| 8s | welcome fellow science lovers |
| 12s | i am dr |
| 16s | sheila |
| 17s | show land yeah |
| 20s | of |
| 21s | omnipractical technologies |
| 24s | and this |
| 25s | is ominot practical training video |
| 28s | number one yeah |
| 31s | yeah |
| 32s | yeah we're doing it |
| 35s | okay in this division |
| 37s | we are devoted to learning more about |
| 41s | insects |
| 42s | how they interact with each other |
| 46s | their environment |
| 48s | and |
| 49s | intruders to that environment |
| 52s | on a daily basis |
| 54s | we will be studying insects and their |
| 56s | environments thoroughly and discovering |
| 59s | what that means |
| 61s | for our test subjects as we go about the |
| 64s | daily life |
| 66s | the first specimen |
| 67s | we want to take a look at is brand new |
| 72s | to the research zone |
| 75s | [Music] |
| 76s | we interviewed various |
| 79s | and |
| 80s | animalia |
| 82s | arthropoda |
| 85s | insecta polyneia patera |
| 89s | i have to sing it it helps me |
| 91s | dictate |
| 93s | dictiopateron |
| 95s | bladdadia |
| 97s | isopadera |
| 98s | experts |
| 100s | to help explain what to expect |
| 103s | from this fantastic creature |
| 108s | oh oh yeah |
| 110s | termites |
| 113s | [Music] |
| 121s | so the termite is one of our new |
| 122s | creatures that we've been working on |
| 124s | the termite is |
| 127s | one of the creatures that inhabits the |
| 130s | upper yard ah the termite |
| 135s | why would we put that |
| 137s | in grounded introducing new content is |
| 140s | kind of like its own puzzle game because |
| 142s | you just got to figure out where it goes |
| 144s | what it does |
| 146s | how much to give the player |
| 148s | termites |
| 149s | much like larva are just really horrible |
| 151s | to look at |
| 152s | like they're kind of |
| 154s | pale and pasty and shiny and that's just |
| 158s | the worst |
| 159s | uh so |
| 160s | you know |
| 161s | again the more we can get |
| 163s | of things that are terrible the better |
| 167s | you might be thinking to yourself |
| 170s | termites are pretty similar to ants |
| 173s | aren't they |
| 174s | well |
| 175s | aren't they |
| 177s | termites are very similar to ants in a |
| 179s | lot of ways but they are a little more |
| 180s | threatening than your typical ant and we |
| 183s | thought it was a good progression |
| 185s | between the the red ants and the black |
| 188s | ants and now you have these termites |
| 189s | that are in the upper yard uh we're |
| 192s | looking for like another ant type that's |
| 194s | a little bit stronger for the tier three |
| 197s | and termites kind of fill that goal as |
| 200s | well as giving us a bunch of other |
| 201s | opportunities you know like termites are |
| 203s | known for eating through wood so their |
| 205s | pincers must be really strong so we can |
| 207s | use that as like you know the main |
| 208s | ingredient for a tier three axe and uh |
| 210s | they create this interesting idea of |
| 213s | tunneling through wood which is an |
| 215s | environment we don't have yet when |
| 217s | people think of insects a lot of times |
| 220s | they'll think of insect swarms and so |
| 222s | having another like hive creature that |
| 224s | that works together |
| 227s | and bands together um |
| 229s | and |
| 230s | will end up fighting you like as a large |
| 232s | group and it'll call if it's friends |
| 234s | over and they'll come and fight you as |
| 235s | well i think that's a great thing to add |
| 237s | to the game and it's another thing that |
| 238s | we were looking for you know as we |
| 241s | progress in the game and go to the the |
| 243s | sort of |
| 244s | uh |
| 245s | later stage more dangerous sections of |
| 248s | the yard we have a lot of cool ideas |
| 250s | where we could put termites and one of |
| 252s | those areas was just um you know what if |
| 256s | uh wendell was chopping a bunch of logs |
| 259s | um and stored a bunch of firewood in his |
| 261s | yard that's something that a lot of |
| 263s | people do have a big pile of firewood |
| 265s | the creature that makes most sense to be |
| 267s | in that kind of environment i think it's |
| 269s | a termite since they love chewing |
| 270s | through wood and stuff so |
| 272s | we wanted a creature that fit that |
| 274s | environment and that's what we came up |
| 276s | with we all kind of have ideas on what a |
| 278s | termite den might look like |
| 280s | and they look pretty wild and getting |
| 282s | that fidelity of how the the wood looks |
| 285s | and how the chewed wood looks um |
| 288s | you know that that is a challenge for us |
| 290s | we knew that it would make a great |
| 292s | dungeon experience if we had |
| 295s | termites that burrowed into the wood and |
| 297s | burrowed into the shed somehow you know |
| 299s | one of the goals as i said um was to |
| 302s | create a creature |
| 304s | that used existing rig |
| 306s | that we could do retargeting um and one |
| 308s | of the challenges was trying to figure |
| 310s | that out |
| 311s | so zack did the |
| 313s | heavy lifting on that and figured out |
| 315s | how to you know morph the ant rig into |
| 318s | the termite |
| 320s | oh |
| 320s | you want to know what animation |
| 322s | retargeting is don't you |
| 325s | damn it i'm a scientist |
| 327s | not an animator |
| 330s | but in because i'm perfect |
| 332s | it's probably something to do with |
| 334s | taking the skeleton of the aculetta |
| 337s | pharmacodia what is with these words |
| 341s | and making it work instead as a bladdo |
| 344s | dia isopatera |
| 349s | they want to take the ant skeleton |
| 352s | change it enough |
| 354s | to become a termite and make it |
| 357s | move correctly |
| 359s | we basically modified the ant rig |
| 361s | the biggest thing we changed was the leg |
| 364s | proportions and shape so |
| 366s | that we were able to transfer animations |
| 368s | over but so a lot of them looked messed |
| 370s | up so i had to go in and tweak a lot of |
| 372s | stuff as well but um the worker has like |
| 374s | this goo spew attack uh that's what |
| 376s | we're calling goose view at least |
| 377s | in-house |
| 378s | um where it just kind of shoots this uh |
| 381s | goo it has inside it um this is a real |
| 384s | thing by the way i think uh we did |
| 385s | research on that but |
| 387s | it does shoot this goo and i just kind |
| 389s | of made it look like it's just kind of |
| 392s | like hocking it up and just like |
| 394s | shooting it spinning it out at you which |
| 396s | is kind of a fun |
| 398s | little thing i did |
| 400s | well i mentioned that it's like you know |
| 401s | familiar in |
| 403s | an ant like but hopefully |
| 405s | with what we've done it feels pretty |
| 407s | unique anyway um you know our goal there |
| 410s | is to kind of wrap the familiarity with |
| 413s | kind of this new exciting experience so |
| 415s | hopefully that comes through |
| 418s | one thing to ponder about |
| 421s | with the termites is |
| 422s | how much wood could a termite |
| 425s | chuck if a termite can chuck wood which |
| 428s | they can |
| 429s | which means |
| 431s | how big will their den be |
| 435s | [Music] |
| 440s | and there you have it |
| 442s | a look at the termite |
| 445s | in a way like you've never seen before |
| 448s | get up and close with them and see how |
| 451s | they live |
| 453s | how they survive |
| 455s | and |
| 456s | what could be made from them |
| 460s | we hope you enjoyed ominot practical |
| 463s | training video number one |
| 465s | be sure to watch more of this series as |
| 468s | we learn about new species |
| 470s | and |
| 471s | the environments they inhabit in future |
| 474s | volumes |
| 475s | and do remember to |
| 478s | be kind and please |
| 480s | rewind |
| 482s | for the next viewer |
| 487s | hey that's me waving goodbye |
| 490s | bye |
| 493s | [Music] |
| 496s | [Applause] |
| 496s | [Music] |
| 500s | i'm recording i'm just gonna |
| 502s | you know put more dry ice in here |
| 505s | yes keep doing it |
| 508s | video producer |
| 510s | [Laughter] |
| 512s | you're lucky you got this job you know |
| 515s | they had asked me |
| 516s | but i said |
| 518s | damn it people |
| 520s | i'm not a producer |
| 522s | i'm a puppet |
