this account is witchcraft i just want an excuse to have something running on my homelab lol

bsky pds account seems to be down lmao i rly gotta get on self hosting that one

no i just dont use it

havent been using this account for much lately but since i was posting about it before i will let you all know ive mostly figured out the 3d printing issues, and it was mostly just that i needed to vent my dryer and possibly wait for a day it wasnt 86% humidity outside

it also oozes when i use the PLA, maybe its something with my nozzle? the hotend seems so onerous to take apart though and idk how to check if the nozzle is damaged or something

do you think my filament sitting in the dryer for two entire days is good enough for it not to be leaking out of my nozzle or am i just boned with 18% humidity

:)

didnt work for very long though, damn. got one thing printed and then it was back to oozing filament

turns out you just have to put the PETG in the dryer for 20 hours so it actually reaches <20% humidity

chat i think it worked

patrick star spongebob baskbetball meme ANOTHER 8 HOURS FOR THE PETG IN THE FILAMENT DRYER

i also need to find a better way of hotswapping face textures

yeah i think thats the pilot fully done

i think all of my characters will have some form of glowy bit on their design, easy for the angel with the halo but dunno how ill do that for the bunny, dog, handler, etc.

yeah def gonna make the jacket fully articulable

starting work on handler 3d model after rigging the pilot, need to figure out how to switch between trench coat closed and trench coat open. i dont think shape keys would work too well here, though maybe if i model it jacket open then use bones to close it thatd work

i have suddenly completely forgotten how rigging a model works

well, same image texture but separate UVs

two separate

yeah true, the hornyposting just hits different with the elphelt pfp i think

a few shades of black to white, purple, pale red for the tie, bright red for the collar, and yes

palette consistency mainly? im just trying not to use too many colours lest it gets too complicated for a low poly model

image showing the skirt back is actually a skirt back

that is the back it isnt showing skin lol, its just the same tone as the shirt

many women in military parade garb, all have middle skirt slits

seems to be in the middle on a lot of military uniforms

FUCK i accidentally made a self portrait

me when i completely forget how rigging a model works

doing the elphelt pfp for now but maybe for the witchcraft systems branding i change to i-no eventually

my bluesky pds account is acting odd and not loading things, anyone else having the same issue?

really not happy with that face texture actually, bigger eyes would help maybe?

textures done, time to rig
