@scribus I think the creators had a lot of internal conflict on how to create an epic and make the episodes episodic, like Futurama and Simpsons. I fully agree with you. I really liked the characters, some more, some less, but none were truly terrible (even Elfo to some degree). It's just that the plot made all of them brainless and stupid stretching all of the characters to an unrecognizable form. Fast-forwarding a lot of the plot didn't help. In this season, multiple times, there was no reason to stop a chase but it happened despite no reason at all.

@scribus Belated, but it was sweet and spicy garlic sauce uwu

@scribus Thanks. The bill was 65€ for that. I will certainly suffer for pleasure of owning a home, especially since there was nothing done for over 40 years and has still wallpaper from the late 70s. What has to be done: New switch box (solar power ready), new electric cables, new windows, roof isolation, the wilderness of a garden needs to be tamed. Also when I'm at it I'll lay down network cables everywhere, at least CAT7 and glass fiber.

@scribus You made me hesitate with your remark, however as I look up images of giraffes being born, they usually have spots.

@scribus Musk made Xcrement out of Twitter. Somewhat fitting for Twitter, being the outhouse of the Internet.

@scribus Could be worse. You could wear those novelty house slippers that make a "fun" sound when making a step.

@scribus how are you ?

@scribus To be totally frank: I have a long history of having many dead characters and stupid moments initiated by my dumb decisions. This time, I swear, wasn't the case.

@scribus It's a female lizardfolk grassland druid with the name "Chamilia Moonsicle". This type of druid is not a tank. With the natural armor and a wooden shield she has 16 AC. Not bad but still too squishy for my taste.
The first down-to-zero-HP moment happened as she examined a weird barrel that happened to be a mimic-like animated creature. The next time it was a Quickling she managed to percieve (Quickling moved extremely fast) and followed a few steps out of the door, where she got stabbed 3 times with high damage rolls. Then she was hit to the head with a sling by a goblinoid savage (having little HP at the beginning of the battle didn't help either).
I didn't play unreasonable and not without caution but it was more dumb luck than anything else. -
@scribus Just a hunch: Are the objects in a hierarchical structure? If so then it's clear why it doesn't work. The coordinates are in relation to the parent's transformation matrix's spanning coordinate system. For example in Unity game objects are in a hierarchical structure and each transform component has only local coordinates. In order to get world coordinates transformed to local coordinates they have to inversely transformed through the whole hierarchy (matrix multiplication with inverted matrices).

@scribus Definitely look into using Blender, make the assets in like Inkscape or something, export them either as high res transparent PNGs, import them into Blender as planes, light uniformly, place the camera above the assets looking straight down with an orthographic lens, animate the assets, render out using Blender EEVEE which renders in seconds using consumer graphics hardware.

@scribus my CGI models are all built in an incredibly stupid way that would make any other 3D artist pull their hair off so for this pilot I’ve had to go in and clean up some things in the event that somebody else has to look at it.
-
@scribus That's the life of a developer/maker. Easy things taking way longer than anticipated.
-
@scribus Moho or Blender would be your best bets probably, with the latter you could just prep the images in Photoshop or something like that beforehand you could just import each element into Blender as a plane and just have the camera looking at them flat from above, with a sun lamp pointing straight down for uniform lighting.

@scribus I unfortunately do not, before they went subscription-only Clip Studio Paint EX was a great low-cost alternative for small projects (but it leaves a lot to be desired for longer projects unless you also have Adobe software for compositing). It didn’t have tweening or anything like that to speed things up though, it relied on the user being familiar with frame by frame. Blender is free and has a 2D workflow but I personally hate the drawing tools. I’ve heard great things about Moho, both versions are one-time purchases, and I was considering switching to it for Swole Foods as it’s easier to learn than ToonBoom, but I can’t personally recommend it as I’m not familiar with it myself.

@scribus (I have been staying up way too late lately, that math should have been much more obvious)

@scribus More so in the sense that it was old news by the time the episode aired - the rebate was a pre-9/11 initiative, the episode aired in 2003, & even on the DVD commentary the writers acknowledge it was a bit of a dated topic at the time. Of course everyone gets the COVID episode, but it feels a bit LATE to do a COVID episode.
