>>43153275I just created a fart that smells like a pony, AMA
Sold my third lifesized plushie for 1100+ shipping yesterday, getting started on another to probably sell at neighcon.
>>43153368https://u.pone.rs/viirzweh.mp4 final time lapse for this plush, cringe song but its all at had at this length..
>>43153368this is awesome. i will be at neighcon and i really want to come home with a lifesized dash but i don't think they've shown their vendors yet
>>43153368... Oh fuck noNO
>>43153348What did you eat to achieve that?
>>43153348that's wonderful, Anon, i'm so proud of you>AMAoh. how nicecan I rape you?
>>43153733Im not ready to make a dashie yet, her mane has a lot of colors!!>>43153850Muh oh cee
fuck I want to make a big plush but i don't have a big enough embroidery machine I really wish there was a place that you can use there embroidery machine

THE BGM FILES HAVE RELEASEDhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xjf7Ve9BQMhttps://u.pone.rs/ryhdojno.rar500+ audio files of random loops, ditties and noodling for use in music production. I've been hoarding this shit for way too long and am probably never gonna finish any of it so here.
>>43154863>THE BGM FILES HAVE RELEASEDDid you really have to?
>>43154863Thats amazing. What software do I need to actually open and play around with them? Im not music producer but was curious to see what's inside.
>>43154970Depends how much you want to do with them. If you just want to hear, then any program that can decompress a .rar file, (WinRAR, 7Zip, etc) and a program that can play .wav files, which you should already have if you're using any OS from the past 20 years.If you want to do more, like actual arranging or playing multiple things at once, you'll need a DAW or at least a basic audio editor, and that's more of a rabbit hole.
Where canvas?
what about ideafagging? cuz I was thinking I'd put some ideas out there and maybe, just maybe, someone will pick them up, or at least discuss them.starting off with the idea of a Ponyverse that leans towards being entertainment for the whole family more so than Lauren Faust intended - one that's not just for girls with maybe boys having interest and the parents not having to cringe while watching the show with their kids, but actually meant for audiences of all ages and both genders.What I mean by this is that we take MLP:FiM and come up with ideas where the male characters are not portrayed as inferior to the females and actually get some roles that are equal in importance to the female characters.Take for example the royal guard - I, for one, would've liked to see the royal guard be not pathetic. I'd also like to see male characters tag along with the mane six on adventures, giving a vibe that balances the girlboss feminism with positive masculinity, where the male characters exhibit virtues such as chivalry and bravery in the face of unfavorable odds as the females work their magic. femininity and masculinity working together, rather than the latter being unrealistically pathetic and the former being unrealistically overpowered. Make the whole gender balance more believable.Some more specific examples I was thinking of are:> Shining Armor and/or Sun Burst and/or other male characters being summoned by the magic map alongside an equal number of female characters.> Celestia and Luna's cancelled brother, Cosmos, being introduced, with his personality being the outdoor adventuring type, which would explain why he's rarely ever seen within, or even near, the Canterlot castle (let alone Canterlot city). He can have a few niche appearances, such as one episode where he teams up with Daring Do to retrieve a particularly mysterious magical artifact found within ancient ruins, and having a chance to share his knowledge of arcane secrets.> Sunburst's character being developed as the royal curator of secrets, lending his knowledge whenever the mane six are on an adventure involving magical artifacts in remote locations.> Male alicorns. IMO Shining Armor and Sun Burst are prime candidates, and obviously Prince Cosmos as well as Big Mac because reasons. Do you guys think there's any potential value to a more gender-balanced MLP? go ahead and suggest any ideas you might have for how MLP:FiM could've portrayed male characters better and in a way that makes them equal in importance to the female characters.
>>43154008hay

>>43155693Sure I think the show/setting could some more gender balance and just more elaboration on the males in general, because why not? And your ideas are pretty good too. But also, you're focusing on that way more than the show did. The virtues of the characters in the show aren't gender stereotypes and so it doesn't really call for a 'rebalance' in the first place. If you really did, you'd probably have to change the existing characters a lot, e.g. Rainbow is more of a traditionally masculine personality and she couldn't realistically display the feminine element of chaste loyalty/faith without a serious character arc (which could be great...)
>>43154863>Look in files>Grape Ape.cafWhat did he mean by this?
>set up virtualbox (since im running off of linux mint and don't want to dick around with wine)>set up adobe animate cc 2015>make a random test animation>adobe animate breaks itself, and can't open my project file on reinstallits over, it was only a test animation to see how good I could get my easing and timing but now I'm sad :(
>>43155990
>>43156158Just use Krita bro
>>43156028her character arc involves the wonderbolts, which do have at least one male member... but I get what you're saying.there ARE other female characters tho, and they sure could use some love... for example, Rarity aspired to find the stallion of her dreams in the first season - I never understood why she gave up on that after trying with just ONE jackass. I think she should've tried again and again until she found the one.And according to leaks ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-cdUNHbZu8&t=4846s ), Tara Strong thought that her character should have a boyfriend & husband.
>>43153275I managed to get out a game Marecon gamejam and ever since then I've been slowly working on it, refining ideas, trying to come up with an interesting story, gameplay loop etc. I wrote down every thought I had however incoherent and am now attempting to sort through everything I gathered, which idea sounds fun which does not, gathering references and all the boring gamedev document writing that puts people to sleep.I've got a general idea of what I want it to be and look, threw away most of the assets and whatnot that were used for gamejam as they were just placeholders anyway and don't fit the new vision. The foundations and most of the important systems at least are already done and just need refining and expansion of features that will come up as the game grows. Most pony games (as far as i've seen) are quite simple game's that you sit down, might play for an an hour or two and never again. I don't mean it in a derogatory way, as they're able to focus on one thing and do it well. They don't need to do more than that. Fun is still to be had and you don't need to commit yourself to anything. Marequest is a perfect example, its quick and simple mare fun. I enjoyed it greatly.But I was hoping to create something more in-depth. I was always a big fanboy of isometric RPG's so something akin to Disco Elysium but obviously not as big in scale is what i'm aiming for but not setting anything in stone just yet. Still messing around with camera angles and movement modes etc so we will see...Anyway, that's enough rambling. My question would be- would anyone even be interested in an actual "full" indie pony game? A 6 hour story driven "your choices have impact" campaign type. What would you like to see from such a game? Am i a delusional faggot and should kms?
>>43157500>"full" indie pony gameA little bit, I had an idea to do a paper mario game but with ponies. I think it would work out pretty well, ponies look cute in paper.
>>43157500>would anyone even be interested in an actual "full" indie pony game? A 6 hour story driven "your choices have impact" campaign type.that sounds like an actual dream come true to me.>What would you like to see from such a game?is it set in the world of fim and using canon characters as its main cast, set in the world of fim but starring ocs, or set in an original pony world? most of what i have to say depends on the answer to this question.
>>43156795Doesn't work with flash puppets and doesn't support vectors. Anyway, I got my virtual machine properly set up with my drawing tablet now, and I made a rough. I just have to force disable windows 10 updates via registry tweaks (because guess what fucking OS decided to force update on reboot, fuck windows genuinely)obligatory vidrel
>>43158280I think thats a great idea. We need more pony games.>>43158541I'm no lawyer so can only guess from looking around what everyone else has been doing. While Fighting is Magic together with Button Mash Adventures was at the time, the perfect storm for a C&D due to their and the show's popularity at the time, I doubt hasbro would care about someone making a small "nobody gives a shit" game with their IP. Alas its still too risky and limiting for various reasons, so no cannon characters, and no mention of the world of FiM. Cutie Marks also seem to be suspiciously absent from most MLP games so I can only guess that its a part of it too. Plan for now is to use the same setting but a different world- The strange mix of Medieval-Victorian-Industrial Revolution Era architechture for Villages/Towns/Cities respectively with "Canterlot" being renamed to something like "Castamare" and so on. With other major landmarks tweaked to fit into whatever i come up with. TL;DR "Heavily FiM inspired original pony world starring OC's"

>>43159111are you planning on having real gameplay, or will it just be an interactive story?will the main conflict just be between characters, or will a high stakes adventure be involved?if the latter, will interpersonal conflict still play an important role, or will the story be more focused on that adventurous goal?how dark do you want it to get tonally?will you use any kind of sapient non-ponies, or are ponies going to be the only people?will the world only have female characters a la marequest/g3, or are are there also going to be males?

>>43158683Have u tried win10 ltsc?Also hows win on vm? Im thinking about switching to fedora and use windows on vm.
Ace-Step 1.5 XL just released, so I trained a LoRA on Soichet's performances and MLP songs.Generated a song based on the classic theme of Twilight going to die sad and alone since she's an alicorn.https://soundcloud.com/johnny-lunder/the-last-page-of-the-library
>>43163761I have not tried windows 10 LSTC, is that a corporate/enterprise version? Googling it, it looks better than ((home)) windows and omits most of the bloat/garbage bundled with it, though why would a ATM or whatever use it over a Linux OS? >how’s win on VM? I’m using a virtual box instance, and it works fine. I had adobe bug out with a “error code 16” when launching it from the portable executable, but it just fixed itself when I launched the exe from the installation files. Setting up my drawing tablet wasn’t too hard either, as much as niggers hate AI, it is useful for asking shit about documentation instead of spending 20 hours reading multiple documentation pages or sifting through jewtube videos (I have respect for jewtube tutorials by a singular autist before ~2016) If I get the chance (and I’m not too busy doing something else) I’d like to try adobe aftereffects and doing something horn magic stuff. I really do miss minimal UI when it comes to shit like editing software, nowadays it’s gay ((modern)) UI with rounded corners, ugly ass themes, and software bloat because it requires 50 gabillion animations and bing bing wahoo graphics. The only notable thing adobe has done since adobe animate 2015 cc was just introduce a camera layer (my CS6 camera script layer seems to be broken and stretches things to shit when it pans off scene). I still haven’t tried my JAnimation tools yet.
>>43163785Just upgrade, you dingus. I'm so tired of morons going "HURRDURR I DON'T WANT MUH UPDATES" when Windows 11 literally has insanely much better multimedia- and file handling performance.If you don't like the "HURRRDURR AI SLOP HURRRDURR", then... just disable it.It's not fucking rocket science.
>>43163785Why are you using virtualbox? Just have dual booting.
>>43163580
>>43160386All great questions that I'm glad you asked. Having only myself to bounce ideas off of can get tough. I'll try to answer them an "ideal scenario" way, not worrying about feature creep or the scope of the game just yet.>are you planning on having real gameplay, or will it just be an interactive story?Ideally the gameplay will fit in together with the story. The main gameplay loop will be about interpersonal relations and abusing them. So dialogue and what you choose to say will be the main bit- e.g you might need to ask a pony to do something dangerous for a sidequest/to progress, whatever. Will you leverage a friendship for help and risk something happening to them? Or go another way/solo/someone else that might ditch you the moment things go wrong.Supplementary gameplay I was thinking of would be environmental puzzles (Oddworld Abe's Oddysey was a good well of inspiration) and potentially some minigames. >will the main conflict just be between characters, or will a high stakes adventure be involved?Plan is to have relationships form and fall apart, rivalries form and NPC's betraying each other for their benefit with deadly results as the adventure goes on and tests the group. You might spend a good bit of time romancing a particular npc and someone jelaous might do something rash to you, or them. The adventure will be there to test how well you're managing your social circle and watch for others forming their own. And hopefully I have enough of an interesting idea for the story to make it work even if the player decides to go completely solo. >how dark do you want it to get tonally?Pretty dark. I want it to be depressing and grim- pull on the player's heartstrings a bit to encourage him to talk to the NPC's, stuff like that.>will you use any kind of sapient non-ponies, or are ponies going to be the only people?I feel like there's no reason I should limit it to ponies only, batponies, griffons, kirins etc are all fair game imo. Depending how much of a pain in the ass they will be to 3D model. Same deal with Stallions. Both genders will be present. >The cast?That is a tricky one. I know I want it to be a sizeable group with different types of personalities, ponies will die/abandon/beg to join the group depending on the situation. This I will only be able to pinpoint once I have the story I want to tell completely figured out.>if it's going to have multiple endings, are they just gonna be good/bad endings, or will they have more nuance?Once i figure out the exact story beats i will be able to make that decisions. In an ideal world there will be many depending on the people you bring with you and their status towards you.But again, all of that is implying I'm insane and skilled enough to do all of that by myself and no problems come up ever. The scope of it is already quite massive but I try not to let it scare me from trying anyway. I got all the time in the world, limiting factor will be my own sanity.
>>43163901too lazy to set it up, don't know if both OS's will be able to access my files properly, virtualbox is nice because windows is relatively sandboxed in its own instance, not forever installed to my drive where I have to spend a couple of hours making sure its properly wiped if I need the storage space. >43163792Huh? Are you okay anon?
Anyone wants to collab on making some type of yume nikki clone but with mares? You can contribute by just making sprites and sounds or even draw world on paper I could try to figure out how to add it. I am not sure if I will use Luna as a protagonist she seems to be OP in the dream world but she could appear saving you from nightmares that would be an interesting event to think about.

>>43165536Assets are 99% of a game. With Opus 4.6, you can vibe code any 2D game (I have 16 releases on Steam currently, all selling well).It's not a collab. It's a scam.
>>43164789>>43165536And would your contribution be? "Ideas"? "Script"? Because, not to be rude, your grammar is at the level of a toddler.And so are your "ideas". Luna saving you from nightmares? Oh yeah, that hasn't been done a billion times already.

I made a song recently that I liked but I want to make it with a song visualizer and minor text stuff like showing what the characters say in starfox style. What software would you fellas suggest for my visualizer idea?
Would anyone be interested in some sort of small /create/ event similar to gamejam?Kinda just something like you're given a theme, have a set amount of time to /create/ something based on it, and we all show it off in the thread and suchI think itd be a fun way to inspire some anons to create stuff and drive up a bit of activity in the thread
>>43174341Sounds fun. By /create/ do you mean drawings specifically?
>>43174348Not really. /create/ is specifically a place for anyone working on anything pony related so I think it should be anything goes as long as its pony related and something your working on. It'd be a fun contrast where instead of every anon showing off something in one specific way, its more about showing off the wide range of creative mediums we have in the thread. We're all here for pony after all, whether its a statue, a drawing, a poem, a song, a story, etc.
>>43174359I think something more specific would be better. That's one of the reasons why game jam is so successful imo. It casts its net over a specific medium. It would also benefit other projects like music creation if they could have their own event.
>>43168122has nothing to do with it, it's just a hikikomori thingearly 2000s game so it predates all of that shit
>>43173923Any reasonably featured video editor would probably be capable of that.
>>43174359Might be fun to have a "WIP Wednesday" kind of thing where you post about whatever you're working on even if it's not really in a presentable state. I've been working on stuff for my pony game non-stop since January, but it's all been enginedev internals, so I haven't had any new screenshots to post.
>>43175360I second that. Very much similar situation here.
>>43174341I guess I would if it means I actually have a reason to finish my animation instead of letting it collect dust. I just have to deal with the woes of SFM not properly adjusting font size with protontricks and wine on Linux so everything is microscopic. Adobe Animate seems stable thankfully. I wonder if there’s any pony animations that have mixed 3D + 2D together? I know there’s the guy who does the “2D pony IRL” videos which are kino, but that’s not really 3D + 2D animation.
>>43175541https://youtube.com/shorts/biJxl2po-Gc?si=G1bUyNsGYD6PCytbThis is the best example that i've come across. Quite the fascinating trick
Don’t die on me /create/!
>>43174554I think having a good enough theme. We might not all do the same thing, but I think having a specific prompt that everyone could show their own imagining of in their own way would be fun and be enough to rally people towards it>>43175360That’s also would be fun. Just a weekly think to show off what you’re in the middle of making

>>43176239>>43176164>>43175786>>43175694Working on something.

It's done. Took a LONG time to clean off the supports. I don't know how to optimize that part of the process.
>>43177772I love it! will you prime and paint it??
>>43175554>youtube shortsNo, that isn't something that answers my question, I meant more like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", or "DARE". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAOR6ib95kQ

>>43178267please keep us posted! also I want to hear more about your process
>>43177772Seems like supports are always a pain in the ass (at least for FDM, I've never tried resin).By the way, can you link that wallpaper?
>>43177772>>43178280isn't there a water soluble filament you can use with dual print heads?
>>43178287I think so, but you need dual print heads, which are not super common AFAIK
>>43178280>pain in the assat least my fingers are toughening up I guess, lol>>43178270ok! I will keep you updated. The process is finding a cute image I want to be real and that would sit on a desk or just a flat surface the model would have. Then the gacha rolls of a 3d AI program called Trellis 2 and then more gacha rolls to refine it with Ultrashape. Then import to blender and finetune it to a final STL 3d print ready model. Load it to the slicer program, load it on the SD, print it. 30 hours later you might get something if you get lucky.
>>43178287Yea I don't have that, yet...And oh ya the pape. It was in the thread a couple threads ago

>>43178678I don't know how a dress would look like on an Anon Filly. I'm planning to create a dress for my plush eventually.
>>43177263>>43177772Use tree supports like in picrel. They've gotten really optimized nowadays and are almost always the better choice for complex models like your.I also recommend buying a pair of tweezers to use for support removal. They're great since they allow you to precisely grip the support right where they connect to the model and easily snap it off.>>43178287>>43178291As for duel filament printing you don't need dual print heads since a lot of printers now support multi-material systems where they just purge old filament and then swap to the new one when doing color/material swaps. I'd probably recommend using a specialized support filament specifically on the contact layer over water soluble filament.Anon also looks to have an older elegoo printer based on the videos so while there may be an upgrade he could get to add multi-material, theres a good chance it would be around the same price to just buy a newer printer that comes with it by default.
>>43179175Ok, I forgot about tree supports, thanks for the tip and I just bought these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BKHB5J6Kfor none marring support removal. I was thinking a rubberized tip pair of tweezers would work but I don't think its strong enough. These supports are really really strong.
>>43179175ahhhh why doesn't it look like your's? whats the best settings for a pony model?
>>43179295nta, but maybe you need to adjust your support angle?I usually set mine to 45°, but that's conservative, you can go lower with modern printers.
>>43178296That was incredibly helpful thank you! I have been looking around at model gen ai, mainly for 40k/dnd/dioramas and such

>>43179380Damn, she is cute!Did you model her yourself?The topology is quite nice!
>>43179408>she cutethanks, I hope the model turns out nice too>model her yourself?yea I had AI help too>topologyhere's a none decimated screenshot, that was only done with a modifier to show how it looks at 15k triangles. The original has 1.4m
>>43179295That looks like cura slicer or a fork of it, right?I’d recommend trying out orcaslicer. It’s the big open source slicer that most print farms use so its print settings, like the one >>43179328 mentioned, are a lot more finely tuned for all sort printers in filament.Something definitely does not feel right about the supports you’re getting because those ones look like the tree supports from years ago when they were brand new and not tweaked well at all yet.I think a sliver change would do wonders for both your print quality and speed in general
>>43179443yea its elegoo's fork of cura. I will look into orcaslicer. Thanks, I kind of figured thats what I needed to do but I didnt know the best slicer, so thanks for that.
>>43179380I canceled the print, I am installing OrcaSlicer now. Those supports were to sus to let it play out if i have a better program.
>>43179463>>43179474Let me know if you need any help with it, but it honestly should be as simple as just choosing the preset for your printer type and filament
>>43179492It said in the slicer its gonna take 10 hours longer but I don't care this looks like it will actually work. I think we Gucci senpai. >*fingers crossed*
>>43179516That sounds about right. The one downside to tree support is they tend to take longer and these ones compared to the bad ones in your old slicer are actually branching instead of clumped together, which means they take even longer on top of that.If you don’t mind me asking, what printer do you have and what layer width are you printing it? 10 hours for supports on top of the initial print time seem really bloated since more printer easily hit 200 mm/s print speeds nowadays
>>43179426kekAt that density, that's not polygons anymore, it's a point of cloud!Awesome, let's see how the print turns out!Also, depending on the size of your prints, did you think about resin printer? They are the best for artsy projects and need of details imho.
>>43179565Yea, I have a GKtwo in storage.
>>43177772Looks great, all the best for when you decide to paint a finalized version. It's a pretty cute model.>>43179426>1.4m polygonsGood golly. She'll be worth it though. I can only imagine how long that takes to open in its original state through Blender.
>>43179426How does AI do modeling?
>>43179892Honestly modern hardware and software has gotten good enough that 1.4m polygons loads within seconds with even a half decent pc. I insanely overcompensate on my models because my use case for them has some really weird and specific demands, but even then I only really ever have any sort of trouble if I try and bool a model with 10m+.
>>43170116found these on my HDD, i forgot i made itnow, only fluttershy is left of mane6
There is also Linky! (shoeshine)

Dashie!She took three and a half month of daily work to make, and was made for SS a while ago. I just never got around to posting her till now. It's a polymer clay sculpture.https://u.pone.rs/susftcma.mp4
>>43180555Checked and noice looking Dashie. Whoever gets it will be very happy! Cheers!
>>43161139>>43161141>>43161143>>43170116>>43180348>>43180351Some real cuties!Was it just for fun or for a project?
I'm having trouble with my Orcaslicer print. There's webbing on the model from the hotend. And it's taking twice as long to print.
>>43180348Love seeing all these. You gonna make anymore after the m6? Would love to see a Trixbeam or some other background ponies.>>43180555Such a good SS gift, I still have no idea how you made her look so perfect. Crazy talented anon.
>>43181141Sorry, I can't help you, I use Prusaslicer and an old ass slow printer.webbing usually come from temperature too high, and/or not enough retraction.You may also be able to reduce it by activating "z hopping" (the nozzle will first go a bit higher, and then travel to it's destination).I would print a calibration object if you use a new slicer, at least to check that the parameters are correct.f it's only webbing, you may be able to remove it easily with an hot air gun.Good luck!
>>43181224I was in a hurry last night to get it started and didnt print a Benchy, considering it was the default setting its not that bad. The model itself looks better then the Cura slicer print. But it's not done so we will see.
>>43180483I love the story of the blanks Applebloom video to Monster
>>43180555A genuine marvel, what a fantastic gift for SS.
>>43181141What printer do you have and what filament, as well as filament brand, are you using? Also are you using the default setting and made sure to select your specific printer type and filament. I can poke around the cura default print settings for your printer if thats the case and see if anything off>>43181234Seems like either a moisture or a nozzle temp issue. When did you open the filament and when was the last time you dried it?
>>43181594brand new filament
>>43181623note that brand new doesn't necessarily mean dry
Here's another 3d print Orca slicer looks a lot better but I need to dial it in.
hello everyoneI love Rarity

>>43181234A benchy?I was thinking about a torture test.You can't see much beside obvious errors on a benchy.>>43182410Damn, top cute!I would print the tail separated, and turned 90° to remove most of the printing artifacts.
>>43186529>I would print the tail separated, and turned 90° to remove most of the printing artifacts.Oh that's an excellent idea. Especially since its kind of of a fail anyways because of the lines and the connection is flimsy and I can't remove the supports without breaking it. How would I attach the tail to the body after I print another? Some sort of epoxy resin or JB Weld?
>>43153275https://www.fimfiction.net/story/589841/battle-of-the-blacksI finished my first story in years last night and would like some feedback please.
>>43186548Cum.Na kidding.I think the best would be to make a hole and peg system, and either insert it in force or just a drop of superglue.Acetone sludge can work if you are working with ABS, but that's old fashioned.
>>431806434fun

>>43188998Sound good. I won't have any new pics to post, but I'm happy to yap about the state of my custom Python interpreter
And she's done. The first plush I've ever made and I got her done before NeighCon.She's not perfect, but I'm still happy with how she turned out.
>>43189213Sovl. What a cutie. She looks good for your first plush, cracking good job anon
>>43189213It's super cute. Raritychads keep winning.
Hard to see, but theres a pony (and emblem) here waiting to be created
>>43190014what kind of metal are you going to use?
>>43190014very excited
Made a Mylittlewaifu Trixie to test out my new embroidery machine. She came out pretty cute. The only problem was that the black in the eyes came out a bit iffy. I did a few tests beforehand with the tension and whatnot and couldn't figure out how to fix it, so I just left it.
>>43191101use a black fabric marker to fill in those white spots?
>>43191124>black fabric marker>>43191101something like this https://www.amazon.com/Sharpie-Permanent-Laundry-Marker-Black/dp/B00387BTJS/
>>43191124>>43191126Hmm, I know I only made this for myself, but that feels a little, unprofessional? If you know what I mean. I'll see if I have something like this around though.
It'll be bronze since thats all I really ever use, but I'd definitely like to play around with bismuth for RD or Celestias hair in the future
>>43191223How would you split-pour the hair to make it in a different metal, yet still have it be attached to the same sculpture?Would you perhaps make the mane and tail completely separately and weld them on in some way afterwards?
>>43191637Id pour them separately with a slots in the body and pegs in the mane/tail, similar to how people print resin sculptures in partsAs for connecting them, I'd likely just use an epoxy glue in the slots since you cant really weld bismuth
Goodnight /create/
Anchor for the first /create/ WIP Wednesday!Creation takes time and in between each finished project, theres a lot of work that goes into it all. Take this chance to share the WIP status of your current pony endeavor!Whether its photos of a half-finished item, screenshots of a developing game, a rough sketch for an upcoming drawing, an outline for a new story, just some text about your latest project, or even just a idea you have, its all welcome!We want to hear about what (You) have been creating!
>>43193339Can’t show pictures since I’m keeping it a bit hidden, but I just recently bought an air hammer and portaband which is making post processing way easier
>>43193339Not a pony but a project I am working on. >>>/diy/2987509
>>43193717>I just recently bought an air hammer and portabandOh you're the metal casting anon, I guess. I saw "post processing" and started thinking 3D prints, then had to wonder what the hell you're doing to your prints that requires a fucking bandsaw
>>43194002there's castable resin you can make into metal and then "need it" with a 3d printer, so it's not entirely wrong to think.
>>43193339Currently working on an interpreter for a subset of Python that I plan to use for scripting in my game engine. The goal is for it to be strictly sandboxed, deterministic (so I can run scripts on the client and server and get identical results), and portable (easy to compile to WASM so I can run it in the browser). I got function calls working last weekend, and now I'm adding global variables (mainly so that functions can call other functions). They actually mostly work at this point, except that the type inference pass that's used to optimize the bytecode doesn't know that it needs to rerun inference on functions that use a global when that global's type is updated. I'm about to go check what kind of slop the AI produced trying to fix this while I was at work today (nothing good, I suspect, since it looks to have died halfway through)

>>43180555checkedlooks amazing for being hand painted polymer clay, effort was well worth it
>>43182410if you can't get rid of the stringing something I do is take a heatgun to prints to vaporize the microplastics into tinier microplastics
>>43193717since I was the fag screaming at you for your misuse of a file I will tell you how to use filesYou file in ONE direction if it’s a single tooth (no hatching/crossing) on the file faceYou DO not use excessive pressure or else the file can break (they’re made of hardened but brittle steel) NEVER use a file without a handle that has a visible “tang” or protrusion on it. You will force too hard and puncture your hand. >but what do I use?as for alternatives compared to niggering files, I’d propose you get the sandblaster you were planning to make yourself, and if it’s a closed loop system that re-uses the particulate, try glass beads or metal beads. Other then that maybe sanding blocks/emery cloth for fine finishing, if you need a rapid removal file get a curved tooth bastard double cut file since the curved teeth don’t clog up as quickly on soft materials and you can quickly go back/forth with moderate pressure and take lots of material off quickly.
>>43195438thank you for saying this, I didn't mention it but I thought the same thing. Files are usually single-directional. It's not tough to get used to once you understand you're kinda doing nothing + damaging your tool when you use it wrong. Also get a wire brush to brush out your files if they clog up.
>>43195438I actually use a file the way I do because I watched some YT tests a long time back that showed that even with single tooth files, doing it back and forth filed very slightly quicker, but fucked up your file exponentially quicker>I’d propose you get the sandblaster you were planning to make yourselfI actually already have a sandblaster that I use with glass beads, but I just don't use it often since most of the time for small model gypsum based investment casting its just better and easier to use a jewelry tumbler and let it run while I do other stuff. I do still use it for my ceramic shell casts though.What I would like is a vapor blasting cabinet instead since that would probably fit my needs a lot better, but I think I'm going to going to build a pressure washing cabinet instead since my pressure washer is one of my most used toolsThat all being said I checked my files, and they do actually appear to be double tooth>>43195445>Also get a wire brush to brush out your files if they clog upHave plenty of wire brushes laying around, but didn't know about thisThanks for the tip

Since /ptg/ is down, I have a question.I’ve tried to get SFM’s font to scale nicely with wine and protontricks but neither do the trick even with font libraries or dpi scaling changes. Other than those two, I think the AIslop I was using recommended changing the dpi in the startup config but that might’ve just been a hallucination. Is my best bet just installing steam on my virtual box windows 10 install and using SFM there? I think I can partition enough space for it.
>>43196892Is the issue that you have a 2x monitor but the thing's rendering as if it was 1x, making the text unreadably small? If that's the case, I'd try setting the monitor to half resolution and maybe running the game in windowed mode. Any time I end up with a HiDPI laptop, I always run it at half resolution, since it's so much easier than trying to get everything to respect the scaling options.
>>43197069I see, I’ll have to look then, might work though, so thank you!
