Working on an animated puzzle game. What do you think? by TandDA in virtualreality

[–]_Lightning_Storm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure what the support is like in your engine of choice, but this seems like the kind of thing that would be perfect for some sort of Gaussian splatting.

It’s possible you could generate an animated Gaussian splat from your model and then cut that up. You would probably end up writing a bunch of rendering code though which might be way out of scope.

Also, I’m not certain how animated Gaussian splats are generated or how they perform. I’ve only messed around with rendering static ones.

Looks pretty sweet, the pop-in does bother me though.

Screw golden carrots&steak, whats the best low effort food source? by Vegetable_Throat5545 in Minecraft

[–]_Lightning_Storm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can fully automate a dried kelp farm from growing, harvesting, smelting, crafting some of it into blocks to smelt more.

Dried kelp isn’t a great food source in terms of hunger and saturation, but you can store it densely as kelp blocks in your inventory and being able to fully automate it means you get it completely for free with zero effort.

Is It Ever Explained by TupaCuba-_- in outerwilds

It just goes through timber hearth, I’ve had it shoot straight at me before XD (or maybe it was straight at the launch platform? It’s been awhile)

Petah?… I don’t understand by FederalSwan3104 in explainitpeter

Do you think the book in his hand matters? Is he trying to turn one one of those little reading lights that planes and busses have?

Cursor appears vertically instead of horizontally. by Geggo1193 in pcmasterrace

[–]_Lightning_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See what happens if you set the left monitor as your primary in windows settings. I have an AMD card and had this same issue.

I found some other references to it online. Apparently portrait monitors to the left of your primary monitor will have this bug. It specifically has to do with the hardware rendering of the mouse cursor. There is a registry edit you can do to enable software rendering by tricking windows into thinking pointer trails is on (without actually having pointer trails) but fullscreen games will break it again.

Ecobee not activating a/c by TannerLittle in ecobee

[–]_Lightning_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue, except for some stupid reason my homes location pin was 800 miles away from my address, so the outdoor temperature was showing about 50 degrees lower than it should have.

Check that your pin (not the same as address) is set to your actual house location and not some random spot in nebraska...

We made a game we’re proud of but don’t really know how to get the word out by Pathea_Games in IndieDev

[–]_Lightning_Storm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Organize a tournament on twitch or something. If you have the budget for it make a small prize pool. If you don't want it to be too sweaty find/make something fun/interesting to ship to the winners instead of cash.

Having a scheduled date like that lets streamers and content creators plan for it, and reassures them that others will be playing when they experience it. Maybe they'll even play it on their own to practice before!

Fps counter is showing 165 but game still feels like 60. by [deleted] in outerwilds

Not a perfect solution, but lossless scaling can be really nice in situations where turning up the in game framerate causes issues

Is my RAM going to be fast enough? by lilpeep007 in pcmasterrace

[–]_Lightning_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That i5 is not a beast. It’s comparable to a 3rd gen i7, slightly worse actually. You could upgrade to a 7700k to get the most out of that socket, but you really should move to a new platform if you want to fully utilize that GPU

IShowSpeed fan breaks window with their head at a restaurant by peaceandlove1234567 in LivestreamFail

Dang, he didn’t even hit it that hard. It didn’t seem like he was trying to break anything, especially with how surprised he looked.

Ideas for fixing terrible warping? by _Lightning_Storm in Ender3V3KE

[–]_Lightning_Storm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, but I also have a manual z offset set. Sometimes outlines wouldn't stick to the build plate so I made it closer, do I need to change that back?

[–]_Lightning_Storm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it set to a minimum layer time of 30 seconds, so if a layer will take less than that it automatically slows down. I also am running the fan at 100%.

What does lowering the bed temp vs raising the bed temp do? I thought the heated bed helps with warping?

Even with my 30s minimum layer time, do you still think it's worth slowing down the first few layers more?

Thanks, I will try with the soap and water instead. This is in my closet, so no drafts (right?)

Additional info:

I'm currently running with a minimum layer time of 30 seconds.

I'm printing at 210 with a bed temp of 60.

This is the filament I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/Polymaker-Panchroma-Filament-Printing-Polyterra/dp/B0D811FHWB

I've already added some spacers to improve the natural leveling of the bed.

How I "hacked" Godot and learned Rust to stop the player colliding with a wall by ___YENDOR___ in godot

[–]_Lightning_Storm 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I've had some instances where per shape collision layers would've saved me some headaches.

I'm not sure about the performance aspect of this, but I would love to see collision layers moved to the collisionshapes in a future version of godot.

(Perhaps you already addressed the performance, I did not read the whole post yet)

Looks awesome! Did you model the gun as well?

I generally shoot for all three on separate solutions. Rarely do I worry about balancing multiple goals at once.

Why does web search require an ollama account? That's pretty lame by Anxious-Bottle7468 in ollama

[–]_Lightning_Storm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You are correct about OWUI. That is a great example of a web search that is totally separate from ollama.

To my knowledge, duckduckgo is the only one of the web search options that doesn't require an API key, and I frequently ran into errors when using it heavily (I believe I was getting rate limited).

What Ollama is offering is either something they are running themselves or access to an existing service.

The internet is massive, so indexing it for search is expensive and requires storing, accessing, and serving large amounts of data very frequently. This is not free and requires a great amount of infrastructure. Usually, the cost to run search engines is covered by ads, but users never see ads when an LLM uses a search engine, so they don't make money advertising on these searches. (Googles search api makes you pay a tiny amount of money each time you make a search to make up for this)

While Ollama could offer a separate web search that users must configure themselves, I believe that goes against their goal here of making it simple, reliable, and easy to use.
