UTTER PERFECTION
That would be a ballistic change of content on my mods 
hey, at least it's not skimpy!!
Not skimpy, yet
I made one skimpy mod
but then DocPresto hit me up with "hey, I made thsoe bondage ropes in 5 minutes with a new technique lmao" and I was like "are you gonna publish this"
so as soon as he makes the rest, I'm gonna publish something outright NSFW 
Well that escalated quickly
because we needed a masc refit and weren't sure how to deal wth the noodle 
It complies with the weights or it gets the rope
It's SUPER UWU
quick maths

you can actually make a custom tag
have two components/refits
one for the headset as standalone, and one to wear above your helmet
that way, you can throw out the headset as its own item, and when it's equipped together with the helmet, the smol one gets hidden and the big one loads
What's the situation with the EEX review btw?
My vpers actually asked me to request new slots for this helmet
Currently on hold, I think we'Re done brainstorming
maybe double-check the head section again π
But I think Psiberx had enough of me requesting slots
let's do it right one last time
Make sure that the head section covers your needs
and then we'll never have to touch it again
well idk what other stuff I'll make, maybe some more modern ops core in the future with 20 accessories or some shit, I'll always needs slots
Idea is this current one is actually compatible for the most part with my mask
at some point you'll have to leave well enough alone π
Which is why I don't want to occupy slots there
I'll probably take a look at what's available and improvise
I still have some things to do
Just finished all helmet icons, 328
So this one is finally done for

Need to recheck the balaclava colors and stitches
And after I'm done with that, i make icons and that's all there is for female version
Then refit the whole thing for male
And that's the mod done
... why not just leave it unisex
You sure?
i dont have balaclava icons yet since colors not final
thats what i meant by making more icons
like 18 icons left
hell ye
oh, ok
I'll be sniping some fresh talent from this screenshot channel in this server for some extra previews
Target goal of 50 vpers for this mod
I'd be delighted to take some, but I'm still learning the whole photography bidness
I wouldn't be sensitive if you wanted someone more experienced 
Is ok, I do take some vp-ers that are new to this field although yes, I first ask my vp army
That's understandable
Priority is always my vp-ers -> then anyone else with vp that i like and haven't shot for me before -> others
Np np
I can share a few of my favs if you want, I also post to the screenies channel occasionally
Thank
I was just like this as well
Well, I messed with it for a few weeks maybe a year ago
Been doing vp for over 2 years now i think
But I didn't rly start getting serious until about the end of Jan this year
And I still don't know how to post-process, so all my stuff is pretty raw save for reshade dof and luts

Is there an Arasaka variant that I can put on Takemura? π
No
Damn, he was quick with it
Real though
Wait ill show you how i started 
I hope you don't have the impression i got good in 2 days

lmao
I have some pretty funny (not really) home made meme with my vp in military outfits
This is my vp over like idk 2 years

honestly, 80% of the fight is picking the right lighting/the right place
I feel like I'm getting the hang of composition and framing, but not knowing how to correct anything afterwards kills me sometimes I feel
took me a while to learn
Wait, you can tilt the camera?

I'm kidding lmao
Gorgeous pics tho, both of yas
ty uwu
I don't think you can take bad screenshots at jig-jig street lmao
The way your V pops from that background is chefKISS
that's a little post processing :3
I'll have to bug ya'll for tips
using "select subject" in phootshop to get her on an extra layer
the using "edit -> auto..."
I usually pop a layer mask on a folder and have a bunch of duplicates in there so that I can work destructively and my changes affect only the character
Oh you wanna see how i waste my time in photoshop edits? 
I'm an absolute madman
photoshop usually goes waaaay too far, so I lower the opacity and merge it back on the original when I like it

ye yeee
I do does
I think my first shot of yours I saw was the woman holding her finger to her lips
anyhow, after I have the character enhanced a little, I duplicate the layer, set it to blending mode screen and 10-30% opacity
Was like sheeeeeeeeeee, I thought I was making progress
then duplicate that layer and set it to blending mode overlay or soft light with half the opacity of the screen layer
even if you use the original colours, that will add vibrancy
I appreciateeeee
I am kinda retarded when it comes to PS
ohh, I see what you did there π

If that's retarded then sign me up
makes her look like a barbie lmao
I tried to have a shower effect for one of mine, but I completely and utterly failed, so I just went with the usual
so sicc
some PL spoilers, depending on POV
it contains zero gameplay content π
PL led me off to a "you thought that was rock bottom? hold my beer" AU π
That's how I felt going through all the main story endings
without spoiling anything, they came up with something that makes you feel even worse
That's wonderful lmao, that shit almost made me cry
that shit made me write almost a million words of fanfic because I needed to gently ease myself into the full copium
Ahhh I also wrote some lore stuff for the first time for my character
I should've done this years ago
D'aw
(she has more hats)
I'm usually just a vp idiot, using my character solely for previewing people's mods (as of late)
Not anymore, time for some REAL lore
I preordered the game, but didn't finish it until last year lmao
hahaha, valid
Then a friend of mine convinced me to get back to takin' photos
I finished the base game with all endings back whenn it launnched, but i havent played properly since 1.5
idk whats new in 2.0
must be some cool shit
I just started a new playthru last week
I talked with Dex, then just started taking more photos
hahaha fair
π
I'll get back to it tho, it does feel a lot better
My ass has AMD
sadge
And i want to play with path tracing
because i take all my photos with it
i can't look back to rt
Did you ever figure out what was bustin' your IGCS?
fuuuuuuk
Luckly my vp army got me covered for teasers

mine occasionally crashes when I have RT and PT on...
Large sad
big gulp of sad
tbh even if I could use it I'd only have about 10 fps lmfao
It do be vibin', I may have to figure it out then
Probably need to slow down and just finish working on my lil SCAR tho, I wanna do everything at once, like always 
wot
rip
that's what the wardrobe shows where an atelier store would show you an empty string
It's json fail
I don't have the entry
for this variant
yeah π
overridden colors dont seem to work very well in blender
this is supposed to be all very black
uhh, did you reexport the materials?
yah, i did my changes, deleted the generated material json and exported
hmmm ok
it did the same with the overrides in my helmet too
ah well
ill just paint
with black
hm dats weird even the standard black colors have weird tints
in Blender? Ignore it
I'll take them as is and edit in PS, not gonna waste time with blender
ik ps much beter
I am losing my mind with my shop, some prices are not the ones I put in reds file
Is there a limit of items?
The problems start at around the 1k lines
I am losing it
I deleted half my shop and the prices are still fucked
Where is the damn mistake
I checked this 3 times yesterday

I redid the whole thing and it fixed itself
I am very pissed rn idk what was wrong with it in the first place
Because you know, the math checked out
yeah... it be like that 
Final teaser I'm going to show, this is part of the message for my vp-ers. Now comes my favorite part, I get to dm people for previews 
You shall see the rest and the mod itself on release date 
Hey mate, sorry if sound rude coming out of the blue like this, especially since I'm basically just another drop in the sea, you don't know me, and there people way more known and talented than me in this community, but I've discovered this project literally just yesterday, I read some of the stuff that was posted here and I immediately fell in love with it as I've been craving a mod like this for months. So, even tho my instinct is screaming not to send this message because I fear I'm being way too much intrusive, I just gotta ask, is there any chance I can jump in on the project and pheraps get preview access? I'm just super excited that such a project is being developed and I'd be even more excited to contribute to it, even with the smallest effort, whether it be actual dev stuff, or even promotional pictures.
Again sorry for the intrusivness, I'm just a big fan of this effort, and also I want to make it very clear that you're obviously the boss here, I'll respect whatever decision you're gonna make
Hey hey! I can't recognize you from anywhere, are you a vp-er?
Nope, that's what made me so scared to post this here, I don't know anybody from the community, you could say I'm new. But please tell me more about this vp-er position
VP stands for virtual photographer, basically people that take screenshots ingame. Dat is why I asked if you're one, preview access is for people who take screenshots that I use on modpage. I haven't seen any of yours anywhere, so dats why that's the first thing to ask
Makes perfect sense. Then yes you could say I'm a VP, I love to take screenshots ans photos in game but I've never posted any of them anywhere. Never had any reason to and I'm just really shy hahah. But I can totally take some photos for you, I would actually love to. If you want I can show you some of my pics and you decide if you like em
Well, I also don't want to sound rude, but if you haven't shared anything anywhere yet and want to get in the preview release phase, how can I know this request is legitimate
I share mods for previews only to people I trust and active VP-ers
ah, the prisoners' dilemma of being new π
You're not rude! I totally get it, that's a big reason of why I wasn't sure about sending this message. Unfortunately I don't have much to my name apart from showing you my good intentions and the effort I would like to provide. But I would never ask anyone to simply "trust me bro".
I can vouch for them being new π I've seen their face around the next few days. Not that that'll help anyone
Look
You would indeed take a risk in allowing me in on the project since I'm a nobody, I can only say you have my full cooperation and absolute respect. But I must reiterate, you're the boss, you make the call. Whatever it will be, it'll be totally fine for me!
My gut tells me that you don't have any ill intentions, however, I have people who are also not exactly new, they posted some shots before, and asked me for preview access to which I denied for the same reasons - not much activity in the vp community or haven't seen them around too often.
The people I allow to take previews for me are based mostly upon trust and skill.
If they've been a vp-er for me for a long time, of course they get access. If it's someone new asking for access but they're an experienced vp-er with social media accounts where i can see their works, they also get access. If they're people that come recommended from people I know, they also get access. If they're people I have seen active in the modding community and interacted with me before, they also get access.
There is nothing personal about this, it's just that you don't qualify in any of these categories. It also wouldn't be fair to give you access and not to the people I denied for similar reason, so that's why I'd prefer if you'd just wait for the official release which will be next weekend
I totally get it, it sounds perfectly reasonable, and even if it didn't, it would still be fair because you're the one in charge: your work, your rules! Hey who knows, maybe if I were in your shoes I'd have done the same haha. Even tho I'd love to show you my skills and the stuff I wanted to make to get this thing working, I am indeed, still a nobody. I don't even like social media or being very public about my things, I'm just a hobbyist who loves his little bubble of things and helping people whenever there's the chance to, so you're also right that I'm not technically an artist.
Nevertheless I gotta thank you for your time, allowing my intrusiveness, and even considering my proposal, so sincerely, thank you!
If you're comfortable with that, do share your screenshots over in #963139489486753882, though. Maybe you'll qualify for the next round
I considered that in the past few days, I'm getting kinda tired of always back-seating. I'm just too shy and socially anxious hahaha
As a matter of fact I didn't share any of my shots in the first few weeks either
Of starting vp
But you do need some public vp history to have a chance to get into preview stages of mods
I can give you constructive criticism or tell you that they're great even if they suck, just tell me which π
social anxiety 
I really don't want to insist, so I'll just say that I have no problem showing you what I'm capable of, and I was also thinking of making some custom content right now to get some preem pics. BUT, what you described sounds perfectly reasonable and I understand it completely (for what little my opinion actually matters, as I have no rights in any of this).
Nah I'd much more appreciate criticism of any kind, who cares if it hurts, I only care about being better
you can also ask in #963139489486753882
people here are generally nice and constructive. we don't tolerate shitting on anyone's effort here
Or simply post in #photomode-πΈ-screenshots and get the full experienceβ’ haha (genuine question, can I even?)
you can! screenshots-chat is for talking about them, though
so feel free to do that ;))
Well, here is another thing I want to say, once again a trust thing, if you never shared anything before yet, how can I know the pics you show me are actually yours. Like again, nothing personal, but I've been hit multiple time with the usual scam artists who share work of others claiming it's theirs and they want me to comission them for some idk 2d cartoon art whatever thingy 
I do see some activity from you on this server so you do look very much trustworthy , but the same points I said above about vp still apply
@red reef Since it's gonna take time till you notice the comment on your shurkien mod, you uploaded the projects files not the mod itself 


True, again I am open to pretty much anything to prove its my works (like idk, ask me to make an absurdly specific pic with the same style and you'll see its my character with my settings ecc.). But yeah that would still not take care of my lack of previous public works.
But you still get reactions and maybe someone will even comment it in the chat, so maybe I actually will
already fixed π
Feel free to share your works in the screenshot channels on various cp servers, we all started somewhere! But regarding the mod itself, you will still need to wait for official release to access it

thanks for the ping though π
Absolutely, it's gonna be a long week, but also super worth it, I'll also make sure to share my works with it as soon as its out, again, thank you for everything!

Hey Mana, the following situation is presented:
I have custom hair bangs for my helmet when the balaclava is not worn, but how do I make DA axl load the correct CC hair color that a player is using. Like automatically have the bangs use the same hair color as the one player using
{haircolor} or so as appearance? it's documented somewhere
There is this
Like, to give you a better understanding of the problem
i have an adjusted mesh, which i load and fuse together in ent
What am i supposed to put in meshAppearance
Because from this documentation, assuming that it works the same as usual property interpolation
Actually i dont even know how to explain this lmao 
I think i should ask in uhhh psiberstuff or archivexl?

my last understanding was that you'd just put {hair_color} here
But IDK if psi has changed it
then it's #psiberstuff
feel free to @Β me with the solution
because I vaguely recall this changing with dynamic variants, but not sure to what
waittttttt i got it
Looks like it's *{hair_color}
with this *
Thannks for help 
I actually still don't understand the full logic behind DA axl
don't know why this * sometimes is needed
and sometimes not

I WANT HONESTY
Colors are a little off but otherwise very solid
You are supposed to msg me to send you the mod
Then why didnt you message
I said I wanted to already :o I didn't realize you were waiting for me
Update: I am pretty sure I broke my previews record, my folder shows over 100 pictures from my vp-ers 
And it's nnot even done
so sick
You should be, this thing is siccc
My ability to come up with ideas for photos tho, not so sick
if you do, preferably do verticals since the carousel will be filled to the brim
I can merge multiple verticals in one shot
and dont forget what i said about tag
I will not forgor, and I'll do both
I kinda wanted to run through a photoshop tutorial real quick to enhance my stuff, but I don't think I rly have the time
I don't think anyone's gonna look at all those tbh
I probably would honestly, but I am a lil speschul
I've talked to several people who go on Nexus to download mods and not as part of a community or anything, and they're all annoyed that instead of a proper preview of what variants they can download, they get "the modders buddies showing off their chars"
lmao
And yeah, I see the point XD I almost never look at these
I can see that, I suppose that doesn't bother me much because I like to take photographs. I go through so many just to get ideas, see what I can do to improve my photos, see what gear goes with the item, etc.
If I wasn't concered with that though, I could see myself spending less time peeping
I mean, if it brings you joy, that's A-OK and I endorse collecting awesome shots π
this was just supposed to be a heads-up that the target audience would probably be happier if you just uploaded the preview icons lmao
I have a reference folder of people's stuff from the screenies channel u_u
I thought he usually put one in the description
There is no way this can be applied to my mods
I have a dedicated shot showing all variants
Good, good u_U
Plus I keep a consistent color palette across my mods so everyone who downloaded before knows what to expect
Speaking of screenies
and they DO look at all the pics on my mods
I know you can enable an option to let you use some photomode poses with npcs, but is there a way to do that the other way around?
I get asked questions for outfits used in pics even at the end of carousel
Fair π
you mean animations on player V? you can only do that if you use spawned V from amm
Sad
but yeah, I try to always include this kind of pictures (unless I'm too lazy)
for the shuriken it was just my template tough π
Yeah
That's very sick
they're, like, historically accurate
also makes my hand hurt just looking
I had to do a lot of digging >.<
I thought they were just creative designs, but then I saw the names and was like hmmm
seems like someone did some research
I'm obsessive-compulsive with stuff like that
it's no joke, I spent four weeks on libgen reading academic papers about feudal Japan until I understood Takemura in the Devil ending
based
also somewhat annoying lmao
I'll bet, seems to have turned out nicely though :>
Sure did.
I'm still kinda laughing about the fact that I literally travelled to Japan and it's all Arasaka's fault
How'd you like it?
I loved it
If someone had offered me to make my house and my rent go away and I could work remote, I would at least have thought thrice
smh, if I ever go it's gonna be all your fault
11/10, can recommend
we were in a village that was so tiny that it had fucking deer at the bus stop (I kid you not, but it didn't get into the bus), and they had 5g coverage
Did you find any favorite foods? That'd probably be my first order of business lmao
Asian convenience stores do go quite hard, I guess it's the same there haha
yeahhhh
Weβre trying out a variety of ready-made Udon Noodles from 7-11 in Japan.

extra THICK
and I had excellent ramen with fish broth, and okonomiyaki to die for

the prettiest previews I made are the ones for the Netrunner suits
but damn they were a lot of work lmao
verigooooord
Oh, I've seen Merku post some of those before, didn't realize that was the bodysuit used
they go so nicely with the modular armour
I'm tempted
my creative juices are finally flowing a little for this helm tho, idk why im having trouble with ideas
Need to work on that shot a bit more but I like where it's goin
Getting real "join the Empire, they said" vibes at Endor lmao
They are doing their collective parts
MAD GOOD
How would ya'll go about adding a light to a face in PS? Like from a flashlight
difficult

I'd duplicate the layer, set its blending mode to screen, then fuck around with layer masks
Ideally you've done that ingame

You can't really properly add "light" in photoshop
unless you're real good
If you were to light up a flat 2D surface, yes that'd be better
but a face

Hmmmmmmmm

Is there any way to get more oval shaped lights in IGCS?
spawn spots, then angle them? π
I'm not sure if that would work with this, hm....
I guess lack the skill to do this but I'm very committed
what exactly do you want to achieve?
I was trying to ask without spoiling the photo lmao, but specifically, I'm trying to get this effect
you want the eye area to be lighter?
OK, then what I'd do is, I would first of all duplicate the entire layer
then I would try to lighten up the eye area as much as I can with PS's Edit -> Adjust.... tools
then I'd play around with Blending Mode: Screen and maybe Overlay (depending on light colour) to stack that further. I want a completely overexposed version of the same screenshot, as bright as I can make it without getting artifacts or looking shitty
then, I would duplicate all these layers and merge them down, so that I have one layer
I'd chuck that one into a folder and put a layer mask on the folder so that it will only affect the general area of the eye
Then, I would create a bunch of more duplicates and play around with Gaussian Blur, blending modes and opacity
e.g., Gaussian Blur 1 on the entire image, duplicate four times, move each duplicate 1 pixel off the original coordinates
maybe merge the whole shit down again and use that one as a screen layer with low opacity, or something like that
via layer masks and blocking, you can also make parts of your final circle more or less pronounced
Hmmmmmmm
see how the light bounces a bit from the eye socket
yes yes
and how there's a small cast shadow on the inside of the eye
that's the stuff that's gonna be difficult?
I seeee
the advantage of that approach is that you aren't working destructively
you can yeet the layer mask and all of your original layer will still be there
also @warped dome I wanna make a custom AMM outfit for Goro with your mod as a dependency but I'm too laaaaazy
I appreciate ya'lls assistance
I may file that away for later and just suffer with the spotlights lmao, I'm a literal caveman in photoshop right now
Though I did attempt the tips you gave earlier for helping a character stand out from the background
You can work with round spotlights and photoshop to create oval ones, btw
0.0
If you spawn a spotlight and make it long and narrow so that it only shines on the eye in a circle, you can take the same screenshot twice
once with the spotlight on and once with the spotlight off
then you put both in the same photoshop document, the one with the light on top, and you can block out parts
Unlazy yourself πͺ
(I should listen to my own advice)
Can you unlazy myself for me
AMM like public one?
im too lazy
Its wednesday my dudes, and ive done jackshit with my modpage

I have 120 previews to process

Yeah, definitely
Feel free
#1stworldproblems lmao
Nexus Mods :: Cyberpunk 2077
Adds ~13 new appearances for Takemura-san with several variants each (41 total); as well as the Arasaka HJSH-18 Masamune as spawnable prop.Contains one (1) nude appearance.
Should go in this one
Huh? No, boxer doesn't count XD
I mean if you don't mind the amount of crap you have to deal with inside my mods, sure

My mods are NOT npv friendly
I would've linked to your stuff as a dependency rather than unbundling, so I would just have to find the correct mesh files π
Unless I'd have to refit for him, then it might make more sense to outright include it, but downloads
(and the mod is awesome, so people might as well install it lmao)
I'd have asked perms in that case anyway, I assumed that you wouldn't mind the hard dependency case π
yah sure use them
i have permission things in each modpage
oh ye i did actual say
must ask for public mods
yeah, but only if I include assets
if I just link them, then that's not including
as in "this thing will not show up unless you have $mod installed"
i mean, i'd allow by default but i want to see where the assets are reuploaded
haha, fair
I know, I have a permission

Real, based, valid.
Activision doesn't care
that's why eagul is named mana's fake mom now π he said I couldn't do something and I told him he wasn't my real mom
I can port everything
RREALALY
True but, lmao
but idk how to rip them
they're a huge corporation
even if "stealing" digital assets was a thing, they had it coming
They just don't caare
Maybe my dream can come true then
How to create custom props to use with AMM or sector editing
this website has a bunch of sources at the beginning
na na, i meant tools to rip them from the cod games
as soon as the model is in blender
the its easy going (hopefully)
ninjaripper
but someone will have ripped them already, and the sources are on the wiki page I linked
this is prop guide

I saw someone trying to port an F-4EJ the other day lmao
I never used it but maybe Nvdia nsight might help. Its a tool that lets you debug each single individual draw call sent to the gpu
People use it reverse shaders, it can also preview meshes, dunno about exporting
I'd need something similar to how wkit functions
and i have amd

Dude I am literally in the middle of porting an F18
show us 
He never talked to him again π
lmao
they do be havin some
I saw a pretty sick Mk 19 model, prob some others too
Was thinking about putting it in as a handheld lmao
This is in blender, already got it spawning in game, I just need to make the other materials in WKit
yoooo sick
GIve me about 1-2 hours and I should be done

Thx hahah but I literally just hit "Download" on sketchfab lmao
props are easy to do
Next I'm gonna make an F22, and an F35
Too bad we don't have flying physics in game or I'd make those actual vehicles
man would be sick to get those helicopter gunships an actual thing
the trauma team dropships? Yeahhh
random sippet from one of my stories:
In the fast AV, the trip from TΕkyΕ to Εsaka takes twenty minutes. But that oneβs too small for the bike, and they want to drive across the country for an hour or two, so they take the tactical transport, which can deploy them anywhere.
But it doesnβt, since they stick to the roads. Sometimes, they drive up and down the slopes of mountains, the ride leaning into the bends like a cat into a caress. Sometimes, they find a highway and drive fast, weaving past the other traffic on their high-priority road pass while Papa flies overhead. Despite the early hour β by her momβs standard β itβs already hot, but the windstream around them is like βganic air conditioning.
When they are done, they wait for an empty stretch of road before her father swoops down and lowers the loading ramp to let Mama drive straight into the loading bay: killing the engine before sheβs even cleared the ramp, braking hard. The motorbike skids to a stop between the yellow lines on the floor, and for a few heartbeats, itβs quiet except for the ramp and the AV.
(Because the 5yo needs to learn how to do a hot evac)
damn and I thought my pics were kinda neat, this is on a whole another level
That shot is HOT
I believe that's called "Valgus" btw
you made full lore for your characters?
Gracias 
Yah those things
I slipped and my "let's see if I can write a sex scene" turned into a full novel over 15+ years 
They're probably just scripted scenes
Kazuki is five
Damn
I never really made lore
I'll get a new commissioned character soon, maybe i'll make some lore for that girl 
Nothing like a lil extraction traning with the fam
Real

porting weapons to Cyberpunk feels an awful lot like carrying owls to athens, but somebody's gotta
i searched for some chopper models but the free ones are bleh
It is suffering, especially since I don't know what I'm doing lmfao
perhaps someone will make actual chopper mechanics one day who knows
What happened to the flight mod btw?
π
Dead, idk 
I think one of the more recent updates broked it
Why was it never updated? That could be a great framework
LTBF has a dll, so it needs to recompile for each game version
but it's a pain in the ass to update
Rip
and Jack has moved on from Cyberpunk
Oh I don't even need that, I'd be happy just throwing it into space with AMM lmfao
Jackhumbert?
yeah
Do we have the source tho?
Mod Settings is still maintained though
I recently made a big step forward towards custom effects. You could maybe use that to make the helicopter shoot π
yeah, less effort to maintain
I've done this with an AV before, but it's not the same. Kinda hard to get the shot I want and still be able to tell they're flying
older one
Clear improvement
I'd love to uwu
How do effects work? How do I mod them?
ty ty, the older one was from when I first first started a year ago
I think some kind of wind effect would do the trick
Like hair strands going all over the place
I add all my effects in PS
But that means a custom hair mode, pain
I used wimbdy for it, but it's kinda hard to play with
As a matter of fact I wanted to get into some hair modding, but then I realized it is hair modding and I was like 


Wise
At that point one might argue, why not just render everything directly into blender, which is made for that β οΈ
That's what i'm saying dude
i die a little inside everytime I try to get an anim to stop at the right point
and then my game crashes
Same, my modelling knowledge stops at hard surfaces and subsurfs π
Thats why I only use photomode poses lmao
I don't do anything in blender besides refitting and splitting meshes up
Don't even know basic modelling
Same here, I only know very basic stuff, I can model something, as long as I have a clear reference and it's not too complicated
As a part of my degree in computer science, I once gave a graded presentation with the title of (I kid you not) "Why Blender sucks"
I can model a cube (I spawn it)
lmao
it was much worse 15 years ago
but the UI and UX have been designed by people whose knees bend backwards
gimp would like to have a word
lmao yes
Why's that?
As a frontend dev, I can tell you, old UIs suck big time
gimp's UI is a strong contender for "shittiest UI of the century"
You look at the UIs, you get lost
I'm not saying I find it great, I just never had any major complaint (probably cuz I only ever used 1% of it but that doesn't count)
Open up Blender and spawn a cube. Then, try to colour both halves of the cube with different colours. No Google
It is so bad, and I'm even worse so it's double awful
assume no prior knowledge
You got me at "spawn a cube" already
I didn't know how to do that for 2 years...
Cut in half, make 2 mats, select faces individually, assign each set of faces to the correct materi... ok I get it now.
they changed the default interface
and I started actually using it by the time they had just changed that
so all guides and their official documentation were like "just move it like taht!!!"
which didn't work
Isn't this true about any professional software tho?
yeah, but there are different degrees of terrible
Like if something is meant to get shit done, I kinda expect it to be frighteningly big
I like blender, but then again I haven't done anything too terribly complicated in it yet
compare the "adding a sticker from your clipboard to an image" workflow between photoshop and gimp
true
If I could rip stuff from war thunder it would be sick
you can probably find the 3d models together with the full specifications on the forum 
gonna see some quad nods irl
They rip straight from the pentagon so I don't think you're gonna have a hard time doing that hahaha

More likely ill bump into classified documents while searching for those
You mean the nvgs?
I've seen this four times in my meme group now
Yeah, when he opens up those classified docs
I make terrible jokes, I'm sorry
Ahhhh I get it now, lmao I misread your msg
Also, I just found this:
βWill you tell me a story?β
βOf course.β Papa's eyes light up when she takes his offered hand. βWhat do you want to hear?β
βHow MomotarΕ infiltrated the Militech facility!β
He nods, making himself comfortable. βOn the way to Onigashima,β he begins, βthe dog sniffed out a trail of CHOOH-2 in the underbrushβ¦β
The monkey is just hacking the mainframe by the time Mama joins them, slipping quietly on the chair next to Kazuki and putting her arms around her. She manages to keep quiet until the Oni reinforcements arrive, but thatβs okay: her interruptions make the story less exciting, but a thousand times funnier.
No it was great, I just completely missed the context, I tought YOU were gonna see em for some reasons
field trip to the War Thunder forums!
proof that no matter how many gazillions you pump into defense, it still won't be enough to stop a 20-something years old with autism lmao
the biggest security gap are people
always

the way to have a secure facility:
- you need two employees
- one needs to feed the dog
- the other makes sure that its colleague stays away from the servers
"So for this quarter we have allocated another 15% of our budget into developing stronger and more secure protocols for our internal netwrork", meanwhile Emily from cubicle 3-F claiming her free iPhone she got via email
You can see every atom of your model
Emily is claiming her free IPhone, and Josh just has to prove Jimmithy wrong, but he has to make sure he's credible somehow
Hey at least they're gonna make funny YouTube videos about it
I always love those "How we accidentally sudo -rm -f /ed the prod database" kind of videos
god bless the quick selection tool
someone made me such a battlefield styled picture its amazing
i wont show it though

You just have to believe me its incredible
I'm sure
day one of photoshop lmao hopefully it's not too bad
I can give it a shot!
if you put that into a folder, you can put a precise layer mask about the upper part of it
and then blur the shit out of the layer below
AHHH YOU FOUND IT
... huh?
Like this?
yeah? I think it's a tad better :))
That's very neat, I can probably play with it more but it looks a whole lot more glowy already that way
tyty
welcome
Is that a challenge? π
there's so many
someone unlazy me too please 
pls
damn finn popping off
I get it, but sheesh, it's hard to find tall buildings that are also decent looking
Arasaka Tower 
See, that was the first place I went, but it has this weird haze over it at the spots I wanna use
I'm guessing it's some kind of permanent effect ||for the story || or something
Why not nuke the tower along with that

True
Uh
About that
https://www.nexusmods.com/users/3488936 Maybe I can put some stuff there lmao
You'd better send a link or I'm not publishing the mod 


I didn't even pack anything for this guilt trip
idk if these last two I'm working on will be done in time for you to even consider but Imma do them anyway
Deadline is saturday 6 PM CEST at most late
o shet
u have time
My personal deadline was today so they weren't last minute, but I'm bad at everything 
rofl
Need to work with this one a lot more, but it's not as neat as I was expecting it to be
Sure uwu
can you give me the high-resolution thing via imgur or so?
Sure
Kinda excited to do this last one (if it works)
Also need to figure out how to draw ropes lmao
in ps?
Yes
try the pen tool
Unless there's some super intuitive way I can do it in game
Make them in blender
well
coincidence has it that I just published
I was thinking of make some ropes in blender for a similar shot
which does have ropes lmao
You just need a curve
Hmmmm
but yeah, basically what zMo said
You don't happen to know how to do node setups to make them rope-y, do you?
Ya'll have some big fine brains
I was just thinking of adding a cloth sim
why be big brain when smol brain do the job
(I hope it does the job at least)
ty, thank god art is subjective
I don't hate it, but it just wasn't what I was trying to do exactly
not 1000% happy, but maybe you can do something with this one and yours?
here's the psd
Shit
oof
Idk if i can actually finish the modpage in time
Suffering from success
Legit
I'm around uh
140 pics maybe 150
Situation is pretty grim
I'm expecting more pics
lmfao
I merged a lot already
I'm kinda excited to see what ppl do with it
Up to 90 processed previews
Oh man
The previews are fire trust me
Like everyone has their skill level, but everyone came with sick outfits
very good
Got the thumbnail done, and 6 modpage elements as well as the mini banner
One more mandatory element pending and then I'll see if I can add some new ones since I got so many pics
Hell yeeeeeeee
But the text is not done
Is that something I can assist with?
There is nothing you can do
You see how my other mod pages are made
Need to do text like that but there's more stuff I need to say
I'll do tomorrow
Alright mon
If you want to truly assist then I'll have a small job for you after release 
Just like my previous mod, inevitably this one as well will get 60% of comments asking for what outfit in picture x
People will answer
Either me, my vpers or other nexus users
Nah your job would be much simpler
See on my accessories
On person collected all the things for outfits used
And put it one post
Like, the ones answered not every shot jeez)))
And I pinned that post
That could be you now
I'm down for it
Just crawling thru the posts for the stuff people have asked for and compiling it all into one message?
Yeah but it's. Not that bad as you may think
The bulk of the comments will be in 24h since release
You don't have to go and search for mods used in shots
If somebody asked, and someone answered, you can put it in the post
If no answer, too bad lmao
You need to start your post with big massive text
Biggest font
"mods used in pictures"
Cuz man
I tell you these nexus users are so blind
Last mod I put girls in bikini
To catch their attention to the post with mod links
It was that bad
hahahaha
Legit just go see last mod pinned post 
I'll make the bikini girls shot again if they miss your post
You just put the text
Big
Like full font
Anyway we can talk more about it on release day
Which is like in 2 days
Npnp
But the template is something like on my accessories like that person did
I found it lmfao
0.0
like, literally, press K π
I seee
I will revisit this, the thing I was using it for didn't have a UV map so it was kinda sadge
Still will use it, but have to (un)wrap my head around all that business
and thanks 
you can create an UV map, for a shape like this it'll be easy
It was for an entire vehicle 
I was just finishing a small part of it
I found something UV mapped tho so it's cool
Now I can read some of this amm prop fanfic
one must imagine sysiphus a modder
Tragic
yeah
Also am I killing the cat here? I don't see the bake vertex color menu in the render tab
might be from an older version..?

maybe it moved, try googling?

Hey Mana
Let's say
I add 25+ armor stat bonus to the helmet
but this is a native DLC stat bonus
what would happen if someone would download the mod and doesn't have the dlc
Crash or stat bonus wouldn't work?
LEt me see if first the stat works as expected
idk, I think I'm probably messing up something more basic, but I'll come back to it later
stat works
Very gooooood

How does this work? I wanted to do this for my body armor
you need to steal it from a vanilla item
find an item with stats bonuses, use tweakdb editor thing in CET to find it and scan the stuff in its entry
Ah ok I will give it a try thanks
you want the tags in there and Items.entry
tags go in yaml like this
entry goes here
dats it
Ok cool thank you π
can you put on wiki?
isnt this there already? it should be in tweakdb on cet?
its a tweakxl thing i believe
i dont know either if it is there
but its like
i learned it from another person
well i actually figured it out myself by looking at another mod ahahhaa

would be great if you could add it to the tweak section of the yellow wiki somewhere, and maybe link it to the equipment page?
we have different genders of wikis for cp
opposed to me reminding you, that will actually work π
different tribes. But they all live in harmony. 
had the same earlier
Also guys after i publish the helmet mod, let's transfer our "private" chat from this to the new one ill make here
OK π
