Ok so I also wanna show my perspective of how this looks in vr, I think a lot of folks don’t have access to headsets honestly so I’ve been getting/seeing a lot of people asking if flying in vr is in first or third person camera, so, here’s a vid! I hope I’m not spamming @hiyu.bsky.social with how-

Sorry not sorry, posting another tridrogon flight vid in @hiyu.bsky.social ‘s world cause the clouds are next level immersive #vrchat

If anyone happens to be at the White House event and catches some of the forecast insects, I will happily take them to accession into a public research collection for posterity.

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

JUST needs some wing fold fixes (wayyy tightening up the folded default) and for me to put the original smooth FBT Rollover back on…! But I fixed bugs and polished and tested physbones and broke things and fixed things all day so now I’m too sleepy x_X

ughghghghhh plz tell me I'm hunting down the LAST bug before I can put in the headlook wing lock and the better FBT rollover and have a postable build. gah. (Some subtle wing stuff in the direct blendtrees is additive rn and I'm trying to unpick it).

seeing @hiyu.bsky.social's cloud experiment world with @evalka.bsky.social's ships was a really cool experience

I feel like a prayer was answered for wanting more flying worlds, this is a WIP world that @hiyu.bsky.social made with the most INCREDIBLE clouds to soar through. This is within #vrchat

creatures (featuring @tokyozilla.bsky.social's tridrogon chasing me around) I forgot to turn culling off 😭

I have relatives descending unexpectedly (well I didn't expect it. I'm not very perceptive) and I am just so sleepy, but this is the Crossplatform WIP: vrchat.com/home/avatar/...

Sometimes you need to catch on fire to see what you're made of.

Got the Tridrogon by @tokyozilla.bsky.social and god damn to feel the huge wave of dragon euphoria hit me while flying is something else 💜 Pictures taken by @vivishwolp.bsky.social World by @purpzie.com

Still testing and fixing; had a break in my momentum from my copy tool missing an Is Local checkbox and me not realizing that was the issue :P Now just the last handful of fixes and tests and fixes and tests and—-

In under the bone (100) and constraint (141) limits!! And polycount (17k)! And phys bone count (8)! No phys on ears or tongue, sorry. (They do move with blendshapes). If this is a dealbreaker, the deeper rerig that’d need will take… more than a week.

SUCCESS! I have unprefabbed the Tridrogon and am ON TRACK for Quest release "sometime this week"! Today's hurdle was that flipped-wing mesh issue; I got the LLM to spit out a spaghetti unprefabulator for me, which will immunize me against prefabs forever. Tomorrow I start the actual Questification.

“he leapt broad-winged onto the wind’s shivering back” is a turn of phrase seared into my retinas from reading The Black Gryphon so many times as a kid. I! always! wanted! TO DO THAT!!!!! (this post brought to you by rewatching Tridrogon openflight clips.)

there was something about flying around with this guy that gave "belting out songs alone in your car on a long drive" and i'm so here for it. i'll have to grab a copy at some point, got a couple dragon ocs that would look great in this model world: vrchat.com/home/world/w...

Sigh. The .fbx hotswap isn’t working (flips the right wing somehow internally, making it respond along with the left one to left-wing bones; some sort of serious mesh bug, I am too exhausted to elaborate, fresh .fbx into Scene is fine but hotswap. isn’t. at the mesh level).

this #furality has been incredibly epic and now I photodump, I ACTUALLY TOOK PHOTOS FOR ONCE ITS CRAZY... I love my friends,,, I love this con, Ive had an awesome weekend 🥹💙

Okay Tridrogon PCVR is DONE and POSTED/UPDATED, to my knowledge, unless anybody finds any more bugs with it. Questing it is gonna be finished realistically sometime next week.

What is better than the amazing Gryphon avatar by @manyblinkinglights.bsky.social and @purpzie.com ? A whole stack of them! Very nomal things are happening at the #Furality avian meetup

Also got my fishing lure commission from @rookshocksshack.bsky.social!! I love it XD imma catch all the fishes

glowup. (YES today I have to add ten Tridrogon-specific things to every direct blendtree on the Underlying State layer. But... it's worth it.)

I’m REALLY excited to optimize and Questify the Tridrogon. It’s on the old AnyTaur FX setup right now—don’t look, god—but tomorrow I get started transitioning it to an FX stack with like. Five base layers (instead of like… twenty).

happy pride month 🏳️‍🌈

YCH-commission for @grayjay.bsky.social and @fynath.bsky.social ! It was really fun drawing these playful guys! ^V^

random flashback to when we were at a fantasy fair that runs into the night, and it was so cold that this fire felt nice even in a quadsuit, so cold that we did not realize until the next day that the longer fur of Isabelle's mane and inner ear got lightly singed by this cauldron 😶

I just posted an early alpha version of Fast Fur v6.0 on my Discord server. The lighting is ultra-basic, and it only supports very few features, but it's rendering ~300% more fur detail, has much longer render distance, and runs ~5-10% faster. So I think it's pretty neat!

a big reason the research drain under Trump 2 is so bad is there just isn’t enough infrastructure in the world to pick up the slack here even if other countries want to nothing out there matches the sheer scale of the university system in the US and you can’t spin it up that fast what a disaster

Happy New Murderbot for those who celebrate!

This may be my most unpopular opinion. Movie theatres should not have assigned seating

For some reason all my books seem to end up in Coming of Age, even when the age they’re becoming is over forty.

This one's educational!

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

Street pigeon gryphon. ;) One of my Furality WIP's for my booth. #vrchat #gryphon #furalityultra

A couple people are asking if they need to play BG3 first, and the problem here is that if you play BG3, this book is “wow, it’s the tragic backstory!” If you don’t play it, the book is “wtf, why did Kingfisher write a book about this vampire being tormented that has such a downer ending?!?”

I am absolutely blown away!! @lunaticforlife.bsky.social and I barely know each other in the fandom, but she decided to gift me an animated commission from www.furaffinity.net/user/kete/. It's beautiful!! Thank you so much!!
