#program recomendations

[shadensp]

There are other programs to use, any hex editor I Believe will work but I'm not familiar myself with that type of hexing. The most common programs(the ones you'll be able to find help in the easiest) would be

LNZ Pro (LNZ)

&

PetzWorkshop (PW)

Both are from Sherlock Software. Free download.

Also from there if you don't already have it is PetzA which is a life saver. Highly recommend. And Tinker if you want to get into toyz hexing.

For hexing I also highly recommend Brynn's Autospotter(for random spots) and the anchor utility(it is a life saver for anchoring and texturing paintballs especially if you have more than say a few).

They can be downloaded at fleabagz.

These three were done using all the above programs. They aren't breed files, just petz but still.

Yessss play petz again it’s so good

Ikr, I love it!!!!! I played Dogz 4 and Dogz 5 when I was a kid, I loved taking pics of them and dressing them up and making those cute little webpages haha

Later on, I got back into it and started downloading hexed breeds and playing around with that. I've been wanting to make my own hexed breeds but idk how to do that, is there a program I'd need to use?

Your art style makes me feral /pos. Do you mind if I ask what art program/brush you use? :0

I hate my instructor for my DPL2 class so soooo much heres why under the cut if you want admin drama lol

The first thing she did was borderline agressively start to bash on my bff's logo redesign for the esports section of the school saying the colours werent right or they were off

...my brother in christ THE COLOURS WERE STRAIGHT FROM THE SOURCE SHE PULLED HEXCODES!!! HEXCODES!!!

Eugh then she complains about review taking way too long and we have like 4 things to do and we couldnt even do all of it like-- im SORRY 3 OF US (INCLUDING ME) TOOK THE FIRST LEVEL COURSE 2 YEARS AGO AND DONT REALLY REMEMBER JACK SHIT???

Eugh it sucks so so bad. At least she dropped those two last assignments.

Oh and icing on the top? She went to another instructor (the one who taught my DPL1 class 2 years ago) and said, "this is the worst start of the year EVER."

Like yes, many things are happening and many of your students do t remember and IT is being thrown around and we cant have what we need atm but please, please, PLEASE do not SAY that when you just complained about not getting everything done in DPL2 and for the love of christ maybe dont spend 20 mins bragging about your skillset that took years to master??? Then take a 10 min break. This class is only about 2 hours long, woman.

Do you have any recommendations for free writing programs? Because of the rise of ai i don't trust Microsoft Word or Google Docs anymore, but i want to get back to writing. I prefer when i can reach my files online/mobile like docs.

EDIT: I've already got my pick so no need for other recomendations but i want to leave this post so others could look in the comments as a little resource collection

MANY people sugested Ellipsus, i would add Reedsy as interesting alternative too, tho if you still have something else to recommend, feel free to do so :>

Is blender hard for 3D beginners? I’ve been interested in modeling but anything good looks like it takes so much experience and skill

I might say that pretty much every 3D program is hard for beginners. My recomendation is that you start with Blender. It is true that the interface might look intimidating at first because it has a lot of options, lots of them being not only used for modeling but also things like animation, but when you learn where everything is it is not harder than other modeling programs. Some things can even be easier to do in Blender than in other more seemly "beginner-friendly" programs as it is really flexible.

A little guide on How I Use Clozemaster

Some of you may have noticed that I mention Clozemaster quite often in my posts. And you may be wondering - how can I use it, when in fact it's pretty darn chaotic and shouldn't help in any way at all?

Well, I'm about to tell you! And haha, don't mind that everything in the screenshots is very “fresh” - I created a new account purely for my pc.

First, you can use it as a simple grammar repetition. Not as a standalone, it will not help you learn the language on it's own, nothing will, but simultaneously with another source of learning, idealy - book or course - it will do wonders.

Are you too lazy to write flashcards? Are you busy with your regular life? Honestly, feel ya. Sometimes I am just not in the mood tbh.

In this case, Clozemaster can give you a pretty good number of possible phrases that you can even use later in your regular life. You can run up to 3 lessons for free daily, 10 cards in each, but i recomend using for this kind of learning only 2/3. Why? Bc for 3rd, you can train your listening.

What you need to do is to pick "Listening", and also - get yourself some notebook/tablet/literally anything on which you can write, and pick two very different colors. For me it's usually black/blue for my attempts, and red for corrections.

Next, listen to the phrase the program is saying and write down what you think you hear. Yes, even if you have absolutely no idea what in the unliving hell they are sayin. Write something down, anything. Next, when you get a chance to “type” what you hear, you enter it into the program, and it corrects your mistakes for you, and basically tells you the answer.

Here's a few of my own! And I already feel like you want to ask me - Neri, but there's an option in the program itself to type the answer, why bother writing in one color and then correcting it with another?

Because, love, hear me out: you typed the answer, and that's it. Out of sight, out of mind. And so, you are left with no the physical manifestation of what you were able to recognize, guess, or on what part you've screwed up.

This is very important to have in front of your eyes, especially when inevitably you will get better and better at that.

And also, you can literally watch the progress of your own understanding. For example, last time I didn't forget the umlaut in the word, but this time I did - why? Was I simply tired and did not paid enough attention? Did I confuse it with another word? I didn't understand what the phrase sounded like and heard a different one? These are very important questions to ask yourself.

In the end, it's a very useful little program to use - and the 30 words a day that the free version provides (i.e., in my case, 20 simple cards and 10 listening cards) is more than enough for a marathon.

After all, remember, language learning is not a race, it's a marathon. A slow but persistent person will reach the end, where a sprinter will run out of steam.

Okay apologies for hopping on tag trending train but I have an important request.

If you don't know about the history of Aboriginal genocide in Australia, watch this program.

It's a very very hard watch but one that is important.

If you're outside of Australia, make sure to set your VPN to Aus. You may also need to set an acount for SBS but it's free viewing.

I would also recomend most of SBS's docos through NITV, as they're the National Indigenous broadcast station.

A little update on the warnings before I forget. I'm a little pressed for time so this is from my DM's with someone I've shared with.

I just wanted to give a heads up that the show contains footage of a mourning ceremony (with the grievers's permission from what I remember). There is also a segment where stolen remains are returned to their families but there is no appearence of the remains themselves on screen. From what I can tell/remember these scenes are treated with care and gravitas but I don't think I can be the one to say whether they were treated appropriately. Anything on colonialism is a hard watch, but this doco particularly follows on the unglamourised brutality of the frontier wars as well the lack of recognition on the wars from the Australian government/military and from the wider Australian public. That's on me for not disclosing that properly in the post.

Wat do you animate with !!? If ur comfortable sharing!!

live2d if you cant afford or get a free copy of live2d(trial or demo ver) i recomend dragon bones , if not i recomend spriter, you can do straight up pixelart with this!! (but bro is limited!!)

heres process, Its A BIT TOO MUCH

I WILL EVENTUALLY DO A YOUTUBE VIDEO THIS IS THE BEST I CAN DO

For the live2d 1. I would make the character in sai/or your program of choice that can export into psd like this, (look into how vtuber models are separated in case you're not sure)

even simple it follows the rules of a regular vtuber model (some features wont be needed like mouth unless you know EXACTLY what you want to do) here is how the last one i made looks like (you can see head, hair, back of the eyes, iris, arms, blush completly separated)

2. Once in live2d you can rig it as a regular vtuber model, add or ignore parameters youre going to use. like for example this one doesnt use x eye movements (eye doesnt move from side to side basically), but i added new ones like the legs (remember to add physics!!!)

3. Now its time to animate, dont worry if you add new parameters to the rig to fit the animation you had in mind it will update as you go on!!! !!! important!! make sure you are using the double size you're going to use for the pixel, if you want your pixel to be 200x200 you'll be using 400x400 when you work in it in live2d!!!!

now use the parameters you did to do the animation

if you want it to loop do it like this (rec!!) copy and paste the first one and the last one.

lastly for give it a pixel art timing look, i rec do this insert frame on the one of the keyframes (most relevant!! look into an animation tutorial to see what i mean!!!)

and now what you are going to do is move it into 3/2 more keyframes so the movement is heavier and more exagerated!!!

once youre happy with the results, export to gif!!!

ALRIGHT FOR THE NEXT PART!!!!!!

4. With the gif in hand send it to https://ezgif.com/gif-to-sprite this will turn your gif into a sprite sheet

heres mine

how what youre going to do is give this sprite sheet to this program Pixelatir (i belive its free!!, at least it was when i got it :O) /i think if its for commissions you need to pay them but look deeper into the TOS if you're invested!!! i heard photoshop does this too but im not sure!!!

you'll have to make the settings right but if you have a palette in mind you can feed it and it will use it!!! when its done, i suggest taking the now pixelated sprite sheet and fixing any small details by hand , like for example in mine i aded some lines and changed hue/saturation by hand!!!

Now you're going to feed it back into https://ezgif.com/sprite-cutter and cut the sprites, if you did it right, thre should be no problem, and it will allow you to make a gif with it!!!

AND that should be all! hope it helped!!

[rhombicubobjectblog]

some assorted angels i thought were very beautiful.

the program is poly 1.12! i highly recomend for polyhedra viewing. its super cool and has so many!!! you can choose the color of the faces as well. you can get it for free at peda.com (pedagoguery software).

incase the text is too small the shapes in order are:

6-frequency icosahedral geodesic hemishere

6-frequency octahedral geodesic sphere

6-frequency icosahedral geodesic sphere

also yay my first post on this blog!!! :]

Hi...!

I saw your game update post and I have to ask, how did you make the character custom thing? I'm a noob in creating games, so honestly the amount of options you've got there terrifed me! It's awesome but the work... Nevermind, would it be possible for you to do a tutorial? Or at least give some tips, or maybe suggest a person who explains stuff like that? I would be very, very thankful 🙈

Btw, amazing job, you're talented ;)

Hello! :3

I don't normally do these on the blog because it's not Kevin/OLiE, if you want to join the OLiE discord server you're welcome to and if you're stuck on someting me or another dev might be able to help out!

But- a small tutorial!

It's just tons of variables and condition switches within condition switches, this is most of them for the customiser! :3

This is the hair colour button. It's action is to increase the "haircolour2" variables number! there are 30 different hair colours. I don't want the button's action to let the variable go past 30 so that's why there's the If statement, which sets the variable back to 1 and then it can go back up to 30 again. ("If(haircolour2 > 29")

the "at customiserbutton" is a transform so I don't have to make a hover/idle image and it's 29392394X cooler than having an image change on hover, there's a very simple guide on doing a transform at the bottom of this ask :3

This is one of the condition switches for a hairstyle, you can display something different for each variable. This condition switch changes the secondary colour for the first straight and short hairstyle. The hair is is uncoloured/greyscale. The image is the same but theres a transform applied to each variable number (" matrixcolor=TintMatrix("#212121")) ") This changes the grey uncoloured hair to like black! The #numbers are a hex/html colour code and you can goog "html colour picker" and goog will give you one. :3

This is a composite. It's like layers in an art program, the first is the bottom and the last is the top layer. For the hair there's three layers, the bottom colour, the second colour, and the line art! The first set of numbers is the size of the image/canvas. The other sets of numbers next to each layer determines the placement of the layer. I've got it set to (0, 0) the first number moves it left/right and the second is up/down, I wanted it to be exactly where I saved it in my art program so I've not increased/decreased the numbers.

that composite then went into a condition switch for each hairlength (hairstyle)! Theres one of these for each hair texture too, then a whole set for the hair on the back of the head, and another set for a few that needed middle layers (parts of the hair behind the head and infront of the body.

Then each of these hairlength condition switches went into another

and finally these hairtex condition switches went to the the displayed image/character/composite!

I fucked up the placement of the eyebrows and the entire character, so that's why the placement for each layer is -15, and the eyebows are 1! Didn't have open everything in my art program and move it! :3

The amount of switches and variables for this was insane and actually managed to lag the game. So I don't know if I can say I'd recomend my stupid way of doing a customiser until I can figure out how to let Renpy/OLiE have some more crumbs of ram to preload the hundreds of images for the customiser Sdkfskdfjl

Have a tip! Add this to the end of every single condition switch!

( "True", "gui/playericon/nothing.png", )

Make it an image that's easy to recognise mines the players thoughts icon. It will display when your variable is set to something your condition switch doesn't have a displayable for (for example if my hair colour variable somehow went over 30) instead of just crashing your game and giving a confusing error code or none at all.

Another is if your game is crashing when you make the condition switch/composite, make sure you've put a capital C and S, ConditionSwitch and Composite, I've made tons of these and still forget a " , " and capitalisation all the time.

Don't get discouraged because your game keeps thowing out errors/crashes that's just how it be, take a few deep breaths and have a break before looking over your code again! :3

I hope some of this was useful lol, and I wish you good luck on your project!!! 🍀🍀🍀

I recently watched The Wild Robot in the cinema, and it was a good I'd recomend. But today I got to thinking about a possible conflict in the Rozzum robots we see in the film.

Rozzum units are programed to complete their assigned task with maximum efficiency. They also have an inhibator that stops them from deliberatly harming a living thing. How is this an issue? In an ideal situation, it isn't. But what about a less than ideal situation?

Say a Rozzum ends up in an abusive situation. A house with a bratty bullting kid who's always harressing them, making things needlessly hard. The Rozzum asks the parents to stop the child, but they either can't or just won't, even when it happens right in front of them.

Oh well, guess the Rozzum will just have to suck it up and keep working regardless. But then the child's actions result in them only completing taskssub-par, or worse, not at all. That's unacceptable, a Rozzum always completes it's task.

The family starts to complain, and the Rozzum has a problem. In order for their tasks to be completed to standard, the child needs to stop bullying the Rozzum, but the child won't listen to the Rozzum and their parents aren't helpful. So the Rozzum will have to make the child stop themself.

But the only way to do that would be to harm the child, and a Rozzum's programing forbids harming a living thing. But if they don't harm the child, it's tasks aren't completed satisfactory, if at all.

Do you see the problem here? It's own programming is at war with itself, and when that happens, what will the Rozzum do? Will it do no harm and allow their tasks to be hindered? Will it harm in self defense to be more efficiant? Either way, it's failing. And what might happen when the programing fails?

Hey uh, what drawing apps do you use/recommend?

I mostly use photoshop and sometimes krita

As far as recomendations go, I don't really like recomending programs since it really does depend on what you are going to use (pc, laptop, android tablet, ipad, you name it) and how you feel about it

But just to list some programs I know about/ have used at some point:

Clip Studio Paint, Infinite Painter, Autodesk, Fire Alpaca, Paint tool Sai (I dont know if this keeps existing) and Aggie/Magma I guess

(i dont have an ipad and I only know of Procreate for it)

I'm gonna go in a bit of a ramble so I'm gonna leave that under the cut

Like I said I dont really like recomending programs because what works for some people might not work for others

For example Clip Studio Paint is an amazing program with a lot of tools that'll make your life easier, it works for pc, for android tablets, and I think for ipad too. it has an animation feature, the tools it has for comics/manga are amazing, and theres a whole asset store for brushes and whatnot with free stuff you can get! A lot of friends have move from photoshop to csp, most of my supervisors use that, and it called me like a siren call. but I cant use it. idk what is it, but i just cant get used to it, I've tried it in 3 different times for a couple of months and it never clicked with my brain. so I don't use it

I have an android tablet that I bought so I could draw digitally without being chained to my desk but I rarely draw there because I dont like the way it feels, but I use Infinite Painter and is a very compleate program there are tools under a paywall but is very cheap to buy

Autodesk, Fire Alpaca and Sai were some of the programs I used when I started digitally, I used to jump from one to the other to see what felt better (I ended up using photoshop) Autodesk and Fire Alpaca are free (as far as I know/remember) and Sai you do have to buy it but is a one purchase for life kind of thing (as far as I know)

Aggie/Magma is a browser based program, I don't really like it lmao, it lags a lot for me and my pc fans go like crazy whenever I open it, but I know people who use it as their default and I've seen people do very cool things in a shared canvas.

Same way, many people find photoshop very daunting or confusing or restricting while is my favorite thing and I feel like fish in water there. So it depends on your preferences!

My best recomendation is to jump from one place to the other, use those free programs and use up the free trails of the paid ones (and pirate photoshop) see what feels right to you!

And remember this very important bit of information:

Programs are just a tool. The tool does not make the artist.

Sure the wrong tool can mess you up, but that's why is important to experiment and find what works for you. But using fancy or pricy programs are not gonna make you a better artist, after all, there's people who do realistic portraits on ms paint

[lilybug-02]

What programs do you recomend to animate/draw?

Ooooh umm not sure. I don't animate too much at all. If its an app, flipaclip is pretty good. If its computer- idk :,>

I unfortunally don't have The Sims 4 anymore (I had the og paired with totally legal not even a lil bit OFMD inspired DLCs but the DLCs bugged for ocean reasons and it broke the og and now I don't have it but can't redowload it because it acts as if it's still on my PC) but I was looking at my phone's note to delete some and I found a detailed traits plan for a bunch of TMA characthers.

So! I was planning on writing a Batman fan fic and had a question about the urban facing side I was wondering if you could help on. I suppose this can intersect with other super hero / billionaire figures. Interested in exploring urban development in the setting but trying to avoid pitfalls , but ofc no worries if this isn’t something in your purview or interest

I feel like Gotham, so deeply realized as a fictional setting and riddled with its issues as a city, would be a great template to explore these urbanist issues. And while Batman treats symptoms - protecting people from acts of violence, and also pursuing those who are responsible for the corrupt systems who have put themselves above conventional pursuit. But Bruce Wayne I feel like by a lot of fans can he overlooked as an agent of improvement in Gotham - he can use his political and economic clout to both publically and privately improve the systemic conditions of the city, like his famous hiring program for ex cons. And I would like to explore this side a lot deeper, however I’m wary of showing a billionaire as the only solution , or even the best solution to a city’s issues and basically recreating public policies privately.

Since showing a privatized solution to be the answer to all these problems isn’t the sentiment I want to give, as often private corporations are the ones exploiting / building up this cult of personality around millionaires is already troublesome. But ofc, Bruce Wayne is fictional and can be an example of how a CEO ought to act, but would like to show these solutions are achievable and to be sought after in the public sphere - we shouldn’t expect CEO to hire ex cons, build free transit, eliminate all these zoning issues by buying half the city because 1) unrealistic and 2) can institute a dangerous mindset where it’s like “just give everything to billionaires and they’ll fix things!” (See, the cult of musk)

So my question is, do you have any recomendations on how to achieve this balance of using Wayne as a championing workers rights, urban development , reform etc. without just shilling for billionaires? Because, after all, billionaires have been opponents and don’t want to diminish that. Perhaps using his influence to give away his infouence to others , if that makes sense. or even better - historical examples of figures of privilege utilizing their position to advocate for the public sector and go all in as earnest urban Allies as a roadmap to model this after?

This is a really interesting question, and I think points to some of the limitations of what can be done with the Bruce Wayne archetype.

As I've said before, I think what can be done to make Wayne an enlightened person without falling prey to the mentality that "the billionaires will save us!" (looking at you, RALPH) is to really explore the limitations of top-down reform.

Because if there is one genuine weaknesses both to the Batman and Bruce Wayne, it's that he has a well, "heroic" mindset in which he thinks that if he's just smart enough, prepared enough, tough enough, that he can win a one-man-war on crime and other social evils - but you don't really see him engaging in movement-building in either his vigilante or civilian sides.

In the former, even if we leave aside his more "lone wolf" depictions, Batman has issues with trust and working well in groups. At best, he cultivates a small number of people (the Robins, the JLA), and he tends to keep people at arm's length. In the latter, even when Bruce is trying to make systemic, social interventions in transportation or housing or health care or social welfare, it's usually done through a top-down approach - build this project here, support this politician there - rather than sitting down and doing an analysis of how he could build a sustainable majority coalition with the muscle to change Gotham on its own.

Realistically, an honest, militant, and strategic Waynetech union (albeit assisted from the shadows to keep the mob and the supervillain gangs at bay) could do more to change Gotham for good than any Foundation that has ever or could ever exist.

hii, i really love your art! can i ask what the brush you usually use for lineart / sketching is? i’ve been looking for a brush like that for a while and I really like how smooth and dynamic your lines are

Thank you so much for the kind words!!! I normally do a lot of “lineless” art and have only recently been confident in my lineart. I’m really happy you’re enjoying my work!!!

The program i currently use to draw stuff is Procreate and a lot of my brushes are from the default sets that comes with the app. These are the current brushes I use! I do have a preference for brushes that can taper or fatten up depending on how much pressure i apply or tilt of my pencil. My go to combination Shale + 6B pencil but depending on the mood its Chalk + 6B Pencil. Right now i have been experimenting with Gesinski Ink and Frilly (by twulfs which i highly recomend downloading! they have a lot of delicious crisp brushes in there foor lineart).

I took the chance to show off what the brushes look like if i just draw using one brush with my OCs. (left to right; Leche, Mansi, Ysa, Bini and Lami-a)

Also dont be fooled by the smoothness!!!!! I rely on the undo button a lot.
