@Whim:

I forgot to 'mention' you in the last one. Sorry!

@Whim:

Blender's interface has changed drastically over the last few years to be far more user-friendly and intuitive. I'm always willing to give you a hand, if you have questions!

I mean, it was only RIGHT THERE in your signature. Silly I missed it earlier.

@Whim:

Blender 3D! It's a free 3D modeling program. They're branching out into some 2D and hybrid support, but it's still primarily a 3D software. I want to use the normal information to remap a texture to whatever I make. The idea is if the shader ball looks stylized and 2D, the end result (with a bit of additional tweaking and mapping, but less than without that) will also look 2D.

Oh, no, this was years and years ago. It's all been handled. It never got to legal, they just refunded me and I never went back.

@Whim:

I'm working on a way to convert from a 3D model to a 2D pixel image. I have some very promising results, and I think I can make it work even better here with the little shader balls they have. I will have to experiment more. Is there a place that shows all those shader balls a bit bigger, somewhere?

I didn't mind the pace. It was the half-baked implementation of promising features left laying around the place, and the absolute refusal to add anything to a gold shop. But all that is livable; what finally drove me away was the refusal to refund money that glitched up on their end and trying to give me premium cash, instead. I had to threaten legal action. I can't afford to pay 100 dollars when I only wanted to spend 10.

I do hear the original management is back, but I'm hesitant to return at this point.

I see you have a hangout!

@Whim:

I actually just Googles 'avatar forum site', and it was one of the options. I was first introduced to this sort of thing via Gaia Online, but it broke my heart too many times. A decade of distancing myself from the entire genre, and I'm ready to return and move on. I would love to make items for a site like this some day.

@Whim:

Well, darn. That's good to know from the beginning, though. I'm close to getting my body finished, and after that comes clothes! O vO;;;

@whim:

Is there a way to change the layering of items? Some of the hair choices don't pair will with ears. Do I just need to live with it and pick an alternate combination?

@Whim:

I can see that! It's all very exciting~
Posted in Greetings And Salutations Posted 1 year ago
@Whim:

I am 100% okay with having to change it every time, as long as it's an option! I need to make enough gold to put together a body and outfit I'm okay to be seen in.

@whim:

Thank you! It looks like it's going to be fun. I wish there was a way to make it so the puzzles don't flash every time you pick up a piece, though... :c
Posted in Greetings And Salutations Posted 1 year ago
This looks like it could be fun. I'm interested in playing here.

If I could be a bear, I think I'd go for a grolar bear! They're a hybrid of grizzlies and ice bears, and started appearing when then latter's hunting grounds began to shrink.
