I have good news and good news.
1. Docs are here! paws-bakery.readthedocs.io
2. Now the meshes are sorted and you can see the matching high/low meshes.

Tech writing is a struggle. I skipped English classes, so it was a struggle x4.
Feedback, reviews and PRs are welcome!

Dig and mining power and idk.
The cooldown timer I think I'd figure out, although I'm more used to round "watches" with radial gradient

Oh, I can imagine. Especially the part where you into 80% done recognize some corner case so you have to redo the things. 🫠

Pawsgineer @pawsgineer.bsky.social · 28d

Oh, didn't know it's free.
I've been missing something like this since I ditched HOps in favor of ND.

I'm finding most of the animations in UI so annoying.
Although visually this effect is dope for sure.

Pawsgineer @pawsgineer.bsky.social · 28d

Are keys exported as meshes or are they placed procedurally?
Would be interesting to see export process/organization for such asset

I love this one:

Wish it would keep size/pin after switch between scenes/3D<>2D. And wish to find some time for contribute it.

Wanna embrace Loggie, Loggie-Console and imGUI integration.

Fun fact(?), this project has a few personal details, like the books are all some of my favorite books (like the DaVinci Code, Sherlock Holmes, the LOTR books)
And the paintings on the walls are nature screenshots of some of my favorite games (MGSV, Skyrim, The Witcher 3, and Uncharted)

3D Blender render of an isometric room made by me
There's pale yellow walls, a light wood floor, a daisy rug in the center, there's an asymmetrical coffee wood table with some books and CDs and a plant with flowers on it, there's a little library on the wall with more books and another plant on it, there's a leather sofa chair, there's multiple plants scattered about including a bonsai on top of a trunk table, there's a desk with a pc and more CDs and notebook, there's some nature paintings along the walls

It may be confusing, because I would think "ok, it's this type of games with yellow markers" and then miss or struggle because expecting it's everywhere

Here's a short demonstrating the texture baking process with PAWS:Bakery. Thanks to glTF support in #Blender and #GodotEngine, import and export of assets with baked materials takes seconds.

I've had no ability to do VO this time 😥

Ferry crossing 😅

Pawsgineer @pawsgineer.bsky.social · Sep 9

I use it a lot, but just learned yesterday that you can add undo history here too.
Although it's too easy to misclick and hang Blender.

Those tech bros are still convinced that the goggles went well and they are just for chosen ones 🫠

The "Neighborhood Watch" achievement got me a bit nervous though 😁

Pawsgineer @pawsgineer.bsky.social · Sep 9

Do not forget to re-record it 3 times, because the feature/UI changed while you was fixing bugs 🫠

Pawsgineer @pawsgineer.bsky.social · Sep 9

Well, I think it's more about your definition of success than a public's opinion.

The good thing is that you sure will improve to the time you do update or another project, so your implementation will be even better.

Pawsgineer @pawsgineer.bsky.social · Sep 9

I'd say B or DLC/after release update.

If it's an option to make game fun and interesting without this content, release without it.
If it's a flop, learn the lesson and move on.
If it's success, well, it's success and you can do whatever 🫣

I usually edit shorts in 16:9 because both Blender and Resolve fail to display what is out of frame when I need to split 16:9 clip into regions and frame it.
