Real HDR isn't a camera setting. It's done in in post processing by combining multiple photos with different exposure settings. So yes. lol

Some cameras automate this process.

Help / Re: How to make skyboxes?

« on: January 04, 2014, 12:11:39 AM »

Google "How to make a skybox". Depending on what you want to make Blender could help but there are specialized sky creating programs that are better at making skyboxes than Blender. Some of those programs also cost money.

Modification Help / Re: I've lost the east quad of a brick

« on: January 03, 2014, 12:15:59 PM »

Ah. So that means that the number there represents how many 1xNx1/3 bricks have to be in front of a brick before it can hide a face?

The units are 1x1f plates. For a 2x2x1 (2 2 3 in BLB) brick the sides should have a coverage of 0 : 6.

idk, in case someone decides to translate Blockland it's all there and will be a quick copy and paste operation or something

How do you plan on exporting all the strings in the game?

Was able to make another account using that link without entering a phone number.

I guess I'll try deleting all Google cookies then to see if Google is deliberately trying to forget with me.

Changing it back toブロックランド with the advice of Char and my dad


Edit: Changed Japanese and added a poll.

What is that poll supposed to be about? Blockland doesn't support translations.

What do you assume this from?

https://accounts.google.com/SignUp
After putting in my info it leads me to: https://accounts.google.com/UserSignUpIdvChallenge
Where the only option is to put in your phone number.

This is completely false. I just made an account without using a phone number. Just because the field is there does not mean you have to fill it.

It still asks for my phone number even if I leave the field empty.

well i guess it doesnt effect ones that are already there since i have no phone number attached to my gmail

although sometimes when i go to recover my password it asks me to put in a phone number after i change it but theres a skip button hidden somewhere

Correct. I don't have a number on my Gmail either.

Off Topic / Phone number required for making a Gmail/Google account

So I discovered this a few days ago. You must submit a valid phone number in order to use all features (including Gmail) of a Google account. What is this bullstuff. Yes there is a way around this by using online voicemail services but it's still a lot of unnecessary hassle. How long has it been like this?

Should maps be re-implemented? Yes. Is it practical or worth the effort? Most likely no.

question
did you have to look it up or did you come up with and type out "suorakulmainensärmiömaa" by yourself??

I'm Finnish.

Suorakulmainen särmiö = cuboid

palikkamaa, perkele

Silly me. I couldn't brain yesterday. Palikkamaa is what everyone would call Blockland if the name were to be translated since palikka = block. Kuutiomaa is just plain incorrect.
