>>43239922first for self-promotion and asking for feedbackI'm redoing https://u.pone.rs/pnzcdbtk.mp4 into a proper animated PMV, https://u.pone.rs/utcofepr.mp4 is the current WIP that I've rendered.Is there anything that stands out to (you) other then the empty shots (which are placeholders for when I do the 2d portion of the video)?I know the lipsync is a little rough, but it's very hard to approximate the lip motion 1:1 from the video with the limited phonemes I have, doesn't mean I can't fine tune it further though. https://u.pone.rs/uksgxdja.mp4 is a example of how my lipsync graph looks like along with the sliders it controls. Any feedback appreciated, especially from animators.

>>43239922the reflection in the statue makes it looks like you've been banished to be trapped in dashie's belly forever anon.
>>43240268>>43240567Take the hint
I am going to have to do something for the new thread. I'm the 3d print guy, and it's going to be warm enough to print again. Anyone got something they want in a 3d print?
>>43240928The G1 Smooze pouring out of a framed painting / an open window, like a waterfall. The base of the structure would be the splash upon impact.
>>43240928Dashie in this pose would be neat.
>>43240949Thanks I will put this idea on the back burner and return when I have more technical skills. I would have to consider center of mass, balance, and account for whatever other technical issues. I need to do more research on these types of art. I remember seeing a coffee mug and a splash to the same effect. >>43240958This idea is great. I love that meme and I love Dash. So its a win win. It's just that there's very little detail in the example photo. I need to look for an ai image in this pose. Also need to work out how I can add the text to the pony model. Maybe just a solid block with the text inset and at the base in front of her.
>>43240975the ai stuff's fine, maybe you can find a already made dash model though to use?[/s]Can't wait to see how it come's out nonny, Dashie..
>>43240980it looks like I am going to have to do this from scratch make a Dashie model and then pose it like you semi-suggestedits no big deal I want to see this come to fruition, so I am motivated. Which means it has a higher likelihood of happening

>>43241699Why is Sweetie Belle rubbing herself?
>>43240958I dunno, what do you think? The arms aren't in the perfect pose, and her forelimbs are a bit blocky. But I think it's just nitpicking and the idea of scrapping this and starting over is unappealing. As the artist of the work I know I am more critical then an outside observer. So constructive criticism is welcome. Didn't feel like making a video of it either since I am not 100% satisfied.
>>43242021Arms look really square to me. Also, it filled in half of her ear. Mouth looks a little weird IMO—might be better if it was closed like in the original. And finally, not sure if it's just the angle or what, but her legs look like they're kinda glued on the side rather than actually part of her body
Where can I find a free VST for ambient synth pads that sounds good? A lot of the links I found for free VSTs are either not 64-bit or the links are dead.
>>43242058ill make a video then I will make her arms a bit less blocky and her mouth does need a bit of work and her legs just look like that at this angle.
>>43242058>>43242021The wings attached to the arms is a 3d print design choice for added durability. But the other stuff that was pointed out will be addressed. And is there any other things that need to be fixed? Oh and yea the ear needs to be fixed too. Her other ear is covered in hair
Bah I am abandoning it. It needs too much work. And I am not pleased with the over all aesthetics. I like my ponies to look sexy and cute. This is just a blob pony.
>>43242021>I dunno, what do you think?certainly better then I could think, I'd try making the base round or polygonal for "aesthetic reasons" but it's a solid start!as >>43242058 said, it still needs polishing, the image itself is a bit crudely done with a flash vector, so you'd have to think a bit harder about how the joints connect and things like that. in >>43242109 the wings are still sort of glued to the front hooves, and the front hooves still feel quite flat. I don't know if its a limitation of 3D printing, but curving the wings just a bit at the edge, and making the arms more round would work well Maybe also move the tail more to the middle of the ass? (and add a dock?)
>>43242157also this is technically off-topic, but what's stopping you from ripping a gmod PPM2 model w manes, posing it in blender, then converting it into a 3d-printable file making sure the printer can actually print it properly.
>>43242158>>43242157 I could try to import. It's a decent idea. The only problem with it is all that work for it to look like a SFM model. Which is almost 20 years old at this point. Custom 3d prints is my specialty . With all that said I am still at a stalemate and don't know how I should proceed. lolHere's a model I want to use but I have to clean it up and then pose it. Which is currently beyond my pay grade. I will figure it out eventually.
>>43242062I don't know the exact type of sound you're going for but this one might work: https://www.fullbucket.de/music/deputy.htmlThere are other VSTs on the same website that you could try as well (I've used ragnarok the most, and it also has some presets that could be suitable). Pretty sure they all come with 64-bit versions.
