I’ll add, lawmakers engaged in a moral panic about kids and social media want to destroy all of this and destroy open source software generally all so they can enact a mass AI surveillance state and censorship systems. And big ppl on the left continue not to mount a challenge to this!

In the dark, I'd find her 20 feet in a tree staring down at me. One day I found her just chilling next to a large water snake (they got along). I miss her she was the coolest cat.

I built / lived in a treehouse, working on games with my cat Soap. I built a screened in deck just so she had more room. When she got older, she got increasingly curious and learned how to use the ladder and became an excellent tree climber.

Experimented with adding sculpting layers at one point - but realizing I can just use blendshapes for doing that.

Found a solution for having uv unwraps consider mesh modifiers, which is a lot more pleasant to work with the garbled mess I was outputing before.

Modelling plugin became a bit of a monster to extend / maintain. Working on making it more generic, and splitting it up into box modelling / uv tools / sculpting / painting tools. Ideally it works with generic mesh instances. Started separating out paint tools today.

i'm wondering about porting the editor gizmo code to a gdextension that would allow for running them at runtime. i think the only changes that would need to be made is references to editor only nodes that would need to be slimmed. ideally you could just replace the extended class and have it work

I did end up using the stencil buffer somehow here. I think I'll release this tomorrow.

Armature Editor

Build and edit skeletons inside #Godot

Features include:
- Auto weighting
- Bone Extrusion / Scaling / Subdivision
- Copy / Paste / Delete / Rename
- Spring Bone Chain and Collision authoring

I've been wanting to try what Alabaster Dawn's sprites do with this, which is attaching different sprite atlas's corresponding to body parts to each bone. Seems really neat if you have some 3D animation libraries lying around.

Made some updates to Piper's Cleric abilities tonight. You can now pick a known (or partially known) psalm from a list to get a guide of which notes to play.

Still some UX to iron out (ignore that I'm mixing PS5 and PC button prompts 🫠) but it's getting there!

Added

- copy and pasting bone chains
- scaling bone lengths
- renaming
- selected chain to a spring bone simulator
- add spring bone collision shape to selected bone
- spring bones are highlighted in pink

I am drunk on power after realizing Godot lets you embed textures in RichTextLabels, and well... ViewportTextures are textures. 🤯

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

Auto weighting is in a good place, seemingly works well with flat planes so it's possible to weight capes etc with some smoothing options.

main motivation was to quickly add bones for spring bone enabled attachments, dangly bits for belts, but also cloth simulated bones. I think there'll be some kind of tagging system for spring bone chains, that autogenerated / update a spring bone simulator.

Some work on my armature editor plugin, I think it's in a good place for release soon. Added a right click menu with some options for extruding/subdividing/deletion. Extruding opens up a prompt for naming. Editing happens on the major viewing plane axis's, and transforms are snapped.

- Geometry can now help prevent self-intersection now which otherwise breaks the illusion.
- Maximum volume testing

In my sculpting experiments I had volume preservation by also manipulating neighboring areas of the mesh. Might revisit it for hard materials like metal

Love it 🧙

Thinking this could be a togglable mode. I kind of see a game built around scavenging materials, to bring back to your workshop. Object volume is limited by how much of one material you have +/-. With this mode adding some friction to the fantasy of being a craftsperson of sorts

not 100 on the feature selection with dpad, it's pretty hard to intuit with vertices, edges. a better approach might be to literally walk across the surface. might even need to implement planetary gravity just to jump across gaps which could just be fun

kinda want to experiment with making it have a physics body, updating only after operation ends, but having a sphere collider moving with the selection

pretty much just other way around, i pass position indices etc to a wrapper that fills in pmp surfacemesh to init. perform operations and return the surfacemesh data after each operation.

Successfully launched it through steam, had to wrap my head around steamworks, but got cloud syncing working between my desktop and steamdeck 🫠 feels good. I'm thinking of adding workshop support, to share models between users.

I've actually migrated to using pmp-library with gdextension, writing/doing operations with it, and replacing the mesh data with it

feel you there, I get bit by the bug too frequently. I was wondering if your pixel art app was being made for it, when I was working more full time as pixel artist I had made a couple of similar tools for another handheld

one of us one of us let me know if you have any questions happy to answer! love your project btw!

yeah! actually saw a reply of yours about the ayn thor, kinda convinced me to put in a preorder for this project 🙃 how are you liking it?
