Is there a proposal for adding an option of sparse speckle* noise to Godot’s generated noise texture?

I’m sure this is easily achieved with a dedicated texture (or two, so the light speckle can be more visible beyond the regular highlighted area), but I don’t seem to be having much luck making or finding it.

*=Most of the original color is untouched but with lighter and darker splotches ideal for a stone texture or to just break up flat color.

Can 3D substitution* animation be exported from Blender? This isn’t easy to search, though what I could find seems like importing animations in general needs more clicks than expected. Even better would be a workflow with greasepencil and geometry nodes (though searching w/Godot leads to a paid tool), especially if that can also be used for vertex colors.

I have my doubts here as the first thing I tried (a custom shader with a 2nd vertex color map hooked up to glow) didn’t work. Though I’m not sure if that was an issue with gltf, Blender, Godot, how I exported it, or something else.

*= Switching visibility to another model rather than using deformation or texturing. If this does not export easily, I guess it’d be easy enough to manually do with Godot’s animation player so long as there aren’t too many frames/animations/states.

Using nodes to compose art (or even component-based code?) would be my guess. Though sure, for many scenarios/designs a node swap wouldn’t be needed.

A new YT video by a chemist (NY66qpMFOYo, go to 6:35) just came out highlighting that the acidity causes sucrose to invert into 50:50 glucose:fructose over time anyways, so it makes even less sense. And there’s more sodium.

I like Isomaltulose (glucose-fructose with a stronger bond, making it metabolize slower) but it’s expensive and not as sweet. Though maybe other types of sweeteners could be used like this, perhaps in combination for a better flavor profile.

My assumption here is that sugar would need to be dissolved, mixed, and emulsified with more care/difficulty than hfcs. Though if there is any issue here it might not be present until a product has sat on the shelf (or in your house) for too long. Also for gritty, I was thinking more for something like ketchup or other sauces.

I’m also not saying this is a fault of sugar itself, but that hfcs allows highly sweetened products to be produced more easily (which may present said issue if high sugar content is kept 1:1 despite no longer using hfcs).

Agreed, but I have doubts that this will be a massive improvement if the same amount of other sugars are used. I’m sure some things would reduce sugar to fit with production, but if some foods just became gritty (or, soda with sugar sinking to the bottom) I would not be shocked.

Particularly because that seems like the easy-but-wrong-answer. Not that “maybe we shouldn’t make sugar cheaper than water” and “food doesn’t need to be loaded with sugar to taste good” should be unpopular opinions.

Depends on how low your expectations are:

Granted it’s 7:30am, legally distinct, and I believe them bones are me.

I’d probably do a genre mix (3rd-person, themed boomer shooter?) if I had that capability, but I would probably struggle with with maps, writing, and just scope in general.

EDIT: Imagine Gex saying it, especially if you don’t remember the John Woo game.

I am similar, though for me I’d say it’s more of a personality disorder (SzPD) which also makes socialization a dilemma (it’s a term). Though I live somewhere without much to do (+no public transportation), particularly because I have no interest in driving.

Though I lack skills/money, plus have untreated health issues and likely depression.

It feels eerily similar to leaving the house and never having a reason to actually talk to anyone (that’s also me living on the edge of Nowhere).

Slightly better chances here I guess. I’d say it feels more sparse here but I guess thinking back other platforms either had similar results or other issues.

Yeah, I feel like the remakes lost some charm specifically when it comes to rendering tech (vertex colors, losing Spyro’s skyboxes feels like a crime). Particularly with the new data bloat.

That, and it seems re-makes don’t really fix core issues (Medievil’s remake).

I think the original tech/limits can be taken further aesthetically for a different workflow (very general/sparse use of textures), especially in the modern era. Still undecided on some artistic/technical choices, but I have much more here than I do in the ways of (low-scope) starting project ideas that I like.

Is this supposed to be self-deprecating or did you forget to switch accounts?

Honestly I’m not doing good with the rural shut-in USA campaign, especially with my poor rolls and lack of party. I don’t like this game. I can cut and pan-fry vegetables, so I got goin’ for me which is nice… hopefully a good skill to have as a N.Korean child.

Also I feel like hardly anybody would get across the DMZ as a child (as an adult still sounds a bit implausible). Even learning Korean via English (without raising suspicion) seems unlikely without internet so I am just expecting a Dwight-like story about escaping to China. EDIT: I see you changed the language bit

I would take this deal. (meaning fate on the tracks)

I would go with cereal water. It’s what it is, and something it can be used for.

Can they fix some of my medical problems (cyborg stuff, if possible?), and/or get me out of here? If not, this video: THOSE DAMN ALIEN BASTARDS ARE REAL. (Gianni Matragrano as Duke Nukem)

I have a similar issue… I have done slightly more than nothing, I really struggle trying to think of small projects that actually work for me.

The few things I’ve done I stop at a certain point because I have no motivation for the actual content* or there are platform* issues. One thing I made was maybe usable but was likely too much** of a time sink for me.

Though I keep trying other things hoping enough pieces fit that I can think of something.

EDIT: I don’t know if it is any help but what I’ve mentioned were text formats+loaders.

I was going to say: isn’t there something that they can do?

Allow and deny lists for brands or models of bikes?

Rules based on battery Ampere-hours?

Fire-proof bags or storage area (automatic lithium-fire extinguisher) for small ebikes?

Free certification/condemnation by a bike shop or other licensed technician?

Battery+charger swap* programs (free or very cheap) for safer batteries of similar voltage/amps? Though I don’t know if the production is there yet. (And it may be way too expensive.) *=the lithium batteries (or even cells) being reused and managed in more controlled settings

Could they give free public charging that monitors battery temperature (with temperature alerts), particularly if safe slow charging is ideal for the battery tech anyway. (Also perhaps expensive, but maybe less expensive than some water fountains)

Or just city-owned battery swap stations, though I expect battery compatibility would not be great.

A better de-icing solution?
