I wish I could tell Geppetto that his hair looks bad. I also wish I could break his spine into several pieces.

Screenshot from the game Lies of P. P is standing in front of Geppetto in his office. Behind them, pieces of generic white puppets lay dormant. Geppetto is dressed in grey pants and a grey vest, with a white undershirt and black bowtie. He's an older man in his late 50s or 60s. He has a medium-length grey beard. His grey hair is longer and straight, reaching to his jaw. It looks ratty and un-styled.

These are like candy to me. I want to equip them all at the same time.

Screenshot from game Lies of P - shown is a selection of 3 puppet arms you can equip that do different things. From left to right there's the "Puppet Arm" that lets you shoot an arrow/string. It's a mostly silver arm with black and gold accents. Then a blue/gold/silver "Fulminis" arm that has powers of electricity. And finally the "Flamberge" arm that's red/silver and gives you fire powers.

'Emerald Glasses' - No stats? They just look sick? ...fair enough. Yes, I'm playing a game from 2023 leab me alon

Screenshot of inventory item from the game 'Lies of P.' It shows a pair of rectangular glasses with green lenses. The item title reads: "Illusory Emerald Glasses." The description for the item reads: "Accessory. Glasses crafted with gems. It is popular among collectors because of its unique color. Jewel glasses that was among a certain alchemist's collection. You may see illusions if you look beyond the emeralds."

I need to know how this plays on the original PS1. If this gets me to finally set up a capture card then it was worth it.

Screenshot of an order I placed for Barbie Explorer on PS1. It says: "Your order details, We'll let you know when your order has shipped. Barbie Explorer Playstation 1 TESTED-" the rest of the text is cut off.

So she's wearing a button-up that's tied high in the front, but also a white undershirt that's tucked in... Idk I feel like Barbie should've been more fashionable than Tomb Raider

"The thing is you're really striving to make something look fairly real, but at the same time give it a certain flair." Timeless advice for 3d artists from Ron Thornton (Babylon 5, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) circa 1994. Interview from Amiga Computing Magazine.

Image shows screenshot of the start of an interview from Amiga Computing Magazine. The main text begins: "Anyone who reads Amiga magazines or watches TV will be aware of the world of Ron Thornton. He was a leading effects man in the UK on cult shows like Blake's Seven, and now is the creator, with his US-based company Foundation Imaging, of the visual effects for the Emmy award winning sci-fi TV show, Babylon 5."

I love finding reviews for old 3d software. This one for Aladdin 4D v5 for the Amiga. Look at the aart! The TARDIS. The enterprise. And the BANANA

Scans of an article on Aladdin 4D v5 by CU Amiga Magazine from 1997. There is a lot of text and drawings. The main piece of 3d art shown is a USA space ship headed toward a galaxy.

The article's introduction reads: "In the old days, there was a slew of 3D modelling programs, including Imagine, Lightwave. Caligari and Aladdin to name a few. Of these, none used the standard Amiga system of pull-down menus, requesters, windows and buttons.

Around this time, every programmer thought they knew better when it came to user interfaces, and consequently abandoned the standard Amiga look and were all pretty difficult to get to use. This was especially true, in my view at least, of Aladdin.

The latest rendering program released was HiSoft's Cinema4D, and thank heavens that this time we had the standard menus and buttons, and it worked properly with graphics cards. There's no need for modern Amiga software not to work in this way, and at this stage in the Amiga's existence there's little point in trying anything else.

Now, with a change of publisher, it's back, We're promised a 100% style guide compliant interface, with full support for CyberGraphX compatible graphics cards, What's that - an ARexx port? Could this be the software you've been waiting for to take advantage of all that expensive hardware you've bought?"

Scans of an article on Aladdin 4D v5 by CU Amiga Magazine from 1997. There is a lot of text and drawings, but the main image shows a 3d rendering of the TARDIS from Doctor Who. Below that, there are wireframe renders of the shape ship from the previous page.

The main body text is a continuation from the previous page, which reads: "Look and feel

True to their word, or at least, the word on the back of the box, Aladdin is a true Anvga j program. Screens, menus and requesters are ell familiar and easy to use. The concept of tab lists has been pinched from the PC, and these make it easy witch from one list of options to another.

Keeping up with Amiga developments, there is a multitude of possible display modes to work in and display renders. Native Amiga (including AGA) is joined by support for the following hardware: DC-TV. Opalvision. Resolve r, Retina and VideoToaster. Picasso or CyberGraphX -.. are not included by name, although on my Picasso II system the new screen modes were listed under the standard Amiga drivers. This will probably be true for any CyberGraphX compatible card.

Once you have selected your display modes for the Bditor, preview and render screens, you can roll up your sleeves and get down to I some serious 3D work. Aladdin is a point based program, which classes it alongside Imagine and Cinema4D rather than Real3D, ' which is based on primitive solids..."

Scans of an article on Aladdin 4D v5 by CU Amiga Magazine from 1997. The main image showed a 3d rendering of a banana on a plate. The main text, continuing from the last page reads: " list".

Each attribute setting can change per frame, and this is altered using the sliders which control the time line. It's unusual controlling the settings for time here in the attribute window, but it makes sense.

It's also unusual to separate these attributes from the textures, hut that's how it's done. Probably in order to prevent a gadget melt-down, the textures requester is invoked separately. From here you can apply both procedural (mathematical! and bitmap textures. These can define the usual colour or bump settings.

For extreme cases, it's possible to apply an Anti-aliasing filter to blur the bitmap slightly and avoid chunky pixels appearing where you least expect them. It can also* be useful when using bitmaps with few colours - a texture with- 16 shades will develop many more when anti-aliased, and therefore look a lot better in 24b it renders."

$Scans of an article on Aladdin 4D v5 by CU Amiga Magazine from 1997. The main image shows a grey box version of the Enterprise from Star Trek on a galaxy backdrop. The main text, continuing from the last page reads: "within a shape, such as a sphere. How transparent the gas actually appears is defined by its 'turbulence', which is a measure of how much fractal noise is applied. There are many settings to experiment with, and with a little effort you can render some very realistic planet atmospheres, photon torpedoes, galaxies and candle flames. Lens flare effects are still all the rage, and Aladdin provides these star-shaped flashes of light by cunning manipulation of bitmaps. It may seem a little like cheating, but the approach is flexible - flares can be hidden behind objects, poking through the detail on the top of your star cruiser as it slowly moves across the screen for example."

Can't believe I've never seen your website. It's incredible.

Screenshot of a section of OP's site. It is black text on a neon green background. It reads: ENTRY #00002

Yep! You can also select/deselect verts in the weight paint mode, although it doesn't work the same as other modes so it's confusing. To manually paint with the mirror mode on, the object's origin needs to be centered in the geometry. That could be why the symmetry is breaking.

Lol. It's not even a complete map.

Another zoomed-in screenshot from Vue. It's two columns - title of the left one is "Software," and title of the right is "Companies."

Under "Software" the following programs are listed: Marvelous Designer, Flash/Animate, Substance Painter, ZBrush, 3ds Max, Softimage.

Under "Companies" the follow are listed: CLO Virtual Fashion Inc, Adobe, Macromedia, Allegorithmic, Pixologic, Maxon, Autodesk

There's lines in-between connecting each program to its owners, both old and new. Marvelous Designer to CLO. Flash/Animate to Adobe, and Macromedia as its old owner. Substance Painter to Adobe, and Allegorithmic as its old owner. Zbrush to Maxon, and Pixologic as its old owner. And 3ds Max and Softimage to Autodesk.

Did the same thing for my software video. Used a different software though, hence the eye-bleeding white. But ooouugh this is so much more organized. New script is way harder.

Similar screenshot to the Obsidian one - but this is from the program "Vue." The notes here are a lot more organized and in neat columns.

Vertex@endvertex· May 1

Is this how everyone else writes things, or am I just innovative? /s

Image of a large, chaotic "canvas" from the Obsidian program. It looks like a lot of post-it notes, some connected by wires. There's no text in the screenshot for any notes because it's zoomed out.

I wonder how this game ends

I seemingly overnight have 5 white hairs at the front of my head. I know I need to reduce stress. But then I read this from one of the sources and realized I'm doomed... cause I've never had a vacation in my adult life.

Screenshot from an article by Columbia University Irving Medical Center from the sources of the Google summary. It reads: "'There was one individual who went on vacation, and five hairs on that person's head reverted back to dark during the vacation, synchronized in time,' Picard says."

A lot of creators I watch, who I know are younger than me, are getting gray hair at an alarming rate, so I had to look this up.

Screenshot of a Google search result summary that reads: "Appearance: Stress-related graying may appear in patches or specific, thin sections of the hair correlated with stressful times. Age-related graying tends to be a slow, uniform loss of color, starting at the temples or roots."

Hard to say who I liked the most buy Gray the Doggo and Pants were tops.

Screenshot from the game Creature Kitchen. You're in a 70s-style country kitchen looking down at a whippet dog who is looking up at you with a little pink heart over its head. Behind him at the table sits a creature called 'Pants' that is shaped like a white pair of pants. It's looking at you waiting for its meal.

Creature Kitchen was so good. Super cozy but a little creepy. Solid puzzles and mysteries. Peak ambience. I only unlocked ~50% of the achievements, but technically beat it in under 4hrs. Gonna replay for sure.

I have a display shelf of various Tomb Raider things. And I've had these 90s figurines forever, but they're all in orig boxes and the boxes didn't fit on the shelf. One of them was coming a part, so technically I HAD to remove it (and play with it). But now I can display one :)
