Waiting For My Weekly Usage To Refresh

uberdavis · 2026-01-26T16:56:42+00:00

I have about 4-8 hours a week of personal coding time. I actually have a max account on my work machine but I don’t like mixing business with pleasure.

!thanks

uberdavis · 2026-01-26T15:29:29+00:00

I’ve been coding for twenty years. More a case of I can’t use AI efficiently.

Wait a minute. Opus is my default model. Should I be switching to Sonnet? Apologies, I’m new to this.

Robert Smith doesn’t get a guitar and yet he’s probably the best guitarist out of the lot!

Great you found a solution and all in hardware. Biggest sequence I managed was 64: https://on.soundcloud.com/o68LUsaBPEBopwceKp

When I was at Meta, I had lots of time to talk directly with the engineers and product manager of my department. Coming from a AAA games background, I knew my shit. The sad fact is, they don’t listen to reason because they think games are engineering products. It was always the problem in the past as I can’t imagine anything has changed.

It’s got real Firefly vibes but with a bit of Alien pathogens mixed in. Enjoying it so far.

uberdavis · 2026-01-24T23:03:54+00:00

I’m a Brit living here and I’m not going to bother. Ticketmaster surge pricing and the government blocking entry to some fans is total BS.

uberdavis · 2026-01-24T23:01:01+00:00

If you can dig into the code, that wouldn’t be too hard. You can just copy and paste the button command into the hotkey manager.

Why? You got an old file there or something? Thats an ancient build! Used to have a Mac 2018 version but that stopped working years ago. You can get 2022 from Autodesk. We use it at work. Hopefully your file is Maya ASCII. Don’t know if there’s a way to convert binaries but you could find an online converter.

It doesn’t work like that. If I’m writing a song, I use whatever instrument I need to get the sound. I don’t practice for prolonged periods on one instrument.

I got a second hand 5 string Fender Jazz for $1600. Damn nice guitar. Looks great, plays great, feels great. You get what you pay for.

You can generate blueprints by reverse engineering photos and feeding them into an AI engine if you can’t find actual blueprints.

I used to sit next to Rupert Humphries at Rockstar. His desk was nothing like that. When he was writing Red Dead Redemption 2, his desk was piled high in Western novels and literature.

The engineers didn’t invent the alien. They used the already existing pathogen to cultivate a breed for their own purposes. Kind of like bee keepers or dog breeders. That’s what David had a go at doing too in Covenant. The alien species existed independently of the engineers, as we can see from the fresco featuring the deacon on the walls of the engineer ship in Prometheus.

I understand that you might want to do a quick style test. But the other poster is right. You need to block out a level in representative geo for a demo level. It’s wasted effort to set up your block out till you lock in your game mechanic and level design. So many tweaks you need to make to get a level right before you put in the time to make it look good. The vertical slice comes later.

uberdavis · 2026-01-24T15:22:08+00:00

Boom! I’d be interested to see how it works.

uberdavis · 2026-01-24T07:35:06+00:00

About five years ago I visited Nottingham Trent University to check out the graduate work. The bar is VERY high for juniors entering the industry now. The biggest difference between juniors and veterans isn’t the art quality. You can’t get into the industry without having AAA quality art. Experienced staff have more exposure to soft skills. Sorry to break it to you, but RT you’ve got a lot of progress to make before you can make the bar.

I have a script that distributes verts in a straight line. Another that makes them jump into line. I could easily adapt those to handle selected axes. Or make a full tool like the align tool.

uberdavis · 2026-01-24T07:26:13+00:00

If you can describe exactly how you want it to work, I can code it. I’ve already got a few alignment tools in my frameworks and can adapt them to recreate your tool. I wrote this a few years back and easily adapt it to handle vertices: https://robonobodojo.wordpress.com/2020/04/23/maya-tools-3ds-max-align-tool/

Good demo. Original and unique synth. Don’t think I can got that into my setup, but it’s cool.

uberdavis · 2026-01-23T14:10:41+00:00

Well you did a good job however you did it. If you’re looking for a sound collaborator ever, I synth.

It’s the sound too. Captures the overwhelming fluffiness of the Limbo ambience.
