>>43206982"Popen" is a term used in the MLP Second Life community to indicate that the user is open for virtual sex. The "P" stands for "pussy" or occasionally "ponut", and "open" means the obvious.

>>43207048Yes. There's a spider human in each of us. Kinda like in RL the skeleton is already inside you.

>>43207363noooooo they're getting rid of the mare smell!!
la creatura
>>43206757>>43206780behold, mare.i have undergone enough mental anguish/exhaustion today (it took me over half an hour and asking someone else for me to find the color button for the textures, because every tutorial was using a different viewer or didn't tell me how to get to the button and i'm retarded) so you probably won't see me around today. i'm open to feedback in the mean time though. i'd like to find a better mane, but this was the best i could find on short notice and i didn't want to spend an hour trying to choose one.open questions: how common are cutie marks? seems like a relatively high-effort thing compared to everything else
>>43207506>maneIt's common to start with one of the free manes, and there's a huge amount of manes on the market so you can take your time picking one and you can always change styles regularly if you want. For your starting mane just pick something that doesn't look awful and you're good, think of it like arriving to Baltimare after a bunch of travels and not having had time to visit a stylist yet.>feedbackI'd say unequip the celshade. It usually doesn't work well with most looks, especially when most manes, clothes and accessores don't come with celshading.Other than that, hm, the grey and purple color scheme can actually work, but just off the top of my head here maybe try making the grey a bit darker? Right now it looks a bit washed out, more like a missing texture kinda grey.>cutie markThere's a big pack of canon/show cutie marks and some ponies use those.Otherwise I'd say that generally ponies have a cutie mark if they have an established OC with a specific vision and a design already in mind. Lots of anons who basically made their pony from scratch just for SL either don't have a cutie mark or took a while to come up with one. You can always add one way later, once you come up with a special talent for your pony.Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure there must have been at least a few ponies who added a cutie mark a while after making their pony but nobody's ever organised a cutiecenara party or anything.
>>43207506ditch the cellshade. hardly anypony uses it and there is very little that is compatible with itIf you have any ideas in mind for a cutie mark we have multiple talented artists who I'm sure wouldn't mind helping you out on that frontI agree with the other anon that your grey could be a little deeper. if your design comes from something you already have made, using 1:1 colors doesn't translate perfectly to 3D as lighting can vastly vary how your look appears, so it's good to play around with tone/saturation to get something that looks right
>>43207518>I'd say unequip the celshade. It usually doesn't work well with most looks, especially when most manes, clothes and accessores don't come with celshading.that's a good tip, I didn't consider that, and I wondered why the mane looked "different" compared to the pony, but that is exactly why.>colorsi'll dick with it when I have the time and the desire but I see what you mean>cutie marksmakes sense! this poner is kinda based on an existing OC of mine but changed up, but maybe I can build her up anew and come up with some story for her with time>>43207520this popped in just as I was about to hit post, appreciate the input as well!
>>43207520i might as well ask if a vector artist wants to do my CM as a vector so I don't need to use milky's as a placeholder
>>43207544I'm not a vector artist but I've made several cutie marks. Do you have something better/clearer than that there?
>>43207544There are some vector anons ITT that might be able to help.
>>43207523same anon here again, other than the tweaks suggested, in theory how would one make this horse more fuckable? i know this is a matter of opnion, but she's missing something and I can't quite tell what.these comments are motivating me and making me want to get on tonight but I shouldn't.
>>43207608a maid outfit
>>43207554>>43207598just this
>>43207608One of these are always good.https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/HMART-Colt-Killer-II/26674804https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/HMART-Colt-Killer/24120968I'd personally lighten the cell colour in your HUD, for your inner ears and lips, and remove the cellshade.But that's my subjective opinion
>>43207642>>43207675i now have a few ideas, just need to figure out where to find them.
>>43207506Ponies with dark coats are pretty rare, ponies with dark gray coats are even rarer, and the ones that do manage to make it work, usually have much lighter manes (think Night Glider, Thunderlane, Hoity Toity etc). Even then, most of them are very subtly colored in one direction or another, and aren't just totally desaturated grays.If you have a midtone gray and a midtone color, the result is that it's all kind of muddy, because gray doesn't really stand out well against anything and it doesn't complement it either. It's sort of the worst at everything. I might recommend pushing those grays ever so slightly closer to purple, and ditching the spec map so it isn't as aggressively glossy. Also these are very batty colors. Is your OC a batpony?
>>43207680If you drop your username or show up on sim you'll probably get better help
>>43207608>making me want to get on tonight but I shouldn't.Go to sleep anon there'll be time to hang out tomorrow>>43207685This anon is smart
>>43207686oh I intentionally left it vague because if I'm gonna ask for that detailed help it won't be here, figured i'd try to figure it out on my own first though.>>43207685hmm! interesting options. i really like this input. i'll play around a bit. just to be clear, is the top left supposed to be the current colors? mane stripe could also be interesting... also, jesus, everyone here is so nice and incredibly helpful to an autist like me. it's going to definitely be a shock when i inevitably encounter the one guy who's more of an asshole about it>spec mapcan you speak to me like I'm retarded? i don't know what that means.>batponyshe was actually originally a unicorn but I just wasn't feeling unicorn for some reason in this version>>43207691>go to sleepnah it's more physical health issues, if my skeleton stops hurting long enough to sit at the computer i'll be up for hours anyways
>>43207674What is on top of the caliper? I might be able to whip something up.
>>43207695>can you speak to me like I'm retarded?Specular means shineSpecular map is basically a black-and-white texture that defines which areas are allowed to be shiny. "Turn off the spec map" just means turn off spec, i.e. disable the shine.>batponyYou know to reply to >>43207608>how would one make this horse more fuckable?>she's missing something and I can't quite tell what.I think some bat wings and slit eyes would make her instantly more fuckable
>>43207704>bat/dfb/ but you know... i've never made a bat oc before. i could see it working.>specmakes sense!
>>43207695>also, jesus, everyone here is so nice and incredibly helpful to an autist like me.Everyone here is an autist. As long as you’re an anon and don’t act like a total sperg most will be pretty outgoing because as you are starting to find SL sucks in many ways. Most are willing to help and be patient even though most of us don’t like spoonfeeding, because the game sucks that bad. The game itself is like its own barrier to entry.
>>43207695>just to be clear, is the top left supposed to be the current colors?Top left is color-picked from the screenshot, yeah>>spec map>can you speak to me like I'm retarded? i don't know what that means.A specular map determines the color reflected. Since "reflect the color black" basically means reflect nothing, in practical terms that means it controls the brightness of reflections, too. Pic related: Left has no spec map, right has a full white spec map.
>>43207723this is nearing the most high effort fucking help I have ever received on this board for anything in at least 10 years and i'm not even in the sim yet. sorry i am just genuinely baffled that anyone cares enough to do both of the things you've just done.
>>43206982POPEN
>>43207685probably one of the last questions for tonight... is there a way to put the current coat color back into the color picker? the color picker shows some random color because i entered the coat color as hex and if i click on the color picker it will drastically change my color to whatever random color it's set to. i want to make the dot on the color picker be over the actual current coat color (that was set by hex) instead of just whatever it feels like being, so i can use the color picker to select a relative color
>>43207781Your best bet is to set the color picker to white then edit your coat by tinting the skin itself.
>>43207783huh, you can do that? any disadvantages?
>>43207781I'm not sure I understand the question. Can you not copy and paste the hex?...Ah. You're using the Open Pony customization HUD's color picker. Yeah don't use that. As >>43207783 says, your best bet is to do this:1) Enable the BOM checkbox in your customization HUD. This will turn your popen white again. This is fine.2) Right-click -> add the thing in your inventory named "[OP] BOM OpenPony Blank"3) Right-click -> edit that, once you have added it. It'll pop up a window that says "Editing universal." Scroll down to the color/tint box.4) This will pop up the standard SL color picker.5) Once you've changed this color, hit OK and click the "Save" button in the top left of that window.>>43207794It's getting into the weeds a bit as to why this stuff is good, but in general, you'll want to set things up this way sooner rather than later.
>>43207783>>43207781You would need to use select face on all the body parts to do this, otherwise you're also going to colour your eyes, lashes etc.Some might disagree here, but I think you will have better luck doing thisuse a FRESH white body, select the BOM button in the customisation hud till it shows as green.Then attach the thing called [OP] BOM OpenPony Blank (This will act as your coat), right click this, edit and scroll to the bottom of the window that shows up.You'll see Color/Tint at the bottom right, you can tint it here using the color picker or HEX. (if it doesn't update, just set a colour and do open the edit menu a 2nd time)That's BOM, and it would be easier overall to precisely adjust the colour compared to using the "Default" Non BOM format which is just colouring your body using the customisation HUD.
>>43207798This anon explained it better than I.
>>43207798>Yeah don't use that.I disagree, it's only unnecessary when using BOM. If you're not using BOM then the customisation hud is the best way to tint your pony, because otherwise you have to select all the body links individually in the edit menu which is a massive pain.
>>43207827>it's only unnecessary when using BOMThat's the point, anonBOM should be the default because of how many things there are that rely on it
>>43207833Meh, it's really not that important unless you want to add markings and shit. And it is my firm opinion that the majority of ponies do not need and should not need markings; an OC dressed up with a dozen BOM layers is more often than not the hallmark of a bad, overdesigned, sparkledog-y OC.Otherwise there's some BOM eyeshadow but with a non-BOM alternative too, and I think I remember seeing some BOM socks too but there's like a billion mesh socks.If you have some specific design in mind that requires markings and it's tasteful and not overdone, then yes use BOM, but I strongly disagree that it should be the default for everypony. The vast majority of ponies are best off with a single coat color, like Celestia intended.
>>43207842Markings, sure. Or wearing makeup. Or a hairbase. Or selectively making parts of your body transparent, e.g. for mare bits. Or wearing any of the various BOM clothing layers, like undershirts, stockings, etc. Sure, mesh alternatives exist for some of these, especially clothing (ignoring the fact that mesh clothing can cause clipping issues if the goal is to wear it under something else). But freedom of choice is a good thing, and the only counterpoint you've given is that people might use that freedom of choice in a way you don't like.BOM should be the default.
>>43207847>Or wearing makeup.Eyeshadow and lipstick exist as mesh, excessive makeup doesn't look good on ponies either>Or a hairbaseFair but I've seen like two or three ponies ever use it, unless you're specifically making a skinhead pony>Or selectively making parts of your body transparent,Alpha hud exists>Or wearing any of the various BOM clothing layers,I've seen a couple but like I said in my post there's just a few and they have no advantages over all the mesh choices>freedom of choice is a good thingThat's a fair point, I just think BOM is irrelevant and unnecessary enough for it not to matter. You always have the choice to enable it if you need it for something specific, I just simply do not see the point to have it enabled by default.
>>43207798done! my question is how does this interact with the specular map stuff mentioned by (maybe) another anon?
>>43207860>Alpha hud existsFor specific predefined segments of the body, which is useless for alpha-ing out the small hole for marebits, which is the example that was given.>>43207862Specular won't be affected, as BOM only affects the diffuse map. Diffuse is just the regular texture, basically.
>>43207799>green.blue is better
>>43207862It doesn't, BOM is only for the diffuse layer (aka the texture defining the actual colors of the thing, i.e. the image texture). BOM is just a system where instead of selecting a single texture, you can layer different textures on top of each other by wearing them as items in your inventory, and the game "bakes" them into the actual texture that appears on your avatar. Hence the name, "bakes on mesh", it dynamically bakes a bespoke texture onto your mesh
>>43207506we could be related!
>>43207869On paper sure, I use blue too. But you're just putting yourself in a worse spot doing so.More stuff is available for green, HMART hasn't even updated 3+ of their BOM packs to be compatible with blue still to this day.
>>43207881>to be compatibleyou can more than likely make them compatible yourself as most things that are made for green, the creators usually are lazy and throw shit into every fucking slot, and as such the result is generally green can very easily be made into blue.
>>43207880if we're related then i think i just acquired an incest fetish.
>>43207696lathe carriage handwheel
>bro popenmancy is easy just make sure not to alpharez your bom mesh-layer or the texture on the skeleton will be all cellshadedThis is how you sound. Mental illness.
>>43207889We didn't have to get into the weeds, but people started arguing about specifics, as they do
>>43207887a-anon
>>43207887>>43207894now kiss
>>43207886>Just IM the creator for something that should already be available >You can more than likely make them compatible yourselfNope, more often than not textures aren't includedI tried reaching out to HMART and numerous other creators multiple times, it's not worth the time and effort when you can just use green and be better off.>>43207891>>43207799>Some might disagree hereThis is why I said this originally. I suggested green because there's more shit to use out of the box and less hassle for a new poner. Not much more to it.
>>43207889>>bro popenmancy is easyWhatever hypothetical person actually said that, they were lying through their teeth. SL's interface is notoriously convoluted, it's the reason new players usually need so much help.The positive side of that is that it filters babbies out of SL. The chances of finding kiddies is really low, because 11 times out of 10 they'd rather just go play more modern social games like VRChat or Roblox, or just use dicksword.
>>43207520>>43207518I disagree, make the gray lighter (make a derpy)
>>43207900I literally didn't say anything about iming the creatorsmost of the green bom stuff was lazily thrown together an had shit thrown into every single slot, is what I said, meaning, if you set unneeded slots to none, that typically makes it compatibleIstg green vs blue wouldn't have even been an issue if I'd been listened to at the start (before /mlp/ got revived, I was present for the OP launch and myself and other friends complained about how fucking unnecessarily complicated the BoM setup was, and proposed pushing an update with a simpler layout very early on... instead they put out an update that added a simpler layout but kept the original as the "default" so as not to ""alienate"" existing creators)
>>43207799>Until it shows as greenWhy yes, I would like to bake five different textures each using identical UV maps for no reason>>43207881I have these packs, I am very very slowly changing everything I see that's using duplicate bakes to fit blue bom as I need it, I've just not had the push to overhaul the entire pack since I don't need them all, but I think I could motivate myself to do so if it means even one other popen ditching green BOM.
>>43207971I'm sure the new pone would love to do that! If HMART and the likes just did this themselves it would make things much easier for everyone.
>>43207989as a member of the hollowfags I have offered to do it for the ones that made the shit, and have been turned down
>>43207999Thank you for trying, can't understand why they wouldn't accept your offer.Nice trips.
>>43208004trust or something, igas it would require them to pass the items over to me full perm so I could fix them and pass them back, and trust me not to be shitty and hand it out to others with full permissions

>>43208014New popen, some advice on names:You can set a display name, distinct from your username. You are able to set that display name once a week, though you can clear it at any time.I don't recommend setting a display name to be your OC's name, unless you want people to refer to you as that name long after you've stopped playing that OC. Just ask Tea, who has been Firecracker for most of his time here, but whom everyone calls Tea because that's what he was at the start.
>>43208079new popen here - what would i set my display name to if not my OCs name? i'm not really one for screen names unless i'm forced
>>43208080I'm not saying you shouldn't ever use your OC name, as plenty do. But it can make it a little awkward if, further down the line, you want to change to another character.Some like Flimsy and Wolvan will change their display names every time they use a new character - but people just refer to them by their most common OCs regardless. If you don't have a displayname you prefer then I guess oc is probably the most sensible thing to use.

>>43208016>>43208022>>43208114Apparently, sage has purple flowers tooSage Shade
>>43208080Depends if your OC is going to be "you as a pony" or if it's going to be just one OC and you might make more different OCs later, that's anon's point basically.Pick a display name that you want people to call you into the future. Lots of ponies have it as their "OC name" because their OC is their pony is themselves, and they have no reason to change it.
>>43208113>Tempted to post your first butt pic lmaoi'm not going to stop you but i personally think it needs some additions first.>>43208235i agree it's cute but i don't know if it will work. sorry, i hate being so choosy but naming your mare is important!
>>43208391makes sense. i' don't particularly plan to make more OCs, i plan to iterate on this one until she's nice, and fhuggable

>>43207880>>43207887>>43207895I'm having a laugh in the morning. What a great way to start the day.Thank you guys.
>>43208071Anon I think you're just not used to social interaction especially with like minded retards.Sure, there can always be embarrassing or unpleasant moments but in general it's still worth it. I actually improved my RL social skills by having learned online. Sounds silly but it definitely can help autists.
comfy
>>43208413the weird thing is that i'm actually pretty outgoing and social IRL, at least with other horsefuckers. it's just that specifically virtual worlds like SL tickled my autism in the wrong way until last night... now it's the right way. i think it stemmed from something of "oh shit i have to choose who i'm going to be and what if people don't like my choice" and the answer to the what if turned out to be "they'll either not give a shit or help make it better"
>>43208448Yeah just like in RL there will always be people who have an issue with you but it literally doesn't matter. At the same time there will be many who will appreciate you. It's always a good idea to take real criticism seriously but fuck retarded noise. Just enjoy poniponi around and don't worry too much about anything. IF something goes wrong the best way to solve things is to talk things out. In my experience the bad shit always happen when no real communication in such situations takes place.

>>43208668Very cute mare
>>43208668Actually really neat looking
>>43208310That wasn't me, but those names probably sounded like G3 names because G3 has both a mare named Wysteria and another one named Thistle Whistle.If I really wanted the newpon to be G3 propaganda, I'd just help them make a canon G3 pony.

>>43208884>femcolt snoutMassive misnomer and noob trap if you think the name is literal
>>43208884I've used the femcolt snoot in combination with a snoot deformer to make a half-decent 'corn head, so don't discount it as just being for the gayest of stallions

>>43209038fuck I missed getting smarter hourhope you guys will do some more smart hours in the future
>>43209160we have more than two hours amount of content still anon
>>43209089>also my god why are popen cuddles so good, i did not expect to enjoy them this muchGet on my level. I used to think it's a complete waste of time but then someone used that slow caressing cuddle on me and it activated literally every neuron I have in my head.
>>43209164That's called an orgasm, Anon
>>43209162that's great but no time sadly today it will stay a dumb day for me
I love it when ponies get really up close to Camarea
>>43209184Tell me bout those hexagon pole entities
Couple pics for the new popen
>>43209232
And one more cause why not.
>>43209089Wait until you try the sexo
>>43209262NTA, they're fucking garbage actuallyt. tried and was caught
>>43209232thanks for the pics fren!>>43209262way things are going, it feels like that actually might happen sooner rather than later, but we'll see... speaking of which, thanks to everyone who complimented my popen!
>>43209242>>43209239>>43209232You would look very cute with a big black bow on the back of your head. It would tie it all together.
>>43209042:)

>>43209526>going hard inside soft
Aligning stallions with mares is actually based. Real horses also don't look like Beauty And The Beast style when it comes to stallions vs mares.
>>43209603I have personally jammed the mare head on the stallion body solely and purely to make a mare thicker.
>>43209624thank you mutyle rammadan very cool
>>43209636>mutyle rammadanyou wish you were right
>>43209655gasp
Anyone here know where Quote is? I want his gorgeous grass textures and dm's in SL get purged so it's hard to contact him.
>>43209669https://linktr.ee/quotepony go join his discord server
>>43209669If you're talking about his 3d-looking "fluffy" grass, that's fullperm. It's also not just a texture; it has to be layered on multiple planes to work. Just ask inworld and someone can give it to you
>>43209686I know it's not just a texture, it's a plane with an array, I need the actual textures for the layers and not the model itself. Unless I can find that somewhere in-world that isn't balti?
>>43209688You know, I just realized that grass is actually like four unique 1024x1024 textures. A more optimized way would probably be to have a single transparent gradient, with alpha masking set to different cutoffs for each face
>>43209686>someone can give it to you
>>43209701Your approach sounds great. I thought they already did a fuckery like this. 3 individual full fucking 1024px textures is insanity
>>43209686fun fact that's straight up yoinked from the Crystal Empire build done by the animal crossing sim dude bc he wouldn't share/sell it so quote made the planes and iirc either copied it very closely or had the texture copybotted>>43209701and the reason why the textures are a specific way is because it's actually meant to be animated
>>43209768>animatedhttps://u.pone.rs/irktgdwa.mp4quick look at the only place I could find it rezzed
>>43209757X GONNA GIVE IT TO YA
why the buck is Red green
We have so many good looking ponies in baltimare, it's kind of insane. Especially alternate avatars like Lavender's and Ruby's.

>>43210155Madpea sucks
>>43210155Hasn't Tea made interactive apple tree since last year?
>>43210136I like Lav's and Ruby's main avatars.
>>43209507>bowwould love to try one if you know where i can find one! never been a big fan of bows, but i wasn't a fan of this shirt either and then it grew on me, so i'm willing to try anything.>>43210203i love this one >>43209232
>>43210250Yes, succubus Ruby is good.
>>43210059You mean why is Pink olive-coloured?
>new mare>ruby spends a couple of hours helping them make their pony>new mare rarely appears in balti because theyre off in some other sim permanently cuddling ruby>hit on new mare maybe>ruby gets defensive and takes new mare away againjust watch it'll happen as its happened twice in the past
>>43210257>permanently cuddling rubythis doesn't sound like as bad a fate as you make it out to be anon...i don't know what the future holds but I promise i'll visit balti as soon as i have time and feel up to it (which was actually last night but I got distracted)
>>43210257>>hit on new mare maybeSpeaking of which, who do you think is most likely to take the new mare's innocence? Assuming there was any there in the first place.
>>43210284>succubus>feeding on innocence I mean it does make sense
>>43210255THIS is u.
>>43210284>who do you think is most likely to take the new mare's innocencethe right pony at the right time who is willing to spend the time to show me how and ignore the fact that i'm at least 10% retarded
That's exactly the thing.Many wonder how you can make frens and in the end the solution is just to be there for others in need (and sneed)
>>43210313honestly can't wait for months/years down the road when i can be there for new popens in the same way a bunch of you have been for me so far
>>43210313sir plese do the needful
>>43210319If you're having fun you will learn so quick that you can definitely help newfags in just like a week or two. I mean technically right now you could help just by hanging out with them and maybe relaying them to someone who has technical knowledge. As you know, when you're new you know literally no one so it's an incredible comfy feel when there's someone who can give you a hoof instead of everyone minding their own business as if they were bots
>>43210319>>43210325OH and I might wanna add: You don't need to know everything about SL of course. Like with every software you more or less only need to know the basics and for a newb that's basic controls, how to add items to your avatar and where to get them. Stuff like that.
>>43210329i will learn everything with time, because that's just the kind of autism I have>>43210325>everyone minding their own business as if they were botsi think that was one of my fears and it has been thoroughly obliterated
>>43210257That's pretty hotPlus didn't new anon post itt about wanting to get groomed? Getting absorbed into succuruby's harem is far from the worst fate
>>43210360>didn't new anon post itt about wanting to get groomedyes i did and i was hoping everyone would have forgotten by now. but i don't take it back.>far from the worst fatei am inclined to agree so far
I pray for innocence of all new ponies
>>43209316underrated photo, IDK if that reflection is edited in but even if it is edited, this might be my favorite popen photo to date
It's nice that the new pone has shown up in time for the 4th anniversary happenings and will see almost everypony. Marble, when is the party and group photo? I would assume around the 8th through 9th or 10th?
>>43210416oh shit, I had no idea! i will be there for sure
It's been MONTHS! When is LL going to fix the teleport issues and connected regions derendering and then not re-rendering when trying to cross into the connected region or camming over to it?
>>43209798I want to eat that grass so bad it looks so fresh and delicious
>>43210418Newfag, you better get your cutie mark ready.You'll know why when a janny approaches you.
>>43210389GORJASU!
>>43210457i'm scared anon
>>43210426Apparently it's fixed now on the latest betahttps://github.com/secondlife/viewer/issues/5569https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/viewer.htmlhttps://www.firestormviewer.org/early-access-beta-downloads/
>>43210541I didn't realize it was a viewer issue. It seems so server sided.
>>43210557The viewer handles a TON of stuff. I'm not super familiar with the SL architecture but my impression is that the sim servers are basically databases that viewers query at will and display stuff from it. Shit like physics and scripting do run on the sever but that's why physics is often so janky and rubberbandy and scripts often massive have input lag, almost everything else especially everything static is entirely rendered viewer-side.
