PS: we have apparently forgotten to add atomic masses to the file - all of the chromosomes are infertile... But the spaceship made it!

That's a lot of context, every word a surprise holyfck

Started with robotics, arduino and derivatives - it got a basic c-like language which made it easy to then learn c++. Self-taught by learning what was needed for work but it took years to get decent and figure out good practices

Oh fuck right off

Oh and BUY OUR GAME, link in bio, this way you sponsor...whatever this is, as well. Feel free to ask if u have any questions...

That's about it! This was our first try with stopmotion - my only regret is we didn't make more frames with smaller movement increments. The plastic (omelette in the photo) is awesome - super cheap as an alternative to 3D printing, can be reused many times, and you get to work with your hands!

But I do still recommend the magnets - they are incredibly powerful. They don't connect to the body directly, so we can rotate it while the limbs stay in place (u can see in the animation). We made the body out of five separate segments - two rotating hemispheres, two sliding "jaws" and the base.

Sudden movement or too much strain on the magnets that connect the strings to the plate above (this is the stand we used btw) can cause one of the magnets to disconnect, which causes a chain reaction, and it just all falls apart. It almost feels satisfying if not for the heartbrake

And this is why I don't recommend using magnets for ALL of the interlockings. This happened four times, we had to reassamble it using the photos we already made as reference. The plastic bends easily when it's thin and doesn't break so do that for minor joints that only have one axis of movement.

Oh and the feathers are made out of ceiling tiles. Just cut with scissors. They attach the the plastic easily afterr you QUICKLY heat up the surface of the plastic to a melting point.

This is what it looks like in the end. We used spray paint for the red segments - it sticks pretty well after it dries overnight (don't make the plastic greasy by accident) but you should still wipe off any paint dust that remains or it will stain the clean plastic.
