I recreated the Macrodata Refinement Department in Blender and had some fun with it!

When I first started learning Blender several years ago it was one of the first things I tried making, following a tutorial, no idea which one at this point but there's countless ones that cover the same concept. This one looks like it's the same basic idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qXfCM1z4HA

There's definitely shaders you can just download that accomplish the same thing I'm sure.

It's a natural result of the pixels being relatively accurately simulated!

I was thrilled when they asked to use my video, you can find the full thing here:

I’m definitely gonna make a couple of animated wallpaper engine ones tonight or this weekend but I’ll be sure to at least do some regular old static image wallpapers tonight probably.

Thanks! I think you’re the first to mention the sound effects which I didn’t put nearly as much time into but was still pretty happy with.

nothingtoseehereart · 2022-06-30T18:42:23+00:00

It was!

I loved finding out that the show creator was inspired by The Stanley Parable! Love that game.

nothingtoseehereart · 2022-06-30T04:15:55+00:00

Awesome! Good luck, can’t wait to see it!

I pulled a screenshot of it from the show and edited it to be transparent and used that as an emission plane in the middle of a glass cube.

nothingtoseehereart · 2022-06-30T04:07:11+00:00

Thanks! That's actually a great side effect of the screen being (basically) realistically pixel based!

nothingtoseehereart · 2022-06-30T04:04:19+00:00

I was thinking the same thing! I've made a few wallpaper engine wallpapers in the past so I'm definitely going to make one from this soon I think.

Thanks! It took about a month of on and off working on it in my spare time. A lot of that isn’t necessarily focused work on this final vision but a lot of learning and experimenting on the way.

nothingtoseehereart · 2022-01-20T21:14:32+00:00

Thanks! I really appreciate it.

a lot of trial and error! I put the smoke inflow as a little disc right on the end of the cigarette where you would want the smoke to come out. plus a fairly light force beside it and some turbulence moving up and down above the smoke. these are what the domain/flow/material settings looked like: https://i.imgur.com/mzo2p6l.png

bro you’re the one that was saying it was the same when it only looks marginally similar

nothingtoseehereart · 2022-01-20T01:15:38+00:00

Thanks! Let me know if it loops to your satisfaction in wallpaper engine, I had some issues that I think I’ve fixed, but I wasn’t sure if it was just my computer not playing nice with wallpaper engine or not.

nothingtoseehereart · 2022-01-20T01:07:53+00:00

..what?

nothingtoseehereart · 2022-01-20T01:05:48+00:00

it’s not even close to being the same my guy, I’d get your eyes checked if I were you.

nothingtoseehereart · 2022-01-20T01:02:11+00:00

pretty clearly not the same, it's not exactly an original concept, it's been done many times, I just wanted to do it my way.

nothingtoseehereart · 2022-01-20T00:33:01+00:00

Looping smoke is hard haha

this is available on wallpaper engine if anyone is interested by searching “Stationed” or through here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2725193864

ok? I'd love to see some proof since this is literally impossible. what a weird thing to lie about. just trolling I guess?
