Ruining It For Everyone Else Since 2004
Video production is going well. So far I have two Resonite videos compiled and ready to release. The Resonite videos won’t have any additional animation to go with them, unfortunately. As much as I’d like to add something extra I can’t find the reason. As it stands though I think they’ll be fine enough on their own. When I have more energy tomorrow I’ll start working on the video thumbnail(s)
Until then I’ve been diagnosed with sleep.
A couple weeks back we found a VHS player in one of the worlds in Resonite; it turned out to be leftover from the Neos VR era, so it ran on older code. Yutram managed to get it working on Resonite’s more current code. We tested it out with The Cowboy Bebop Movie, one of many anime movies I can recommend. Other than some volume issues at the start we had it sorted in a few clicks. Apparently they have it available on archive.org!
We continued the adventure into a few other worlds. We went to a circus, a Minecraft village, and ended the night at a fancy resort that had a lot going on. A working pool, bumper cars, a beach with working showers, and a bunch more that has yet to be explored. The bumper cars had to be the funniest part though, unfortunately I forgot to film… but we will be returning with Bong to show him a good time, and have another laugh. 😀
Yutram and I went for another round of world exploration tonight. We found some old relics from the past, including an NFT Cryptobro Museum (it was just as bland as it sounds). Then we hopped to a few other small worlds until we met up with a couple other friends and watched a bit of a documentary before calling it an evening.
We also made a new friend along the way, and they were the only one playing in actual VR! Watching them gush over the working record player and other items was great, exactly what I did when I started playing around. Hard to believe I’m already 100 hours in, and I still feel like a n00b. 😛
You know sometimes you can end up on the strange part of the internet? In Resonite you can ACTUALLY experience it. This is just a mere fraction of what I found tonight, maybe the weekend will prove more fruitful.
In the meantime: Open Thread
I’ve got enough footage from Resonite that I’ve started sifting through the couple hundred gigs I’ve accumulated. I still have to figure out how I want to divide it up, but I have plenty for at least one video. I’ll go over it again with fresh eyes tomorrow to figure out how I want to end the video, and what additions I need to add to it… if any. So far I’m not sure if I need to add anything additional.
Each night I’ve been diving into public folders where avatars, props, and all kinds of tools are kept. This evening I scored on some Omega Mart Products! Methinks I’ll be doing some grocery shopping for my personal home. 😀
During my excursion into public folders of swag I also stumbled upon some drinkable Gatorade bottles. Another item I’ll probably stock up on… if I remember which folder I grabbed it from. I was filming at the time, so if I forget I’ll probably be reminded when I finally get around to processing the footage. 😛
More Resonite shenanigans! Yutram and I worked on our avatars a bit with some science, and then we spent the rest of the evening adventuring through more worlds. We followed a cat to a hand drawn spirit realm. I’m sure it looks even more amazing in VR.
Then I ended the evening listening to records with Bong and one of their friends. Twas a nice evening overall. 🙂
Our movie night was a success! We decided to watch the 1977 Japanese Comedy/Horror Film “House”. It was one hell of an experience that taught me that even horror films have their super sentai moments. It’s about a young girl who travels with her friends to visit her Aunt’s house, and then things get really interesting. It was full of 1970’s campiness, and managed to hold anime/manga vibes. We had some good laughs watching it tonight! We also did some world building afterwards, and a bit more exploration. We found a dreamscape world that dances to music. The skybox even has audio visualizers, the trees and rocks dance in tune with the music and it’s just a whole vibe I can appreciate!
I may be playing a lot of Resonite, but I’ve at least been learning about model porting and Blender along my travels. Tonight I successfully ported over the lotus I wear in the YouTube vids, and thanks to the help of Yutram and Bong they helped me retexture it. There will be plenty more opportunities for me to burn more knowledge into my brain as I bring over more accessories and models. We’re thinking of having another weekend movie night in one of the cinema worlds tomorrow, now we just need to decide on what to watch…
One moment a friend wanted to know if I wanted to pal around with them in their TARDIS in Resonite, and the next I got to meet a friendo of theirs, and from there we did some world hopping. Since playing Resonite I’ve already accumulated a couple hundred gigs of footage, will have to go through it at some point!
Tonight in Resonite: We accidentally stumbled upon a world with puzzles to solve. We got through quite a few of them before deciding to call it a night. Other than that I’ve been continuing to learn how things work. My nameplate now has a custom font, and I’m learning how to attach models to other models so that I can recreate the nightmare fuel from my SFM sessions.
