00:31 <InPhase> teepee: I had actually implemented all those smooth transition mechanics, but then by the time I went and filled in the top level scheduling, that all got squished into a couple of frames. :)

00:32 <teepee> so full feature film next year :)

00:32 <InPhase> I had it slower at first, but it looked awkwardly not like an ice skater, transitioning too slowly.

00:32 <InPhase> lol

00:33 <InPhase> Perhaps next year I'll add left/right skating. ;)

00:34 <InPhase> Or like, variables.

07:19 <JordanBrown> teepee were you interested in either the no-L coins or the Loch Ness Monster with a Santa hat?

07:25 <JordanBrown> I think the Nessie is actually printable. I need to try printing one, though without the water.

07:26 <JordanBrown> In case you've lost the link: https://imgur.com/a/ZWHcsL5 first two pictures are real world, second two are models.

08:37 <Scopeuk> Nessie was fun

08:37 <JordanBrown> Printed a Nessie, tilting the head and tail 30 degrees. Printed pretty well, except for the ball on top of the hat. Next round I'll drop that a little so that it's more attached to the hat, but at the small scale it has problems because of heat accumulation and minimum layer time. Printing several at once would probably help a lot. I may print several as stocking stuffers.

08:40 <Scopeuk> almost tempting to try and turn nessie into a book mark

08:44 <JordanBrown> Added a photo of printed (but not painted) Nessie to the imgur post.

15:32 <lf94> What's the "no-L" ? lol

15:44 <Scopeuk> it's a pun

15:44 <Scopeuk> no-L is noel

15:48 <lf94> aaah

15:48 <lf94> nice one lmfao

16:52 <InPhase> lf94: Took me a few seconds. I thought I missed a protest movement. ;)

16:52 <lf94> lol

16:52 <lf94> Same, to be honest

17:03 <JordanBrown> It helps to say it out loud. Also if you interpret circle-slash-X as "no X", rather than as "Don't X" or "X is prohibited".

17:04 <JordanBrown> Another variant is "ABCDEFGHIJKMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ".

17:07 <JordanBrown> Even at 2x, the ball at the top of Nessie's head really suffers from overheating. I wonder whether the whole "slow down small layers" scheme is a good idea, if it means keeping the head on the model for even longer. It seems like for big layers you're OK, for middle-small layers slowing down is OK (because you'll still be away from any given point for 15s or whatever), but really small layers it becomes bad because all of that extend

17:07 <JordanBrown> ed-time heat is pouring into a small area.

17:07 <InPhase> JordanBrown: Inspired by that, I just asked my parents 12 minutes ago, "What is Santa Cause's favorite Christmas song?" Then I gave the answer. It's been 10 minutes. I'm waiting for them to get it. ;)

17:07 <JordanBrown> :-)

17:08 <InPhase> Apparently they are studying the lyrics to Noel carefully...
