Nice!

I just got a brand new 3d printer and it came in dozens of pieces with worse than Ikea instructions. I spent 2 hours assembling the thing, and then a few hours trying to print something.

Behold what I have accomplished:

Hey, that looks really nice. Is it all from the tut or you're flying manual at this point?
Some sweet materials here, like the cup and the donut's sides.

I'm working on losing weight so I'm not gonna look further for the foreseeable future at pics of salacious pizza slices or gleaming donuts.

Tell me when it gets to 1,000 pages.

This point represents completion of the donut tutorial, so it was guided. At this point I can try to make something alone or do another tutorial. I think first I'm gonna play with materials and shaders because I made a spoon on my own for the scene, but it looks like rear end. The shape of it is fine, but the surface material does not look like silverware. So I'm look up some stuff about metal materials and try to figure that out before moving on.


Here is the scene with the shamefully imperfect spoon.

Update: the spoon is now sufficiently shiny and spoon-like. The spoon was not part of the tutorial outside the generic instruction "your homework is to make a utensil for the scene". This spoon represents a great victory on my path to artistic discovery.

Thanks man. I'm pretty happy with it overall. I'm anxious to do something on my own because until then it's very easy to think "someone showed me how to do this, so it's not really mine". I think I'm going to do at least one more tutorial on a more complex object first though. Because I don't know that I could make anything more than like two distinct parts and a variety of different materials. The same guy has one how do a chair, so I'll think do that and try to make something completely on my own and see how it goes.

Just though this was pretty cool and interesting. Someone got ray tracing to work on a SNES. It’s hardware assisted like the original StarFox was with the superFX chip, but still quite impressive.

A few years ago I sold someone an Oculus Rift Dev Kit. Then a little while later I had to make a graphic about his arrest for the evening news. He was the first person to be charged with Oregon's revenge porn law. :aaaaa:

I'm now looking for a job, so I logged into LinkedIn for the first time in forever and I got a notification about him. I didn't even remember that we'd connected so my initial reaction was, "Oh gently caress, that guy!?", and then I actually read it and laughed really hard.

Cross-posting my review from the Book Barn into here as well, in case anyone wants to read a cool book:

I finished David Drake's The Dragon Lord, his first novel - and I loved it! Here's my review.

A good book! A fascinating fusion of sword-and-sorcery story beats and a historical military story. The setting is after/during the Fall of Rome, when Britain is mostly free of Roman influence and the Saxons are trying to establish domination. This is when the original legend of King Arthur sprung up, and he is a central figure in this story, the titular Dragon Lord.

In this novel, King Arthur is a club-footed man with a terror of being in battle without his horse, and a tactical and strategic genius who trains his armies and integrates the fighting styles of men from all over Europe and beyond to create a terrifying force that will conquer Britain - and he has eyes on the entire world. Lancelot is a Roman subordinate to him, and there are other familiar names - but none of them are the classic medieval chivalric mold, because this isn't that era.

Except, of course, for Merlin. Enter the fantasy element: Arthur wants a dragon, and Merlin can and will provide.

Enter our protagonists, our heroes: Mael and Starkad. They're not in the legends, and are a fascinating pair of viewpoint characters. One's an Irishman, the other a Dane, and both are mercenaries who take up work in Arthur's army because the pay is good. They're fantastic at giving us an honest look at how King Arthur works, as well as great characters in their own right. Mael might be a bit of a stereotype - a clever, good man who can mete out violence and survive it - but he works, and has some nuance to him.

The plot covers a series of adventures: Mael is sent to Ireland to retrieve a skull for Merlin, so that the dragon can be summoned. Mael and Starkad are sent to assassinate a Saxon warchief for his mythical weapons. Mael and Starkad join Arthur's army for a grand battle with the Saxons. -- And a final one, that shall remain a spoiler.

There is a woman, and a believable romance because it's entirely practical. There is magic, but it never drowns out the gritty realism of the setting - even when it goes entirely fantastical. There is violence, and worse - but the author doesn't linger.

I'll be upfront with this warning: while it's not graphic, there are mentions of sexual violence in this novel. Soldiers rape and pillage, and the author doesn't whitewash it. Again, though - he doesn't linger.

I genuinely loved this novel, and got attached by the end, and I'll be sad that I won't get to see Mael and Starkad again. I also love the mythical echoes surrounding King Arthur and his men. It's a worthy look at where his legend might have come from.

Highly recommended if you're interested in either sword-n'-sorcery, military fantasy (the battle is GREAT) and/or this era of British history.
