A conglomerate of content creators since we couldn't keep our own threads up alone. and we can't keep this thread up either apparently lmao If you're working on something, be it musicfagging, writefagging, drawfagging, poetfagging, craftfagging, or game-devfagging come by and post for some feedback or give some of your own. If you want to start content creating why not start today?

This thread is intended for ALL SKILL LEVELS, from complete beginner to seasoned expert. Don't get intimidated. We're all just hobbyists here to have fun and help each other make more pony stuff.

Nice work!

new model

>>42372987
cool! are the shiny parts of the hair just part of the texture or is it some rendering thing

>>42372227
Toon Boom anon here. It is On! :)
Nice work so far. What application are you building your puppet in?

>>42373166
I couldn't bother with UV unwrapping and texturing so those are actually small hand-made meshes wrapped around the hair.

Working on the next chapter of a green (longer than I planned), but I've made it a thing to create a pic for each chapter. This is for chapter 5 but I'm not sure if this will be the finished pic or not.

Why are we like this, anons

>>42373967
Honestly I thought about the same thing today. I want to keep up with this board, but I also want to create. I don't have great self control either.
I guess it comes down to what I want more. Would I REALLY rather shitpost than work on my pony music? I don't get anything out of shitposting, all I do is kill what limited free time I have with a bunch of baiting faggots. THIS is going to be how I spend the rest of my life?

>>42373967
Do what I do. Designate a special time for creating, and when that time comes? Unplug your computer. Make it as hard as possible to get distracted. Don't rely on your willpower, simply remove the distractions

>>42374060
I hope this works. I wish I could just leave this place.

>>42373217
ohhh interesting, I can't tell if that solution is really smart or really dumb lol
looks great regardless though! I like the way it's colored

>>42372987
She has a cute face. The hooves seem kinda long, though that may be perspective. The barrel is kinda boxy and thin. She'd look good in a sailor outfit

that reminds me, I've been meaning to ask someone with experience in 3d stuff what they would recommend for me to do here
I'm not all too familiar with 3d modeling/animation, but I want to get into it with pony stuff, and I'd really like to use the leaked gameloft models for them. But from briefly trying to play around with posing one, the rigging seems really weird
Is this workable? Should I just try playing with it and getting used to it? or should I attempt re-rigging or just look for different models to use

>>42376570
another pic since it's kind of hard to tell what's going on
the two tail bones aren't connected, the legs are all connected bones but they don't actually connect to each other, the four wing bones can be ignored (unless the pony I'm animating has wings ofc), the head bone isn't connected to the jaw bone, and that bone out in front is for props (books or apples or whatever baked into the gameloft animations)
I'm probably using the term "connected" wrong, but looking at how they move in the animations hasn't really given me any hints. Like when they open their mouths the jaw bone both moves vertically and rotates in relation to the head
I just really have no idea what I'm doing and idk if it's just a "git gud" situation or if the models are actually just bad kek

>>42371353 (OP)
I recognize this ploosha!

>>42376570
I'm assuming that:
- you would like to pose these models and render them in Blender, perhaps animate them,
- you don't want to use the already existing animations from the gameloft,
- you want to do this multiple times, in other words it's not a one time thing.
If that's the case - personally - I wouldn't use a ripped rig like the one in your pics. As you said, it's difficult to work with.
IMO you should learn Rigify and re-rig it yourself. It'll take you an evening or two to get familiar with it, but once you're done you'll have rig that's easy to work with, has IK, hip bones, bone shapes and all kinds of other bells and whistles.
If you're not familiar with Rigify, the way it works is you lay down these simple reference bones like in picrel and it generates the fully featured rig for you.

When it comes to tutorials, I would recommend CGDive's videos, they are concise enough and also don't skip over the important details.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdcL5aF8ZcJuG3kKcVgQQz36E3JXzijEH
First three videos from that playlist should get you started and maybe the fifth one with the dog/quadruped in it. My rigs are based on the "Basic Quadruped" Rigify preset.

Also here's a blend file with my old low poly model that uses Rigify. Maybe it'll help you somehow.

Can attest to this, whilst I don't rig any of my pony models since they don't need it, I have ported models and rigged other stuff. Imported rigs don't generally import the best. Really it just looks like the bones are all scaled up and rotated a bit. Do what this feller said and try and learn it yourself. Rigging is a huge pain, imagine if the process was automated.

Is there a plushmancer who'd be willing to make and sell a pocket on its own? I have a lifesize plush that I'd like to "upgrade". I just need the pocket w/ zipper, the little fabric tubing or whatever you call it that hides the zipper, and an inch of fabric off both sides so that I can sow it on.

>>42378441
nigger how do you expect to successfully attach the pocket if you don't even know how to sew something as simple as a pocket

>>42371353 (OP)
I want to draw something like this. What are these types of colors called

>>42378498
I'd rather not go through the hassle of trying to figure out what custom length zipper I need, how to conceal it, what material to use for the pocket, what fabric the plush is made out of, buy all that shit and put it all together myself with hand stitching to MAYBE save ten or twenty bucks when I can just pay someone who is already an expert at making them. Fucking dumbass.

>>42378683
Appears like it was colored with felt tip pens.

>>42376977
the hooves seem to rotate suddenly at the end

>>42378683
Roseluck!

>>42372227
Please use pone.rs

-love, an anon that hates catbox

>>42376679
Nice
>>42378441
Look up the spreadsheet of plush makers, and pick one that adds pockets already.

I got a LS from ERC and they use a nice waterproof material for inside the pocket.

>>42378744
Sheedh settle down dude
>>42379721
What did catbox do to you?

>>42379803
Its just worse than pone.rs in every conceivable way, its a good service in a vacuum however, with more reliable alternatives, feel its better to use them than catbox.

>>42378744
It's not rocket science. Just get some minky and do it yourself, you lazy bastard.

I find some plushes are off, proportions are weird and things just dont look right. But this fucker knows what hes doing. Its a joy just to look at this work.

trying to make another one since someone offered 100$ to pickup at the con.

>>42385776
Braidfillies are my turf, you better watch out.

>>42386922
What machine do you use for the embroidery? Embroidery has always been my weakest point, mostly since I've always done it by hand, and I can never figure out how to make it manageable.

>>42386922
Gumdrops has been asking me to make them for like 8 months! Ideally these are just a blip on my road to lifesized...
>>42387072
NTA but I use a babylock destiny

>>42385776
I'll offer you a pat on the back for one.

I use a Janome 500E, a pretty popular model among plushmakers.

If you insist, I'll get to work now... after I check on a few more threads.

Can (You) guess what picture I'm doing
It will be done in.......5 years?
