AAARGH MISSING THE GAME BECAUSE OF THE WAGE CAGE I FINALLY UNDERSTAND SOCCER HOOLIGANS' RAGE

>>42395500
But most soccer hooligans are unemployed losers

Trying to design a nice insignia for intersim games for our uniforms, thoughs?

>>42395633
To clarify it is not an original design, it's based on Baltimore's logo in the National Premier Soccer League. The blue color comes from the flag of Equestria.

>>42395633
>>42395675
I honestly hate the baltimore flag and by extension the attempts at a baltimare flag.

>>42395714
Unfortunately there is no other real symbol to represent the sim besides the flag that I am aware of

Pegasi use magic to fly any anyone who thinks otherwise is a FUCKING RETARD.
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a pegasi should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its gay little body off the ground.

Tonight's the night. And it's gonna happen again and again. Has to happen
Ok, let's go

would anyone like to watch polaris struggle to create a nightmare moon popen for the next three hours?
for the low low price of one monthly installment of 200 lindens for one month, you can have this fantastic deal

>>42396745
im doing it anyways i just wont buy it all yet

woh

>>42396899
Neat fur effect

>>42396896

You are doing great, popen!
Keep the poppening

nobody told me the customization hud had more than one panel so moon 1 had to be killed and moon 2 will not be fucked with by the edit tool

Chat relay seems to be offline! Can't hear (read) the party outside of the beach

>>42396977
Don't color her with the customization HUD, except for specific accents like eyes/eyelashes
For everything else, tint the BOM universal

>>42396983
Moon 2 has been deleted, how the hell do I use BOM on Moon 3, the cutie mark requirees it anyway so its's not like I can keep avoiding it

>>42396988
this seems like the incorrect way to be doing any of this

BIRB IS THE WORB

>>42396988
1) Check the BOM box in the customization HUD. It will turn your avatar white; that is by design. You're supposed to keep it white.
2) Wear one of the BOM universals. Most ponies will want blank for a smooth pony look, or velvet for a slight grain.
3) Edit the BOM universal and change the "color/tint" section to be your coat color

>>42396992
That's the correct way to do it

>>42396998
that was an easy fix it seems

>>42397002
Butt mark simultaneously works and doesn't work

in derp we trust

>>42397017
hhhh

It was a beach party, not under /water nohooves party

I started typing a joke about the goo lagoon level in battle for bikini bottom because the current song is the song from that level and firestorm froze and won't do anything so that's cool and epic

>>42397006
In the customization HUD, I would really recommend against velvet or fur unless you want to look weird and bumpy
For the BOM layer it makes less of a difference, but the HUD options are what determine the normal and spec maps
>Butt mark simultaneously works and doesn't work
Without knowing what textures are in the universal's texture slots, I couldn't really guess at what's causing that

>>42397049
I was using wear instead of add, also firestorm fucked up my PC somehow so it looks like I need a SECOND reboot

ywayp

>>42397115
Acura should braid his mane and hang it off his wizard tower like Rapunzel, so when somepony climbs it and expects a princess, they instead get Acura telling them about how he brews his mysterious ales with mystical hops

uuuhhhhh so what happens if I theoretically blanked out the diffuse and normal and specular textures on the one singular only copy of an item I have (oops)

>>42397161
get a new copy re-delivered
if it was a marketplace item you can do it from the product page
if it was a caspervend item you can get it from a caspervend re-delivery terminal inworld

ALPHA map completely separate of the diffuse map fucking when?

>>42397170
thank you anon, now if windows could stop skullfucking my D drives so firestorm doesn't keep hanging so long that I get disconnected, maybe I could do something with this information

>>42397176
sorry the price of this information was me briefly using your computer to generate pictures of my favourite horse there was some side effects

>>42397179
why hooves stuck in floor when tall pony :(

>>42397246
Adjust hover height.

>>42397252
what is hover height (yes i looked through some of the settings before coming back to ask this)

Wtf Camarea!

>>42397246
I am begging you to use the blank option in the customization hud
What you have right now looks like a scarred leathery hide

>>42397262
It's a slider, look in your shape sliders

>>42397267
>use the blank option in the customization hud
I think I got that one fixed now
>>42397267
>shape sliders
????????

>>42397279
Have you never edited your shape before?

>>42397284
I guess not? Like am I just looking in the wrong areas of the interface or something?

>>42397292
Option 1: Edit your shape from your inventory
Option 2: Right-click your nametag -> Appearance -> Edit Shape (you will see a "hover height" option next to "edit shape"; ignore it. Click "edit shape" and use the slider)

>>42397303
>Right-click your nametag
how have I never done this at least once even on fucking accident hory shet

ok, one other thing I can't figure out, the eye config in the customization hud wants to apply a normal eye but I need the moonish batponyish dragonponyish eye instead, what am I doing wrong there

>>42397307
I see you mousing over Hover Height there, but I explicitly said not to click that. I hope you clicked Edit Shape instead

As for the eye, if it's the default slit-eye option, just click it in the eyes part of the customization HUD. It's right there in the eyes section, the first tab

Fucking sex on the beach was too hot

>>42397320
ok I set the other one back to zero and did it in the shape menu instead, and also my video of the thing got fucked and the second one I recorced is 11mb so fuck it you get this one

>>42397325

>>42397340
You know it applies that eye shape to your avatar as soon as you click it, right? That should be fine for your purposes
If you need more fine-grained control (gradients and pupil sizes and whatnot), you would probably have to drag the pupil texture into that advanced eye customization tab, and I don't have that texture on hand

>>42397394
The little reflective bits are still white where the white of the eye is the bluish color that it's supposed to be, but maybe that will be fine, also I made the mistake of trying to take a screenshot and the game has been frozen for the past 5 minutes so that's cool

>>42397267
Unf Nightmare Moon's leathery hide

>>42394219
neat drawing, anon
thank u i love it

>>42397481
You're welkies.

>>42397405
Ok fuck it, I just grabbed the "thin pupil" layer from the devkit psd, made it white i.e. tintable, and uploaded it.

So,
1. Navigate to the eye customization tab
2. Right-click and edit it
3. Make sure "select face" is selected in your edit window
4. Left-click the pupil texture you want to change in the edit window, the little thumbnail next to the "layer 3" text. This will ensure that only that face is selected, and not your whole HUD.
5. Navigate to Texture -> Blinn-Phong -> Diffuse in the editor window. Instead of picking a texture, enter this into the UUID field at the bottom, and click "apply UUID":
c224a70f-64d6-54c2-0704-803019b7ed99

I guess I'm just not finishing moon tonight, the entire D drive is completely unresponsive

>>42397496
FIRESTORM AINT EVEN ON THIS DRIVE
i am going to piss on microsoft's shrubbery
>>42397495
firing it back up in hopes I can try this

>>42397496
wtf I hope that's not an SSD or else it will be toast really soon

>>42397506
nah it's two 8TB hard drives mirrored for the sake of covering my ass if one of them dies, windows is dead set on resynchronizing them RIGHT NOW and anything that tries to access D: locks up the whole system

>>42397495
>enter this into the UUID field at the bottom, and click "apply UUID":
>c224a70f-64d6-54c2-0704-803019b7ed99
This works, but only for a second before it reverts to the standard eye :(

>>42397518
Click "ok"

>>42397519
that don't work either

>>42397527
See >>42397495 again:
>the little thumbnail next to the "layer 3" text
That is not the little thumbnail next to the "layer 3" text
That is not where you apply pupil textures from
That is the composite preview of all the eye layers

>>42397529
you were right >_>

and with that, i do believe i have done it, and it only took 4 hours!!!!!!

>>42397551
Ooo that's actually really good

>>42397554

>>42397551
>only took 4 hours!!!!!!
that seems to be the golden rule. whenever I do new looks it also magically takes like 4 hours

SL (or Firestorm) won't "save" any attachment updates until detached - ie, you can still copy and paste the original at any point while still wearing the edited one.
This knowledge has saved my flank many times from forgetting to tick edit linked before making a texture change...

>>42380968
i must thank you, anon, and thank you everyone else who helped tonight.
>>42397864
ooh didn't know that part, that would've helped (I ended up getting it redelivered and then experimenting only on copies)

The thread is useful!
Woah! We need popen building workshops sometime

>>42397957
I've always thought that a king sombra popen is just what the world needs

>>42397340
>>42397495
The eye features in the customization slot are EVIL. Edit menu is just plain easier when it comes to eyes

>>42397961
I know one powy who is a total simp for this case

>>42398132
I don't now (You) so that must mean there's more of us out there...

huh how was it a dox

>>42397961
Ask Marble to see their Umbra.

>>42394858
is it actually possible to force the expression HUD blush to stay a different color? There must be a way to stop it scripting itself back to that garish red every time.

>>42398624
I just use Quote's or Desu's blush. You can add you own blush textures of you want too.

Viewer says we should do this is it safe?

>>42398624
In theory yes, the default hud just doesn't do it. Desu's should work but it doesn't have the default textures.
>>42398626
What's quote's blush?

>>42398627
Alhamdullilah we shall be rebaked soon

>>42398650
>>42398626
desu's blush is pretty great and has a lot of nice options on top of being able to recolor the blush, it's one of my go-to's for any of my avatars

I'm working on a funny building kit that's going to (hopefully) be low li, with working physics and lots of options, do popens have interest in this?

>>42398673
Yes. I do, would save me making buildings constantly.

>>42398654
you dip you made me laugh like a retard

>>42398729
Wtf where is the chin

>>42398729
>quack

>>42398695
sick
I'm planning to make doorframes and window frames, doors, shudders maybe, and might do curtains as well. I also wanted to possibly do some bay window wall shapes maaaybee.
if you had any additional suggestions on stuff that would make building easier for you I'm open to ideas

>>42398673
Yes please yes yes

>>42398132
Me too........
>>42398389
Her umbra is very hot and plappable and I love her very much but man would I not hesitate to get drunk huffing the fat balls of a proper stallion sombra

>>42398389
is it rude to make a popen that already exists? i was planning a Queen Umbra soon, never knew Marble made her already.

>>42398839
Queen Umbra is not a popen it's a fandom OC you retard
Making an actual popen isn't necessarily rude as long as it's done for fun, popen cloning is a hobby for some. But that's for actual popens, not existing OCs or characters

>>42398673
i didn't evwn know this was a thing ponies wanted but yeah go for it, just make sure you don't make the UVs/faces a huge pain in the dick to work with and keep them consistently sized

>>42398847
I am making an attempt to make UVs as user friendly as possible as I also hate when I think a building component is neat but then the UV is fucked six ways to tuesday and thusly making it unusable
I'm only upset at the arbitrary 8-face limit for SL, because I could make things so much better if I could just have more faces on an object...

>>42398845
i am well aware she isn't an original popen as i'm a fan of the character, but i haven't seen another one made so far.

>>42398868
My point is you're not "making a popen that already exists", because Umbra is not a popen

>>42398867
You just trivially make it into multiple objects. They can then be linked together anyway.

>>42398867
honestly it kind of depends how you break down the faces on the model and how you intend for it all to fit together, like windowframes and doorframes can hide unsightly seams between the interior and exterior wall faces and its not like the caps at each end of a modular wall segment need to be tintable

>>42398881
>>42398893
the frames and extra stuff are intended to be separate objects but I wanted the wall segments to be all one object so they can be stretched more easily to preferences

>>42399000
I'm pretty sure linked compound objects can be stretched the same as single-link objects, no?

>>42399007
not only on one axis
single link objects can be stretched on any axis, and multiple link objects can only be stretched on all axes

>>42399007
okay so only scaled, not stretched, unless it has a resizer script in (why tf didnt LL just add that functionality to the edit menu i will never know)

>>42399009
>>42399012
Oh huh, fair enough.
I noticed this difference but I always assumed it's prim objects that can be stretched on one axis, and mesh objects can only be rescaled. Apparently I'm tarded

>>42399013
>Apparently I'm tarded
it's ok anon we all are in some way

Nothin like hoofball on a saturday. Ponyville's field is cute too, very nice job!
