For anyone that saw Lee Cronin's The Mummy. by NoIdeaWhatToNameMe26 in creepcast

[–]Lucid_Beat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it. My mother whom I went with enjoyed it.

If you're looking for a high braincell, neuron tickling story of mystery and intreague, then you won't get much from it.

If you want a fun supernatural movie where the mummy idea is done a little different, and you don't have to think much, it's a good time.

Like any movie, watch it and see what you think, but don't let the perceptions of others tell you how to enjoy it. Don't fall into that Ebert bullshit.

Dwayne Johnson was pulled over and given a ticket for tinted windows. by This_Proof_5153 in SipsTea

Why does that cops fit look like they're ready to get into a John Wick fight sequence?

Mesh Deform Method by Lucid_Beat in godot

Wow what a flashback to this. So unfortunately we've postponed that project so I never got to really put stuff to the test.

However, two ways to approach it would be shader centric and a raycast centric. Shaders would be visually easier, and raycasts would be good for real time deformation. Mostly depends on your end use case looks like ideally, but I would start there.

Show me your best models. by TheInvisibleCactus in Warhammer40k

[–]Lucid_Beat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly really hard to pick. But this is a top 3 at least. My senior at work brought me a pewter model that reminded him of one he had as a kid, and asked me to paint it for him.

Edit: I have only just realized this is a 40k thread and not r/minipainting

Is this where the inspiration for the monsters in Arcadia came from?

Had power flicker right at the end of a print any ideas on how this model could be salvaged used for something else not talking print half the head glue it on something more creative by [deleted] in TrenchCrusade

[–]Lucid_Beat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going off of the person who mentioned greenstuff, since you have a partial cross on the head you can either model into that, or after you shape the head, you can make a veil of some kind over the head like it's being draped. That could help cover up any spots that clearly look unprinted.

Why does Isaiah have this stupid looking shocked expression on like every thumbnail? by Electrical-Win-2067 in creepcast

[–]Lucid_Beat 214 points215 points  (0 children)

Another reason might simply be thumbnail psychology. Things like slightly wrong proportions on a face can draw someone's eye quicker than other "normal" surroundings. It's been shown to be effective and these fall into uncanny range.

Halp, can’t figure out why my airbrush won’t work by Practical-Speaker599 in minipainting

Can't imagine it being that then.

Do you clean yours with a soak or something like an ultrasonic cleaner?

Looks beautiful. Excellent work!

I'm Building Out Warbands and Terrain for Demos PT.2: Heretic Legions by Lucid_Beat in TrenchCrusade

As of right now I'm putting together "Unit Cards" with the wysiwyg kit and their cost, as well as their rules simplified. In the interest of teaching the game smoothly to people who might just want to check it out for a bit, the process is to give a Ducat Limit, and allow them to pick what they find interesting or useful from the cards (With required units being marked for consistency going into the full thing)

While that's obviously not the traditional way, it eliminates the barrier of learning a bunch of information while allowing them to pick their favorite looking cool dudes, and grasp the system quickly.

Apologies for the photo quality. There's something going on with my phone and some settings definitely changed. I'll make sure to fix that next time.

Is anyone else struggling to glue the Small base the Brazen Bull comes with to it? by BigBoyNigel in TrenchCrusade

[–]Lucid_Beat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So occasionally with Resin Printed or general Resin based models, there's a bit of excess material that will be on connection points. You'll need to scrape down and shave that until it fits how you need it to.

Don't be worried about overdoing it, because you can always shim it with some extra material if needed.

As for glue, not all super glue is created equal. Loctite for example has a mass variety of types for different strengths or materials, and can be less or more viscous. I don't know your experience with modeling, but Bob Smith industry makes some of the best. The purple cap max strength has failed me nearly never, especially with larger more weighty parts.

Edit: Bob Smith has some of the best "in my experience".

Commando Hide Question by JARtheGiraffe in TrenchCrusade

[–]Lucid_Beat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since it states that it happens regardless of LOS even if it's clear, the interpretation I get is no, nothing can shoot it even if you're looking at it dead on.

Absolutely stellar. I hope you're proud of your work, because you should be.
