cram a break room in there too now

[fresh flicker]

just put like a table with 2 chairs

and a microwave on the table

[graceful warren]

i am NOT adding a cooking system

[tiny crow]

like, if im ever finish to some stuff for my game i would love to make a small room that would be a CR

[fresh flicker]

thats planned for dfnpp chill 😭

[tiny crow]

hey alex, i can totally send u some ref photos from my old scrapped project of mines, since it look similar design wise

maybe you can get some further insights with furniture placements and whatnot?

[graceful warren]

Sure thing, I'd love to see them!

[tiny crow]

alrighty! i got some to share with you

these are screenshot from my old scrapped project, CS: Dual Nucleonic Fission Reactor, and i suppose the small layout or material usage can be used to help you expand ur ideas?

[graceful warren]

I gotta say that the entire game is also very small

The entire thing is built on a 64 stud cubed footprint

[tiny crow]

this was way before i really got into industrialism LOL

and ooh

[graceful warren]

I don't know if I've put the pictures of it here yet

Doors are still placeholders as may be obvious

[fresh flicker]

damn u cooked

[tiny crow]

OH ive seen some of the wip of it in general discussion

[graceful warren]

I'm also not quite happy with the feedwater pumps yet

[tiny crow]

i really love the compact nature of it

[graceful warren]

It's a remake of an old game I made lmao

[tiny crow]

idk, i dont have claustophobia, but i feel like small spaces just feel cozy 💀 for me

[graceful warren]

THis is what I'm remaking

Back when everything I made was cold

[tiny crow]

oooh i see

yeah the improvement is def immense here

[graceful warren]

Actually in the same sort of style as this old thing

[tiny crow]

bed

[graceful warren]

I was planning to make this portal 2-esque story game where you escaped from some testing facility

Never went anywhere

[rapid warren]

🔥

[graceful warren]

I personally just cannot stop glazing these vents

i LOVE them

[tiny crow]

IKR

its also def the material use for it

[graceful warren]

Combined with the metal grating for the walls it just looks so good

I'm really glad I switched the handrails out for the grates

one could even say...

i'm grateful i did that

[tiny crow]

mhm

[graceful warren]

I will say that the machinery in this build in general is rather sub-par

The turbine looks alright

But the generators and pumps are just a very solid eh

They are very bland and flat

But yeah, it's like almost 3 am here so I'll get off for tonight

More updates soon maybe =)

[rapid warren]

Smooth pipes

[graceful warren]

They have unhardened normals on the very edges which I really do not like

[graceful warren]

Also, sorry if it seemed like I ignored this lol
Got a bit sidetracked, but I'll definitely give this a look since this does have some elements I think would fit nicely into the control room
so thank you!

[tiny crow]

no worries, and yw!

[chilly willow]

You can fix that by going in and selecting everything, press alt n and recalculate outside or you can just clear sharp on the edges which look like that

[graceful warren]

Doing that wouldn't necessarily fix it, it's moreso an issue of hardening normals so they are pointing perfectly flat at the end of the curve

But I have decided to make it a style choice and just made all curve segments sharp

[graceful warren]

The yapping board has been constructed

[fresh flicker]

omg

finally

[graceful warren]

and the model is now officially done

[fresh flicker]

yoo

so cool

[graceful warren]

in crispety 4k if anyone wants to take a real close look

[fresh flicker]

i love how the rod panel kinda looks like a 3d sphere

[rapid warren]

Ooooh very nice

[graceful warren]

Now I can get to coding the actual reactor

[graceful warren]

things are slowly but surely happening

[rapid warren]

Oooo

[stone lily]

criminally cool

[fresh flicker]

very nice

did u guys fix the dials?

[graceful warren]

They have been fixed yes

[fresh flicker]

world peace restored

time to break in your house again and break them

[graceful warren]

don't you fucking dare

[fresh flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-cat-huh-small-cat-huh-what-gif-2593177363967991691

[vital valley]

need a chair

anyway cool work

[covert thistle]

That's so cool

I love it

[graceful warren]

A very tiny detail but i fake shaded the grates I use everywhere

this is what the old ones looked like

[fresh flicker]

yo wtf its so cool

[ebon plaza]

that is awesome wtf

[north dagger]

how did you even do that

[graceful warren]

It's actually pretty simple

I made a ring around the holes in the grade and added a slight gradient from a lighter and darker grey

[north dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-died-funny-animals-fat-gif-13843647

[graceful warren]

I have terrible terrible news

game's gonna have sunlight

[rapid warren]

the unmatched power of the sun

[red wing]

Sun is a deadly laser

[stray quiver]

Not anymore there's a blanket

[graceful warren]

I'm not dead yet

[dawn fulcrum]

What does the code look like

Cool models and stuff though

[undone escarp]

Dude that lighting and explosion go hand-in-hand perfectly.

The sounds are simply amazing.

[covert thistle]

this is so cool

[red wing]

Is that even roblox?

Thats so good

[graceful warren]

Ben you do NOT want to know

[graceful warren]

and yes, yes it is

[safe path]

How you get your baseplate so clean .. mine is so bad,

[undone escarp]

It's not that bad.

[graceful warren]

Convenient framing and a grid texture

there's a lot of junk on the side

[graceful warren]

almost 200 lines of logic every update...

[undone escarp]

It's a complex system. I'm not sure what you expected.

As long as the script's activity is less than 3%, you're fine.

I did see some opportunities to get the line count down, so lemme know if you'd be interested in learning the necessary stuff for that.

[graceful warren]

Sure thing, it could help a tiny bit with performance

but honestly the performance is great as is

[graceful warren]

I haven't yet checked that but I doubt it's very high

[graceful warren]

Just guessing, would this be setting up a table with specific annunciators and their requirements to light up that you’d recursively go through?

[safe path]

What is convenient framing

[graceful warren]

Well if you redirect your attention to right below the reactor you can see some meshes behind it

And the suspiciously narrow image hides all the structures and earlier versions I built that I kept on the baseplate

[safe path]

Ohhh

Alright

[safe path]

What brightness level you use

In lighting properties

[graceful warren]

Generally I use 3-5

[past wren]

Damn that looks so good.

[safe path]

Fr, if i tried to make something like that, my pc would die

[graceful warren]

I do have to say that the map is absolutely tiny

[graceful warren]

walpapr

[undone escarp]

walpapr

[fresh flicker]

mmm yumy

[covert thistle]

your making an rbmk?

[graceful warren]

It's a smaller version of one

[covert thistle]

ah

looks god so far!

[graceful warren]

thank you!

[covert thistle]

also i suggest adding a polar crane

for fuel rod replacement and such

[graceful warren]

There's not a lotta space up here for that

[covert thistle]

how do yall replace the rods then?

[covert thistle]

i mean you could probably fit a tiny one

[graceful warren]

Good question =)

It doesn't really have refueling

[covert thistle]

well

how do you do maintenance then?

[safe path]

It looks nice

What texture did you use on the beam

Do you mind... Sharing the id

🤔

[graceful warren]

Which beam?

[rapid warren]

Epic

[safe path]

You should hire bro fr

💯

[graceful warren]

Oh that

It's fake volumetric, I used particles

[safe path]

Ohhh

Okay

[rapid warren]

bro im not the guy wo makes those decisions

[safe path]

Yeah I know, he's builds are just fire

[rapid warren]

fr

[warm steppe]

Can we hire this guy plzzz

[safe path]

DO IT

[graceful warren]

sure

[graceful warren]

I'm on vacation at the moment so I won't be able to post anything for a week or two, but I can still do things offline, so I'll have something for you all by the end of it

But for now the thread's gonna be silent for a week or two

[safe path]

Didn't knew studio had a offline mode

Wait

Does it?!!

[fresh flicker]

local copies

[safe path]

How i do that

[fresh flicker]

i think they work but no idea

it still requires some internet connection i think

[safe path]

Yeah

I think so

@graceful warren how you work offline

[rapid warren]

you cant go offline

[safe path]

Yeah, what was he talking about

💀

[rapid warren]

probably blender or something

i remember seeing a guy work on a studio offline mod thingy

[safe path]

Nah, if you see his works they are mostly looking like studio

[safe path]

Wtf

Give me that

[rapid warren]

idk lol

[rapid warren]

nah bro i just saw a tweet about it

looked to be work in progress if i remember

[safe path]

Nah, Roblox studio be doing the most useless updates while they can add something useful like offline mode but they don't 💀

[safe path]

Alright

[rapid warren]

its probably a bit more difficult cause roblox loads all the assets from the cloud and handles the game server that way

[safe path]

Yeah but, it's possible if they put down their head to work on it

And stop adding stupid stuff

To the platform

[graceful warren]

It doesn't, I temporarily use my cellular data to boot up roblox studio and open a local copy, give it enough time to load the meshes and then turn my internet back off

[safe path]

That's smart

I'll do that

[graceful warren]

Just gonna nag yall on a little but I get a feeling you will enjoy what comes out of it

[honest quiver]

@graceful warren could ya dm me?

[graceful warren]

Sure, one sec

[safe path]

Sure

[graceful warren]

As promised
Here is your picture of what I'm working on

[covert thistle]

What's that?

(looks awesome)

[graceful warren]

Reactor block of a PWR reactor

I am building out almost all the machines that I can

[fresh flicker]

yoo..

so cool

[graceful warren]

Have I shown this already as well though

this is part of my master plan

[fresh flicker]

looks so cool bro

[graceful warren]

no you are not getting it in omega

[fresh flicker]

what did you use to make the scafolding thing

btw

(blender duh)

[fresh flicker]

:(

[graceful warren]

of the tower or the building

[fresh flicker]

tower

[graceful warren]

both answers are studio

okay yeah studio

[fresh flicker]

huh

are they placed by hand

[graceful warren]

Yes

[fresh flicker]

you poor thing..

[fresh flicker]

when omeg (ill shut up)

[graceful warren]

It was slow but I actually enjoyed doing it

[fresh flicker]

good to hear lol

(we seriously need those kinds of towers alex i beg of you)

[graceful warren]

arctic quit begging for work i am literally not even a day home yet

[fresh flicker]

alright

[covert thistle]

That looks cool!

[graceful warren]

Thank you!

[rapid warren]

Fire

[covert thistle]

Yooo Idk why but that looks cool

[graceful warren]

it's the main bus carrying all the steam/supply water to and from the reactor building

[covert thistle]

How do you make those? Do you have some kind of reference or just out of the box?

[covert thistle]

Ah cool

[graceful warren]

I do have a reference or two but it's mostly just having a bundle of pipes that I want to take somewhere, and putting a generic truss around it to keep it up, together with a catwalk

[covert thistle]

Ah alr

Are these just parts or also blender?

[graceful warren]

Meshes made in blender being placed as individual parts

[covert thistle]

Ah alr

Looks awesome man!

Keep it up

Steam separators when?

[graceful warren]

This is my main reference for it

[covert thistle]

Yooooo

[graceful warren]

pwrs don't need them, they have steam generators

I already built those

[past wren]

I gotta say i really love your work, everything you build looks really amazing.

[covert thistle]

Cool

[graceful warren]

thank you!

Right now I'm gonna get working on the turbine hall and such

Which it integrates into like this

And the red pipes are the steam supply for the turbine

[graceful warren]

Here is also a closer image of the circulation loop

[covert thistle]

That looks so cool 😭

[fresh flicker]

so cool

[safe path]

Finally dawg

I thought you would upload after GTA 6 comes out

[graceful warren]

Had to come around on my promise

But now that I'm home I can show stuff more regularly again

[safe path]

W

I don't know why but your builds give me inspiration

Kinda funny

But, thanks i guess

[graceful warren]

No problem lol

[fresh flicker]

is this gonna be like a very realistic pwr game?

bc i see a lot of things connecting to eachother

if realistic how realistic will it be

[graceful warren]

Realistic in the building, hopefully so

But probably not so much in the simulation of the reactor itself

[fresh flicker]

oooh

[graceful warren]

I hope you all like piping

Because this game is gonna have a LOT of it

[rapid warren]

Mmm pipes

[covert thistle]

Tasty pipes

can wr have more pipes

[undone escarp]

Lovely pipes.

[graceful warren]

All of the ones there are currently there with a use and I still plan to add some useless ones

vents and all that

[graceful warren]

Testing out some variants of legacy roblox materials made with substance painter

[fresh flicker]

oooh

looks super nice

[covert thistle]

PIPES

[covert thistle]

That looks beutiful

[graceful warren]

I'm going to change the pipe hallway a biiiit more

[fresh flicker]

bro is cooking damn

[graceful warren]

I really don't think I can stomach scripting trains
but god the urge to

[covert thistle]

wowwwww i love that

mannnn how are you building so good

also very funny background

[graceful warren]

That is my junk pile

[covert thistle]

cool stuff there lol

[graceful warren]

Its got all sorts of things in it

[vital valley]

The transmission tower is the WORST one

I bet

[graceful warren]

The one you see there is the old one

Which sucks

[fresh flicker]

that old train system you made

https://tenor.com/view/mr-peabody-hypnotize-gif-18017563854157472082

[fresh flicker]

the literal meaning of alex's pit of hell

[graceful warren]

n o

[fresh flicker]

so ur gonna rescript it or something?

would be really cool to see a train in here

[graceful warren]

I'm going to leave the idea of trains off the table now

[fresh flicker]

awe

[graceful warren]

I'm redesigning the reactor hall first

[covert thistle]

Damn

Thats really awesome

[graceful warren]

Thanks!

[graceful warren]

something a bit different

[tiny crow]

nice

[graceful warren]

i've been really out of studio lately so getting to learn blender more has been a really welcome break

[rapid warren]

very nice very nice

[vital valley]

Oh no it the white room

Torture method

[graceful warren]

Hey guys just a little update regarding the stuff I make
doubt many people are gonna see this but uh

i've quit roblox development altogether
I'm going to switch to some other engine whenever i get the motivation to but don't expect much from there anymore

[fresh flicker]

[pliant cliff]

I wish you luck in the next engine

[vital valley]

nice car bro

now make it drive able

[graceful warren]

This one's a prop

[vital valley]

aw

[tidal kraken]

1310 my beloved. looks amazing

[graceful warren]

Keen eye

It is infact a 1310

[graceful warren]

I began using autocad recently as a part of my college course

I'm really enjoying making use of it

[vital valley]

gun

weapon

barrel

[graceful warren]

the doohickey

[rapid warren]

oooh nice

[fresh flicker]

live laugh love cad

🙏

[red wing]

I am scared of autocad

[graceful warren]

The price tag alone should definitely scare you

[red wing]

Definetly not gonna pirate it

[graceful warren]

I did too

[pliant cliff]

if your school has an autocad class/workshop/whatever you should get it

2 free years with a student account

[graceful warren]

I get it as a subject

[graceful warren]

the doohickey has begun construction

[fresh flicker]

what kind of a thingamabob is that

[graceful warren]

pressure line for a gauge on a water storage tank

[fresh flicker]

oh shiiit

[ebon plaza]

duuuude that's awesome what the hell

what do you guys use for machining that

[graceful warren]

A big ass saw, drilling machine, hands and a file

This isn't machined, it's made with steel tubes and blocks and such

[ebon plaza]

ohh wtf

[graceful warren]

We do have a cnc and milling department but i don't get to do that for another year

[vocal forge]

hi

[graceful warren]

hello

[red wing]

[graceful warren]

not so much of a creation but i got a new setup
which means im gonna be able to do a lot more with unity now that ive switched over

so technically it is a sneak peak

[red wing]

I thought u used those monitors as a joke 😭

I mean, it looks cool

But im not sure its comfortable

Especially for your eyes

[graceful warren]

I did noy

[graceful warren]

Well I've been using them for a year straight and arguably I have been having less eye strain from these than I had from my laptop's screen

[graceful warren]

[covert thistle]

This kinda gives me Lethal Company vibes

[graceful warren]

It's going to be an amalgamation of several visual styles

[covert thistle]

Alright

[ebon plaza]

that most definitely is

looks awesome

[red wing]

Damn this is amazing

[graceful warren]

thank you all!

I'll see if I can make more stuff like this

[vital valley]

my new suggestion

make plane

[graceful warren]

I mean

I don't know if I'd even end up using a plane

Like the reason I am making these models is because I plan on using them in a future game

[vital valley]

it up to you

[graceful warren]

Although I could also make some if I end up planning in an airport section

[vital valley]

i mean like plane is super cool lolol

[fathom slate]

yoo love the red lights on that

[graceful warren]

Okay fuck it I'm gonna make a little poll

Let me get some images so yall know what you're voting for

-# transmission towers

-# satellite/radio towers

-# power plant + infrastructure

another for the power plant since it's cool

-# port cranes

these are your options

[graceful warren]

you've got to be kidding me

[vital valley]

no more

[fresh flicker]

transmission towers for the win

[quasi hill]

Me when I voted for both 3 and 4

Lmao

You cant escape

[graceful warren]

oh my god

oh my god

[quasi hill]

This is you

[graceful warren]

please just vote for 1 thing i didn't mean to make it multiple choice

[quasi hill]

Bet

[graceful warren]

well then

[chilly willow]

How did you make or get the textures for it?

[graceful warren]

Texture ripping my good sir

[quasi hill]

No shame lmao

[graceful warren]

I can show one of my texture sheets next to a model and the source image in a minute

[quasi hill]

Source engine

You can't fool me

[graceful warren]

It is indeed source

I am making a portal 2 level

[quasi hill]

I see I see

Saw the apature pipes as you sent that

[graceful warren]

Let me get some other screenshots too

[quasi hill]

looking good!

[graceful warren]

thank you!

[lament nest]

how much time did it take you to learn hammer?

[chilly willow]

The look of your style and source is just 👌🔥

[fresh flicker]

damn

looks cool

🔥

[graceful warren]

A year or so, I've been working in it off and on every now and then

[graceful warren]

Pretty old at this point but still worth sharing

[obsidian leaf]

Niiice

[graceful warren]

I'm gonna try to get some concrete progress in soon so I have more to share with yall

[graceful warren]

wip

[fresh flicker]

fucker is recreating repercussions

[graceful warren]

Lamarr wouldn't finish it so i'll fuckin do it myself

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl122fr7n5E forgot to put this here

[covert thistle]

Yooooooo

Nicceeee

is that like really a mod your planning on releasing some day?

Or just a fun project?

[graceful warren]

It was a joke lol

But I'm just making these for fun

if I feel like it I can make it into a full mod but I highly doubt I'll go that far

[obsidian leaf]

stop doubting

[graceful warren]

enjoy 7 pixels

[quasi hill]

this is false advertising

this is clearly more than 7 pixels

I want a refund

[graceful warren]

sorry bro let me fix that

have 9 pixels

[fresh flicker]

penis

[graceful warren]

its not

[quasi hill]

this is CLEARLY 20

smh

[graceful warren]

how do you expect me to make a 7 pixel image

[quasi hill]

1*7
7*1

or I suppose a 2*4 with a 255 transparency on one of the pixels, but its a little cheaty

boom

1x7 and 7x1

for the truthers out there

[graceful warren]

well enjoy your 7 pixels

[quasi hill]

I will

[graceful warren]

you better.

[quasi hill]

I did all the work for them (I did not, I stole the full size image and shrunk it)

so I very much will

[graceful warren]

this portal mod will let you do things base portal would never

the cube pile

[graceful warren]

your new years sneak peek

[rapid warren]

portal

[graceful warren]

[ebon plaza]

[graceful warren]

[graceful warren]

today's viewport sneak peek

[fresh flicker]

[graceful warren]

[graceful warren]

:trollHD:

Bruh

Thanks Obama

[tidal kraken]

[graceful warren]

good day chat

i did some tomfoolery

[graceful warren]

Lower landing of the nuclear power plant elevator

yes
portal 2 styled nuclear power plant

its happening
i hope

[rapid warren]

[fresh flicker]

oh shit

bro is making peak

[ebon plaza]

oh wow that is so good

I love that control room

[covert thistle]

very cool man

[obsidian leaf]

niceee

[fresh flicker]

holy shit? wtf?

reminds me of something that you possibly made back in 2020-21

[graceful warren]

some custom assets

[ebon plaza]

Holy crap nice

[feral moat]

damn i've always been planning to make something like this when i learnt source, really cool for that idea to possible be created

[graceful warren]

I'm at a point where I may consider going full cry of fear and making a game as a conversion mod

[dry wadi]

Everything looks awesome man

How's the nuclear plant going?

[graceful warren]

It's going okay

Haven't beenn getting astronomical amounts of work in on it

but it's coming along alright

[dry wadi]

Yay!

Can't wait for that

Damn I played it

Pretty neat man

[dry wadi]

What changes are u doing to the current build?

[graceful warren]

To which build?

[dry wadi]

Plant 66

64 I mean

[graceful warren]

Oh plant64?

I mostly finished it and I've stopped working with roblox

[dry wadi]

can u melt it down?

i had all rods up and pipes off

the alarms went off and reactor steamed but no meltdown after 5 mins

[graceful warren]

I forgot about that part

You have to get the neutron flux high enough for it to explode

[dry wadi]

thx

[dry wadi]

How to do it without activating scram?

Some screenshots i took

[dry wadi]

What's this?

[velvet quarry]

^

As seen right below it

[dry wadi]

Oh thanks lol

[graceful warren]

There's a flaw coded into the safety system that you'll have to trick it with

I can tell you in dms but I don't want to just give it away to everyone

[dry wadi]

Ok dms are open

[feral moat]

could you dm me the flaw, i just blew up the reactor but I cant figure out exactly what the flaw was

[graceful warren]

today's spoiler

[rapid warren]

Oooooh

[quasi hill]

`

airboat```
enter

all I have to say.

[fresh flicker]

the giggle shiter

[fathom slate]

oh yoo
very nice

[red wing]

Now i wanna revisit old aperture again

This looks amazing

[obsidian leaf]

this reminds me of how dry my imagination actually is

this is some epic shit

[graceful warren]

the trinket

[fresh flicker]

the thingamajiger

[quasi hill]

The gizmo

Mayhaps even, the doodad

[quasi hill]

Portal map where you look at yourself thru a camera, resident evil style

Would be hell to make, I know. But it would be cool

All I could think of when I see that screen

[fresh flicker]

the giggleshitter

[graceful warren]

new attempt at texturing

[feral moat]

nice, did you make the portal gun?

[graceful warren]

Yes

It's all custom

[feral moat]

nice

so what's the mod

going to be about?

[feral moat]

are ya gonna make it a yellow color or is this a more modern one?

[graceful warren]

It's the same era, but it's a different color

[feral moat]

ah, what color are you planning on?

white ish?

[graceful warren]

red with white :)

[feral moat]

genuine peak

what's the mod going to be about, the power plant thing?

[graceful warren]

Yessir

[feral moat]

nice

[graceful warren]

I haven't thought of the whole story yet but it will include a lot of power infrastructure

[feral moat]

are you gonna build a reactor?

[graceful warren]

Yes

[feral moat]

how long did it take you to learn hammer?

i've always wanted to but it felt too daunting

and unlike roblox there aren't many project's that'll take you

[graceful warren]

It took a while but if you're familiar with roblox studio, it shouldn't be that much of a shock

[feral moat]

just curious, how long did the portal gun take you?

[graceful warren]

A couple weeks

I went through multiple different versions though

[feral moat]

nice

what's the texture res?

[graceful warren]

These are getting progressively newer until the most recent one being the one I just posted

[graceful warren]

2048x2048

[feral moat]

ah

im so used to being stuck at 1024

[ebon plaza]

that looks amazing wow

[rapid warren]

Peak

[graceful warren]

thank youu!

[tiny crow]

this is actually super good, you even mimic down to valve's texture styles

[long grotto]

thats GORGEOUS i love it

[graceful warren]

I tried my best to replicate the authentic look for it

Glad to hear it succeeded at that

[graceful warren]

I'm currently in the process of animating it, so hopefully I can make it a functional viewmodel soon

Although I will probably have to do some particle work too

[quasi hill]

That ribbon cable is unnaturally not scratched or bent weirdly, no way any human will see an exposed ribbon cable and not go, "ooh fidget object" (Seriously though, looks incredible! Great job!)

[graceful warren]

teehee

I'm going to increase the viewmodel extension a little so the little screen is actually visible

And the animations are a bit bugged

[feral moat]

damnnnn

[quasi hill]

IT CHONK

[graceful warren]

it is very much a chonky one

I am gonna redo the animations (i did them on a way too low fov so that makes it look so big)

[fresh flicker]

swag

[graceful warren]

me and a buddy are welding a tractor exhaust out of rolled 2mm steel

it has been a hell of a journey to get it all rolled out

and i also nearly had my finger flattened in the roller 💀

[chilly willow]

Thats a 20 dollar weld there buddy

[graceful warren]

the one on the left or the right?

[chilly willow]

The one on the right

Idk about welding but you should probably make sure there is a seal down the little line

Apart from that looks good

[graceful warren]

those little dots are bonds

so they're little spots welded together to keep the whole thing in place before actually welding it

the whole exhaust is done like that at the moment but it will be one continuous piece by the end

[chilly willow]

I see

Yeah i didnt know that

What cars it for

[graceful warren]

A tractor

[pliant cliff]

those tack welds look nice

did you use smaw, tig or mig welding

[graceful warren]

Mag

[pliant cliff]

ah

[graceful warren]

It is regular steel so we don't have to use tig

If it was stainless steel we would've used tig

[graceful warren]

feels like the photography channel has been sent to the shadow realm so here's a photo i took

[graceful warren]

yall i'm honestly really demotivated from developing at the moment so this forum might fade even further into obscurity

i really wish i had more to show you guys

[quasi hill]

its ok! take your time man

sometimes you need a break, or just want to work on it

[graceful warren]

primary and secondary reactor loops

soon to be enclosed in a cocoon of metal and concrete

[obsidian leaf]

yay

[graceful warren]

i have given in to the urges

i wanted some basic building again

[fathom slate]

ooo
i dig it tho

[graceful warren]

thank you!

[feral moat]

sorry if im burgging you, how did you import the model into source, do you have a tutorial you used?

[graceful warren]

I used a lot of resources, including youtube videos and the valve developer wiki, but a good place to start would be this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nRQxy4wek4

[feral moat]

thx

[graceful warren]

Oh yeah, for anyone that's still checking on this, I just wanted to say that P64 will become unplayable soon because of roblox's age rating system
I disabled my roblox account a while back and I won't be going back on to fill in the questionnaire for them, so they (and all other games/showcases I own) will be inaccessable in a little while

So if you wonder where it went, now you know

[covert thistle]

Damn thats sad

[covert thistle]

Whyd you disable your account if i may ask

[graceful warren]

With the direction Roblox is currently going I cannot in good faith stay on the platform

[covert thistle]

I can understand

Its unfortunate to never see the games again

[graceful warren]

I can maybe post the RBXL files here some day, if that's allowed

[covert thistle]

that would be fire

[graceful warren]

I'm sure I can get a friend to download them from my group

In the meanwhile I have enough stuff that I could show here that isn't roblox related, if you guys want to see it

[covert thistle]

totally

We all love what you do

Arent you also doing Portal stuff?

[graceful warren]

I did for a while

Currently I'm trying to sort stuff out with making a custom mod in source 2013, and I am also working a lot on real-life scale models

This was also another project I was working on until I disabled my account, really bummed I couldn't finish it but I'm sticking to my principles

[covert thistle]

That looks absolutely incredible man, hopefully one day roblox improves and you return

[warm steppe]

if anything make the games public, but I wouldn't recommend you open source it

as in send the studio files

Im all for people learning, and i dont like gatekeeping knowledge, but when you just "hand someone the keys" so to speak, its likely for a number to just take and use for their own instead of learning

you do you though

[ebon plaza]

WHAT

this deeply saddens me

[graceful warren]

That's a fair way to look at it

I just don't know how else to keep it public

[stone lily]

if you have a friend with dev access you can just have them fill out the questionnaire

[graceful warren]

I'll ask them if they want to do it then

[graceful warren]

I made a world map in substance painter for the source mod I've got in the works

I have yet to make countries and everything

But it will happen

[fathom slate]

ooo

interesting

[graceful warren]

Hi, attempt 500 at reviving this

The shading is still a bit off with the wall panels but it'll be fine eventually

Waiiiit a minute I have an idea

[covert thistle]

Yoooooo, welcome back man

[graceful warren]

Thank you!

[fresh flicker]

the ceilings alex

the ceilings

[graceful warren]

shush

i do not want to hear it

[obsidian leaf]

nah this must be revived

[graceful warren]

Far from done, but I just wanna dump this here

The trains are back

[fresh flicker]
