ulch; good for the rummaged aura but still; you need some smoothening imo. and the tree placing aren't really good.

Those two big hills are far too steep, nothing would grow on such a hillside. Only mountains/cliffs are that steep.
It doesn't rain in the top left and right corners, weather effects have a low maximum height, careful when you use them which such a camera angle.
I like the placement of the trees, but those purple dead trees don't really fit. And the right edge of the screen is empty.
The plants should be placed in clumps and could be closer to the trees, you know, to make that "path" in the middle more empty.
Those 3(?) flowers are completely out of place. The green fern is too bright... someone needs to smack Void for using it in the tutorial. ^^
Good backgound, nice use of fog.

You make your own models?
And how was thoose X walls made?
Thoose butterflies are custom models?


Nice anyway.

And yeah it's from the intro.

No. Black Stan made the 2 units.
I used the Wall Low, just rolled. And Wall End Short inbetween.
Nay, Glow model (UTM).

WOAH! Those terrains are awesome. I wish I could terrain, but I have no artistic talent, or at least not enough to envision something like that. My skills only go as far as coding and programming.

Nice void =]
I hate the top arches though.

The doodad is far too low quality to use from a distance like that :p

Also, is it just me, or is the sun not round?

Those circles around the sun look weird. And yeah, the texture of those arch windows is horrible.
The sun rays coming towards the camera are awesome. Did you use a gigantic light circle for the effect?
<3 the sky. ^^

I used light from above tilted on its side (like I do for all my suns) but with X and Z values of 200% and Y of 6000% :p

Also I swapped the rotation of the sun so it's actually coming from behind the camera but it creates the illusion of coming from the sun :D

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
