[OOC Board] - All the World's a Game

[Katrix]

Here's a example. A image I did some time ago.
Tell me what happened in this image. Does it need to be a animation?

All I can think of is that someone or something escaped and a keyblade was used... don't know by who, but whoever or whatever escaped was highly important.

That or something of high importance was being kept there, and someone had stolen it.

It does not need to be animated, just seeing that picture can put a story into someone's head.

im having slow work, so free time, so im kind of online

Ktrix, that is an awesome image

[Katrix]

Thank you.

Personally I see a lot I could have done better, but it's a decent image.

@Katrix and Wonder

I've used Blender to try and mod Skyrim, but I could never get past the texturing phase.

I don't know how to UV map a model.

Who knows, maybe in the future, we'll be able to just think up of an item or scene and it appears on the computer.

It can't be too far off.

Based on the rate of technology progression today, along with the kind of stuff being planned for 2020, maybe we'll have the technology to do that in the next 50 years.

@S121

There's always the smart UV project function which does things for you. It might not always work as you want it, but I think creating such a tool would be impossible.

Don't forget that their is a purple cloud of sleeping gas that is enveloping the city, though if you are on the outer limits of the city then you will only see the purple cloud in the distance.

Also people are knocked out by it, but the civilians are going to be waking up soon due to the gas growing weaker by the second. Soon it will be too weak to have any effect except make people slightly dizzy.

@Katrix
Ahh, the impossible is just an overused word nowadays.

People thought it was impossible to land on the moon, but we did.

People thought heart transplants were impossible, but we did it.

People thought that humans flying through the air was impossible, but now we have planes carrying 40-50 people at a time.


It just goes to show the true power of ingenuity and creativity. We are capable of making the impossible, possible and the improbable, probable.

Just because something seems impossible, doesn't mean that it's set in stone.

One day, we'll be able to decode the electric signals in the brain with such accuracy and efficiency, that we'll have the technology to save the creations from people's imaginations and have a computer render them.

Perhaps as you imagine the item, the computer will save vertices and follow your instructions via a neural headband.

We already have begun to create video games that require you to use your brainwaves to move objects and prosthetics that respond to neural impulses, so all we have to do is push the envelope further, develop more advanced machines, and devote time into the project.

It's simply a matter of time before someone has that one idea that changes the world.

[TossMan]

Oops sorry, that was really a godlike mistake :O

[Katrix]

@S121

Humans themselves are imperfect. They make errors. Therefore the computer program will also make errors.
Remember that even though you remove every error there is, there will always be some more.

[S121]

@Katrix

Humans don't have to be perfect to create something as advanced as that.

Your computer is working just fine right now, isn't it? After all, it was created by an imperfect being.

All we have to do is make sure that we don't make mistakes, and when we do, we fix the bugs and refine the rough areas.

The best we can do is refine it, to remove as many errors as possible.

Take airplanes for example. The first ones were not the best, but they did the job. Over time, we refined them and now they're safer and faster than in the past.

Now we have jets that can surpass the sound barrier.

That being said, humans aren't walking errors. We do more things right than we do wrong.

In the end, it will be crude at first, but it's just a matter of refining the technology and putting forth the effort to improve and expand on it.

[Katrix]

@S121
Of course. I'm just saying you can't get 100% perfection. Maybe 99.9%, but not 100%

[WriggleRid3r]

So apparently I can catch flying mosquitoes with my bare hands...

[S121]

@Katrix

Understood.

It would be just as every creation today.

It would be interesting to see it bug up and turn the model into a ball of random spikes though.



@Wriggle

I didn't know you were a ninja.

[WriggleRid3r]

I'm not. My GF is 3rd Dan in Tae Kwon Do, though.

Oh yeah right. Post.
