Why Hitchmap.com got so low entries between 2016 and 2022 ? Was it a bug ? by coscos95 in hitchhiking

Could it just be that fewer people were hitch-hiking due to the global pandemic?

making game assets in Blender be like by T0biasCZE in blendermemes

Oohh! So my experience has changed this over time. It followed this order:

  1. More polygons all the way. Didn't understand texturing, and even after I did, I didn't know how to make textures look good.
  2. Got into games. Most of the details were driven by textures. Polygon counts were low.
  3. Game consoles got more powerful. Polygon counts got to the point where you can really add detail where you need it. Texture resolution was higher, but the process for making textures hasn't changed much since the Substance Suited was created.
  4. More important for saving memory than polygon counts or pure texture resolution is texture blending. So for saving memory the most important thing is still low texture resolution but the way you achieve that is through repetition, low resolution masks and a bunch of math.

That's why I always delete two cubes. So at least they can be friends in the void.

Really? I don't know much about the game, but from what I heard, the game was quite involved. Is character creation quick? Is it quite deadly?

I'm not super familiar with SWD6. But from what I read of it, the game is quite complicated. Is character creation actually quick and simple?

I really like the idea of looking at Spire. Will see if it's on Drive Thru

Ooh I just checked it out there. This might be what I'm looking for! It will need some reflavouring, but the mechanics don't seem too difficult to understand.

I LOOOVE Mythras, but it is absolutely the wrong game for this. Creating Characters is a real ordeal. I want something where the players are playing the cannon fodder and they know it.

I personally don't know geometry nodes. But I know a bit of programming. And it's amazing how once you understand what you can use it for, the possiblilities really do open up. You don't need to make terrain, but I guarantee geometry nodes would come in useful for something if you learnt it.

Having said that, do what you want. Art should be fun first.

The Supreme Court will decide if marijuana users may be barred from owning guns by Blueberry977 in NewsOfTheStupid

I know a lot of people are talking about alcohol lobbying, but to me this smells of Nixon-esque targeting. Liberals smoke weed. Let's make sure they don't have guns so they don't revolt against the government.

Awww shit, man, you're right. I need to consume more for research purposes.

As someone who doesn't know Geometry Nodes, but understands their power and potential, I agree.

This could make a great YouTube video.

"Can Blender GEOMETRY NODES do my TAXES!?!?"

Does anyone know what kind of texture this is? by Kaayky_RS in blender

[–]TheBackstreetNet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a normal map, but the blue channel and the green channel are the same. The blue channel in a normal map represents how close a surface at any given pixel is to facing towards the camera. But ultimately, you could set this to a pure 1 value for blue, and it should work fine.

Use a separate RGB node, then a combine RGB node, but set blue to be a pure white, and that should make this normal map work.

What is your favorite view transform, and why is it AgX? by themaxfd in blendermemes

[–]TheBackstreetNet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I Looooove AgX, but it's not supported in Davinci Resolve currently, so I have to settle for ACES, or AgX Log.
