gm_subclass - abandoned plant
YouTube video by Dylan Packard gm_subclass - abandoned plant

Still working on this map, now that vrad isn't lying to me about overflowing entdata budgets I can actually do shit again πŸ˜‚

Made a tiny industrial area for this city map, based this abandoned factory on the former packard plant here in Detroit. Even has a rave inside!

very annoying to spend years trying to convince people to stop saying shit like 'the game sucks because it's on Unity' because game engines don't work that way and then every single Unreal Engine 5 Game is actually exactly like that

Oh shit can you port stuff from source to vrchat? I've been wanting to fuck around with vrc worldbuilding but legit the only thing I'm good at is hammer πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚

Ah shit, welp I knew that the new map going well was a bad omen. Somehow source has found new incentive ways to fuck me over, and doesn't even give me the courtesy of throwing an error πŸ˜‚

Anyone ever dealt with entdata saying size overflow instead of very full? Pls #hammer #source #gmod πŸ™

I just went to the Wikipedia page for T-Pose for a thing I'm writing and

A) Was not ready for that page to feature nudity
B) This subheader is wild:

"This article is about the human reference pose in computer graphics. For a similar human pose, see crucifixion."

gm_subclass - WIP Build #1
YouTube video by Dylan Packard gm_subclass - WIP Build #1

Made a little update to that first WIP build of gm_subclass, added some new stuff and actually detailed some of the dev textures lol

Now I need to see if I can extend the map at all without source killing me πŸ˜‚

Might make a subway stop in a little neighborhood too, that would rule

Oh shit would you look at the time, it's time for another gmod map! I've been working on this since early August, so actually way less time than I thought huh

I've got a couple missing textures to fix and some parts are rough or even still dev textured but check it out!

Fuck I hated working with this fabric but the deep-tufting buttoned chair retrofit is finally done and delivered. Came in looking like hell and no buttons, did a full conversion and they look... good enough lmao

Why this pattern tho

The fabric is rough, thick, and frankly ugly

Apparently this is the summer of tufting, and holy shit this fabric is like sandpaper and I kinda hate the pattern. But I did two of them in one day so all things considered that's pretty good

Still need to do a shit ton of massaging and double check I've lanced the holes right but hot damn, took me just a day to do more or less yay!

And all this plus fighting through what might be a migraine lmao

Now to do the other two deep tufting jobs... 😭

I think this was once a bose store, the lone light illuminating some dishevelled shelving at the far end of the room on the right of the frame feels very ominous.

A former massage place I believe, also closed now. The stark shadows from the honeycomb shelves are particularly interesting on the main pillar in the room. A wall at an odd angle starts and continues off the left side of the frame. Only one light is on.
