@Draekos just a downside of not working at the furry factory
@MillennialDog Updog and Downcat are just quark fursonas. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
@tahajin @MillennialDog@mastodon.social The others are Topwolf, Bottomlion, Charmlynx and Strangejackal.
... Strangejackal is just me, isn't it.
@chimerror if someone tries to suggest underscores they get snaked
so "NESmaker" came out (one of those game development tools for non-programmers) and there's a thread on nesdev asking if people are worried about it bringing "lazy noobs" to the scene
which is a thing you could apply to, like, literally any software ever made? the whole point of programs is to make it easier to do things. "uhhhhh more people should make NES homebrew but it should also be completely impenetrable to most people who don't enjoy programming like it's the 1980s"
lewd, vore
@IrisKalmia "I'm not into vore" I say as I slide down your gullet with a wide grin on my face.
US Politics, murder mention (-)
so the new conservative talking point this week is to blame the immigration system for the murder of Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts.
Newt Gingrich used the opportunity to say "We are living in two alternate political universes," or to paraphrase "how can you worry about Manafort-Cohen when illegal immigrants are killing college girls?"
Please don't fall for this equivalency, the power dynamics in these situations are totally different, it's a trap.
3d art, short explanation
In short terms, the mesh is blue, and I'm making each little part red in such a way that when the bone bends, the mesh bends too.
3d art, long explanation
Actually, let me be a nerd and explain what weight painting is. OK, you have a sweet mesh, and a skeleton of bones for that mesh. You need to specify how much the bones affect the mesh when they bend, that is their weights. If we're lucky, you can use automatic weights. I wasn't lucky.
So I'm literally painting these weights on the mesh, which can make for nicer animations since doing it by hand lets me have more control.
