@mechabaron which movie is this? Curious

Tsunami gate pick I took in Japan a year and half ago go. Love this thickness

moving construction grids because why not

@Rainmaker1973 this is how they introduce bs laws to create ground for bs compliance regulations that suck the country dry

A groundbreaking bill in New Zealand aims to grant legal personhood to whales. If passed, the Tohorā Oranga Bill would transform whales from protected wildlife into legal entities with enforceable rights, allowing them to be represented in court to defend their habitats and well-being. Introduced by Green Party MP Teanau Tuiono and strongly supported by Māori and Pacific leaders, the legislation is deeply rooted in tikanga Māori, which regards whales (tohorā) as sacred ancestors rather than mere animals. The bill would recognize whales as legal persons with inherent rights to free migration, natural behavior, and a healthy environment. This landmark proposal builds on New Zealand’s pioneering legal precedents, such as granting personhood to the Whanganui River and Mount Taranaki, complete with appointed human guardians. By extending similar rights to whales, the bill would enable legal action to be taken on their behalf whenever their habitats or migration routes are threatened. The legislation represents a profound shift in conservation law — moving away from traditional resource management toward a model where nature itself has enforceable rights and a voice in court.

theory checks out

Grid based construction system buffed with the ability to be at any angle and independent of the world position. Can theoretically be used as many small grids scattered around the level to control where things can be placed.

@mike_doscher btw thanks, I'm rendering sanctus materials into a rect then bake to texture and apply those textures as base layers inside of ucu setup. seemed easier then baking sanctus to UVs and then dragging all that into ucupaint every time I needed a change x.com/mechabaron/sta…

BTW there's no UVs here, this is all Sanctus: superhivemarket.com/products/sanct… Their previews look all plasticky and brash but you can get some really nice worn and quiet materials out of their solutions without much trouble

Starting doing a test of the new Array modifier in Blender 5.1 but got sucked into an idea for a transport for carrying mechs or units where you would drive from inside the unit being transported. There are a few like these but I wanted to explore some shape and function stuff

@mike_doscher I need to see it in action

@ZSum716 @Mandaloe2 👀

Had a chance to talk to Miles J. Litteral @Mandaloe2 of Sazori Zero Labs about tabletop, video games and the translation of one to the other (which he's currently doing with mech combat boardgame Ferrous)! youtu.be/DthzoK1t_DU?si…

Looked at the steam sale then closed it and went back to development. Something is off 🤒

mood rn

basic grid-based building system with support for custom shapes

@SuperSisi Not even close youtu.be/lJnMaTx4yjI?si…

Make your case
