Going off topic here but @Dan94 It is something I’ve tried as when it fails to boot it gets stuck at a usb error code. Even unplugging everything it still get stuck at the usb error. Which leads me to suspect it’s the motherboard usb controller failing rather than a usb device. I just want to rule out everything I can before trying to RMA an intermittently failing motherboard. @phil bottle It’s not that new anymore as I built it just over 2 years ago now. I didn’t realise it was that long though, time flies when you’re having fun.

My avatar <---- over there? Yes. It's basically me really though sadly I no longer own the green shirt it was based off of 😞 Unfortunately there may be some further delays in these due to PC problems - it's very hard to make logo's when your pc can take up to an hour to get it to boot into windows and sometimes when it does your mouse and keyboard don't work. Once I get in to windows and everything works then the pc is fine so I can continue working on the logo's but by the 15th restart sometimes I'm just too pissed off so turn it off and watch a film instead.

Probably won't pick one up at release, might not pick up a PS5 at all - I'll give it a few months to a year to see how the dust settles on next gen first before deciding Sony or M$.

Figured it out, sent my invite to join.

Work has been manic but a bank holiday weekend meant some time to work on these so time for another update. Capn Underpants: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49936942578_9ef7f455e9_b.jpg I've got most of the slot machine modelled, the different items of clothing added (though still 2 more to add). I've also rigged up the clothing so they rotate with each 'barrel' of the slot machine ready for animation. THe 2 clothing items won't take long to model then just texturing and animation to go. @Capn_Underpants is there any particular colours you want for your logo? Middle Class Caveman: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49937763097_0ea95f6556_h.jpg This went through a whole recolour again as I wasn't happy with the cell shading posted above. More hours than I care to count but I'm finally happy with how this is turning out. Still a few hours work left I feel but in preparation of finishing, @Middle Class Caveman Do you want your name, logo, FG logo or whatever added or happy with the just the man?

I’m more rock and powermetal but do enjoy some gothic tunes and used to dress like a goth 😄 I didn’t realise it was world goth day though, if I’d know I would have made an effort to dress up.

A small update time as work continues on these 🙂 Captain Underpants - I've had to look up UV unwrapping to texture the pants but now I've figured that out things should move a long a bit easier. CU pants logo as it stands (colour is just a test colour); https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49911560883_7b21ffa387_h.jpg Middle Class Caveman - I had visions of this being cel shaded but outside of Diddums Roadhog, I've not really done much cel shaded stuff. However cel shading an existing picture is easier than cel shading from blank. I think I'm on version 4 or 5 but I think I've got it looking close to what I planned. Still some details to work on, specifically the eyes as while they're the right colours they don't look right. Also, does anyone else get a Wolverine vibe from just the head? WIP: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49911560628_57d0e3d88b_c.jpg

I'm happy to have a go for anyone that wants a logo 🙂 I've got FG Logo, Nutty's Peanut, Middle Class Caveman and Capn Underpants on the go at the moment so I'll finish these off before starting another but I'll add you to the list. By your name, my mind goes to something along the lines of the avater you already have. Is this what you were thinking or have you got something else in mind? A black hole - is it the centre of a plumbers crack or have you just been digging holes again - We may never know 🤣

Mine is appropriate I feel mug IMGUR.COM Post with 1 views. mug

I’m up this, it’ll male a chance for a Friday. I just hope I have better luck than in Hereford.

@Middle Class Caveman FIrst Sketch: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49897636147_f2ed45de66_h.jpg No monocle but got the weights, cigars and the Merc in there. Proportions are a little off as apparently my anatomy is rusty these days. Thinking I might move the cigar to the mouth though as then if you did a headshot you'd still have your cigar on show. Let me know what you think, if you want changes or whatever then I'll get on making it properly. I'll add you to the list 🙂 I'll try to think of something based on what you've said.

@Middle Class Caveman I have yours roughly sketched out so I’ll be making a proper sketch later to make sure it’s what you want. @Capn_Underpants I’m thinking, the letters CU shaped like underpants with other items of clothing cut in half. Each half of the clothing is in a 2 ring slot machine. The right side stops on the letter U, the left side almost stops on half a Captains hat before finally clicking to the letter C. A jackpot sound plays, maybe some flashing lights etc. as the CU underpants letters expand to read your full Capn Underpants name. Could even include the captains hat then landing on top of the C of Capn. This is just my idea but really want to make designs people like so let me know if you have a better idea or any changes to be made.

Anything particular you have in mind or dealers choice?

Not going to lie my first thought was just Captain Caveman with a monocle 😆 I'll try to come up something for you though 🙂

I know there's been several discussions on here, in game chats, in the whatsapp group and in person about FG streaming, videos and generally getting FG out there. Following on from Nutty asking for the angry Scottish peanut, I was talking to Lee about this a little last night gave me this idea. It was somewhat also mentioned in the whatsapp group earlier too - generally for streaming or youtube videos there needs to be an identity, a brand. Obviously this place is FG so there is the FG brand; the logos, the colour scheme etc. and that will still exist and be used. Though we each have our own indentity too so following on from making Aaron's minigun toting angry Scottish peanut I'm offering to help anyone with any logo's or graphics they want for their avatars, for videos background and end cards, for logo's, for twitch overlays etc. that will help you go out there and promote yourself and this place. I don't really have the personality for fronting videos or streams but what I do have is a particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over too long in front of my PC so I'm offering those services to you. So whats possible; 2D Logo's, avatars, backgrounds, end cards etc. Basically 2d still images and I can do general jpg's or if neccesary vector images. 2D Animation - Currently no though it is possible and I have some ideas to do with it so I shall be looking up some tutorials on it at some point soon. 3D - General 3D logos, icons etc. are easy enough to make so I'm happy to make these. Even pushing to more detailed models though the more detail the longer it takes but I'll try to model antyhing people want. 3D Animation - Simple logo animation like the rotating FG logo or the FG logo used at the beginning of videos are easy enough so any ideas you have for the FG logo or if you want your own let me know what you want. Unfortunately more complex animation is out as it simply takes too long (for example, a 10 second video of 360 degree loop round a car took about 12 hours to render) So on to the logo's themselves, I plan on updating this OP as time goes on with more and more things. FG Logo I have the video clips still for the rotating FG logo and the one used for the intro to the montage's Rich has made. Unfortunately I have lost the 3d files for the FG logo though I've almost finished remaking it so if you have any ideas on it's used or a better video intro shout up and I'll (try to) make it. FG Logo (1080p): https://www.dropbox.com/s/4gihwo2vrc08qzk/FG Logo.jpg?dl=0 FG Logo Vector: no plans for this currently but if someone wants it, I can make it. FG Logo video intro: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ml6z9xji031n389/FG Intro.mp4?dl=0 Rotating FG Logo: to be added once FG 3D logo completed Completed: Nutty's Angry Peanut avatar and banner Middleclass caveman avatar, banner and signature. Current Work in Progress: Capn Underpants 3D Video intro To do list: G-dubs Tommy Matty Slamminbones So you lovely lot of FG, let your creative juices flow and let me know what you want.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 50/100 My Time 184 seconds

I’d be interested in giving this a go again. Missed a lot of stuff previously but hopefully would have more time to spend on it. Though can we have @GazzaGarratt riding a motorbike lying on the floor again 🤣

I have been on a Powerwolf binge recently - I mean who doesn't love a band made up of werewolf priests? So here have some of it yourselves.

Thanks mate, yeah apart from a few hours in Minecraft this was all my free time for 3 weeks. As for being quicker next time, I think a little. Although I think each model will have unique challenges so I’m not sure that much quicker until I’ve done 5, 10, 20 etc of them. Thank you Philly, yeah those pesky Italians do love to drive on the wrong side 😆 I realised after doing all the renders, I missed the wipers too but I cba to re render everything. Though might model them anyway for completenesses sake.

So after quite some time out of this thread it's finally time for an update. So after a little over 3 weeks work, I present a Lancia Delta Integrale Evo modelled and rendered in Blender. Front: Back: Video: Video isn't the greatest quality as it's only 720p but that still took ~12.5 hours to render so no way was I going to make higher res.

Welcome aboard John, nice to have you join this place. What single players games do you play? I tend to stick strategy games on PC like Civ, Stellaris, Surviving Mars.

Yeah, I picked one up at release as I needed a new controller and game had an offer on it if you bought it with a bee controller. I found it difficult to clip on to the controller in the first place but it’s simple after that. The options are only for the default playstation buttons but it’s easy to choose which button you want the back buttons to be. Actually using it will be by your own experience. For me, I had to adjust my usual grip of the controller because of where the buttons sit. They also take some getting used to, to press the back buttons rather than move your thumbs. Though I found one evening of CoD was enough to get used to it and a few more to get really comfortable with it. Is it worth it - it seems well made and is useful in certain games and situations though it isn’t cheap for what is essentially 2 buttons.

Nice Phil, you’ll have to let us know what you think of the PC360’s 🙂
