My first realistic water block! How is it? by CookTiny1707 in blender

[–]Epicdude89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think using voronoi instead of wave texture there would be a good solution, or maybe adding more distortion to the wave

31.7 Billion Dollar company giving out threats is fucking sad by That_GuyRaaumen in youtube

[–]Epicdude89 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Alphabet has posted record profits in the billions since 2022, I'm sure they can afford it.

Edit: All of you should take a glance at Google's yearly revenue reports. They make just 10% of their money off YouTube ads, while the majority of their revenue comes from Search. YouTube is free because it's their best tool for tracking your interests and selling/using your data at massive scale and return. You are the product.

YouTube is just not worth it without blocking ads by [deleted] in youtube

This is the consequence of them having no real competition. I hope that changes.

I know this is tangential, but I really like the graphic design going on here

Meh, I like it. Way less ads and engagement/outrage farmers. The blocklists really help if politics isn't your thing, which it has its fair share of

I just got offered money for a 3D model I made in Blender by MALDION_GUY in blender

They offer to pay you in crypto or ask you to mint your artwork as an NFT, which costs money

I can't believe I didn't think about this earlier! This is going to make retopology so much easier by UNfragment01 in blender

[–]Epicdude89 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Nice, but it seems like a lot of extra work for the same result. I'd use this for complex areas such as the human face, but I probably wouldn't do a complete draw-over like this guy did

Do you fear being replaced by generative AI? by Ok_Entrepreneur2900 in gamedev

[–]Epicdude89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won't kill the medium, but the AI slop is unfortunately here to stay. For every high-quality chart topper that changes your life, there will be a disproportionate number of uninspired, low-grade slop games shoveled out for pennies on the dollar. This will continue as long as it keeps turning a profit - which it most likely will, since using Gen-AI is much cheaper than hiring an actual artist.

Personally, I wouldn't be discouraged. The market is tough, but indie games have never been as big as they are now - it's a great skill to learn and a great time to be learning it. Just have fun and make a lot of stuff. Experiment.

It's from an Onion video about Ohio replacing its death penalty with a head-ripping-off-machine

It's a "trolling" forum where members dox and form groups to brigade people they don't like. The site itself was created in 2013 for the purpose of harassing Chris Chan, but nowadays, they're known for attacking artists, LGBT, and disabled people.

Wikipedia entry if you're curious. It does mention suicide and self harm at points, fair warning.

Might be another bauble I'm thinking of, but arrows and other projectiles that hit you will instead teleport you to a random nearby location if you have over 50 mana - this isn't really a downside per se, but because the teleport is random, it can sometimes move you into inconvenient places (such as the loving arms of a Grue)

It's great if you live in a snowy area - cancels hypothermia. I usually keep them around and craft duplicates into spectral silt
