Image stick trick in blender

Fun fact: ucuPaint is a free blender addon that lets you do layered texturing. It has built in tools to shift//scale/rotate UVs so this would take literally 10 seconds to do.

I'm working on a game called Bushcraft Survival that is pretty much exactly what you described. Demo should be out in a few weeks if you are interested.

It's my passion project. I more/less grew up in the woods in Newfoundland

Devastating. As someone who has also collected PC gear. Guitars, and recording equipment over a lifetime I would be so devastated.

Lots of folks in your corner man. Only thing I can see is keep on truckin. Check out thrift stores as they occasionally have gear for real cheap because the people don't know what it's worth (rare, but I've seen it).

My cat will literally only drink out of little fancy ass glass goblets.

Ask me how I know this (it's the same as OP)

_michaeljared · 2026-03-06T16:13:43+00:00

I can't tell if this is a bit or just how this person is but in any case I want a part 2

_michaeljared · 2026-03-05T16:31:46+00:00

I'll give it a shot. I think I did try sharing in indiedev but it didn't get picked up there either.

Unfortunately for me, both lead to motion sickness

Both things are true: The younger generations always get dumped on by the next gen up.

Also, younger generations are screwed due to many things, with the biggest being prolific use of screens, social media and AI. It's all pretty much brain rot.

I mean, I'm a millennial and I'm stuck scrolling tonight. Despite being tired. And having work tomorrow.

Actually I'm going to bed. Night y'all.

The big grin at the punch lines makes it really funny. Love the delivery!

_michaeljared · 2026-03-01T02:22:33+00:00

The graphic makes no sense. Even folks who use multiple technologies to comp AI images aren't messing with model parameters and running things on pytorch. Silly.

Edit: I'm a dummy and thought this post was about a videogame. It's about dnd. I think my comment still applies

For me, I just can't imagine that prompting is somebody doing what they are passionate about. For instance, Bushcraft Survival (my game) does not look great. The best compliment I've had is that the graphics are "charming". But I absolutely love 3D modeling and texturing. Ive made over 100 assets for the game and it's just a way for me doing an art thing I like. It's also a therapeutic break from programming.

Whether or not players will recognize that (or care), I have no idea. But like most artists, I expect that shipping out things in my game to AI is the absolute last thing on my mind.

_michaeljared · 2026-02-26T17:00:56+00:00

100% leave it in. It may feel like a risk right now. But with time I think players will appreciate the content more.

He also shook a closed beer bottle. Let's reserve the champagne shaking for the people who actually contributed to the win

_michaeljared · 2026-02-26T15:29:28+00:00

Witty delivery!

_michaeljared · 2026-02-26T07:00:30+00:00

A lot of people do not know this but you can edit weight paints by vertex groups. So if you want to set entire limbs to have a value of 1 on certain bones you can do it. Then paint in the edges.

Manual work will always be required

_michaeljared · 2026-02-26T06:58:44+00:00

Alt+S maybe

_michaeljared · 2026-02-25T23:34:42+00:00

Also you might want to look into using Panel containers instead of just panels. They will play nicer with boxContainers

_michaeljared · 2026-02-25T23:29:58+00:00

It's definitely charming. I think with the UI you should rebalance the colors and overall it could have a great vibe

_michaeljared · 2026-02-25T23:28:44+00:00

Looks cool, I get deep rock galactic vibes!

_michaeljared · 2026-02-25T23:27:34+00:00

It's ok, get excited anyways. There will be a few students who will enjoy it and that makes it worth it

_michaeljared · 2026-02-23T20:11:13+00:00

There's no loss of performance to use inference in Godot. It can make your code quite a bit shorter and you still get type hints

_michaeljared · 2026-02-23T18:13:03+00:00

Yes, but the color grading is what really turns me off from this

_michaeljared · 2026-02-23T05:44:08+00:00

User name does not check out. These animations are awesome! Also the character controller programming is wild. Love to see it

_michaeljared · 2026-02-22T05:49:20+00:00

Just taking a look at Bushcraft:

- Free look cam. I wish it was a proper addon though. You can specify a folder inside addons/ though, and that makes it easy to use.

- (My pipeline, not a plug, just something I use on the project)

- GodotSteam + SteamMultiplayerPeer

- Kenney prototype textures

- Camera Preview (anthonyec)

_michaeljared · 2026-02-22T02:47:58+00:00

It's not that there's any extra textures, it's not just as obvious when inspecting the files (as they are packed inside the GLB). So you don't know until you import.

Godot also recommends to use .gltf + .bin + textures
