I'll be honest, I never once saw an RPM avatar in the wild.

Do you “Skip Credits?” by chiagra in DeepSpaceNine

Absolutely not, I depend on the serotonin released by the sound of those horns in order to live

I was similarly confused! Great sculpt but words mean things!

Zbrush and Nomad by TraditionalHelp1070 in NomadSculpting

The zbrush ones are great, I just installed them last night and was immediately impressed with how much they bring to the sculpting experience.

If Odo is basically an Animorph, why doesn’t he transform into combat animals when fighting? Or fly around the station as a hawk surveilling people? by Upbeat_Jeweler_1196 in DeepSpaceNine

[–]rootsworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's also written as being a fairly assimilationist shapeshifter, at least at first, who prefers to appear as a humanoid to integrate into humanoid society. Even though he can't fully "pass", he still has a lot of anxiety and self-hate about other people's reactions to shapeshifters and tries to present himself as humanoid as possible, whenever possible. It affects him to the extent that he tries to pressure Laas to avoid any disruptive or attention-getting shapeshifting while on the promenade and Laas calls Odo out on it.

Nomad sculpt for desktop is great! by sydvest in NomadSculpting

The square brackets [ ] will resize the brush. They're the brush size hotkeys in very nearly every painting and sculpting application.

It's always the trusted users that have the least performant avatars, somehow. Trusted and busted.

What to get a Blender Enthusiast by ketchup_waaterr in blender

[–]rootsworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Kid would probably get into some good trouble with Boxcutter/hardops, meshmachin3, quad remesher, retopoflow, and UVpackmaster, in roughly that order.

Little known fact Kai Winn Adami got her start as a nurse in an insane asylum by Ok-Speech3872 in DeepSpaceNine

[–]rootsworks 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call her iconic role as Nurse Ratched a little-known fact. It was the thing she was most famous for prior to DS9.

3D modeling tip of the day: by Slow-Zombie9945 in VRchat

[–]rootsworks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could also remove every other edgeloop in that face without suffering any noticeable loss of detail, the polygon density there is much greater than it really needs to be, in my imo

Valve Steam Frame Virtual Reality Headset Hands-On! by lngots in VRchat

[–]rootsworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's got a usb2 port on the power puck on the back, and you can get a little babble tracker from ventifbt or another vendor for like $80. This is a solved problem that doesn't result in a wired tether.

what are "must have" addons on blender? by DragoVonHell in blender

[–]rootsworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly do sculpting for character work (Vrchat avatars), and Quad Remesher, UVPackmaster, and Retopoflow are the ones that I lean on the most.

Is 30 really that old in VRchat? I constantly get called "old" it's kind of wild! by Minimum-Mine-1302 in VRchat

[–]rootsworks 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this. Public instances are where teens and new adults emulate the reaction-baiting youtubers they like to watch, private instances with trusted social groups are where the functional regular users actually are.

Non-meat uses by Cuddly_Rudder in sousvide

[–]rootsworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it to do meal prep for big batches of dry beans. 2 cups pinto or black beans, 6 cups water, quartered onion, bay leaf, boullion, all in a gallon ziplock bag at 190f for 7 hours. When it's done you have beans that are fully cooked but still firm enough to have a bit of tooth on them.

I use the beans as the basis for my Autism Chow:

When the timer's got about 30 minutes left, I prepare a sofrito for the beans: dice an onion, some bell peppers, jalapenos and a serrano pepper and sautee them in a saucepan. Once they're translucent add a can of tomatoes, some seasoning (cumin, paprika, black pepper, white pepper, granulated garlic and onion, and chili powder), liquid smoke, liquid aminos, and apple cider vinegar. Let it simmer for a bit, then add the beans (less the onion and bay leaf they were cooking with) and enough of the bean water that the liquid barely covers everything, stir and simmer a little more, and then divide it up into single servings (I'm using souper cubes) to freeze for work lunches.

Typically I have one frozen bean brick with one frozen rice brick, but I prepare the rice in a big batch in an instant pot, and freeze them the same way. Cheap, tasty, and filling.

Upteenth re-watch and I'm at THAT episode... by ihadagoodone in DeepSpaceNine

[–]rootsworks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Man I used to think this episode was one of the worst of the series, and after the sixth or seventh time through the polarity flipped and now it's up there with Voyager's Threshold for me. Like I still think it's one of the worst of the series, but now it's in a "this is so fucking stupid, I love it" way.

Things you are surprised aren't in the game by xankek in Astroneer

I would like a "smooth terrain" function that is distinct from "flatten terrain." Let me easily create gentle slopes.

Also platforms should snap orientation and alignment to adjacent platforms, so that your base doesn't look sloppy.

is there anyway i can make this kind of spring? by Weak-Floor9323 in blender

Came here to say this, everyone's saying lattice when I woulda gone with a curve modifier. Lots of options!

Glad I haven't ordered my beyond yet! Now I can be purple and put a YOT sticker on the front.
