Site-02 Transmissions #8 | Community Showcase
Hello everyone!
It has been a while since our last showcase. 14.0 has gone public with all of your steps finally echoing through the vast hallways of our new Heavy Containment Zone, and we’ve had one of our most successful plush drops to date. This and much more is all thanks to your support!
Many memorable occurrences have taken place ever since, including cherished moments that would not be the same without all of you. With the New Year, we have plenty more planned for all of you! We hope to share the delight we have found within all of these community creations, and much more.

CHAOSSSSS Rainforest, by Zaring
Here we have a captivating depiction of a Chaos Insurgent in the cold night rain, with remarkable detail to equipment.
We can only wonder what led them to the seeming respite of this thicketed arboreal scene.
they made a little chaos!, by Grongo
Thank you for pointing it out like that with this amazing drawing of a Chaos Insurgent holding a comfortable and cuddly Chaos Insurgency Plushie!

This animation by Angel is a glance at their ongoing SCP:SL short film project. The intro beautifully displays a group of Mobile Task Force operatives on their way to Site-02, with great immersion and very lively scenes.

Propaganda posters always provide an interesting perspective into the foundation, and this one does it so well!
Enjoy us! We are the Chaos Insurgency, by Scouter
This piece by Scouter shows us their imagination of a Chaos Insurgency poster, some of the Foundation’s well-kept secrets already within their grasp.
[h2]Project Highlight - SCP:SL Blender Ports[/h2]
In regards to the creation of community content, particularly in spaces like animation and 3D art, there are several examples of collective effort where people provide resources for one another, fostering mutual aid and support.
A particular example of such an occasion is the ongoing project “SCP: SL Blender Ports”, led and directed by Seernix.
Since May 2023, they have been pursuing an active effort of porting the content found within Foundation Site-02 into Blender. This project has become an enabling force for Blender users and 3D artists to interact with the various elements and aspects of SCP: SL gameplay, visuals, and aesthetics.
As of today, the many overhauls, reworks, and additions involved with Version 14.0 have brought a plethora of new variables to this endeavour. New models, items, mechanics, and interactions which provide new challenges, approaches,acts of ingenuity, and creative problem-solving as the ports update alongside the game.
Such detailing to new features and their application has materialized from various places, such as the integration of moving shaders in order to port the waterfall found within Site-02’s Acroamatic Abatement Section or that which pertains to the new experimental weapons.
“One of the arguably coolest things I was able to do with the ports is incorporating Bone Constraints. Basically, these allow a specific part of the rig to control other parts of the rig or limit a specific bone's rotation or position.”,
“The 3-X was the first one I had implemented this on and was how I originally had the idea. The 3-X's animations have a lot of parts that are controlled by other parts on the model. The front bit with the charging handle and the cooling joints come to mind first.
I actually had a lot of trouble with this as I had never done something like this before, and it ended up breaking a few times and I had to start from scratch.” - Seernix
As a project aiming to enable the community, a large portion of the effort is care and commitment to quality-of -life and simplicity for all of those who give the ports a try. One such recent accomplishment has been the addition of a simple way to update the states of elevator buttons!
“Overall, one of my favourite parts of the porting process is seeing everything come together. Often, I'll just stare at the in-progress project, watching the fans move or just staring at the lights.”
We want to express our appreciation to everybody involved in the commitment, passion, and effort in this project!
[h2]Conclusion[/h2]
The year 2024 had many milestones, memorable moments, and developments that we are happy to have accomplished. Now, with the new year, there is even more to come! It is always an honour getting to work with our community, you all make these kinds of posts possible.
And as always, see you in the dark.
