Okay so the overall plan here is to vacu-form a fox mask out of translucent plastic, then glue a bunch of addressable LEDs to the inside of the mask and drive 'em with a microcontroller.

First step is probably making sure the vac forming works out? Need to pick a plastic. Want something thermoformable, translucent, a little bit flexible, and able to be glued to with silicone or hot glue.

Maybe polystyrene?

@LazyTechsupport@cybre.space Right now I'm in the early planning stages. Mostly, it's general concern that my underdeveloped programming skills aren't enough to create the kinds of patterns I want. I figure it's learnable, but I'm still apprehensive?

@LazyTechsupport@cybre.space the go-juice is probably gonna be arduino because I've used it a bit (though not recently) and it looks like that's what the code libraries are for.

@LazyTechsupport@cybre.space I was actually thinking of using these adafruit.com/product/2343

The goal is to glue addressable LEDs onto the inside of a vacu-formed translucent plastic mask so I can't just use a pre-wired matrix.

I'm fairly confident in the mechanical construction, less so on the coding.

Does anyone here have experience driving serial LED arrays?

Remember the Juicero, and how it was an expensive over-engineered pile of capitalist hubris and failure?

The Capitalists sure don't.

@amphetamine@social.wxcafe.net please tell me it's some kind of turbomachinery.

@amphetamine@social.wxcafe.net i don't know what this is but i want to lick it.

I should make a plastic version of my fox mask. Probably good to do it with some sort of thermoforming, maybe vacu-forming.

Bonus: I can give it glowy blush!

I imagine porn stuff as being set in a nebulous alternate reality(ies) I call "Porn World". Porn World is like any other fantasy universe you know except all the implausible freaky kinky shit is just… normal. Most social interactions end in sex of some kind and that's OK. Having someone walk in on you while you're masturbating, then stop and offer to help is just a thing that's happened to most people.

"Can you make me a potion to change who I am?"
"No," said the witch. "There are no such potions."
"Oh. I hoped-"
"But I can make a potion to change your body to who you are."
