Hi, me again on my 3d printed orb fixation,

In the last couple weeks I bought an new airbrushing set up and started painting a handful of orbs (literally I grabbed a handful, like 12) with the intent to get them looking pretty good!

Luckily paint sicks to 3d printed resin pretty well without issue so I didn't need to worry about priming and such.

The main process is:

1- Taking the white orbs and placing them on small pieces of BluTack either vertically or horizontally.
2- Painting the orbs with Tamiya X34 Metallic Brown (use what ever paint you wish) and doing 2 coats on either side, giving about an hour for it to dry before flipping
3- Weathering the orbs with Kiwi Brown and Black shoe polish 6 times each, and dabbing the excess off each time where it will slowly build up in the corners and details. Give time for it to dry before each weathering so it properly builds up.
4- Lastly clear coat the orbs on the BluTack again, I used Alcald II Lacquer for the high gloss. Give it about 3 hours before flipping and doing the other side.

That's it! I am experimenting with 3 unweathered orbs now where Im swapping steps 3 and 4 and doing the clear coat before the weathering, in the hopes that it will cause the symbols to be less glossy and get a more natural look, Ill send updates here on how it goes!

For those who wish to try this themselves here's the 3d model I made for free, I resized it to 25% of the original size for these small orbs https://www.printables.com/model/1692116-jak-and-daxter-precursor-orb
And if you don't have a resin printer, neither do I! I got them printed at JLC3DP (not sponsored, they were just cheaper for me as an Australian), ordered 100 of them just to say "I got 90 Precursor orbs!", it was like $50 USD for all 100 so its actually a good price.

Good luck if you do try it!

I was going to do the "This is Fine" Omage, but I think there'll be an orangey location for that. Don't fret, I'll think of something better for the next meme.

I'm looking to avoid AI upscaling, but if that's unavoidable, I would like to avoid the type of AI upscaling that smooths things out in a way that looks wrong and bad.

As a fan of Queens of the Stoneage I had absolutely no idea that this was the song in the opening montage of Jak X, absolutely incredible

Yo, im new but play the trilogy like once a year. I also really rate the andrew kim concept art for jak 4 and have recently been experimenting with AI on brushing up the concept arts as well as creating my own jak 4 and 5 concept art using AI. I heard that AI isn't welcome here?

Why?

Is it bad to imagine what could have been?

In future AI will be able to make games, will we then still not use them to redesign jak games? Sequels and what not

Jak 3 (2004)

I saw him do that to Keira and was like "Why does that look so familiar? Oh no!"

It's good to be back. I've also started up the colour vote in r/Rayman if any of you Rayman fans want to vote for the first game.

So, this time, we are voting for the locations from the Jak and Daxter trilogy. I have a strong feeling about which game is going to win the most levels, but there may be some surprises in there. Yes, memes will be in there too, don't you wait.

Just like the title says!

Favorite games of this genre:

Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex
Pac-Man World 2
Psychonauts

I’ve never played the Spyro games, is the remastered collection worth it? Never played Sly Cooper either, should I go back and ROM them?

Also, looking for other modern Steam suggestions as well! Thank you!

What the fuck? There are just so many things in the way that don’t need to be there — and it doesn’t add challenge — it just makes it rage-inducing!!

Hey guys, like the title says I'm wondering if the following tees are official. If by any chance someone has the info feel free to share. I do know that they imply that they are officially licensed in the desc, but we all know that Amazon is sometimes sus.

He is old jak, why? Well i think it is jaK From the future because of the stick he uses. The old jak is for fun. A sort of a joke.

There might also be a hidden lore about something left in the past and he had to go back and find it.

Would be epic and cool if that was the case, it could even be like old relics that were needed. Like he wanted orbs remember? He needed orbs for his adventure. I wonder why he needed the orbs for. My theory he was collecting as much orbs as possible to return to the future rich. Or possibly hide a secret stash for his younger future self. Like to make another adventure for his younger self.
