Designing a Management Rail and Wheatley FAQs

plis build potatOS

wrangling wheatly is HILARIOUS

So….. how much we talking about here?

you'll be hearing from me in a decade if i become rich c:

Get harryuk101 to get some personality core voices

tbh thousands of dollars for construction doesnt seem too expensive to make a business out of. like its a common joke that furries spend about that much on suit commisions and art, so i dont see it as unlikely that quite a few people would pay high amounts for a custom core

When you unplug Wheatley make him scream which gets cut off😈

You should make more of them like the one that’s based off the turret

I'm sure you probably trusted that that your wheel arrangement would hold him, but I believe you can hold more weight, a bigger one, hang something from him like clothes or whatever, if you were to add another one to the top and configure them something like a w

how much does it cost to make one please I have 80 cents please

I am suddenly very afraid of AI.

What ever happened to the pip boy 3000 you made

Make Samuel Hayden from doom eternal plz

12 volts? I wonder if there's a way to get it to as few as 1.1 volts for apocalyptic low power environments

image if you used the newest versions pieces to make a more accurate wheatley crab!

Vengo de ver el short de glados después de que me diera nostalgia y escuchara still alive, sus robots se mueven muy bien, es increíble

Wheatley could have won home assistants year of the voice contest. I believe they’ll be doing another……

Great project and thank you for sharing the files!!

now make GLaDOS but in the potato version :D

where is your house? no reason.

Would you reconsider the AI question now that openAI has released GPT-4o?

Make a turret

Cool I love but can you put Wheatley on glados like from portal 2 I'm a big fan I'm 10 i love your vids so please try connecting Wheatley to glados please

You should mack space core plees

The mechanical arm version of the management rail has an almost identical design to the arms of the panels, so if you ever decide to make either of those, knowing that might be a good time saver.

PLEASE SELL THEM IN KITS LIKE LEGOS 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

i actually have an idea to give wheatley more life without using the orginal voice actor's. You could hire someone like harry10k who does a good wheatley impression and get his permission

There are two different Wheatley voices. Obviously Stephen Merchant is in the released game. But there was an early preview where Richard Lord, an artist from Valve and a Brit spoke the lines. He's actually also the original modeller and rigger of Wheatley. When the game came out, lots of people were disappointed because of course they would be, because they already fell in love with Lord's performance. Works at Double Dagger now, i think.

A way to deal with differences in the rig is animation retargeting, and it is an active research field with some approaches. The only plausible way i know of for differences in fundamental rig design is through IK, you calculate from the animation where the final position of important endpoints is, normally say on a vaguely humanoid character that's done with say toe, wrist, pointing fingertip, you want to boil down the complex animation to as little data as possible, plus constraint guide angles, so say elbow position is not used directly but it is used in the solving process, do some transformation to bring your target points within the target rig movement range, and then calculate (solve) back to the joint positions that are needed to achieve that pose with your rig. Obviously IK is a whole can of worms in and of itself, since not every position has a valid solution, and not all solutions are temporally coherent, but it's a "solved" problem of sorts. And then probably filtering and fixup, so basically insert magic here. So for sure it's going to be a whole research endeavour with no 100% solid recipes.

make the space core please

What i rhink would he neat is face tracking, translated to ps3 controller inpults. It would take hella code but it would allow you to record voice lines ans facial animations at the same time. Voice line play, synced animation play

@Harry101UK would be a great choice for a personality core's voice, he makes great videos about cores. (He's also a Valve employee [or former, idk])

“Hello! This is the part where I kill you.”

add a camera on his eye (gotta be hidden too)

p-body and atlas build when?

Re: animations. I'm sure you can animate him at, say, half speed and then sync it up with a voice line with a 2x speed recording of that animation. It might be really time consuming to go through his animations and take notes on what each bit is doing at whatever frame, but it is still definitely possible and feasible, at least for video where you can edit things to match up better

You should sell cad design classes/tutorials, giving design tips, ideas and how you came up with the design decisions you did over time.

Please build a working turret next 🙏

next up: building a one-to-one building of aperature labs in my backyard

You made this with Onshape?

If I had the money, I would happily buy a Cheaper made version of Wheatley, like I don't want something that's exactly like that, I would pay for one that uses lesser parts, weighs less and doesn't look as accurate, I want a dollar store version of Wheatley, a straight up Bootleg Ugly Barbie Wheatley, I will pay for that.

Is he a moron built to make GLaDOS an idiot?

I seriously think you should work on making it AI-Powered.

Building a working GLaDOS and Wheatley are great. But...I'd really like to see the robotic actuators that control the wall panels come to life.

PLEASE ADD AI

The for sale making me laugh because you say i am priceless
