May 2023 Poll (Patreon)

Good morning everyone, I wish you all a good start into the new week! Since the last poll covered March and April, it is time to do a new poll.

The top three results from there were "Toaster Collectors", "More Space Soldiers Options" and "Chain Generator/Rope Generator". I now included all the other options in this poll, sorted from most votes to least. I also removed the "Space Soldiers Arms library without weapons", since that was also done.

I also had the option "Knights" in my list. Unfortunately, I can only have 25 options here (and we had 26 in total), so I removed "Knights", since they are soo big that customizing and printing them as one does not make sense - it's much better to print them in parts and then glue them together.

Again, there are some bigger projects that I want to explain to you here:

- Colour Scheme Tool: A tool where you can select the colours of a space soldier's different  parts, to see how it would look like. Depending on your input, I could  make this an "open tool" where you could just throw in a library of stl files and you can give every stl file another colour.

- Tank Tracks Generator: Specify the length, height and some other sizes to get a full tank track, consisting of chain elements of your choice (stl file), wheels of your choice (stl file) and probably also some accessories.

- 3D files organisation tool: Specify your folder of 3D models. The tool will automatically create thumbnails for all of them and allow you to label them, so you can search for them. This alone wouldn't be that much of a benefit, but the plan would be to have a standardized way of rendering the stl files, so the tool can use AI to classify and label them automatically. This would require a quite big effort to get enough training data, but I think we could do that!

- Weapon Customizer: Add small elements from images to weapons (e.g. a Fleur-de-Lys to a rifle or something).

If you want to have anything that is not on this list, throw it in the comments and (if that seems remotely possible and I have no moral doubts) I will add it on the list for the next poll.

The first part of the results from this poll might probably come on May 5th. Until then, this is our plan:

April 7: NO Easter Break - Surprise Library
April 14: A 2-player starter set for Grimdark Future
April 21: Surprise Library
April 28: Tube generator in the customizer
