Actual useful application of AI: Filling out tedious parameters for Source Engine flex animation data. The commented out bits were filled in by GitHub Copilot 😎 Would've been slow to plug all of this in myself.

Had the bowtie turned off because I was working on getting the beard to move with the face better, it's here too lol.

Got my Roblox avatar into Blender with the original layered clothing skinning plus the FACS poses.

A lot of exciting API changes this week!

I feel deranged writing code like this outside of Roblox HQ in my own C# library. Interacting directly with reflection feels like forbidden witchcraft, yet it just works™ here.

Some cool fake locomotion stuff I did for Murder Labs. You can walk forward/backwards and strafe side to side and it'll dynamically adjust the walking animation to it! #RobloxDev

Making gameplay systems interact with each other is really fun!

i was morally obligated to make this change

We have proper bots in our game now :D Can you tell whos a real player and whos a bot in this video?

Forget NULL being the billion dollar mistake, you wanna know what really grinds my gears? Fucking NaN math errors with floating point vector math. Good luck figuring out that shit when it comes up, especially with Roblox's physics engine being super non-deterministic.

Pulling this off required vertex animation driven by 96 bones. It was about as painful to setup as it sounds. I didn't think I'd be able to get away with reusing frames for the required poses, but apparently it was enough.

So at the moment I've got 2-pose correctives recovering perfectly, but 3 pose correctives are still off. Just need to account for them in 3 pose correctives, then I should be golden.

Roblox's facial animation system has a feature called corrective poses, which allows you to define an additional pose for the face to take on when two or three base poses are colliding with each other. It's intended to fix collision issues on the face.

I've been digging into Roblox's newer material source textures and I'm starting to get conspiracy brained. There's more features to their PBR material system than they're telling us. The 2nd texture here is not the metalness map, it's the alpha channel of the roughness map.

A dynamic head I made for my bud @leadacid.bsky.social's birthday. Delivered it over a month late but I think it came out pretty good 😎 www.roblox.com/bundles/7173...

I have a longtime habit of reading every inbox message I get, but ever since Roblox disabled user messages I only ever get dumb GDPR shit that I just ignore. It's been painful to ignore my new messages against that longtime habit.

Ah yes of course, the cage mesh Roblox authored for blocky R15 doesn't pass their own validation lol.

I recreated the source engine microphone in Roblox and it's amazing.

This causes animations to break, so I had to store local bones in the character as a sort of read buffer for the animation data. I copy it over to the tool transforms and it works fairly well. KF's system architecture is very resilient to hierarchy refactors like this, which is super fuckin sweet.

After a good nap and some further scrutiny I was able to sort out the issue I was grumbling about earlier in a now deleted post. Now we've got super performant weapon switching and boosted frames!

>Prevent the hiring of individuals who are unwilling to defend the constitution or to faithfully serve the Executive Branch. Wow. They aren’t even hiding it anymore. There is no bipartisanship, you are either with their agenda or you are not a federal worker. This is fucked up.

Got The G-Man's shapekeys working inside of Roblox's EditableMesh feature 😎 No bones here, just direct vertex manipulation!

It was meticulous to do this 10 years ago, and it's meticulous to do this now lmao. I hope artists have full control over this kind of stuff eventually instead of requiring programmers to meticulously program these kinds of things. #RobloxDev #GameDev
