Ham Equity posted:How does VR Chat deal with legs? IK built off the unity engine IIRC, or built into the model animation packages for non-bipedal models (you can be a spider or centipede or even a talking gun, it gives no shits). It can be a little janky depending on the model, but ends up… surprise…. nobody gives a poo poo about your leg animations as long as they aren’t actively a distraction.

Aren't leg animations like a solved problem in video games?

Leg animations in normal games are easy. In VR, looking down and seeing 'your' virtual legs doing something way different from what your irl legs would be doing can be offputting and weird. Especially if you're sitting down or something. Facebook originally tried to "solve" that by having no legs and making everyone a floating torso. But enough people hated it and complained that they changed their tack. Now they're trying to do some AI bullshit to make the legs move "naturally". And yeah VRchat just uses canned out-of-the-box walking animations. It also has the option to use leg trackers to make the virtual legs match your IRL leg movement, but you need some separate (expensive-ish) hardware for that. There are people who use full body tracking to do stuff like breakdance in VR which is pretty cool.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:Leg animations in normal games are easy. Yeah honestly, canned out-of-box is more than good enough for like 95%+ of uses, and I see absolutely no reason that usual corporate use is more than a routine IK package can handle, especially if they're limiting models to routine humanoids, presumably based on a common base. They're either over-engineering this poo poo or reinventing the wheel. This is a solved problem. Also, it occurred to me: Their legless model idea also already exists in the wild, too. Look at "Rec Room" for a game that did that already and better. Sundae fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Oct 14, 2022 |

AreWeDrunkYet posted:You know, that may actually be a selling point. A lot of middle managers are having trouble demonstrating much value in an all remote environment. It turns out that if you just let people manage their own time and priorities within reason, work still gets done even without the watchful eye of a bunch of people doing no actual work. My company went through this during the pandemic when a lot of employees went remote. A good chunk of my fellow managers wanted to have the employees leave webcams on all the time, and did daily check ins where they asked the employees to describe exactly what they did each day. I pretty much pretended my employees didn't exist unless I needed to talk about goals and initiatives. Show up online an hour late? Hey, as long as your poo poo gets done I don't care. Want to go to take your kid to school so need to take a two hour lunch? Knock yourself out, I know you'll stay late some day to make up for it. Guess which department was more productive.

Good news for your quest: That one is still going despite a few "oopsies" where the money went to mysterious places and is actually up to over $3.6k a month in donations.  Not sure if anybody is going to be able to top 50's Girl Groupon who managed to get well over $35k (plus somewhere between $3k and $10k in non-GoFundMe direct payments) from goons before they got caught and then autobanned. To be fair, I think they were not scamming initially, but started after they figured out they could make a living off of the donations and started having miraculous recoveries and relapses for two years. Edit:  pentyne posted:I'm gonna be 100% clear, I would take good faith assumptions that the whole point behind the fund was always to help people and not to demand proof of hardship or anything like that and despite some super dumb reactions plinkey is probably big on wanting to help people as much as they can.

I bet there's some boomers out there who had similar retirement plans, but the Russians didn't end up nuking us, dollars are still real, and people don't just fall over and die as soon as they can't work anymore, so they must be hosed. Hoping for the apocalypse and just ended up with the same mundane too poor to afford human food retirement that all the normies get.

So, probably those two.

I just went check on the rental thread and it has been closed for over 3 years, but the best thing is that one of the repeated complaints people had in there was that BFC was monstrous forum because "their most popular thread is devoted entirely to making fun of someone with some mild self-control problems" and multiple people defending Zaurg as a victim of capitalism who had no choice in his fate. lmao.

The landlord thread was pretty poo poo, though. If it was just about the financial aspects of it, whatever, but if I remember correctly, it involved slumlording as well as discussions of some stuff which was either straight up illegal or just almost unanimously deemed distasteful like turning off heat during cold winters or whatever. Anyway, make friends so you're good if everything collapses, make money so you're good if it doesn't.
