long time listeners will recognize this as a continuation of this project https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@aeva/113303633154607005 but without reinventing 3d modeling from scratch this time
@aeva not gonna lie I was really into the reinventing modeling with spline distance fields thing

@aeva For whatever information is hidden from me about what other people have decided about me, or who they think I am, in all these systems of gluttony, thievery, and the murder of kind, loving, innocent beings, I cannot seem to ever know nor be told. I do not know why I am violently kept in a space of stasis and silence in a world of hatred and prejudice. I simply seek stability. Please, someone help me.

i just found out that
at some point got "auto" as a normal interpolation option in addition to the classic "flat" and "smooth" options.i also just found out that enabling the cavity shader, auto smoothing, and the normal map matcap is a great way to spot problems in the mesh
@aeva some folks from Volkswagen presented a Blender extension to validate car geometry here.

@aeva this looks lovely actually, what are you gonna use it for eventually?

@chengdulittlea the concept has drifted a bit, but the idea is to make a game about driving the magic 97 honda civic cx i had back in the day, with a moderately realistic simulation of the manual transmission, and real speed and distance (a rarity for racing games for a variety of exciting reasons). current vision for it is a time trial game in a variety of interesting environments, and an escalation of absurd power ups

@chengdulittlea and here's an old prototype showing off what I mean by "real speed and real distance" https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@aeva/113021784811735408
i'm not planning on continuing with the splat renderer, but I am intending on retaining the coordinate system that allowed this to work

@jon_valdes what does it do?

@jon_valdes what does it do?
@aeva it seems to show a reflective environment around the car that makes it easier to see which lines "look nice". Seems similar to what Freya did in her splines video: https://youtu.be/jvPPXbo87ds?t=1695

@ataylor it's new to me
@aeva @ataylor Fun fact: for a very long time there was actually two different ways of doing the same thing (edge split modifier, and auto smooth property in mesh panel), but both were kind of confusing and hard to discover, so the functionality was moved to a geometry node pinned to the bottom and an "auto" operator next to smooth and flat. In fact I think the modifier pinning feature was developed specifically to allow auto smooth to be seamless (figuratively and literally: if the user added a subsurf modifier after the auto smooth one, they would see seams).
These changes were released with Blender 4.1 almost 2 years ago, and it was very controversial at first. This new auto smooth had some rough edges.

whew ok that's a bit better
bad news everyone i installed windows

omg so I was going to make the windows separate meshes for material assignment reasons, but what if I also made it so you could roll down the windows (but only the driver's side while driving because you have to operate it with a little crank on this care there's no motor to do it for you)

not actually going to happen because the controller is going to be busy enough with the normal functions of the car, but it is fun to think about

Some more progress on the car today. I'm not going to keep with the PBR materials look in the game itself, though I think it's kind of funny how slapping on some PBR materials turns it makes the rough mesh look like a stuck LOD instead of something intentional.

also I made a sky generator

I got the sky dome and most of the :car: rendering via OpenGL ES2 today

I did something really bizarre and set the unit scale to 1/30 in the blend file a ways back and I do not remember why. This made getting the wheels back on the car more complicated than it needed to be.
I'm going to have to figure out later how to undo the unit scale without changing any of the measurements 💀
Anyways, here's the car now with wheels!

just in time for me to realize it's 3am and I need to go to bed and get up in time for an MRI tomorrow woo

i highly recommend drawing 19,359 (instanced) trees you will not regret drawing 19,359 (instanced) trees

you ever wonder how fast you can page 8 km map tiles in and out of jolt physics

(i have no idea)
it looks like if the car were for some reason moving 1000 miles per hour, that would give me about 17 seconds to swap in map tiles, which should hopefully be more than plenty as only the road is going to have a physics representation

C'è per caso da qualche parte una lista delle palestre popolari a Milano?
Sto cercando, ma trovo poche informazioni (o siti non più aggiornati).

@francommit perfetto, inizio a capire qualcosa. Grazie @snow @lgsp @andre123 @gecco

Sì, puoi fare così
Il nodo sul tetto sarà un dispositivo autonomo, con un suo ID.
Non ha bisogno del Bluetooth una volta configurato.
Il Bluetooth serve solo per la configurazione iniziale.Procedura corretta:
1️⃣ Lo configuri da vicino con il telefono (Bluetooth).
2️⃣ Imposti modalità (client o router), parametri, canale ecc.
3️⃣ Lo installi sul tetto.
4️⃣ Da quel momento lavora da solo.I messaggi del tuo nodo “mobile” arriveranno al tetto via radio, non via Bluetooth.
Il Bluetooth non c’entra nulla con il funzionamento mesh, serve solo per configurare.
Puoi usare la stessa app per configurare entrambi i nodi, uno alla volta.
Non devono “ricevere solo da uno”: nella mesh parlano con chiunque sia sulla stessa frequenza e con gli stessi parametri.In pratica:
📡 Nodo mobile → parla via LoRa
📡 Nodo sul tetto → inoltra ciò che riceve via LoRa
📱 Bluetooth → solo per configurazione localeUna volta sul tetto, il nodo è indipendente.

@evan I've chosen unicorn, but i mean dragon, tbh.

@ilarioq quando avvii l'app puoi selezionare il dispositivo dall'elenco, quindi si, chiaramente devi essere a "portata di bluetooth". Comunque con le ultime versioni oltre a configurarlo puoi anche aggiornare il nodo dallo smartphone senza smontarlo ogni volta dal tetto per collegarlo al PC @snow @lgsp @andre123 @gecco

Capisco cosa intendi.
Collegare il nodo a Internet con MQTT non crea copertura radio in quella zona.
Crea un collegamento logico tra reti.
Se nel punto dove lo metti non arriva alcun segnale LoRa, quel nodo:
* non ripete nulla via radio
* non estende copertura RF
* non “illumina” la zonaFa solo da ponte tra radio locale (se presente) e rete Internet.
Se domani in quella zona comparisse almeno un altro nodo LoRa, allora sì:
potrebbe fare da ponte tra quel nodo e il resto della rete tramite MQTT.Ma finché non riceve nessuno via radio, resta un nodo isolato collegato a Internet.
La copertura radio nasce solo da:
* linea di vista
* altezza
* antenna
* presenza di altri nodi raggiungibiliInternet non sostituisce la propagazione RF.
Se vuoi metterlo lì in attesa che compaiano altri nodi, va benissimo.
Ma è un nodo in stand-by, non un estensore di copertura.

Ricordate se avete un antivirus iraniano di disinstallarlo
