I don’t use online services and gave up on local too. Models are too big (storage and download annoyance), GPU I have is a 1050Ti, also too hot for it right now.

Not too keen on generating code especially if I couldn’t recreate a simpler version… unless some general-use 1.5bit model could give advice on Godot and Nim-lang? Not putting too much hope in something like that though, especially due to niche and changing features.

I am not sure I got the first issue, you can rotate each tile individually before placing them.

That’s the issue. I don’t want a sideways room tile, and for pure cube tiles rotation is only an annoyance.

based on any provided 2d shape would do that. We can find a way to make them fit in a grid with some roundings

Sure. I guess this would work but I dislike how custom of a solution that seems to be for what I’d say is general usage.

I just want bitwise calculation 1x1x1 to 8x8x8, so I can place down a chonky arena wall (8x8x2) in the same grid as a hallway (1x2x1) etc without risk of double-occupying cells. The only time I’d want that is for non-block models that are designed to occupy the same space (different types of wall decorations).

Autotiling would be nice, but that’s a step up. Similarly, cell types like on_wall, on_floor, and on_ceiling (and in_air/not_on_floor?) could (if their cell type is empty) allow autorotated placement (similar to the raycast placement added not long ago).

These are the sorts of thing that would go in a proposal, possibly someone has already made these suggestions. If not, I am sure someone else would have better results writing it that myself. EDIT: proposal 1713

What I’m missing here is the ability to restrict rotation. Some cell types you will only want 1 rotation, some not at all (or maybe some other type state flipping/change rather than a different cell type). Especially if this could be done via Blender node name.

Also would be nice if multiple sizes of cells (like 1x2) were detected properly (both 1x2 gridmap or cells that can overlap are not ideal). I was already planning on smaller gridmap(s) for obstacles/room-decoration etc but I assume populated cells from other gridmaps is not something taken into account there either (unless you manually do something with a script).

I have also had issues with grid placement (offset) I assume because of origin. I had it working with a nice placement scene but ran into an issue when I had to remake the gridmap (because data loss, and yes I probably did something different), I ended up fixing it by putting all tiles in the center instead. Really annoying to fix that when I need to import the .glb and then export an unchanged scene to the meshlib.

I was going to say I wanted to see video of it in action, but after search on YT (video was not much more than your picture) in the recommendations I saw the donkey bike (aka velocinno, or velocino?) that looks like a more interesting small (but odd) bike.

Odd because small front wheel (normal back wheel) and optional wraparound-behind-rider handlebars. Both gray footage (and British narration) and also many people chopping 2 bikes together (a child’s bike for the front wheel) to make it.

No idea on how it is to ride (at least inverted behind-rider) though.

EDIT: Seeing video of the non-reverse-mounted handlebars, I’m not sure the claim about changing posture is even true (that’s just about handlebar height, and it seems same either way). I think I’d prefer typical even just for mirror/shifting/bell/etc and mount-dismount (hop-back and tilt-bike-up if-needed).

I mentioned in another comment retro-direct drive, pedalling backwards for the low gear would make something like this even weirder/cooler.

I have a similar feeling for my barely-an-ebike (250w geared folder, ~45lbs, bought on-sale). I sometimes wonder how a non-e bike would compare, it seems like it might be easier so long as I’m half-in-shape (though I don’t have a lot of incentive to ride, so I don’t exactly stay half-in-shape, so I’d probably need a nice stationary bike too).

Wish I could try out a minivelo, probably not much chance of that in USA particularly not for a cheap price. Maybe a folder that’s better-designed than mine (D4S), Brompton is almost a dream (aside from even tinier wheels than 20") except way too expensive. Similarly, a lighter-weight frame like magnesium or titanium would be nice but probably also no.

EDIT: I forgot to say, if I didn’t go with a derailleur a retro-direct drive would be neat. Maybe even cool to make a minivelo with that myself, not that I have really anything required to do so (converting it, maybe). Better if it were somewhat easy to swap gears out (like per-season sort of thing).

EDIT: On second look I’m guessing the description was more of a rhetorical (which would make more sense if it were read before the image). So all I can say is

<me pretending I have a project>: haha same

I have been tinkering with those settings recently. I really enjoy how powerful editing the environment is, though I was getting freezing (not just Godot itself)… I think caused by multi-window mode.

I’m using untextured*+low-poly models though, so the advanced stuff is a bit hit-or-miss. Or maybe it just seems that way as small issues like light leaking are more prominent without textures.

Also when self-shadows are ugly I’m not sure how you fix that (other than perhaps not making concave details) when creating models. Doesn’t seem like you can just disable shadows via material without also scripting the sun to hide when indoors (masking likely is the solution, but that is node config).

* vertex colors, I was messing with a shader (altering normals) until I found that lambert_wrap is what I’m looking for to improve vertex shading. Also, fog is applied to unshaded (though you can also disable fog per-material)

Does it need to be paid in a specific way? I would like to see the most petty way it could be paid out. I imagine with such a large amount people would quit or refuse to count it.

A lot of different game styles could work with a single directional light, with different possible techniques (ceiling/background) for top-down and 1st/3rd-person.

Though I think I found the best way:

NORMAL = (vec3(NORMAL.x, 1.0, NORMAL.z));

EDIT: Actually, diffuse_lambert_wrap is what I’m looking for. Although for more distinct shadows, the normal editing does look better than the other shading modes.

Volumetric fog seems to tie it all together, working even on unshaded and seems to pair well with a lot of settings to give different aesthetic options. Really fun just iterating on settings (lights, environment, materials, shader) in my test scene with a simple gridmap. But my editor keeps crashing.

I’m feeling a workflow here, and really liking the effort:results ratio. I have a fever dream of a scene and more ideas too.

Me, haunting those responsible for the wording:

not a cyborg.

Kind of (300+ miles on the trail), though I’ve never found anything close to a friend or a money.

Going outside when you’re nowhere near a city:

(in USA at least)

It could include all that you’ve mentioned

Well, tell me if you find some better sculpting option than Blender. A lot of promising options (clay-like or SDF) are locked behind licenses etc. (and obviously I care more about low/medium-poly aesthetic)

Other stuff probably has its own limitations or is just more suited for environment (such as voxel terrain or CSG).

Would be clearer if you gave an example.

I’m guessing you mean VR painting. Or something similar like 3D sculpting (with some device setup that feels more immersive)?

There’s also texture painting and vertex painting*, but those are only part of working on something 3D.

* and no I don’t mean in the behind-the-scenes way it’s often used for some technical feature, I mean vertex color that is used for the final (likely low-poly) result. Like

I guess you could even mean mini/model painting (I say because you also posted this on the 3Dprinting community).

Hey, give a little credit to our public schools (poorly-optimized eye-candy) new games! (where 10-20GiB is now considered small)

I still see it being an issue of pricing and questionable value (over older/used/already-owned) of a bottlenecked part, particularly when it ends up with users who aren’t esports users (for a multitude of reasons). In other words: stagnation.

It’s more obvious with AMD selling new 4GB cards still in the budget category rather than ultra-budget, as in they aren’t raising the floor. The jokes still work:

EDIT: There were even polaris GPUs with 8GB

If would be more productive to encourage blocking by making it more powerful/less of a chore.

• general categories/tags to filter out (plus allow-list) rather than manual blocking
• put ‘block community’ in more options so blocking can be done with less clicks (/for nsfw comms)
• a way to limit how many posts from a community are shown on the same page, or from the same user (maybe an option like only show most relevant post per hour/half-hour etc)
  • ideally communities would allow setting how posts are sent to all, even if it’s just a post setting
  • or posts could be more aggressively grouped, similar with crossposts (or things that were not detected as a crosspost but likely should’ve been)

Also honestly once a block list is 50+ it already seems like named blocklists are needed to properly manage things.

I just went to the doctor the next day and got medication

If it were that easy sure, but it doesn’t work that way here (certainly not walk-ins, phone doesn’t work for me). That was my thinking when replying to your top-level comment, that most people (in the US at least) will have more trouble getting there.

I’m well aware, I ride my bike on a trail (though not many destinations and heat can be an issue) and I even reorganized my room recently. Though it seems like it’s impossible to control/sustain.

For me (carless) it’s more about the distance to even picking up medication (more-so care esp not-the-closest-hospital), paperwork and appointments, time slots and waiting lists. Family is anti-doctor. Many of my issues likely won’t be helped much by standard medical options, even depression (particularly when something like a personality disorder is part of it) already seems like a coin flip.

Also with the current administration I don’t trust that if I got started I’d still have access before getting stable (plus you cannot just take a break from most brain meds w/o tapering off).
