How to make textures visible only when looking through a certain object?
TL; DR: How to make a similar thing as showed in attached images in unity? Are there any guides or tutorials to themes like these? First image is edited scene I made in unity that portrays my concept in 3d space and the second image is simplified miniature of how I imagine it working in the unity itself. I feel like I remember similar things in games but can’t clearly recall in which ones. Is it too ambitious for a newcomer?
Hello, I’m the newest newbie in unity as possible and only use it for several days and the only thing I did was goofing around and I made working movement controls using visual scripting (code is hard). I had an idea for my simple game that would stand out by it’s visuals for a very long time and thought that if I can imagine how it works I’ll be able to make it. When I finally bought new pc I spent a couple of days talking back and forth with ai and probably wasted more energy on it than a small village in england in a month hoping that it will explain to me how to turn my vision into something real and that I will be able to learn from it. The ai is fucking stupid and it never ever will understand at what point it starts to say random bullshit I don’t need so I abandoned this idea after the second try that led to the same result. Again I thought that it will be easy because if I can imagine how it can theoretically work then I can make it, but it’s just as hard as saying hello in silbo gomero because you don’t fucking know how to say hello in silbo gomero and let’s imagine you have to know how to say hello in silbo gomero but you don’t even know that such language exists, tf I’m supposed to do. Having a vision and direction isn’t enough if I’m stupid and don’t want to learn.
So the question, how I can make the thing I visualized on the attached images? Is it possible to make a certain area on the screen be like a 2d mask in photoshop so you can see different visuals behind it, in my case it’s textures? My assumptions on how to make it is:
A - Each object I want to have such effect has another see-through 3d object attached on it, probably quad or sphere, and somehow these shapes should work like a window or glass by some shader tinkery I don’t understand or maybe it can work like how portals in the Portal videogames do by having a camera attached to the portal and showing flat image on the other portal but in my case there’s only one “portal” and it’ll be quite different ig.
B - Maybe it can be a 3d cylinder attached to objects that goes infinitely long (or for some more reasonable distance) rotates and changes size to match the perspective and angle it perceived from by the player's camera and makes textures visible inside of it or at specific coordinates. But I’m not sure about the infinitely long tube part and how it’ll be able to change skybox from white to blue, or maybe it can be something combined between A and B. Maybe instead there could be two copies of each object, like a textureless wall having a textured version inside of it (just as deep as there is no visual difference and the models don't glitch out by being at the same coordinates) so the cylinder makes holes in such textureless objects showing the textured model inside of it. As much there is variants to make it I won't be able to do any of them lol.
Maybe there’s some more specified forum or server where people with experience can be teachers for noobs with zero experience but I’m not sure. My only hope in realizing my vision rn is if I will ever become a successful person and will be an art director and it won’t be my work but I won’t be able to grow to such heights ever in my life so my only way is doing it by myself. I probably spent more time doing pointless things like drawing all of these images and procrastinated. It feels like this question is too specific and not-beginner to be asking it here. Sorry for long and unnecessarily descriptive post (i thought of adding headings for paragraphs but that would be stupid). btw this post is written fully by me and not ai, I just thought it will be cool to write pretty for once.
locked to usa servers
i live in asia, my account location is set in asia, but for some reason i log exclusively on usa servers in every game. i tried to log on servers sorted by best latency - i get into 200+ us server, i try to use browser btr extension and log to japanese servers - i load into 200+ us server, i try to load from my second account that's set in asia too - i still get loaded in us server ??? are there even any servers that aren't from america?? i tried to contact roblox support and they said that i need to check my firewall which i did and made sure that roblox is allowed through it, and that it's maybe a peoblem with my ip even though my is showing my exact location. using btr it shows japanese servers as the ones with the best latency but i still end up in usa, and one time i got in netherlands server. its unpleasant to play anything at all especially when its fast paced. i would attach a video of how bad it is at day (seems that i get somewhat more decent ping at night). idk if it considered a bug or just a question.
what's about crysis 2 remastered?
everything i know about crysis 1 remastered is that it's bad, not really optimized for modern pcs (just as original crysis), and made based on the console version and that probably makes it worse in detail quality.
crysis 3 seems like a slight polish with better optimisation and fixes for modern systems, but idk if it's really better than original because it already had beautiful image.
but i dont really know anything about crysis 2 remastered, is it worse? better? just on on the same level? looking at comparisons i like the original more and remaster looks worse visually, except the high res textures probably. does it worth trying?
(im on pc)
my first fl project (never touched music)
https://youtu.be/IrljAiK8I0k?si=a374I0mVitvLTVGU
**you can skip first 5 minutes because they're very high volume and may be unpleasant to your ears and are just bullshit sounds.**
i made this 28 minute audio that i do not dare to call a song or music completely by myself in fl studio mobile without ai or any tutorials and had so much fun with it. i dont have anyone to share it with so i would love to see any reaction or feedback if someone will waste 28 minutes of their life on this crap. it gets better the closer it to the end ig.
say cheese

Killzone: Mercenary screenshots
wanted to post some screenshots after seeing a couple of posts about this killzone entry. completed it year ago and after going through my screenshots it looks gorgeous and i want to replay it. many people want new killzone game but my personal preference is mercenary 2, with it's majestic style, design and gameplay, even though it will never ever happen under any circumstances. it doesn't matter how much polygons there are on screen when they create such beautiful image. the weapons were all interesting to play with and stealth was very nice, especially replaying chapters with contracts. would take single mercenary over fifty shadow falls. (language in screenshots is russian)
is nfs mw 2012 that much of a burnout game?
i never played played a single burnout game and my favourite need for speed game is most wanted 2012. this may sound stupid and absurd to fans of both seriess but genuinely wonder will burnout paradise give somewhat similar experience because most wanted 2012 was shitty but at the same time unique, at least in the nfs series, and if people say that its bad nfs game and lacking burniut game then will paradise be better?
some of the most beautiful landscapes I've seen in games
taking screenshots was a better reason to explore the map than finding collectibles tbh. i'm honestly flabbergasted how this series is getting a third game, maybe it's just not for me, game is very easy and there's almost no challenge except keeping yourself invested in it's gameplay and story (story is pretty decent but it's just pretty decent, almost on the same level as killzone: shadow fall).
did i missed out on Nil?
I just completed last bandit camp and after a couple of minutes found random quest on my map and unexpectedly saw Nil, a character I haven't seen since the first bandit camp i did. first time i saw him i declined his help because i thought it was kind of a challenge and wanted to do it myself but then he's gone for the entire game and when i declined his duel nothing happened, i couldn't even talk to him again and accept it. he was talking about killing so much (even though i interacted with him only two times) and i actually never saw him killing anyone, only thing that i remember of him is his weirdly the most noncombat-looking outfit possible. being curious about it i searched online and see people saying how interesting of a character he is. did i genuinely missed good part of the game by not having his help or will he somehow make more impact on the story in the second game?
HOLTOW BATTLE PASS CONFIRMED!!!1!1!1
I'm far from being og of this game or good but I love Holtow because H in it stands for Heavy. It's unacceptable that we got alfa acta special pass before holtow! I made some research and it seems like Holtow is season's sponsor every fourth season, so it means that it'll be sponsor of the season 12!!!. I was so disappointed that Holtow didn't get another 40 pages in this season (not even 20) so I HOPE that embark will CORRECT their mistakes so I can spend my multibucks (i didn't paid a single penny into this game) to GET MY HOLTOW COSMETICS. Also I HOPE they will fix chuck's leveling up time so I can have my HOLTOW THEMED CHUCK by the end of the season and not by the end of the humanity when our sun will explode (should've gotten sun insurance *wink*).
did something happened to the asian servers?
I haven't played the game for a month and also got new internet provider with the same connection characteristics as i had on the previous one but cheaper. i got back in the game right after the new season came out but there's always ping indicators even though i played through the previous season not seeing them even once. so is my new provider the reason i get straight yellow and red indicators on asia? even europe is better surprisingly. my friends and some random people i encountered said that there are connection problems so maybe its not just me. i tried lan and wifi and there's no visible improvement. last season was going smooth as butter with no lag or anything. i get a couple of kills and almost 10 deaths every match but that's mainly just a skill issue on my side and I don't think better connection will fix it.
amount of joy and stupidity i feel while playing melee
was scrolling through hundreds of videoclips i make every second and collected the funniest ones, they're all were made in two weeks (i was too bored to check the million of other clips i got in five months). i seriously need to stop smashing screenshot button everytime something slightly funny happens. sorry for lame editing.
Scott's the Woz video about vita slim
if anyone finds it interesting
sorry... i can't reach the finals...
waited 5 minutes for this match. I'm forever stuck in bronze 1 in eternal circle of dying and losing rank, winning one time and then losing again and again. discord barely helped me with finding friends for casual eu games but finding any team for asian ranked is impossible. I made a glance at lfg server and everyone here is searching for people that can go higher than diamond, I made it only to silver 4 in the previous season. guess I'll never be able to see gold skin in my hands and should just continue playing other modes atp. if not for the spin wheel event I would've honestly just waited a week for the next alfa acta stage to have any motivation in playing this game. I also heard that very often teams with lower rank get helped by higher ones so they don't have to fight strong team in the next rounds or smth like that but every game my teams get our faces slammed into the ground by lights with wings (the most strange cosmetic item that everyone uses???) and other less rememberable contestants.
also I did the double jeopardy last second because we were already losing the entire game, at least enemy will get more mone and maybe more xp for it. but there are games sometimes when very good enemies make double jeopardy as fast as they can and most of the time they win, they're doing it because they know they will win anyway.
I don't get notification about people starting chats with me
(Mobile Discord app for android) I look for teammates in discord channels and almost every time I end up launching the app several days after I wrote the message seeing a button with letter icon on it on the left of a Search button with a couple of unread chats in it. I get notifications when people message me or when I'm pinged and also get them daily from a bot I use. I checked notifications settings and haven't found anything that would help it because all notifications switches are turned on.
dagger skin idea
the basic attack is just hitting with the bubble-making stick and the secondary attack is inhaling air to blow a bubble or sereval bubbles out. if you hold the charge for long enough you can hear the character moaning or coughing and on inspect it just blows out bubbles. this is very unique and cool idea that sounds great but it seems too complicated. I can see this skin being on the level of coolness with the p90 toaster and after I saw the finals video about creating the repeater skin for the ultimate bp I think that devs are pretty enthusiastic to really take this idea more further. also, is there like any channel in the discord for skin ideas or something? would be cool if all players could post their ideas and people would vote for it.
