How about a plants and gardening related event? maybe even featuring plant-based popens
>>43171975
Has anyone ever tried redeliver an unlisted item in the marketplace?
>>43172187anon dont divide by zero
>>43172192i probably would anon
>>43172078I love popen wisdoms
>>43172187I'm not sure if you can, I went digging through my transactions and found an old store that delisted all their stuff and the redeliver button for the item isn't even there
>>43172187>>43172232it's rather funny I can leave a review for an unlisted item tho
>>43172255I get irrationally angry at perfectly good digital media and content being delisted for literally no reason.The kind of mad where I blindly assume the creator is genuinely mentally ill with absolutely no basis for that assumption outside of this one minor inconvenience against me.
>>43172328you could assume just that as default for anyone being active in the pony space and you'd be right like 2 times out of 3.
>>43172328Knowing the creator, the reasoning in this case should be something like>oh there are those teeny tiny imperfections in the animations that only I can see, guess I must remove them from the market so that muh reputation as a good animator doesn't get dragged down by this
>>43172341Artists like this should remind themselves that there's ALWAYS someone better than you no matter how good you are. Might as well just chill having fun and make good stuff without sweating too much.
>>43172341>>43172347I'd say it was probably yet another case of Aru removing it from the marketplace because "she was gonna make an updated version", but then she never got to it and just left the product unlisted for years on end.
>>43172351wouldn't it be a wiser move to take it out once you have the new version and you're actually replacing it?
>>43172352I agree it would, but it seems some sellers have this paranoid feeling that if any of their products show any kind of imperfection or "bad quality", everyone will hate the seller forever, so it's justifiable to remove "bad products" from the market before more people see them.
>>43172358Meanwhile I'm now more inclined to think of them as entirely flaky and shady and likely completely lacking in support for their older listings no matter how high quality.

Overweight fat popens are becoming an issue in Balti...
ONIONS GREEN IS POPENTonight we are watching the classic about weird food or some shit I have no ideaONIONS GREEN, with invincible as preshow starting at 11AM SLTDL we . tl / t-uqYWy993DBmu8OZL
>>43172187I'm not even listing my items on the MP because they're just not at a quality as other actual good creations. The expectations on items are very high and I haven't seen anyone using the things I made and handed out for free so... there's also not really a point
i find the rent a pony idea funny
>>43172474I'm sleep deprived and it actually took several seconds to realize what's wrong. I was actually searching for fat popen in that shot until I eventually facepalmed at myself and the state I'm currently in.
>>43172487>The expectations on items are very high andby whom? who's saying this? who looks like this? people just want shit that does what's on the tin. if it does what it's supposed to do 99% are perfectly happy.
>>43172472I still don't know what is actually causing the popen measles.
>>43172501Why using a dress or mane from a new creator than an established one that does it for years? The actual feedback for creating (mesh, music, art etc.) is if people use and share it. If they say things are always nice and all good but don't show or use it, then it's too bad to do so
>>43172502I've never seen it, except through Camarea.Those of you who have, what GPU are you using?
I had a dream Skivvy was playing with Softstep's cock.
>>43172487>>43172594Hey powy! I encourage you to list items you make because you lose literally nothing by doing so!Your perceived expectations on these things are actually pretty false and most ponies I know are interested in and excited to support new creators! Especially when those creators are from within our community!t. an established creator who really wants to see new things from new creators
>>43170733>>43172734the ""official"" tag is "openpony"but also baka at sellers who don't max out as many relevant tags as possible
>>43172471Catbox has been saying uploads paused for too long, so I'll just have to send them directly here
>>43172763use pone.rs
>>43172765Does pone.rs have the same 3 hour timer as uguu? nothing on the site says otherwise besides "some changes"
>>43172767idk why don't you just try using it, anonI don't know what you mean by a timer bc I use it as my main uploader for files and have it connected to sharex and usually am not uploading directly to the site
>>43172773I've used it before, just never confirmed if links expire in the past.For anyone else wondering, the oldest pone.rs link I can find is from March and still loads across different devices.https://u.pone.rs/vnqixkqp.pnghttps://u.pone.rs/ntwjczao.pnghttps://u.pone.rs/asdxcazh.png

>>43172477>onions greenkek
>>43172745"Official" means little when lots of customers are esl or new to sl. They will search the first thing they learn or the shortest term they know. There are items that don't show up when searching openpony that do when you search op or pony. It's up the the creators to make their items accessible, not the customer to find them. >>43172487Just as it is up to the customer to decide if an item is worth buying. Just list your items and price according to what you think is reasonable. Buyers will either get it or they won't. More is always good and you're better than you think.

>>43172879>It's up the the creators to make their items accessible, not the customer to find them.I was never trying to imply that's the caseofficial as in that's the official tag that sellers are supposed to use, and it's on those sellers if they don't use as many relevant tags as they possibly can and customers can't find their products
>>43172908I think the second one is simply about physics
>>43172909Sorry, wasn't trying to imply anything on you. You're doing the right thing by tagmaxxing.
>>43172879While I don't disagree, as a customer I just fucking wish I could search for one magic tag and get all the popen items. I don't care what ESLs and third worlders do.>There are items that don't show up when searching openpony that do when you search op or ponyAnd therein lies the problem, you can put whatever tags you want but you REALLY REALLY SHOULD put in the one single official tag, no matter what else you do. It's extremely, extremely, extremely aggravating and tiring to have to do five searches every time I wanna comb the market, most of which bring up duplicates, but all of which invariably find something that the other searches didn't.Made combinatorially worse when the actual search term I want is not well defined (e.g. I don't know if the creator would've called their item a harness or a halter or just said "tack" or "horse tack" or bridle or reins) and now I have to search EACH of those terms in combination with "op", "open pony", "openpony", "popen" etc. etc. and the end result is that I have to make and look through like 30 marketplace searches and I just lose my mind.If creators did nothing except tag their items "openpony" and nothing else, reliably, the market would be infinitely better than it is now. Fuck the third worlder ESLs, plus if this was true then they'd just quickly learn what the magic word is, it's not that obscure.
>>43172208Post more silly chatshots
>>43173149
do you guys have your camera shutter sound turned off or left on?
>>43173113>I have to make and look through like 30 marketplace searchesYou can use boolean operators to search for multiple keywords at the same time. In this example, I think searching>"op" OR "open pony" OR "openpony" OR "popen" OR "op"should give you the results you're looking for in just one marketplace search.

Hi /opg/ anons. I don't usually come around here and in fact I've never opened SL in my life, but I have a few questions that you might be able to help me with.I want to use the OpenPony model for a personal modelling/rendering project. I found the devkit with .blend files that appear to contain the base model. Is that the best way to get it, or is there a better way?Additionally, there's so many good accessories and things in SL that I'd love to use. Is there a way, either officially supported or not, to get the models and textures for them out of SL and onto your computer? I remember many years ago I used NinjaRipper for a similar project with some game, but I don't know if that's the best way or there's something better, since again.Sorry if these questions are stupid or have obvious answers. Like I said I'm retarded, I have never even opened SL before.
>>43173870All of the up-to-date development resources should be in the Open Pony d*scord server if I am not mistaken.
>>43173870There's no official way to get stuff from SL. Things that are made by HMART and happen to be made by Izzy (who created the OP model), you can contact Izzy to ask for the mesh, and he's known to be very liberal with it so there's a good chance he'll just give you the mesh with permission to do whatever.But stuff made by other people usually isn't distributed in mesh form and most people are not actually very forthcoming with letting others use their raw mesh.If it's mostly for personal stuff though, there are ways to rip models from the viewer. I'm no expert on this myself, I just know that they exist.
>>43173917Really appreciate the info, thanks a ton! Every time I've come in this thread for various stuff in the past you guys have been super cool, one of the coziest threads on the board for sure, even if it's not exactly my interest.
>>43173921nta but I will inform you that illicitly taking models through the viewer is basically considered stealing and the creators of said models can come after you even if it's for personal useespecially since there was already a bad taste left in the mouths of many of the community when a dude asked a single person if he could rip THEIR models for his roblox project and when they said yes he took that to mean he could rip ALL models(now he actually charges robux for people to use the clothing and accessory items he didn't make and bans people if they mention in his discord that the models aren't his)The OP community is actually very supportive of creation tho and if you ask around here or the discord, I'm sure some ponies would be more willing to help you learn to create your own outfits and accessories
>>43173937Oh, don't worry - the stuff I'm working on will never leave my computer, not even in the form of a screenshot.
>>43173943Now I'm curious..
>>43173945It's a pretty boring project. Think along the lines of Desktop Ponies, but 3D and slightly more smart than preprogrammed lines. If I release the project it'll be "bring your own assets" unless someone gives me permission to use theirs somewhere along the way.
>>43173937>and the creators of said models can come after you even if it's for personal useThey can't "come after you" for shit unless you are particularly legally weak somehow. Such as selling them for IRL money with your IRL details in a way that makes it easy to serve actual legal takedowns, and even then usually the first step is a takedown and then actually any serious action beyond that is vastly more expensive and trickier, especially when the "lost sales" might amount to like $10 of virtual dollars in an ancient MMO.The only real danger is social, in that they will say mean words about you. This matters if you want to remain in good standing, it doesn't matter if you do it anonymously or whatever.What this means in practice is that you shouldn't do it because it's not nice to steal shit that basically other anons made for their little virtual market and shit - it's not some megacorporation's copyright, it's some single guy modelling in blender. But it also means that if you just do it to mess around with shit on your own literally nothing will happen to you and nobody will come to you.Maybe if you were like a famous creator with a big patreon and you showed off playing around with copybotted assets, and the owners made a stink about it, it'd be negative PR and might cause drama and whatnot. But for normal people literally just doing a personal project for fun, not social media personalities running PR or whatever, it's completely fine.
>>43173978I'm the original anon who asked, I get where both you and him are coming from, in the end I just don't want to be an asshole to this community because a lot of you seem cool.
>>43173986Since the law is basically powerless due to economies of scale, it boils down to a matter of respect. And in my opinion using something personally without explicit "permission" is in no way disrespectful to the original creator; respect goes both ways, and respecting the original wishes makes sense in most cases but there's a line beyond which it's unreasonable and if someone were to get genuinely mad at this that'd be their own problem IMO.In any case if you don't even plan to distribute screenshots then it's not like they will even be able to find out in order to get mad in the first place so there's no problem.
>>43173986If you want the most favorable outcome socially, it's better to ask. Most creators here would say yes and the ones who don't would still be supportive of your en devours. Your project sounds interesting and I hope you do share at least a little preview of the progress at some point. Asking might also get you extra support too. A lot of creators here go above and beyond to be helpful.The truth is though, nobody will know if you ripped their stuff if it's never share it.
i'm working on a series of pictures recreating famous black and white photos with canon ponies. i debated waiting until i took them all to post, but was encouraged to share my first one since the series is taking longer than expected! the next ones requires a lot of extras, so i will probably be bothering anyone with a simple canon pony to be in them.full quality version:https://files.catbox.moe/yzro3y.pngoriginal photo for comparison (nohooves warning):https://files.catbox.moe/clf31t.jpg
I am new to this shit and I accidentally clicked something on the customization HUD and my avatar turned into the picrel abomination and I have no idea how to fix it. I tried replacing my outfit with the default anonpony completely and it just stayed like that. How repair mare?
>>43174316You enabled Bakes-on-Mesh aka BOM. Press the button until it is grey/off instead of showing blue or green and you'll return to normal.
>>43174306this is art
>>43174319Interestingly making BOM green seems to fix the problem, if it's grey then it's fucked up. I think I might just need to start over because I last messed with this like 2 years ago and only for an hour or 2.
>>43174349I had to start over my pony three times after fucking it up in various ways I didnt yet understand. that's normal.
>>43174349Grey is no BOM, green is BOM. Green and blue are different types, but you can just use green. It will work for most things.
>>43174349If you have either [OP] BOM OpenPony Velvet/Blank/Fur equipped you'll need your customization HUD to be set to green (or blue depending on the BOM) for it to work.
Do you dare boop the snoot?
>>43174364I dare to gently and lovingly slap my erect penis across the snoot.
>>43174306Incredible work, can't wait to see the rest
>>43174376Too scared to do it yourself?
>>43174361>just use greengreen is actually inferior when will ponies learn....
>>43174438I wish I had made blue BOM my standard way earlier, but when I started using BOMs most of them were made for the green layout, and by the time I learned how to convert between types, all of my popens and all of the BOM layers I used were all using the green layout already and now it would take ages to convert everything to the blue layout.If there was an easy, quick, automated way of converting them all, I'd do it, but for now it just doesn't seem like it's worth the effort.
>>43174490Really early on I offered to help several creators of BoM sets with making all their layers fully compatible with both, all they would have to do was send me the layers and textures and I'd send them back converted, but for some reason they were all really... untrusting about it? I'm not even some random, I'm fairly well established as a community member and friends with Izzy...(I'd even offered to record myself deleting all the stuff after I was done and purging my trash but.. nope.)anyway if ponies trusted me enough I would just offer it as a simple service to log into their account and do it for them lmaoI am actually trusted with... several ponies' logins to help them with stuff they don't understand how to do
>>43174502If you care so much why not make a tutorial on how to do it? I would never give someone my login, even if I trusted them.
>>43174506I could do that, yeah. It's pretty easy, honestly, but also >>43174490>by the time I learned>now it would take ages to convert everythingLaziness/lack of time is most often what keeps ponies from convertingI'll see about piecing together a quick tutorial for it later, but I can't fix the laziness of others

>>43176215but why
do people still buy items made out of prims or is everyone going nah that's not 2020s mesh I'm not paying money for this?
>>43176346I don't know, but personally I wouldn't spend money on something that's very visibly made of prims, unless it was really really cheap and looked close enough to what I had in mind. Making stuff out off prims tends to really inflate the size of the linkset and that bothers my autism a fair amount. If you're asking because you're considering selling something but don't have the money to upload stuff, I suggest trying to sell scripts.
