Created a new twitter account focused on MLP content alone. Soon I want to start making a few comics, just need to get an editor and co-writer to help me with a few things plus finish the comic I'm working on right now that is non mlp related.https://x.com/Ferret_Jester
>>43502563Kill yourself.
>>43502563Ask AI to help
>>43502750My main problem with my own writing is that I really sound weird if left at my own devices, I don't socialize a lot and all my hobbies are studying esoteric garbage and watching cartoons and it shows when I write, I had an editor for that in my last comics I wrote for /co/ for fun but after my last bath she told what I write is too retarded and gave up on the job. I kinda wanted someone to revise my writing and make it sound less autistic, something I don't think an AI would do. I also prefer to work with people, the Sycophancy of AI really annoys me. I much rather have anons telling me to kill myself if I fuck over people peting my head.
>>43502563based
>>43502786AI is great for streamlining disorganized ideas.
>>43502795It's really garbage at writing, though. Constantly trying to impress the reader by sounding super smart and super deep. It's just incredibly tiresome to read
>>43502795I experimented with working with AI before in a few games I was doing as a hobby, I went out of my comfort zone and attempted to use the tool, and trust me, I really really really hated it.I was pulling my hair out in the end because I could just not tolerate the usual AI problems. AI as a tool is too unreliable to be that useful even if you want to be as pragmatic as possible and ignore all the feelings related with how the tool was trained. When it works it is fine, but it only works 50% of the time and when it doesn't it becomes you fighting against your own tool to deliver what you want. Also not as satisfying for creating. I draw and write mostly for my own satisfaction, I don't have much of this feeling when I try using it. Not for me, but thanks for the advice anyway.
>>43502805Once the novel of it wears off, you begin to be able to see patterns in how it writes. That is why I have been completely turned off the hobby for the past however many months. I cannot seem to attain the quality of those /chag/ logs.
>>43502820They monstly happen in chats with 150+ messages deep and it's not very many
>>43501603If you can find non-slop (pre 2019) official blender animation tutorials, then sure. Anything "modern" is simply garbage though, those SFM tutorials have three things they do 100% correct>they are direct and show you how to navigate the UI>they use practical examples>they don't rely on "audience retention" and instead focus on the core content. most jewtube tutorials nowadays satisfy neither because they beg for subscribers at the start, then have a sponsor segment, and have overly annoying/flashy thumbnails and clickbait. >reddit spaceOK, I've gotten back to my SFM project, did a couple more scenes. Steam reports I've spent 77 hours in SFM, which seems to track. I'm just about 70% done all the scenes now, but I have to go through and polish each individually, then work on the 2D part of the animation in Adobe Animate. Sadly, I haven't been able to get Adobe AfterEffects to work at all on my virtual machine, is there any way to get a torrented .exe crack to work with wine/proton or do I have to figure out how to dual boot off of my drive(s)?Anyway, this is the 11th project file save, I might actually finish this before the anni and be able to showcase it.

>>43502841Are you being autistic because of the twitter link? I also don't like it, but normally I only post my crap on /co/ and /co/ request drawthreads and I had like 10000 requests to create a place to put my art on. Since I can't post my mlp art anywhere else on 4chan I decided to just create a fucking account already and people stop spamming me asking were I post since is so much more niche and I can't post elsewhere. The comics will be on it's own neocities site. twitter is ass to read anything in comic format.

>>43502806>When it works it is fine, but it only works 50% of the time and when it doesn't it becomes you fighting against your own tool to deliver what you wantIn the 50% where it doesn't work, just throw it out and do it yourself. This is what I've been doing for coding. Way better than trying to argue or talk the dumbass clanker into fixing its slop. I specifically try to minimize the amount of time I spend writing prompts and classifying results as usable or not, so that when it fails, at least I didn't waste too much time messing with it on this particular task.

>>43502903Go to the games section, click here, then go to "adding new one". Then request your game. The more information the better.It would be 100% better if you had a copy of the game, otherwise. You run the risk of us never really finding a working copy.

>>43501337Hi anons. What puppets do you use for animation (Season 1-2 style)? The ones from the original ~2013 DHX leaks, the 2019 leaks or something else? I have read a few times in the archives that mintyroot's old puppets are better than the 2013 leaks ones. Is this true for the 2019 leaks too? I'm talking about these. This listen is somewhat broken but you can find all the puppets in that tumblr.https://www.tumblr.com/mintyroot/104553100370/list-of-fully-legal-360-pony-puppet-rigs-you-can

>>43504431I'm going to use it for an animation where celestia and anon go on a date. I have a few ideas for other animations, but I need to make an anon filly model and both of them anatomically correct first.>>43501983Eventually. I just want to make the animations first.
>>43504263I’ve been using the official leaked ones, but I have a folder full of unofficial fan puppets using the Double Rainboom puppet system (Milky Way, EQG, etc)

>>43501736We could probably integrate these into the assets at pony.games! Some people could find it useful
>>43505620well this pack is kind of shambolic and music-oriented so it might be hard to find anything usable. but if there were specific kinds of sounds people wanted i could maybe dig some things up

>>43504857>official leaked onesFrom like 2013 or the 2019 ones? Are they too different from season1-2?
>>43501918I like the world. Its very close to what I've been homebrewing and headcanoning in grander scheme. It has teeth, but it's not grimderp and still magical pony world. Wish I could find a group to try this setting with.
I added sparkles and fixxed the dirrection of her tails movment. the sparkles do the chowder thing where they are locked to the world instead of the character. I'll probably redo the hair and tail effect In a way that can be exported into game engines later on.
>>43507446I forgot the webm as I am retarded.
>>43507447So majestic.
>>43507446I really like how collectively as a society we have chosen to call unmoving plaid the Chowder Thing.
>>43506177I think the 2019 and 2013 ones together, considering I have Alicorn and pre-Alicorn twi.the pre-alicorn twi even has a small memo saying to not use it in future episodes which I find grimI can quickly zip them and share them on pone.rs or mare.by if you want.

>>43508058How does animating the official puppets even work? It's like trying to put a jigsaw puzzle together.
>>43508058Thanks!
>>43508082https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anuKgJgH5MgI'd recommend watching the full series if you're brand new (first vid in OP, shows animation types, roughing, etc.) but this shows you how to utilize the layers inside the puppet and keyframe them.

Here is how I did the waves in celestia's tail and mane. I use two wave modifiers that have been staggared to make it look like a sine wave. There are probably better ways to do this that actualy export to game engines, but I'll save that for later.
>>43508855Unf
>>43508855Good lord open a window
>>43508855>export to game enginesspeaking of which, your current pipeline does involve quad to tri conversion right?
>>43508505
>>43509384blender does that automaticaly whenever you export files into fbx. Its stuff like rigging and expressions that require a bit of effort when exporting.
>>43509855
>>43510272
>>43509909Huh, interesting.Is there any way to keep the model as quads when exporting to Maya, or does it and 3ds Max not support them?
thought about making a windigo mask. basically a white opaque base with eye mesh (so you can't see the wearers face underneath) like for a fursuit head but with a blue transparent shell put on instead of fur. possibly LED or EL-wire for glowing eyes. ya think it could work?and I guess you could make this into a whole costume if you make hoof gloves the same two layer way as the mask and then wear a long gown (perhaps similarly two-layer)
>>43510991Its a setting you can toggle. I only use blender and substance painter but I assume you would need to remake the rig aswell. The main bones and weightpainting will transfer, but I doubt the controls for ik and other things will aswell
>>43510598
I've been looking into investing in an embroidery machine but I'm not sure what hoop size would be sufficient for normal sized pony plushies. Is the basic 4" x 4" big enough for eyes and cutiemarks when not making lifesized ponies? I'd rather go bigger but the price jumps into the thousands as soon as you do. Does anyone know a good starting machine? I'm willing to put in the money if I have to since I hate hand embroidery passionately.
>>43512218I'd recommend getting one that can do 5x7 even if you aren't planning to do life sizes. You'd be surprised at how small the 4x4 hoops actually are when embroidering stuff, and It's always best to have it and not need it in case you do ever want to do something bigger. Make sure to get second hand too to get it cheaper.
>>43504818Kino, will be anticipating it.
>>43511957
>>43512218>>43512266Just a reminder that appliqué is also an option, though it’s not as strong as embroidery in practice. Fusible web sheets are a little pricey but they’re retard proof and help a-lot in aligning fabric for appliqué as is the case in picrel for my anon mask.
Here is a walk cycle. Its a bit rough since Im alot better at making models than I am animating them. The outline is grease pencil based instead of inverted hull based which looks a bit better imo, Im still somewhat experimenting with shaders but this is more or less what she will look like. Im not making a porn animation with killer 7's art style.I'll release the model as is when I finnish the anon and celestia date animation, then I work on the estrus update for the model, so if you want to make any porn animations with her please wait until I do that instead of bolting on mismatched horse pussy.

>>43513204her ass is considerably too big in my opinion, but she looks really good otherwise.
>>43513978I was actualy going to make the ass considerably bigger, but I decided to hold myself back to prevent her from looking silly in sfw works. I will probably give her ass a slider to make it a bit slimmer or much fatter along with other things. I have enough sense not to give her giant crotch tits by default, those will be optional.
>>43514019But she is getting crotch tits, right?

Thinking of trying to get into plushmancy. Is there any recomended cheap fabric I could practice on?
>10
>>43515007You can always practice on fleece or even random cotton. Better to get used to how working with minky works though so I would recommend spending the few extra dollars per yard on the right materials. If you don't have general sewing experience for sure learn general methods on random old clothes. Maybe just get some scraps and try to make your own patterns for little projects to gain more understanding for the mechanics of patterns and how things end up working and looking.
Here is a test render. This was supposed to be one of the scenes but I dont like how it looks so the entire set is getting scraped. The materials dont work with celestia very well, the framing makes it look like the picnic is happening in a hole, etc.
