MY FAVORITE LITTLE BASTARD!! NOW AVAILABLE IN 3D!!!!

stills under the cut :)

[bandcampsnoop]

5/8/24.

Living Clipboards are a Dunedin/Wellington New Zealand group comprising members from The 3Ds and Look Blue Go Purple (Denise Roughan), Mark Williams (MarineVille) and Jim Abbott (Ghost Club). They really do sound like a sum of their previous bands and then some. At times I can also hear Hamish Kilgour/The Great Unwashed.

Which is interesting since I also saw that Paul Kean posted a song from The Archers - one of his many side projects. This side project consisted of Hamish and Lisa Siegal (Mad Scene) and Kaye Woodward and Paul Kean (The Bats, Minisnap). There is only a single track currently available, but Paul promises to keep cleaning up the songs which were were recorded "one cold winter".

Living Clipboards was mastered by Tex Houston and is available from Burning Log, a label based in Wellington, New Zealand.

id be interested in seeing you rank plane emojis from different platforms (by their livery, or by whatever else) just for fun, if you want!

You're right. I WILL do this for fun, because this is fun. Not based on livery, since they're mostly white with blue wings - just how much I like them. I'll be adding a rating out of 10 for each one because I think that's the tradition for this sort of thing.

Apple - 4/10

I mean, because I have an iPhone this is my default conception of an airplane emoji - I think it's fine, I just find it a bit offputting how they model the individual flaps and cockpit windows but the rest of it is a white airbrushed tube. It's a weird contrast.

It's fine, I think. Acceptable. I maybe think emojis by default aren't the most aesthetically pleasing.

Google Noto Color Emoji - 4.5/10

I think this is a slight improvement over the Apple version because of the more consistent stylization. It's also a little more contemporary, since most airliners that are flying now have two engines. I like that they added a few windows and highlights to keep the cabin interesting, and I think it's a bit...something that they took off the flaps but added flap track fairings. Cockpit windows look awful though.

Samsung - 2/10

This is a bit more of a realistic shape for an airplane but for some reason I don't like it. Maybe it's the fact that you can barely recognize that there's a tailfin at all, or the cockpit window looking weirdly...shiny? I think what gets me the most, though, is that those engines look like Super Mario pipes.

Microsoft - 1/10

She's a little...phallic somehow. I just think a top-down view of an airplane is almost always going to look worse if you make it super round and blobby. On the bright side, it's still recognizable as a plane.

WhatsApp - 7.5/10

I really like the way this one is red. Way to stand out in a crowd. It's also quite realistic without giving up on being stylized. My one issue is with the cockpit windows, which look a bit out-of-place and weird. This seems to be a common point of failure for this sort of emoji. Also, I'm unsure if this is meant to be a two-engined 747, but if it is points off for those not existing.

Twitter - 6/10

I hate to ever hand it to Twitter but this is just solid. That's an airplane, just a very simplified and round one. Even the cockpit windows on this one look okay.

Facebook - 3.5/10

Maybe airplane emojis with airbrush shading just look bad to me. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with the shape of this but I don't think they differentiated the tailfin from the fuselage enough. It looks like a stub. Also, what is up with that miserably short wing chord?

Telegram - 7/10

I mean, it looks like a 3D version of the Apple one, but it's surprising how much making it 3D improves it. Plus, gotta hand it to them deciding their emoji was being flown by Tex Johnston. I admire that sort of verve.

Microsoft Teams - 0/10

On the flipside, animating this one and making it 3D makes it so much worse! It looks like it was made right when people just figured out that 3D animation was a thing that was possible to do, back in the 50s or something. And boy are those pixels crunchy - I wouldn't mind this if it weren't already heinous. Seriously, how is that tailfin even attached?

Skype - 10/10

Now this I really like. Most of these are impossible to assign a model to but this distinctly looks to me like one of the earlier, stubbier 737s, just really short with a pointy nose, and she's waving at you. Crisp, nice smooth animation, just fantastic.

Twitter Emoji Stickers - 0/10

Looks bad. One of the few of these which are very easy to recognize as a specific model of airplane - this is clearly a 747, based on the inclusion of the hump. There is a reason basically none of the others are trying to be a 747. Adding a weird lump to the front of your emoji doesn't really make it any less weird-looking, and rendering a plane from above tends to be weird-looking already. It looks like she was stung by a bee.

JoyPixels - 6.5/10

As with the WhatsApp red, I appreciate anything setting itself aside in color, so I have to compliment the choice of this sort of toothpastey green. This is one of the better simplified airplanes we've gone over today, and the only thing I really dislike is that it has the same issues with the tailfin Facebook does.

Toss Face - 0/10

I can barely tell this is supposed to be an airplane. It makes me want to, excuse the mental image, toss face.

JoyPixels Animations - 10/10

Now THIS is what I'm talking about! Just a nice little pixel aircraft, doing the same sort of smooth wriggling as the Skype airplane - no criticisms.

Sony PlayStation - small/10

Adequate, but too small to really assess further - but the fact that I don't dislike anything about it is honestly a credit at this point.

Noto Emoji Font - 3.5/10

This just looks like the Samsung emoji but rendered with plain lines. Removing detail from these tends to improve them.

OpenMoji - 0/10

Oh, no, I take it back! Too few details! It's like a torpedo with wings awkwardly stapled on. A really phallic one at that.

emojidex - what the hell/10

I think this more or less looks fine, and the livery it has also looks fine, but I'm so thrown off by the fact that I don't think this is a real airplane. I am obviously not an authority on every model of airplane ever built but I'm reasonably sure this isn't a real one. It most resembles a BAe 146/Avro RJ, the only four-engined t-tail plane intended for passengers rather than heavy cargo. But the 146/RJ has high wings, located above the cabin windows, so...what is this airplane? What does emojidex know that they're not telling us?

Messenger - 7/10

While not ugly per se, it's a bit futuristic for my taste. Still, the choice to model it from a position other than directly from the top avoids a lot of the pitfalls that make many of these so bad to look at.

LG - 4/10

Boring? Yeah, without question. But this is just a good representation of an airplane, and at this point I'll accept that. Does the tail thing, though.

HTC - 3/10

Something about the way this is shaped makes this look more like a rocketship than an airplane. Or a Convair Pogo.

SoftBank - 5/10

A decent pictoral representation of an airplane. See: LG. Fixes the tail thing.

Docomo - 5.5/10

Also a decent pictoral representation of an airplane, but I think rendering it in silhouette gets rid of many of the pitfalls associated with airplane emojis. No details to mess up, just the shape of an airplane. Why do the majority of these have four engines? Seriously, there are only three four-engine airliners in passenger service right now. Have the people designing these not flown since the early aughts?

au by KDDI - 2.5/10

Okay, I know I've been saying being a good representation of an airplane is good enough but this is just simplifying too far. This isn't an emoji, it's a unicode character.

Mozilla - 1/10

Why pointy but only sometimes? Why does the tail pinch in like that? It's ugly, Mozilla, you made an ugly one.

Unused Assets from Resident Evil Village

Okay, let's talk RE8's cut content some more.

Every key item and treasure you can pick up in RE8 comes with a small icon (to be shown when you pick it during gameplay), a larger icon (to be shown in the items menu), and a 3D model (that you can examine and rotate). And the game files still contain a number of unused assets in those tiny icons, and even more unused assets in the larger icons. Still more were surely deleted before the game was released (id numbers do not go up sequentially), but here's some of the more interesting ones that were left.

Miranda's research books on the Four Lords

Obviously, these books can still be found and read in the game, but can't be added to your inventory, so why would they have icons at all? Presumably, at some point in development, these were intended to be items Ethan would collect in each lord's individual domain.

Stranger still, the icon versions appear without the family crests decorating their covers, which are separate objects instead. Perhaps originally, you'd have to find the crests separately, and use them as keys to open the books? Or perhaps you'd have to remove those crests from the cover on picking up the book, to use as keys elsewhere ‒ maybe even as keys that you'd need to use to extract the rose flasks, which each feature crests of about the same size.

Even stranger still, for the four books, only three crests appear in the icons ‒ Heisenberg's is missing. All these objects appear both in the small-and-medium icon files, so this seems pretty deliberate. Perhaps the horse relief you create using the molding machine originally played the same role for Heisenberg? Or ‒ if I'm right about the crests being used to unlock the Rose flasks ‒ perhaps Heisenberg's was never attached to his book, because he deliberately leaves the completed flask for Ethan to find in the Stronghold?

The Goat Crest

This one I've talked about already ‒ originally, there were to be three crests needed to open the gate to Dimitrescu's castle, rather than the surviving two, the third (on the left) being the goat's head.

A few miscellaneous oddities

Some of the more random unused assets include Moreau's movie poster for 'Ice Castles', which I've talked about elsewhere, an odd-looking bunch of flowers, and what appears to be a hair clip. Possibly all treasure items, possible keys to some puzzle ‒ maybe the hair clip could even be unfolded and used to pick a lock or something?

There area a few unused key-shaped assets in the files, though most look like unfinished placeholder. But this one, a key covered in cog-shaped designs, looks a lot more finished. Maybe it was an early design for a key used in Heisenberg's domain?

Much stranger is this weird brick-shaped asset, featuring what look like unfinished-polygon-sides and a bizarre image that looks like a man's face entrapped in mould. It could well have been another puzzle item, presumably meant to be slotted into a missing square in some larger feature ‒ but it's a weird-looking thing even by RE standards.

Disassembled Dolls

You remember the Madalina doll you pick up two pieces and assemble? Well, evidently there was originally another one, which came in three pieces.

And because those pieces could be assembled in various orders, we've got three different extra icons of it in partial/complete assembled state (the same is true for Dimitrescu's necklace, which needs two extra stones added to it for completeness).

Harp Carvings

Another interesting one ‒ two harp-shaped-carving decorations, one in gold, and one in stone and apparently broken. I'm guessing these were key items like the angel masks, which would have to be attached to or removed from some statue. Maybe the stone one could be used to replace the gold one, which could be sold as a treasure?

Assets from Resident Evil 7

These two are both assets that originally appeared in RE7 ‒ the lighter only in the Daughters DLC (appears closed, but note the identical texturing at the bottom), though the syringe was used both for the serum used to cure Mia and/or Zoe, and (with the contents recoloured to green) the E-necrotoxin eventually used to defeat Eveline.

A lighter is such a generic survival horror element that it barely warrants comment ‒ maybe it was needed for some of the fire-related puzzles in some earlier draft. But the syringe is more interesting, especially as it's one of a minority of unused assets that also appears in the mini-icons, suggesting it may have made it even closer to the finished game.

The syringe appears near the end of the list of required-key-items, suggesting it may have shown up at the end of the game. Was it, like in RE7, supposed to contain a necrotoxin that would have been used to help defeat Miranda? Was the original reason that Miranda suddenly cries "What? My powers are leaving me!" because someone had got her with the needle? Even if that would have explained a minor plothole, I'm kind of glad they left it out: we didn't need to defeat Miranda the exact same way as Eveline in RE7.

Treasure Photos

Finally the unused assets include one extra treasure photo (left below) ‒ another blue bird similar to the one that gives you 'juicy game' from the photo that remains (on the right). Oddly, the extra photo shows the same location where you find the remaining photo of the bird in game. Maybe finding the bird was originally a two-step process, with one photo leading you to the location of the second? Or maybe you needed two lots of 'juicy game' earlier in development? Maybe there was just not enough meat in that tiny little bluebird without a second being needed, IDK ('juicy game', my foot).

Surprisingly, all four photos come with descriptive text in other files, and it differs from the text that's actually in the game. The unused versions are written in first person rather than third, to sound more like some villager's report: "I saw a strange bird by the graveyard. Never seen anything like it before" rather than, "A photo of a bird as blue as the sky. Where was it taken?"

"The phantom golden fish! Saw it down in the creek!" "I saw a strange bird by the graveyard. Never seen anything like it before." "I saw a strange bird when I left the outhouse, but the moment I got close, it vanished like a specter." "It was sunset in the fields when I saw it, a pig as white as snow! A bad omen…"

Interestingly, the game files also include a whole lot of unused dialogue for the Duke that suggests he was originally meant to sell information in addition to his other supplies, upgrades and food ‒ "You won't come across this information just anywhere," "A little bird whispered this to me," and "Not to presume, but some advice if I may." It's possible that at some point Ethan had to buy information on treasure locations from the Duke, rather than him giving them to you for free ‒ but it's very possible that these treasure photos, too, at some point had to be bought from the Duke, and the text associated differed to play more into the 'buying information' idea. Pure speculation here, but it would all add up!

THORNTON GREY, 2.5K TRIS & 256x TEX

Worldbuilding and cg autism under the cut

This is Thornton Grey, a character of mine I've had for around 15 years now. He's from a more or less retired worldbuilding universe of mine, waiting to be either recycled or refactored. Thornton is one of the dearest characters from that setting (and in all honesty, one of my dearest characters in general) and I tend to keep him in my current brain palette of little men to doodle in various formats.

I've been doing these early cd-3d (aka psx /ps1 etc) styled models for some of my OCs with hopes of eventually ?? learning godot. I guess. I need to get my worldbuilding out to the world so it become property of the grand creative consciousness, aka to affect people with my art the same way people affected me.

The tri count is higher than many people tend to target for this style and i'll probably improve that over time as I make various kinds of assets related to my worldbuilding, but eh who cares lol. The textures are photobashed stock images with details painted over and posterized in photoshop.

Here's some bonus 'march of progress' of my art of him over time.

Lore? Well, many of my characters start out with me being bored or annoyed by a specific trope in media, and he is no exception. He's a few things, but primarily he's my take on the 'little pinocchio robot boy/man who wishes he was a Real human'. Thornton's character addresses more so the preoccupations we as humans have to classify and categories types of people or non-people.

The universe, with the codename Redverse, is set approximately 1920s/1930s alt-earth america. He was child to a pair of grandmaster clocksmiths in the early 1800s whom could not have children of their own, and spent decades producing an analog AI composed of millions of intricate gears assembled with a small cube which composes his brain. He has a small boiler in his trunk that provides power for the various hydraulic systems within his limbs and keeps his brain's clockwork properly wound.

After caring for his elderly parents until their deaths, he took his father's trenchcoat and gun and traveled the country. (why is his gun a german luger? i don't know, i was like 17. it looks cool.)

Computers, robots, ai, etc, are not really a thing in this universe, granted the targeted vague time period. So he's generally regarded by others as an advanced automaton (he basically is.) and as a curiosity. He however has no qualms about being artificial in nature, as he sees it, he has all the makings of the average man -- has parents, has to eat (hard coal for his boiler), and can love. To view him as nonhuman baffles him, and his matter of fact attitude about the issue tends to win over many people he gets to know. Regarded mostly with respect for his kind and empathetic nature within the communities he spends any amount of time in, he's eventually pulled into the underworld of armed resistance forming against the increasing power of a fascist authoritarian regime that has quickly possessed control of the tumultuous american politics.

A tl;dr of this universe is "but what if AMERICA was the nazis". Very clever 17yo me. I'm sure you had a shock of your life when you grew up and learned about america's rancid role in world politics. Thus the retirement and possible refactoring -- I think it can be a compelling alt history universe if I actually learn more about how do to it properly, if i ever revive it. I'm not the first person to do it but maybe I can offer something interesting if at least for the setting of a noir style vibe game.

Anyway, Thornton becomes very involved. So involved, in fact, he becomes essentially the poster child of the resistance movement. And is targeted for it.

Widely hailed as a martyr for his subsequent demise, the resistance movement gets his hands on his thankfully intact head and revive him the best they can. He is unfortunately damaged, and upon revival, starts channeling visions from beyond.

And that is about as far as I got with his story. Perhaps you will see more of him in the future.

[apathmakerstale]

I woke up from a nap and found out one of the foundational pillars of my youth shut down. Damn.

Rooster Teeth was my lifeblood as a teen, and I’ve been a fan from the first time I saw Tex vs RnB’s. RWBY is what made me starting writing. I remembered the exact time I started actually writing down my ideas, Feb 2, 2015 at 3:52 pm after confirmation study, a day after I learned Monty passed. It was a RWBY OC fic that I stopped after I remembered their words to stop focusing on other people’s work and work on your own to build your own brand. I still have it- the writing is meh though -and my first drawings were RWBY characters like the ones below. I owe my artistic creation to that. Maybe I'll post that first fic one day too.

That gave me the time to build up a portfolio of original writing that I will soon be publishing online for myself. It inspired me and still does to this day as I enjoy RWBY and hope it will be finished.

I still listen to Gold, the music from RWBY just inspires such a sense of love from me. It can make me well with tears- which is not something easy do. I was apart of the RWBY WIKI! Back when we called Yang Yellow, and speculated White would be a cold high lady type and not girlfail. The Speculation House was my house. It was the first time I posted anything on the internet.

AND I CALLED IT BACK IN 2013- I CALLED SALEM AND OZPIN- ONE MAN WITH MULTIPLE SOULS A WOMEN WITH NONE!!! I CALLED IT AND EVEN HAD A POST I MEANT TO MAKE BUT I WAS TOO SCARED!!! SIX YEARS AHEAD!!!!!!

Anyway I was a superfan like from 2013-16 I lived and breathed the company, I watched every video, every channel, every podcast, I lived and breathed it. From Cow Chop, Sugar Pine, Funhaus, Gamefails etc. Achievement Hunter was why I came home from school to watch videos. I remember why RTX was a fandom wide event, and every single panel had mind-blowing information about something I loved. I was there for the first GTA V gameplay, and the first video on Let's Play. I have such a distinct memory of sitting down one Friday after school with a bowl of chef boyardee on a cheap white desk covered by a blue rag and chipped dark blue bowl, looking up at the ps3 3d wall-mounted tv, and watching the first Capture the Tower in Minecraft with such glee. It was my childhood.

I followed the King AU fan comic series on here and the FAKE AH crew AU. I was that heavy into it.

I READ A FEW REAL PEOPLE FICS. I was that deep. I've never done that for anyone else even in my deepest fandom days.

I remember being so excited when them and Yogscast paired up, they being another pillar and like them I am still a fan. Those TTT episodes are something special to me.

Like any company it had its flaws, and I remember every single controversy. Every. Single. One. God. I've diminished to someone who just keeps up with podcasts like F**ckFace and Red Web but I still called myself a fan. It was a foundation for me and a stabilizing influence when I was younger. I sincerely hope that the talented people there get help for this.

It only inspires my hatred of Warner Brothers more.

It actually does feel like a chapter has closed and I don't know how to feel about that.

Anyway here's Gold for your heart.

(Archive) Animated movie of the day: Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

Originally posted: January 10th, 2022 Few animators have contributed so much to the craft as Richard Williams. Writer of The Animator's Survival Kit(an absolute, utter MUST read for any aspiring animator), his dominance of perspective is the stuff of legends. Things you see nowadays animated through the assistance of 3D imagery such as camera shifts in moving environments he could animate by hand. And this exceptional capability was put to the test in one of the most complex animated features ever.

While technically a live action film, this movie has as much if not more animated footage given cartoons are integral to the very plot. Rather loosely based on the much darker "Who Censored Roger Rabbit?" novel, this movie is as much of a classic cartoons fan's biggest fantasy as it was a production nightmare, involving characters from classic Fleischer studios, Tex Avery(aka MGM), Warner Brothers and Disney. And it incorporates them in the real world interacting with humans. With a moving camera and scene appropriate lighting. Even with today's technology that is one daunting task, let alone with traditional compositing techniques(Jessica Rabbit's dress was one particular headache).

But of course, impeccable animation and fanservice to animation enthusiasts can only do so much for a film. Fortunately, this movie does have a backbone to it's zany antics. Playing half a buddy cop film, half a noir film, it presents a compelling enough crime mystery that also involves a surprisingly human protagonist in Eddie(and not just because he's an actual person). Bob Hoskins manages to thread the balance between the comedy and the genuinely tragic backstory of his character, making the seemingly absurd premise work. Same goes for Cristopher Lloyd. He's a lovable goofball as Emmet Brown, but here he's genuinely terrifying.

While a resounding success, given that stars had to align to even make this film possible at all, we'll never see something like it again.

Fixing The Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequels

Lets be honest. The franchise is a mess and it's never going to reach the heights of the original or even the remake. The 3D timeline is an abomination and 2022 is just awful. I love TCM 2, and 3 has some great bits. But god is 4 embarrassing. So let's try to fix them.

So I looked up Hooper and Henkel's original concept for TCM 2.

It was going to be named 'Beyond The Valley of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' and originally involved an entire town full of cannibals, not just the Sawyer family. And the Hitchhiker survived and was supposedly tied to a tree by the family due to his injuries. And Sally was slated to return as well.

In my opinion they could've done this for the third and fourth movies.

It would be an easy explanation to have the town of Newt be cannibals and instead of Leatherface suddenly having new family members, he goes to known associates of the family, "neighbors" if you will.

Leatherface somehow survived and is taken in by the Slaughter Family's "Neighbors" the Sawyers.

Chop-Top is the family member who's taken alive.

Those neighbors would be Tex, Alfredo and Tinker.

Leatherface would have severe burns from the grenade and a hole in his stomache.

And instead of Sally, it's Stretch, cause Sally is institutionalized.

Stretch and Benny would work together to save Michelle

In the Next Generation. An easy fix is that.

Leatherface is in the Grandpa role. Gunnar Hansen would return to play him.

The whole "Illuminati" conspiracy is just the town conspiracy of the town cannibals.

There would be a side plot of Stretch meeting Sally. She fills her in on everything that happened. Lefty's death and the cannibal town of Newt.

The new Leatherface is the daughter from TCM3 and instead of being cringey and awful, she is completely and utterly unhinged and enjoys it more than Bubba ever did. The best part? She's takes her doll's name, Sally. The final mockery of the one who got away.

Vilmer and W.E are the other members of this new family with the Mayor of Newt as the matriarch and she bares the conspiracy for all to hear. Claims that "cannibalism is the trade and life stock of this town. Always has been. The Slaughter Family was the backbone, they inspired the rest of us."

And then a returning Chop-Top as the guest of honor.

An aged Bubba makes happy cannibal noises at his brother's arrival.

"Far out Bubba, you're the new Grandpa!"

Chop-Top tells Bubba and the new Leatherface "it's time to kill the fucking bitch"

Stretch comes to the rescue and blasts the family, killing W.E, Vilmer and head cannibal Mayor.

While the new Leatherface chases after Jenny and Chop-Top proclaims he's gonna finish what he started all those years ago.

…and Bubba finally finds the strength to get up. He even puts on the old Pretty woman mask and takes his old chainsaw. They won't get away, not this time. "dog will hunt" as his brother always said. This is for Nubbins. For Drayton and for Grandpa.

They chase Stretch, Jenny and Michelle throughout the town. The slaughterhouse, the old Slaughter farmhouse and the mental hospital where Sally is waiting for them.

It ends with Jenny and Michelle double teaming killing the younger Leatherface, Sally shoots Bubba in the chest with a shotgun and Sally saws his fucking head off and finally, Stretch kills Chop-Top

"Any last words?"

"The saw is fami-" Stretch shoots him in the head.

Stretch, Michelle, Jenny and Sally all leave from a safe distance. Stretch gets a call on her walkie talkie from Benny

"Are you safe? over"

"Yes, I got Michelle and the latest survivor and even Sally. We're all at a safe distance to watch the fireworks over"

"Good, over"

and Benny presses the button and suddenly the entire town of Newt blows the fuck up. A result of Benny planting C4 all around the town of Newt and finally ending the Cannibal town.

End of franchise

This is a neat way to end the series, or at least the original timeline Cause

the original timeline never declines in quality.

Leatherface stays consistent in the first three movies, passes down the saw to his adoptive daughter and returns for one final massacre

All the survivors return for one final confrontation with the town

Chance for All-American Massacre to happen

One big family reunion

And a proper conclusion to the franchise...that will never be fucked up by shitty sequels

[charlieslowartsies]

This might be a dumb question, but if the Knight Guard AU were to become a show, what style would you want it in? Would you want it live action or animated, and if animated, what style? 

ohh Anon my college thesis was basically "lemme tell you why animation is SO IMPORTANT TO ADULTS AND CAN TEACH US THINGS" SO NO THIS IS NOT A DUMB QUESTION. I think I'd always imagined KGA as an animated series--leaning toward a mixture of Don Bluth with Atlantis mixed in. A TINY bit of animated Beetlejuice with Tex Avery for the Marionette. (His mask is mostly unmoving except in extreme situations, so making him more fluid everywhere else would stand out nicely I think against the other animatronics.) Hand drawn but mixed with 3D elements as needed. If you've seen An American Tail, the Mouse of Minsk is how I picture the elements of creepy.
