#makin him a 3d model

[c4rn1-g0r3z]

I GOT A GRAPHIC TABLET EHEHEHEHHE

IM IN IMMENSE ANGY

[razzmothazz]

unit shuffle with a unit of kanade, nene and toya but instead of makin music theyre a streamer trio with toya being a faceless streamer and with kanade and nene being vtubers or whatev u call em [kanade has a 2d one thats more like game sprites made by ena and nene has a full 3d model with robonene as a mascot made by rui]

i imagine it turns into them finally somehow coming up with an idea to make music together with kanade and toya being the composers and nene singing the lyrics later on because tbh a lot of streamers and youtubers do that anyway

also just because i wanted to add someone else here too that would give them some energy im throwing tsukasa in there who at first toya just got to help with lyrics but later on he joined in for some streams as a guest and people loved him so he started streaming and became a permanent part of the group too

their sekai would probably be an arcade game place i think

Machina - Test World: Chapter 2

Location: ES Information Room Characters: Mika, Sora & Makoto

Sora: Sora has come to play, Yuuki-sensei~!

Makoto: Sora-kun? I thought you were gonna play outside today.

Sora: HaHa~ Sora was playing with a flying kite at first.

But Sora then coincidentally met Mika-chan-san, so there’s been a change of plans~♪

Makoto: “Mika-chan-san”...? Are you referring to Kagehira-kun?

Mika: Ngh, umm…

Makoto: Ahaha. So you were hiding behind the door, huh. There’s no need to be shy – you can just come right on in.

Sora: Mika-chan-san, are you feeling shy? It’s okay, Yuuki-sensei is super nice~♪

Mika: Ngh, it’s not that. I’ve met Mako-kun before.

I’m not shy… Well, that’s not completely untrue.

But I’m just nervous wonderin’ if it’s okay for me to step inside a room with such tight security.

The information room always seemed like a place where there’s delicate equipment and sensitive information, so I’m worried I might accidentally break somethin’.

Makoto: I guess this area does have a lot of messy cables.

It’s fine even if you accidentally step on them strongly. Don’t worry and come sit over here.

Mika: Thanks. Then I guess I’ll sit right next to ya.

So are you involved in this “Test World” thing too, Mako-kun? You’re good at playin’ video games so is that why?

Makoto: Yup, that’s more or less the reason.

Thanks to me being a member of the Game Research Club, “Switch” asked me if I’d do a part-time job test playing their games.

The “Test World” is a fresh and disorderly game so they want a lot of gamers to play and expand the community.

Sora: Yes! If all the gamers are like Yuuki-sensei, then we’ll have no issues leaving them to test the game!

Sora was really into the “Test World” with Yuuki-sensei over the winter holidays~♪

Makoto: He was more like a volunteer, though. I never had a bored moment in my life thanks to him.

Anyway, the sun will set if we keep chatting.

Let’s put on those VR goggles and enter the “Test World”.

Sora: Oh, right! Let’s log in right away!

Mika-chan-san, you can use this spare pair of goggles ♪

Mika: Oh, okay. Thanks.

I’ve just gotta put them on, right? Hmm…

Mika: !?

Ngh, what’s this!? Isn’t this Season Avenue!?

Mika: *Pant, pant…* That was VR, right?

Sora: Yes… Was there something wrong with the goggles?

Mika: No… I was just surprised ‘cause everythin’ looked so real. It was also someplace I’m familiar with compared to the last time I tried “SSVRS”.

Sora: HiHi~ Sora is glad it was something good for you ♪

There are changes made to “SSVRS” day in and day out, so the 3D models are more accurate compared to before~

To be precise, the way you see things through the goggles has been revised without increasing the polygons, so it isn’t a huge burden on the servers and it feels more comfortable~

Makoto: It’s pretty technologically advanced. I was really surprised when I saw “SSVR” for the first time.

I had a lot of fun thanks to that… It’d be nice if someone who doesn’t usually play games found it fun too.

Kagehira-kun. I’ll meet you in Season Avenue right away in “SSVRS”, so can you put on the goggles and wait for me?

Mika: Okay. Sorry for makin’ such a fuss. I’ll go back.

[ Location: Season Avenue (SSVRS) ]

Mika: Alright. Is this okay?

Sora: HuHu~♪ That’s perfect, Mika-chan-san!

Let’s start by walking around the VR world. This town that’s modelled after Season Avenue has a lot of different shops~♪

Mika: Ohh… The stores in the area look exactly like the ones in real life, but they sell different things.

Stylish clothes and accessories – there are furniture too. Ah, I see a “mascot character”!

Wow. Everythin’ here is made for VR.

Sora-kun, what’s this “VL$” that’s written over here? Is it somethin’ different from the “L$” that we use…?

Sora: Ah, good question! That’s “VL$ (Virtual Lidollar)” – It’s a virtual currency that replaces real-life money.

Mika: Virtual currency?

Sora: Yes. It’s digital money that’s connected to the real world~

Mika: Digital… money?

I don’t understand what that is. How’s that different from normal money?

Makoto: Real-life money is issued by the country and is only valid based on the country’s trust. The version that’s issued in games or VR is called “virtual currency”.

…Oh, sorry for barging in on the conversation. You guys were on an interesting topic, so I ended up joining in without saying hi.

Virtual currency is tricky but, put simply, it’s like a system that allows you to exchange game money for real-life money.

Its value isn’t very stable and it can be disadvantageous as it can come crashing down like stock prices, so we have to be careful about it in “SSVRS”. It’s also only allowed to be used within the “Test World”.

…Right, Harukawa-kun?

Sora: Nice explanation, Yuuki-sensei~!

It basically means the products that are sold at the stores are only turned into “VL$” in this “Test World” and you can use them in real life too.

Feedback from the test players has been pretty positive thanks to that~ They’re making a lot of digital art.

And if you place what you made in a 3D printer, you can see it in real life! You can have fun and try lots of things out, Mika-chan-san~♪

Mika: I see – so I can make it digitally and also see it in real life… I think I can keep my promise to Oshi-san this way ♪

Alrighty, I’m startin’ to get inspired! I’ll try makin’ somethin’ in this “Test World”!

If it sells, I can exchange it for real-life money and that’ll add to “Valkyrie’s” budget. Oshi-san should be happy with that ♪

It’s like hittin’ two birds with one stone. Thanks for tellin’ me ‘bout this, Sora-kun, Mako-kun ♪

Sims is a series of life simulation video games developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts. The franchise has sold nearly 200 million copies worldwide, and it is one of the best-selling video game series of all time.[1]The games in the Sims series are largely sandbox games, in that they lack any defined goals (except for some later expansion packs and console versions which introduced this gameplay style). The player creates virtual people called "Sims," places them in houses, and helps direct their moods and satisfy their desires. Players can either place their Sims in pre-constructed homes or build them themselves. Each successive expansion pack and game in the series augmented what the player could do with their Sims.The Sims series is part of the larger Sim series, started by SimCity in 1989. Game designer Will Wright was inspired to create a "virtual doll house" after losing his home during the Oakland firestorm of 1991 and subsequently rebuilding his life.[2][3] Replacing his home and his other possessions made him think about adapting that life experience into a game. When Wright initially took his ideas to the Maxis board of directors, they were skeptical and gave little support or financing for the game. The directors at Electronic Arts, which bought Maxis in 1997, were more receptive—SimCity had been a great success for them, and they foresaw the possibility of building a strong Sim franchise.[2]Wright has stated that The Sims was actually meant as a satire of U.S. consumer culture.[4] Wright took ideas from the 1977 architecture and urban design book A Pattern Language, American psychologist Abraham Maslow's 1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation and his hierarchy of needs, and Charles Hampden-Turner's Maps of the Mind to develop a model for the game's artificial intelligence.[2] The Sims was the first game in the series. Developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts, it was released for Microsoft Windows on February 4, 2000.[5] The game used dimetric projection and featured open-ended simulation of the daily activities of one or more virtual persons ("Sims") in a suburban area near SimCity. Seven expansion packs and two deluxe editions with exclusive content were released. It was repackaged in several different formats, and different versions of it were released on several different platforms. By March 22, 2002, The Sims had sold more than 6.3 million copies worldwide, surpassing Myst[6] as the best-selling PC game in history at the time. The original game, all seven expansion packs, and the two deluxe edition content packs constitute the first generation of the PC. Maxis developed all PC releases. By February 2005, the game had shipped 16 million copies worldwide.[7]

The Sims 2 (2004)[edit]

Main article: The Sims 2

Electronic Arts released The Sims 2 on September 14, 2004. The sequel, developed by Maxis, takes place in a full 3D environment as opposed to the dimetric projection of the original game. Sims age through seven life stages, from infancy to old age and subsequent death. Another major feature is the aspiration system. Each Sim exhibits wants and fears according to its aspiration and personality. Consequently, the level of the aspiration meter determines the effectiveness of a Sim at completing tasks. The fulfillment of wants provides aspiration points, which can be used to purchase aspiration rewards. The game also features clear days of the week, with weekends when children can stay home from school and vacation days when adults can take time off work.

The Sims 2 is set some 25 years after the original game. For instance, the Goth family has aged significantly with Bella Goth mysteriously vanishing ("dying") at some point in the 25 years. Because the entire game has progressed from 2D sprites to 3D models, all content in The Sims 2 had to be created from the ground up. Due to this, The Sims 2 was not made backward-compatible with any content from the first generation of the main series. However, some objects and features from the original series were remade for the sequel.

Electronic Arts released eight expansion packs and nine stuff packs for The Sims 2. Over 400 items were also released for the game via The Sims 2 Store. Also, items, including pre-order items, were released over the life cycle of this generation.

The Sims 2 had received eight expansion packs:

University

Nightlife

Open for Business

Pets

Seasons

Bon Voyage

The Sims 3 (2009)[edit]

Main article: The Sims 3

Electronic Arts released The Sims 3 on June 2, 2009.[8] The sequel was announced by EA in November 2006. The game is set 25 years before the original game and features an open, seamless neighborhood, improved Sim creation tools, enhanced build and buy mode functions, and the introduction of wishes and goals. The game introduced a new form of directed gameplay through small, step-wise goals presented as opportunities for the player to pursue or refuse. The Sims 3 sold 1.4 million copies in the first week, making it the largest release in PC gaming history at the time.[9]

The Sims 3 is set 25 years before the Sims 1. For example, the Goth family is much younger, and Bella Goth, an adult in the first game, is a child and is named Bella Bachelor.

Eleven expansion packs and nine stuff packs were released for the third generation of the series. Also, many items are available online for additional fees at The Sims 3 Store.

The Sims 3 had received eleven expansion packs:

The release date of September 2, 2014, was announced at E3 2014.

As of November 2020, ten expansion packs, nine game packs and seventeen stuff packs have been released, and updates have added content that was previously absent due to time constraints, such as basements, ghosts, pools, modular stairs, toddlers, new careers, terrain tools and additional skintones.

Spin-offs[edit]

The Sims Online[edit]

Main article: The Sims Online

In December 2002, Electronic Arts released the Maxis-developed The Sims Online, later named EA Land. It recreates The Sims as a massively multiplayer online game, where human players can interact with each other. The spin-off did not achieve the same level of success as the original. Reviews for The Sims Online were lackluster; many likening its experience to an enormous chat room. On August 1, 2008, EA Land was shut down.

The Sims Stories[edit]

Main articles: The Sims Life Stories, The Sims Pet Stories, and The Sims Castaway Stories

The Sims Stories is a series of video games from The Sims series released in 2007–2008 based on a modified version of The Sims 2 engine. The modified game engine is optimized for play on systems with weaker specifications, such as laptops. As such, its system requirements are lower than that of The Sims 2, but it can still be played on desktops.[11] The series is introduced mainly for three segments of the market: those who wish to play The Sims 2 on their laptops (which usually have lower specifications); those who wish to engage in other activities such as instant messaging while playing the game, and; those who are new to the franchise. In addition to a Free Play mode with classic, open-ended gameplay, the games contain a structured, linear Story mode where players are required to complete a series of goals to progress in the storyline. While Life Stories and Pet Stories each contain two separate stories, Castaway Stories contains one story that is double the length of any one story in the first two games. As an introductory series, major features are removed or modified from those in The Sims 2. For example, fears are completely removed in all three games, and the elder life stage is completely removed in Pet Stories. Officially, the save files from this series are not compatible with the main The Sims 2 games. However, players have experienced success in adapting some files.

Three games have been released to date.[12]

The Sims Carnival[edit]

Main article: The Sims Carnival

The Sims Carnival was a casual game brand of The Sims. It had two separate product lines. First, it was an online community of crowd-sourced web games. Second, it was a line of packaged game titles sold via retail stores and digital download.

The Sims Medieval[edit]

Main article: The Sims Medieval

The Sims Medieval is an action role-playing spin-off game released in 2011. It is set in medieval times, and although it is based on The Sims 3 engine, it plays very differently. The Sims Medieval has one expansion pack, Pirates and Nobles.

The Sims Social[edit]

Main article: The Sims Social

Launched in August 2011, The Sims Social was a Flash-based game developed by Playfish for Facebook. EA announced the game was upgraded from Beta to Live status in a press release issued on August 23, 2011.[13] Due to players' negative responses, the game has been shut down and was removed from Facebook on June 14, 2013.

Bust Out Mode, which has mission-based gameplay, and Freeplay Mode is open-ended gameplay very much like the original The Sims PC game. The second Sims game was not on the PC; it was a follow up to The Sims, which was very similar to Bustin' Out, except the aims were shifted to getting job promotions and constantly fulfilling goals to get ahead in the game. The PlayStation 2 version also features the option to play online, though EA no longer supports it.

The Urbz: Sims in the City is a game focused on Sims living in an urban setting, presumably within Sim City. The player must earn a reputation and complete tasks for characters.

[gal-vanized]

that last post abt the traffic mages reminded me how YEARS back i like... had an idea for a melee weapon in tf 2. it was a "dead end" road sign ripped outta the ground (geddit. cuz you use the "dead end" to make guys dead. end)

anyways i specifically remember trying to contact some fuckin. tf 2 3d modeller or w/e to talk to him about makin it. but he deleted my comment from his steam page and blocked me. which is kinda funny to me now in retrospect

[cerealmonster15]

3 answered here!

6. tag your favorite artists/inspirations!

hell yes i love an excuse to gush over friends and mutuals and people i admire that i’ve never spoken to outside of leaving tags in their posts, he l l o :

@gdipalomo first of all, loving wonderful friend and extremely talented individual!! her art fascinates me with how much detail goes into every piece, and especially the backgrounds- those are GOALS. i love how everything she makes has depth and looks like it’s had a great amount of time and care put into it all. shes also incredibly supportive towards me about my life and my art and i adore her c’:

im counting writing as art and my pal @kidzbopmallcop is excellent at writing The Fanfics and does a good job with staying close to characterization and making sure each aspect of the story is well thought out and considered when putting it together. VERY COOL and shes a GREAT BUD

@fandomescapades keeps making me  CRY every damned time they post things, omfg. such a beautiful art style- i looove how they draw facial expressions and faces in general. their use of color is also just absolutely gorgeous and i want to stare at each art post for like 50 years….

@artsyorangeykay has really cool au ideas and draws them out beautifully!!!! they have a cool art style that reminds me of a cartoony kind of comic book, and they have lovely and well thought out looking character designs for their facecanons of rvb characters, and i love seeing the little comics they make  to fit aus or people’s prompts!! their passion for their aus and how excited they get when people are talkin about the mermaid au with them is so refreshing and it’s always nice seeing new art from them.

SO GOOD to see such STELLAR ART for my FAVE RED BOYS and such a rare pair ;w; they have incredibly unique and GORGEOUS facecanons for donut and lopez and many others, and it’s cool seeing their overwatch art too. i’ve seen people using their 3D models for rvb animations, and as someone who’s finally started 3D modeling/animation classes in college, i’ve found that really cool and inspiring to see such neato burrito creations like that. i’m so mesmerized with their cool and creative art style and i dream of being half that creative and skilled one day.

i think @powerfulpomegranate drew a picture of like, a super strechy simmons and squash grif and it was like, the best thing i’d ever seen i laughed so much. they’re yet another person that absolutely astounds me with what a wide range of amazing skill they have with like, cartoony yet beautifully done doodles, to like, incredibley detailed digital paintings. i LOVE the wild facial expressions they can draw sometimes, and there’s also like, this soft sweet gif of animation they did once of tucker in the car with i think wash, caboose, and maybe junior was there? like, drivin late at night with a light flashing by and it was just. it was so gorgeous, yall.  every time i stumble upon it i stare at it so long thinking about how every aspect of that was put together and how much time it must’ve taken, even for just a few seconds. it’s so soft and calming and comforting to watch, so Peaceful and beautiful. i love it and i love their art…also im pretty sure theyre the person who’s FC of smith made me think of gordon from thomas the tank engine and i’ve literally never been able to forget that LOL (it’s really good tho) (i love it)

okokok i think i should stop here bc im sure there are like 5000 people i could think of, but i went with the ones i see most often and think about a lot, but i assure yall i know of SO MANY MORE talented people and these are just the first billion of wonderful beautiful super skilled individuals that come to mind.

…anyway. other question.

8. show us at least 2-3 drawings from 1-2 years ago.

…CRIES. CRIIIEEESSSSS oh my god lol. i’m glad my older sketchbooks are at home bc there are some MESSY MESSES in there but heyooo, i can show you the firstish digital drawing i did of donut (like, when i first tried drawing with a tablet) from 2 years ago next month, and then the redraw i did a year later
