@ARadish can you give me the password to stackexchangia?

@TARDISMaker

Vader

hey

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

12:19 AM

ho

Hosch250

@someonewithpc @TARDISMaker They are leaving it for @David to find.

ARadish

hey, im back

connection is slow

TARDIS Maker

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Thanks

@Hosch250 ?

Hosch250

They were asking about it.

iKlsR

12:35 AM

@ThomBlairIII @X-27 I'd love to this weekend, can't on weekdays tho ... too busy

Can we schedule for Sunday

Looks like no Meet the Pros this month either

Thom Blair III

@iKlsR ok, sounds good!

iKlsR

we forgot about that

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

@iKlsR :/

iKlsR

Thanks for @gandalf3 and that other guy I don't need to be around 24/7

Vader

Are normal maps supposed to be affected by lighting?

iKlsR

12:38 AM

@Vader Without lighting normal maps are useless :)

Vader

I though normal maps were solely based of geometry

iKlsR

You're thinking displacement?

gandalf3

what

iKlsR

Normals maps use light to calculate depth off of normals.. hence the name

gandalf3

iKlsR

12:40 AM

In theory heavily, 3d packages might abstract and dull this with viewport lighting or something else but in raw opengl or even 2d code, light is key

Where is the other guy @gandalf3

Vader

Shouldn't the normal based on camera angle

The left should look like the right

but it doesn't

iKlsR

not sure what you're doing there bud

welcome back btw

Haven't seen you in a while

Vader

thanks

been busy

iKlsR

influencing ren from the grave no doubt...

hmm

Vader

:D, caught me

gandalf3

12:49 AM

@iKlsR no idea

@Vader Usually it's in tangent space

But you can put it in other spaces too if you want

Vader

what space is the matcap normal in?

that's the one I want

Think I got it

that will at least give me a normal map

gandalf3

What exactly are you trying to do?

Vader

It even considers displacement

@gandalf3 turn that rock non-geo bump map into actual geo

gandalf3

I see

Note that cycles can do this by itself

Using experimental displacement

Vader

....

where was that 5 minutes ago

:D

gandalf3

1:05 AM

XD

Did you look at

Q: Using Texture Nodes for the Displace Modifier

I'm trying to make some procedural textures that will give me a result like this: - this one is said to have been a voronoi + a clouds texture and I figured the best way to combine those is to use the node editor for Textures and then just slap that Texture that I create in the node editor as...

?

Vader

yes

blender.org/manual/render/cycles/materials/displacement.html

didn't see that

aha

?

how is that one plane?

gandalf3

1:08 AM

Download the file ;)

Vader

I see a silhouette

gandalf3

Admittedly I think I did use a subsurf modifier for that one, but cycles also supports doing the subdivision. But I've had problems with the cycles subdivision before (hence the "experimental")

Vader

burn the witch

aha

I knew it was more than plane

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

uh . . .

Vader

sneaky

gandalf3

1:12 AM

@Vader It's procedurally subdivided, it counts! It counts!

:P

Vader

;)

gandalf3

10 second masterpiece \o/

Vader

\0/

oops

just dragged one of them sliders to the left

At this point blender eats all the ram

so annoying

nothing I can do but crash it

:(

this doesn't look right

that's with the same map and subdivision turned on

interesting

going into edit mode and subdividing the mesh manually fixed the problem

Hosch250

I think @David got hit by a bus. He hasn't been on for 10 hours.

Vader

when I left cycles subdivide it look like ^^

Hosch250

1:22 AM

Or maybe he saw what was going on in a private window and rage quit :P

Vader

#polygonmasterrace

gandalf3

Whoa smoke baking is way faster now

Vader

o.O

how much faster is way?

gandalf3

I mean, they said it was ~20% faster, but I didn't realize how much faster that feels when watching it bake

It also has a noice progress bar instead of that silly cursor thing \o/

Vader

victory

gandalf3

1:32 AM

Cancel button doesn't work though..

Pressing esc does

Vader

my progress bar is a thin line

is there a way other than scale to se the height of the true bump?

David

2:04 AM

ok to all of you (@gandalf3 @TARDISMaker @ARadish @Hosch250 @gandalf3 @X-27 etc) waiting to "prank me" here is my reaction. Nothing. I will do what I would always do, and act normal*.

Hosch250

Hi, @David!

David

hi

why on earth did you help them with this?

But I got the last laugh here :)

Hosch250

So you did.

I helped them because I like seeing messy starwalls.

David

something none of them (you included) know about. :)

Hosch250

BTW, you missed one ping:

David

2:06 AM

@Hosch250 lol, you sure did it "well"

Hosch250

6 hours ago, by iKlsR

carry on

David

I saw, was going to "yell" at him next

Hosch250

So, why were they so particular about you seeing it?

David

no idea!

Hosch250

Do you have a reputation for clearing them?

David

2:07 AM

I guess I was there target of the week

@Hosch250 no, iKlsR is stricter.

Hosch250

Oh. Maybe they just wanted to keep it.

And you were the last mod to show up.

David

@iKlsR! So I'm just "that other guy", and you encouraged them to spam me??? Something will have to be done.

(try to imagine that being said in a very important voice)

gandalf3

@David Ah, the starry sky is back to normal

David

@gandalf3 :) sure but I cant weight to reveal my last laugh. I seriously beat you all.

gandalf3

haha

^^ there I laughed

Does that mean I have the last one?

;)

David

2:12 AM

nope :)

gandalf3

aw..

David

(I started this one before you all star spammed me)

@Hosch250 so you want to be in the mass ping when I put the final laugh in all of this?

Hosch250

Sure.

David

@Hosch250 I actually did view the transcript before jumping it to combat here.

Hosch250

I figured as much based on your first message.

Otherwise, you would either have been greeted by somebody before your first message, or not have had that type of message.

iKlsR

2:21 AM

@David nuuu

I came and saw the spam

David

yep, and said " O, ok that is good carry on"

@iKlsR that would be (kind of) like if you saw a spam post on the main, and said to the spam bot "O, carry on."

iKlsR

:D

David

@iKlsR ok so now that you are here look at the top stared item.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

lol

David

You all can star this:

Tomorrow I will reveal my master ~~plan~~ prank.

5

then you will see how I got "the last laugh."

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

2:27 AM

ok then . . .

iKlsR

:D

Hosch250

Does it have something to do with stars or pings?

David

be here around 10:00 tomorrow morning.

@Hosch250 nope. WAY better

Hosch250

@David Which time zone?

David

@Hosch250 CST

Hosch250

2:28 AM

OK, I should be here.

X-27

@David oh dear...

should I dig a deep hole and hide?

David

@X-27 from what I've read I think you already have, in minecraft copy land.

X-27

yah, yahI have. Havn't I?

David

One last message for now:

CAUTION; DAVID SAW AND CLEARED YOUR STARS :)

ARadish

3:37 AM

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ sorry to read you hanging, my GPU was getting overheated

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Ah

ARadish

so tomorrow im gonna make a really deep shaft and then a tower above

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

cool

X-27

4:23 AM

@ThomBlairIII thanks for mining with me

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ we got below the corruption layer....

Thom Blair III

No problem!!

X-27

I built a giant ladder down.

Thom Blair III

I'm going to work on my base some now, so I dont' take all your ores from that cave

X-27

nightey night all.

Thom Blair III

night!

X-27

4:24 AM

@ThomBlairIII I'm thinking of adding a second story to that building to hold teleporters to each of our bases

(but tomorow)

Thom Blair III

@X-27 That sounds totally awesome!!!

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

4:34 AM

@X-27 No you didn't

It is impossible

You run into the End of the World blocks

I also think I have the most boring voice when it comes to recording XD

I really need to work on it

I think I need to just speak more loudly and confidently

I will probably have a test episode out for you guys to critique in a week or two

Night all

Santosh Kumar

8:07 AM

hey!

how to close outliner once opened?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

12:15 PM

Do you want to change that area or close it?

46

Q: How to close view windows?

I would like to close some view windows that I opened accidentally. See the image below: Edit: another note: I tried searching for the solution, but only found things like "Join Area", which don't seem to work in this situation.

interface

That might help

X-27

1:38 PM

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ so the corruption layer is the bottom?

that stinks...

well then, we got well into the corruption layer.

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ awesome!

will you be recording some with me in them??

that would be sooo neat! I've never been on youtube before!

Technically it won't actually be Me....

but still.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

1:58 PM

lol, maybe

The corruption layer has the purple corruption index thingy

It fills up faster than the lava one

X-27

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ so you make lots of trips up and down the ladder.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Or make a potion

Or corrupted bread

Corrupted bread takes a bit of your max health, but makes corruption heal you for a period of time

X-27

cool!

can the corruption layer be un-dangeriousified?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Purification bomb or healing beacon, only way

X-27

how large of an area does a healing beacon clear?

just the column up?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

2:07 PM

2 blocks to each side, and 2 deep

1 diagonally

I think

X-27

will the un-coruption remain if you move the healing beacon?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Yes

X-27

cool.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

I never tried it, so I am going off of the info I gleaned from the wiki

:P

I think that was as oh R25, and we are on R28 now so it may change

X-27

well your not going to just fill the cavern with beacons...

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

2:08 PM

yeah

purification bombs are 1 use, but purify in a 7 block radius

X-27

is corruption dust gathererable from the surface in the corruption layer?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Only from corrupted critters

X-27

oh dear.

I didn't want to get too close to them, they didn't look too friendly

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Get lumite armor and sword, and be smart. You will be fine

X-27

are they like the fireworms, hitting you with a massive blob of corruption?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

2:10 PM

No, they are just a lot more tough

X-27

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ "get lumite armor and sword" - just get the best equipment possible and it shouldn't be too tough

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

If they knock you into corrupted water though, you are in a bit of a mess

@X-27 Exactly

The Thing still takes 50 hits to kill even with it :P

X-27

but I need some stuff from the corrupted layer to be able to make the lumite equipment!

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

yes indeed

X-27

can you put down a block of mineral water and stand in it?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

2:11 PM

So be extra super careful

X-27

or will it become corrupted?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

@X-27 Yes, and purified water becomes mineral water as well

X-27

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ so once your low enough underground, normal water becomes mineral water?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Yes

X-27

cool

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

2:13 PM

Stalactite layer and below

X-27

mineral water makes your health effectively infinite, but does it stop/resist corruption?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

good question . . . I don't think so

X-27

bumma'

can they corrupted monsters attack you while your standing in water? normal monsters can't

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

BTW, make a platform in the air out of good dirt. Corruption comes from the blocks, so if they are 6 or so blocks away, it starts to go down

@X-27 I don't think so

X-27

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ awesome. I know how to battle.

drop some water.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

2:15 PM

@X-27 Yes, I used that when making my freefall experiment

X-27

um.... what happens when you get corrupted? do you go on an uncontrollable rampage and ruin the world? or do you just instantly die?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

You start losing health, pretty boring :P

X-27

oh.

yah...

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

It makes a nice effect ont he bottom of the screen though

X-27

do you lose health slow enough that the mineral water can keep you alive?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

2:16 PM

I doubt it a lot

X-27

ehh - that is what healing potions are for!

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

just make a frikin corruption resistance potion . . .

it lasts for like 10 minutes

X-27

that would work

but those also need special ingredients.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Not really

X-27

no?

ok....

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

2:17 PM

trog horns are the toughest thing

they are all over in the canyon biomes

X-27

ahh

I need some ferrial skin things for the iron sword. where do those come from?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

jungle biome

X-27

good to know.

just walk for a really long time?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

yah

BTW, if you jump just right when running you can jump up three blocks

X-27

bummer...

cool.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

2:21 PM

@X-27 bring a teleport

leave an empty one at base, and place the other when you get there

X-27

took me long enough just to find the ocean.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

lol

X-27

and all I wanted there was sand!

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

yes, very useful

X-27

2:34 PM

what do jungles look like?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

they have vines coming down from the trees

X-27

k

ARadish

3:04 PM

I had a wild pig skin if that is what you are looking for

@X-27 there was a swamp/jungle south of your base

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

aha

X-27

3:27 PM

@ARadish south of thon's base or south of the main mine? I haven't built a base yet.

@ARadish I think that is what I need, I forget the exact name of it.

but if the obsidian sword is as powerful as it is, the iron sword should be even better

and the lumite sword - it should cut like a light sabre.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

And yet the Thing still takes 50 hits to kill with it

X-27

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ at least, in the corrupted layer...

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Anywheres

X-27

perhaps some explosives would be of use?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Yes indeed

Stun bomb and some armor piercing bombs

X-27

3:31 PM

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ your telling me that the litium sword takes 50 hits to kill any monster?

the obstaium sword can kill pigsy in 2 hits.

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ how many armor piercing bombs does it take to kill a corrupted night pigsy?

I know I have at least 8 at the moment.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

@X-27 I know

@X-27 Might be enough to make it doable

It only needs to hit you 10 times to kill you BTW

X-27

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ standing on the ladder seems to be far enough that they can't get to you.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

yes

two blocks above or one below is enough

X-27

bummer, I have 8 explosive bombs

not 8 armor piercing

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

They will work, but the armor will take effect

X-27

3:37 PM

I have 5 TNT

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

hmm

You have to set it off yourself, you place and activate it

And RUN

X-27

will it blow up ladders?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Don't forget that part

@X-27 IDK

Never tried it

Something I have been working on last night/this morning: soundcloud.com/nid_music/chillsteptest-1/s-Qj0oK

Thoughts?

X-27

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ I think they have a lovely 404 page

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Try it again

X-27

3:41 PM

that worked.

listening...

That. Intro. Is. AWESOME!!!!

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

:D

X-27

let me replay that

the second part almost seems like a letdown. You have an intro building to an exciting breaking point, and then it kinda sounds like a firetruck, and not an epic symphony following an epic intro.

then again, after you get over the firetruck noise, the second part is also awesome!

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

@X-27 Ok, I thought it sounded a bit shallow

Maybe a bass and some harder drums

X-27

yah - shallow is the word I'm thinking of.

David

almost time.

X-27

3:46 PM

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ and some more phasing of the volume,

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

ok

@David for your evil surprise? Oh dear!

X-27

@David ....

we are soo doomed.

I'll go hide in a hole.

David

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ yep, well kinda

X-27

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ want to join me? I've put a few gas lamps down in the curupted layer

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ you have cured me of my "perpetual repetition of Alan Walker syndrome"

now I'm automatically clicking the play button on yours when it finishes!!!!!!

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

lol

X-27

3:51 PM

Heavier drums, more pulses of lower notes would help

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

yeah

X-27

kinda like here, at 0:43 and 2:05

Alan Walker - Memories

►

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

I'll get to work on that, thanks for the help!

X-27

your welcome :-)

you could probably reuse that intro at the end

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Probably

I need to find some good synths, I know they are in my libraries somewheres, but they are hard to find

David

3:57 PM

...

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ, @X-27, @ThomBlairIII, @TARDISMaker, @ARadish, @GiantCowFilms, @gandalf3, @iKlsR, @Hosch250 and others commencing my mass ping. (the important messages below.)

OK so you all probably remember this chart from yesterday morning and all the messages around it. Well the whole thing is a fake! (and I can't believe you all fell for it)
