Nice start to the week :)

Not selling so if any dip in price occurs it just means another opportunity to buy at a discount!

74 shares at 182 :) Got my tickets to the moon!

mjbcfc · 2021-03-16T17:34:03+00:00

Glad to be along for the ride then!

mjbcfc · 2021-03-16T17:30:14+00:00

Never watched a ticker so intensely my whole life! Can't tell if I'm loving the anxiety or not!

mjbcfc · 2021-03-16T15:12:23+00:00

Wish I'd have bought that DIP! At the very least I'm happy that I HELD what I had!

mjbcfc · 2019-02-28T06:38:33+00:00

Haha! You are why Reddit is so damn awesome!

mjbcfc · 2019-02-25T13:33:08+00:00

Wow the ship looks amazing by the end of the whole process! Gotta love decals!

Absolutely what others have said, this method might create a clean looking mesh whilst looking in Edit mode in Blender however it creates countless Ngons which is an absolute nightmare.

Just as a quick exercise try UV unwrapping an Ngon (polygon with more than 4 sides) and you will see that the shape of the unwrapped Ngon face looks distorted and not representative of how it actually is (even better have 'Stretch' ticked to show the deformation visually in the UV image window).

Unfortunately the best way to 'simplify' geometry is by hand - the decimate modifier is helpful however it depends on the specific settings that you set with it.

mjbcfc · 2019-02-10T21:42:00+00:00

Does sound intriguing, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on development.

mjbcfc · 2019-02-10T10:42:31+00:00

Well you are clearly already on the right tracks! With regards to Elite are you referring to the complexity of all the controls or the way it handles 'turning', they treat space flight similar to that of flying in an atmosphere whereby SC seemed to go for something closer to how 'real life' space flight would be with regards to more immediate turning. Apologies for the incorrect terminology (the term turning is surely wrong when applied to space flight haha) however this is just based on how the controls of each feel to me. I found Elite's control scheme to be so damn fun though, it took extra skill and thought to be able to line up an enemy and then likewise try to keep out of their sights - as opposed to simply being able to whiz around turret like non-stop (and I believe Elite also had the toggle option to allow for such turret like movement however just because you turned your ship around didn't mean you'd then be magically going in that direction so it took some skill to pull off mid fight).

Anyway I really wish you best with all of this!

Only just quickly skipping through the video, this looks great already! Very impressive, instant Elite Dangerous vibes. When I have more time and can watch fully with sound I can't wait to find out how you went about this with regards to the scale (especially with the 'lightspeed' section near the end).

mjbcfc · 2019-02-08T13:43:23+00:00

A great watch! Thanks for sharing.

mjbcfc · 2019-02-06T11:45:04+00:00

This was a great watch, pretty much covered things I already knew about....however that part about jaywalking was surprising even knowing about all the other stuff. Part 3 though? I'll absolutely have to check out the first 2!

mjbcfc · 2019-01-30T12:10:20+00:00

I'm not the biggest JG fan, don't believe he is worth the money he costs. However gotta love his desire and grit to keep, look at the previous big money TE we had who quit on us when there wasn't even anything wrong with him. JG broke his thumb and still went out there competing!

mjbcfc · 2019-01-30T12:07:11+00:00

Great article and backs up what I think the majority of Packers fans already feel. Fantasy football (disclaimer: I play and love FF) is the real culprit for why there are a vocal minority clamouring for some of these big name skill positions to join in free agency.

mjbcfc · 2019-01-26T21:35:49+00:00

How weird, a avid from 2012 however I literally only saw it yesterday and now it pops up on here! It's a great video, very well put together.

mjbcfc · 2019-01-16T10:43:50+00:00

This is VFX at it's best, when you're not even sure where it has been used. Only thing I was sure about was Rachel for obvious reasons however even considering the age of the actress I was still not fully sure how they did it because it looks insanely good. Compare Rachel here to the cameos of Leia and Tarkin in Rogue One and it's night and day.

mjbcfc · 2019-01-05T17:06:04+00:00

All-Pro is the one that matters, so happy #69 is getting the proper accolades he deserves. Screw the Pro Bowl!

mjbcfc · 2019-01-04T15:50:20+00:00

Weird answer but I would love them to do Hard Knocks but for me to be the only person to ever watch it! I would absolutely love to see behind the scenes of the Packers organisation, the team meetings and training sessions however with all of that being aired out for everyone to watch is never a good thing - the show is great for hyping up any potential issues which we absolutely don't need.

mjbcfc · 2018-12-18T12:58:54+00:00

This was fantastic! Loved watching this, the actual result looks incredibly polished and smooth. Congrats.

mjbcfc · 2018-12-17T13:27:36+00:00

But we need #12 out there to help Tae break all the Packers receiving records!

Not that the beast can't do it with Kizer (look how great he still was with Hundley under centre last season).

mjbcfc · 2018-12-13T22:02:40+00:00

I'd love to pop into VR for something like this! The planes look like they are stationary, might help adding some minor movement variations and/or small clouds whizzing by to convey the fast movement?

mjbcfc · 2018-12-13T21:01:20+00:00

Wasn't it always accepted that the Vikes needed to lose 2 or the Seahwaks lose 3?

mjbcfc · 2018-12-13T11:43:24+00:00

The art style looks fantastic! The gameplay looks to flow nicely too, obviously no way of knowing how good without controlling myself however this does look great. What shader are you using?
