i love substance painter for allowing me to turn two cubes into some form of convincing ammo crate

oh and the ammo icons i made for them are kinda cool too

holy hell we're literally one play away from 1k

this is INSANE considering that Mana's Mayhem currently looks like a dev-only map LOL

hey so like i made a camera plugin thing for devs to make use of

it does stuff like render an entirely separate view similar to how Blender's render camera works

i think it's pretty neat anyway

hey y'all! i'd like to show off my plugin that i've been working on 24/7 for the past two and a half weeks!

meet Snapshot- a plugin that kind works like several plugins bundled in one, and all of them are built around camera stuff

big things are happening in Snapshot-ville

here's a demo of Snapshot's camera data system!

basically the CFrame + FOV gets stored in ServerStorage (so that you can script with it later!) and can be visualized with these in-world cameras

the cams have teleport triggers and info displayed along with them as well

update: horrendous floating point number errors are no more

you would not BELIEVE the extraordinary amount of code required to get these numbers to round and clamp correctly so that they could be parsed into a string format
February 13, 2025 at 3:52 AM
progress on the stored camera data system has begun...

on today's episode of "how jank can roblox's engine code actually be?" we have: floating point imprecision but only on Vector3!

finally gave all of my old plugins (that have their functionality merged and improved upon in Snapshot) a very slight cleanup. they finally have icons that will resemble Snapshot's icon when it releases

the viewport is 100% done for now
supports nearly any 3d object you throw at it

now you can see everything you're doing in realtime- this includes humanoids and animated humanoids (AnimationPlayer not yet supported, will probably add soon)

Snapshot coming sometime this week

THE HARDEST IS DONE.

the localized VPF in Snapshot updates all VPF compatible properties. this includes size, position, orientation, material updates, and material variants.

Snapshot should be out on the creator marketplace in the coming days. what would a fair price for it?

i've done it, individual micro-programs for Snapshot

behold: the humble Snapshot UI
*several coffees were harmed in the making of this UI.

the first essential functions for Snapshot (a to-be camera manipulation suite) have been completed

things like window management, app icons, tweens, etc

it's nearly 6am i should really get some sleep

anyway hi i've published my homebrew developer textures for all devs to use- with or without crediting me

create.roblox.com/store/asset/...

i originally created these for blocking out world geo in mana's mayhem (because hammer is more at-home to me) but figured i'd release it!

a free-form version of the Resident Evil inventory system (no grids or cubes to be seen!)

rest in peace brain, your three days of programming and debugging this were not in vain (potentially)
