And if you couldn't attend, I also have pre-embroidered kits at my shop, I want these to be available for anyone so I offer them as name your price, anything extra goes towards funding new projects.

Get a cheap sewing/embroidery machine. last I checked a new one was about $380 at walmart.
Shannon minky cuddle 3 is the go-to for most, but felt or fleece can be cheaper for practice. Amazon has been shit for fabric ever since they shut down fabric.com and Joanne's is dead. Howl fabric is the best place I've found that carries most colors, but you need to buy in bulk to make shipping reasonable.
Also learn a ladder stitch.

Is it going to be multiplayer or against a machine? Or both?

>>42815453
Just multiplayer for now, making a chess AI that also takes spells and stats into account is a little bit above my pay grade atm haha. Would definitly love to do some kind of campaign (á la Hearthstone perhaps) to flesh out the lore a little bit at some point though, but that's for the future.

Id recommend something cheap to start with so you don't waste money like the huion Inspiroy. It doesn't have a screen but that's why its cheap. There's cheaper out there like this if you look. But, if you want a screen, a multi-use case would be like a galaxy s6 tablet. Its around $200 but you can use it for other things and draw anywhere

My local library has pretty nice filament 3D printer, so I figured I'd try and print out some Zomboid ponies into physical objects. I'm currently prepping them with a base coat of matt black spray paint and we'll see what becomes of them next. I haven't painted in probably over a decade, so do wish me luck.

thanks for the rec. i looked at a video of someone using a tablet (like the galaxy) as a drawing tablet connected to pc, but the delay was so absurd itd drive me nuts.
have only ever used one screenless tablet and couldn't handle the "disconnect" between hand and screen" but to be fair that was an old crappy tablet and years ago.
>>42820169
wouldn't the easiest way of doing it be to print them in white and then use model paints? at least thats what I always assumed

File: image1.png (2.2 MB)

>>42820861
Probably the best course of action, yes. Although I don't believe the library had any white filament available. There was yellow, pink, red, and wine off the top of my head. Maybe if I decide to visit again I'll ask them though as that'd be a good idea to see.
I came in to pick them up yesterday and they brought in another printer that uses resin, they were telling me people mainly use it for wargaming figurines. But it might be a decent idea to start with.
I need to sand off some of these excess paint droplets tomorrow and then begin the painting process.

There's no plushie thread up rn so imma post here.

What the FUCK am I doing wrong? I'm trying so hard to embroider and my thread keeps breaking anywhere between 5 and 30 stitches. It's just the blue ones too. Using Sew-Ology 40wt cause that's what was in the embroidery rack in Hobby Lobby.

Im using a Brother SE700 combo embroidery and sewing machine I bought so I could do the embroidery for my /ss/ gift, but holy shit is this the most infuriating thing I've ever had to deal with. The sewing isnt even that hard. The only thing that's stopping me from shipping this present today is the simple fact that I'm incapable of shipping a shitty product and the cutie mark is the last thing I need to embroider.

Any plushie makers have recommended thread that they buy? The manual recommends 60wt, but the white, black, and grey options are all 40wt and worked perfectly fine. Are needles important? My needles all say ORGAN(?) 90/14 except for the one that came in the machine which just says 25mm.

is there maybe such a thing as pre-made chess ai?

>>42825511
It wouldn't know what to do with the cards, or how a "pawn with +2/+2" is different from a normal pawn. Though maybe you could get by just having the AI play a cards completely at random but make its moves according to a proper chess AI

>>42825511
>>42825700
I will probably end up modifying some existing chess AI to take spells and stats into account. Several games have solved similar problems by allowing the AIs to be pretty dumb but giving them an overpowered set of spells/abilities/perks/etc.

Or maybe by the time it's time to make a campaign for this game some other autist has found it and solved the problem for me lmao

I think this is the most I'll provide for the base bible for what direction you're supposed to go in regardless of setting. You can provide the new characters, locations, bestiary, magic system yourselves. You can add any minutae detail such as unicorn bleeding silver and pegasi who knows what.
The base ideas for the atmosphere and importance of contrasts and why most of these kind of shows work and what not to do to not ruin them is what I wanted to get across.

NEO Pegasus is a Cyberpunk themed My Little Pony Roleplaying Game. Similar to other games like Dungeons and Dragons or ShadowRun, taking inspiration from Cyberpunk, Ponies, and other stuff like Borderlands.

Today's progress, need a few more coats on a few of their... coats. But I should be able to start on their manes and such tomorrow. This has been a decent learning experience, I haven't painted since middle school and these are my first ever 3D printed bits and bobs. Lots to learn still.

>>42828631

>>42828692
I made them myself, they're mainly for a mod on Project Zomboid, but I've had a few people showcase that they can be 3D printed so I figured I'd try it myself.
If you wanted to use them, feel free to plunder through the files and snag the ones you want. You'll just have to convert them to be .stl which is pretty simple.

Maybe try a simple project. I made a quick mock up, It would be very similar to your game, but it might teach you some new things about signals, tracking integers and reinforce what you’ve already learned.

For example: you'll need a way to generate money, a money sink, and of course a way for the pony to have fun or something. Be creative with it, and most importantly, have fun.

She's one of my favorite ponies, I just had to make her. Thankfully she's also fairly simple in terms of detailing so she's just about done. The Applejacks are proving the most troublesome. I'll definitely be using a white base and primer if I decide to do these again.
>>42836146
They're from a mod I make, I have it uploaded on Steam but if you just wanted the models I have it up on Nexus, too. Just download the MLP version, models are housed in: common\media\models_X\WorldItems\Ponies
Link: https://www.nexusmods.com/projectzomboid/mods/89
There are a few in the worlditems folder too, some are more recent than others and so are more detailed with their model - I've been slowly updating the old ones. I do these for fun so feel free to use them for anything.

Well, guess I'll share a little bit of my progress. A few months later after ABBA-cover, I didn't record any new songs, but I came up with lyrics for 3 more new, lol.

In the song by Modern Talking, I really wanted to use Cherry Berry as the main character first, but the song turned out to be about a background pony who washes down her problems with wine. So now it's Berry Punch (and I still had to go with Berryshine for better sounding).

Base 50 inch mare is $1400, but in the case of Trixie you have these huge accessories, so it's closer to $2000. Mares with complex manes can be a bit more expensive. There are also other optional things like magnetic eyelids that alter expressions.

This looks great! A show accurate 360 rig is something I've wanted for years. Being able to make show accurate animations with SFM type controls would result in much more pony content being made. I've thought a lot about an open-world Equestria game that plays just like an episode (if a 360 rig can be done in animation, why can't it be a model in a game?). Glad to see someone making real progress with this, getting us closer to the dream™. Just slightly disappointed that it has to rely on Harmony, I tend to hate SaaS-type stuff, even if it can be plundered. I know there's nothing quite like it, hence why they can get away with their pricing.
I tried some proof of concept stuff a while ago, although I understand Flash isn't the environment for something so advanced. Toon Boom it is then.

>>42846539
The vertical line merging with the snoot is absolutely valid. Great work.

>>42846539
> I understand Flash isn't the environment for something so advanced
m8, the show was made using it...
But, I get it, for amateur production, it's too much work.
And honestly, other software are probably better nowadays.

>>42846941
I know that, I was actually referring to the 360 turnaround capabilities. Flash isn't the environment for that, it can't warp lines the way other software can. Shape tweens are limited in the sense that tweening on multiple axes is impossible. It's funny that Adobe could have added those capabilities since shape tweens already exist, they've had years to, yet didn't, indicating that they just don't care and would rather continue raking in Photoshop and After Effects subscription money just because they can.

I just used normal citadel paints for most of it but did a final coat with Matisse paint sealer so the paint won't flake off it when handled.

I love your version though, i didn't even think to paint it as a Fluttershy, adorable.

>>42848089
It can be a bit of a time sink to get started with, but much like anything you just gotta keep practicing at it. I started modeling in 2019 and I still am not the best at it, but I find it fun.

>>42848035
Yeah that's good enough. Use an old shirt to practice a few times before fixing the plush, make sure you're putting the needle through the fabric itself and not through the fur loops, and try to get the thread color to match as close as possible.

Do I have to check another archive or does a anon here still have the files? I already got adobe animate (2015) and clip studio paint, I'd like to have the official episode workspaces to learn and work off from for the future as a resource.
I currently only have the leaked animation puppets but no puppet animation plugin for them.

Anonimators, I need advice/feedback/a second set of eyes/whatever.

I've been trying to work on a slight redesign of FiM's style, and I want to make OpenToonz (or similar) rigs in this style. My goal is to use puppeted rigs to speed up comic creation.
However, I'm making the initial reference art in Inkscape, and I am having a horrid time trying to get rotation to look right, mainly on 3/4 view so far. Profile view is the "gold standard" reference, as it was finished first.

Vid related is the rotational views, and I wanted to know if they look even remotely right, and if not, how the hell can I fix them without going crazy from brute force trial-and-error?

>>42856897
oh, hi riganon
I would’ve seen you before ages ago, how are the rigs going? I’m guessing they’re not compatible with adobe flash are they?

>>42856923
Not sure I'm the Anon you're thinking of. I haven't actually built any rigs. These are just Inkscape vectors at the moment.
I'm kind of hoping that the actual animator anons building rigs can lend wisdom.

>>42856897
Sorry, but aren't you supposed to first animate volumes, and then details?
Like, here start with 3 spheres (one for the head and two for the body) to give it a good physical feel first and foremost?

>>42858068
I-
...Maybe a triple-sphere placeholder *would* help, actually.
I've been so focused on making sure the general body *design* is correct, I didn't think about it from such a technical angle.

>>42856537
Dunno about any animation _plugins_, but if you're interested in animated Flash scenes, search for the Pony Preservation Project threads on desu. The "main doc" has a section on animation with some links.

>>42856897
I like how that redesign's looking. It's close to show-style but with several features that make it unique. The darker-colored hooves, unshorn fetlocks, and slightly longer/bigger body make her feel more "solid" to me, which works well, especially for an Earth pony. I think the muzzle could be moved a bit more to the right in the 5/8 view and/or a bit more to the left in the 3/4 view so that it shifts the right amount as the head turns.

A more significant change I would suggest is rounding out the jaw/muzzle in 5/8 and 3/4 views. It might just be me, but IMHO, it's a bit too rectangular, which makes it read a little masculine to me. Female characters are often designed with rounder chins and smaller noses than their male counterparts. Your profile and front views look good in this regard; I only noticed it in the 5/8 and 3/4 views.

so i've made a modpack for minecraft 1.12.2 but as you probably know, Mine Little Pony doesnt work on Forge. i still wanted ponies though, so i've made a custom entity model pack for optifine that replaces villagers (as well as their autistic groans) with mares

i've based my model on the MineLP one but came up with some tweaks to make the ponies look better e.g. thinner legs, spine angle, tail is WIP.

the most complicated part is turning out to be the snout. the MineLP one is nice from the front but looks bad from the sides. i'm trying to make a cute one that looks closer to the show.

i've tried 4-voxel ones before but they look too wide or blocky if you got shaders. now, i simplified it to a 3x3 model which has the best proportions so far, but looks too smooth now. so i added some nostrils which look... okish but still something is a bit off, besides the fact that it now looks like Stradivarius' clop.

what do you guys think? what are they missing?

>>42879543
i think you 100% went in the right direction going 3x3, i don't fully understand what you're talking about because im blatantly retarded but the 3x3 as it is in the image seems as good as it can get to me, im not sure what you mean by too smooth, maybe you've been staring at it so long that it looks funky to you in the same way listening to a good song on repeat starts to make it sound weird or repeating a normal word constantly makes it start to sound weird
regardless good fuckin work man, i need this mod plus a sex with villagers mod so i can breed with ponies and build a huge town, maybe even a big zombie mod so i have a challenge to fight and protect the town
would be fun as fuck since i get bored with normal MC progression

>>42879543
forgot to mention, you're working with extremly limited resolution/pixels, going from 4 voxel to the 3x3 now is a massive difference, im not sure what else you could change to make it look better without making it a big change due to how big each pixel is

>>42879543
3x3 looks great, especially the leftmost twiggy
no nostrils looks cuter in my opinion, we can always imagine them being there

>>42879543
don't forget to give them all navels

The LiteLoader jar can be run as a Forge mod, which will load in any LiteLoader mods.

I've been working on a bit of a personal worldbuilding project for an original pony setting of mine. It isn't intended to be radically tonally different just more geared towards specifically a lighthearted fantasy adventure setting rather then vaguely fantasyish lighthearted slice of life yknow. Different magic system, more types of pones, idk. I've just finished the second draft of this bigass wall of text I've been writing on this rentry page as kind of a worldbuilding document for stuff I intend to do with the setting. I feel kinda proud of it. I feel a little self-indulgeant posting that kinda thing on here but idk hopefully you guys might find it cool.

I've never done anything with it so far but there's plenty in there I could do something with

these are fleeting notes and its good that you write them down. there's a book called a system for writing that talks about how you can organize and develop them. focused on writing but applicable to other artforms

i might have posted this before

You've done some good work on this, Anon. Keep it up! I admire everyone who is able to play the piano and sing at the same time. I always had trouble with that.

It's a massive file (430 MB) and pomf2.lain.la doesn't seem to be very fast (I get a download speed of about 500 kB/s from it). If you're trying to play the video directly in your browser, it's probably very sluggish because it can't get the file very fast. I recommend downloading the file directly. I did it using curl on the command line.

You're right, it's very large, maybe that's why it gives this error.

thanks, learning how to sing while playing the song took about as long as learning the song itself xd. It's rewarding when it all comes together though.

>>42890943
any suggestions for better sites for sharing videos that embed? or should I just have handbraked that shit into oblivion?

>>42891593
Handbrake would probably help a lot. I guess 500 kB/s from pomf2.lain.la isn't all that slow, just slow for streaming that big a file. Using the "Very Fast 1080p30" setting in Handbrake and reducing the video quality very slightly I was able to get it down to 13.2 MB without a noticeable difference. Handbrake also has an option called "Web Optimized" for MP4s which is supposed to make it easier to stream. Here's a reup. Hopefully it prevents the error some people are seeing:

I just bought a 19 strings lyre because I heard that it's pretty easy to learn (and because I really like lyra) but I'm at a complete loss as to where to begin learning, I've never learned any instrument or music theory and I don't know the first thing about where to begin, does anyone has advice for how I should start learning?

>>42893795
When I started learning piano (and later guitar) I just picked a song that I wanted to learn and kept at it until I got it. I played a bit as a kid so maybe it's harder when you are starting completely from scratch, but this approach is what worked for me. Also, share your progress in the thread. A lyre sounds super cool.

>>42893800
this is how everyone should be doing it. too many fall for the belief that you can't learn something without a qualified teacher. it's how creative types have scammed people for years, charging to teach people who know nothing about music things like C#Maj7 and rote memorization of scales when it's literally always been "just cover songs you like until you get them right lol". it worked for the beatles, who were pretty much a cover band before they were pressing records. and there are still people today who studied theory that can't figure out how they did it without a formal education.

>>42893800
so just listen to the song and try to make it sound the same on the lyre?

>>42893820
you're a genius, anon. you'll do fine.

>>42893824
seems a little complicated going from never having played anything before to trying to play something by ear, wouldn't it be better to start simpler?

>>42893820
That anon mentions playing a bit as a kid, so probably they already knew how to read sheet music. I'd say look up sheet music for something extremely basic (like Hot Cross Buns tier), figure out how the notes on the page map to the strings on your lyre, and try playing it until it sounds right. Then find something a little more complicated and repeat.

Probably also worth checking youtube for a very basic "how to play a lyre" tutorial, so you know the proper fingering technique

>>42893838
Just pick an easy song to start off with and just keep at it. You will learn a ton about the instrument and about music from just playing around and trying to figure things out.

>>42893859
I did know the basics of reading sheet music, but when I started learning again I mainly followed video tutorials and played stuff by ear. Learning how to read sheet music or proper fingering technique should probably be the second or third step in my opinion, learning those things will be a lot more fun and intuitive once you know the basics of how your instrument works.

>>42893874
This is just my experience though so take it with a massive pinch of salt. The only wrong way to do things is to look for excuses to not start.

>>42893874
thanks for the advice anon, I'll try your technique
>>42893878
>The only wrong way to do things is to look for excuses to not start.
I am motivated to start that is for sure, I just wanted to be sure to not bite off too much too fast

>>42893795
there are a few different things you can do that will improve your musical ability:
1. free improvisation. play whatever notes without having any particular song in mind
2. playing by ear. listen to a recording or performance of a song and try to recreate it on your instrument
3. reading sheet music. read notated music and play from that
4. read method books/watch lectures about the instrument or music theory
5. be tutored by another player

(1) is accessible and you should do it to get a feel for technique and for fun
(2) is what some of the other anons are recommending. practicing your ear is very important so you should definitely practice learning music by ear, particularly because there's not as many songs arranged specifically for 19-string lyre.
(3) takes some time to get started on but is useful in the same way that while you don't have to be able to read or write to speak, written language is a useful technology for expressing and understanding ideas.
(4) probably difficult, but look around for books or videos on it. maybe harp lessons are transferrable to lyre?
(5) is either luck or finance based but very useful if you can since you don't already have a musical background (lyre is probably not the easiest first instrument due to a dearth of online resources (you can still learn it as your first though)).

the main thing is that you have to do it a bunch to get better, so just do it a bunch
what specific lyre do you have?

>free improvisation. play whatever notes without having any particular song in mind
>playing by ear. listen to a recording or performance of a song and try to recreate it on your instrument
I've started doing those two after the other anons posts, for now, I'm a natural disaster but I'm sure I will improve
>reading sheet music. read notated music and play from that
I've found some music with the notes annotated as letters (and the lyre has the note each string corresponds to engraved above them) but the ones I found are not in the range the lyre covers, can they still be played with it?
>read method books/watch lectures about the instrument or music theory
I've found some tutorials on youtube to help me start, they explain how to hold it right and how to pluck it.
>be tutored by another player
I have a musician friend who could help me learn some stuff, sadly, he's a drummer so for the how to play part, he can't help much
>what specific lyre do you have?
pic rel
it's a 19 string lyre that goes from F3 to C6 the page I bought it from said it was a 24 tone one
2 of the strings broke off when tuning but I ordered new ones

>>42895304
>can they still be played with it?
depends on what you mean by not in range. your lyre is tuned diatonically rather than chromatically, so there's some gaps in the standard tuning (matching each string directly to the note above) that will prevent you from playing some songs. some music you could play if you transpose it, but you have to kinda know what you're doing to do that. can even play some non-diatonic music if you learn how to tune your strings to fit them. for now its a safe bet to look for songs that are in the key of C https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_major. sheet music for songs in C won't have any of the b or # symbols next to notes or next to the start of the staff lines

Eventually, when I get a recording I'm really happy with. Gotta get a better mic and fix my studio setup first.

Suggestion for the upcoming game jam. Have the main theme, and maybe three or so bonus themes that would be optional.

Any idea why DHX left out so many mouth shapes on the front and three-quarters-back views of their puppets? They're like this from season 2 all the way to season 9, so it almost seems intentional. Was filling in the missing frames just never on their list of priorities?

>>42907012
That's specifically for you to inject your own custom ones if the scene calls for it.

>>42907012
>>42907098 is retarded, plenty of those rigs are missing entire turnaround angles. filling in the angles just wasn't a priority when you can reuse what's there and no one will be able to tell. for the front view the hind legs are the same symbol as the 3/4 view I believe.

>>42907012
could be because 3/4 is the most commonly used view as it is the most appealing, so they don't spend as much time on developing other least used ones

and they have the same amount of frames for the side view because it's basically a copy paste of 3/4
