As fortune has it, I just downloaded a mountain bike model from cgtrader, which I plan on turning into a toy. https://www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-models/vehicle/bicycle/rigged-scott-voltage-fr710-freeride-downhill-mtb

Thanks a bunch, although simply loading them out of the room directory is not that big of a hassle. I might go ahead an turn all three objects into a single addon toy for the non hook users (do they still exist?)

Thanks man. We had a good co-op going on. I do not have access to my old discord anymore. I will see, if I can set up a new one, but it has lo prio right now.

Hey guys, As you might have noticed I had a longer absence from KE. This was mostly due to a work related burnout, geopolitical issues which required my attention, and, which probably hurt the most, the tragic loss of my SSDs. Now, I managed to piece some things back together from old cloud backups, this site, mega, and cgtrader, but it was a long and painstaking process, and there is still a long way to go. I will basically have to relearn the skills for creating objects, set up all the tools again to a standard I am comfortable with, etc., which also means it will take a little while before I can continue the previously abandoned pet projects I had. So bear with me.

Now we need planes as h5ms and toys I do have a Boeing model with interior floating around somewhere. I can make a toy or H5M out of it, but expect a couple of polys

Heyas, Found a nice texture I wanted to use for stockings, so I added an activemod folder with the files F_Stockings.png and F_StockingsFeet.png, in the believe it would add to some default stockings. Since I haven't dealt with clothes textures before, I am very likely doing something horribly wrong, as they don't show up in game (as in: they are not listed) What do I need to do? EDIT: For shits and giggles I renamed them in mod_xxx and added txf files for them, with the result they were listed, but did not really show up on the character. I did notice some small patch of texture on the right heel, though Do I need to resize the pngs for that (They are currently in a weird 512 x 372 and 256 x 256) ? Does the problem come from using 4k mod?

Yeah, I am fed up with animations for the moment, since I ruined one and lost my nerve over it Maybe in a couple of days or weeks I might start again.

@KOYOT909 & @x17 Yeah, I do not really plan on such things. What people do with it afterwards is not really up to me, though. EDIT: The "rooms" are mere backdrops and are not focused on anything fight related. The Hanoi scenes would be more nightlife related than anything else, for example.

I understand. I am not intent on recreating events, just the gist of the era. Is that okay? I mean, if not, then all WW2 vehicles would have to be removed, too (and I am saying this as a German, mind ye!). I don't see much fictional or cartoonish about a SdKfz or a Tiger Tank. Or any specifically historically tied weapon. Doesn't seem to be traumatic to anyone. But Vietnam is where we draw a line, it seems. Why? Too many Americans here? Might replace all weapons with a cartoon gun that shoots a flag reading "Bang!". Sorry for the sarcasm, by the way. I mean it. I just cannot make sense of it.

Heyas, I am currently working on too many things at the same time, so I am trying to get some order into the clusterfuck I got severely sidetracked by starting to learn the basics of blender, which is eating most of my time recently. But I think the results are okay enough to move on to bigger projects. I do have a sequence I am working on, but atm just barely. Most of the time I spend on creating toys I know some content creators would need and hopefully love. That gives me the practice and background knowledge for my next big project. (EDIT: main reason I switched to making stuff in blender was an irreversible accident while animating a pose, which made me bite my table in frustration. So I took a break from animating). I also still have a house to finish. Next project: A series of assets based on the Vietnam war era. More specifically timelined around / shortly after the Tet offensive. Nam-69, if you will I have started work on a military camp room, and have plans to expand on that with other appropriate rooms, like Hanoi street / bar scenes, etc. Of course over time that will also include appropriate clothing assets, but that's far enough in the future still. Clothes still scare the living shit out of me. I guess I spent a good hundred bucks today on assets. Before that, I do need to get the Hook5 basics straight, though, which also takes a bit of time. I use my toys to practice for that. Why Vietnam war era? I think it's the perfect backdrop for all things sex, drugs and rock'n roll, and it is rather timeless with its very own aesthetics. It was wild and lawless.

Yes and no. There I can reserve a number, but how do I know what numbers are already reserved by others? Will the form spit out a message, if I try to reserve a number that is already taken?

Maybe a stupid question, but how do I see which numbers are already taken?

I have quite a few animation ideas I am working on, as of this moment. Some of them are here. I am currently also working on a fully synched violin animation (only one stanza), but have no really valuable pics of that yet and it is just for ego purposes. All of those (except for the portal one, which I kinda ruined and have to fix ) will be part of a seven part story called "Purgatorio": Superbia, Invidia, Acedia, Avaritia, Gula, Luxuria, Ira "Lamb of God, you who take away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us - grant us peace" P.S.: The workings of this blog thingy are extremely odd, so bear with me. Some pics show, some don't. Damned if I know how that is decided upon.

It makes for a perfect crime scene.

I love the misty early morning atmosphere of it.

Can't wait for this one!

Didn't know I needed this, until I saw it. I think your gritty locations go well with my gritty story style.

Uuh. I love this!

That's a setting I could make good use of, I think.

Love that twister! That part of the room or toy?

So, one of my favourite pastimes is to create elaborate Sequencer stories, and I noticed that sequences are a bit of a non-existent thing here. I normally do it for my gf and myself, but I can basically do it for anyone (What fun is it to play a sequence you already know every nook and cranny off?). If you have any sequencer requests, provide me a topic, a preferred location (or multiple), and the models required (plus maybe required addons to make those models work as desired). Now, keep in mind, I can add any number of characters to a sequence, as long as they use the same base model (e.g. you can have 5 or 10 or 20 clones of a model all with totally different looks, I can add them all into the sequence. Just only four at the same time.). Depending on the details of the request, it can take me several months, to complete a sequence, though (finding or creating poses, adjusting them to the new set, etc.). Keep that in mind, but I will deliver. The sequences will be branching and spanning a multitude of rooms, if you so desire. In case of me using special rooms, multiple rooms, etc., I will provide you the links required from KE. No other rooms/addons/etc will be accepted or used. Reply here, or send me a message, whatever you prefer.
