not quite there yet…

Another day in the mines of improving OpenFlight response. I did delve on in there and improve it, though.

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

HECK YEAH. There's some stuff on there I simply can't get down on this model, like bones and number of constraints, so Quest Medium it is!

manyblinkinglights.itch.io/fluffy-gryph... If you want to do some free bugtesting for me, I'm doing an emergency update to fix some scuff... and WIPs of the Quest POOR gryphons have snuck themselves in. If you're a Quest user or know about Quest stuff, I'd appreciate feedback!

Okay the Quest versions won't pass through the facetracking, but they DO fit the eye tracking ear stuff. v_v

Bird stack! Featuring the AMAZING fluffy gryphon avatar made by @manyblinkinglights.bsky.social! You can find this model for sale on itch (manyblinkinglights.itch.io/fluffy-gryph...) along with links to public test versions, as well!!

!! alert alert !! A man just unpacked a full desktop setup at the coffee shop I’m at. Monitor, tower, keyboard, mouse. I thought this was a myth made up by 4chan. What a Sunday delight this is.

A piece I wasn't happy with, took forever to finish. I just decided to upload today. #gryphon #bees #battle #fantasy #fantasyart #gryphonbattle

QUEST POOR GET :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD I just need to get my baked bangle illumination tweaked, it looks like Questies can have steady bangle illumination, maybe even a slowly shifting rainbow! Not to the music, but, still!

the rare crested tumbling gryphon (I promise @manyblinkinglights.bsky.social fixed this already but lmfao)

It is TIME(tm)… for… looks around cagily… QUEST PORT

apologies for the horrible camera movement, but some people were curious about how this looks in first person! there's a cutout mirror in front of me (featuring a cool popup instance a bunch of nice people were at. I can't resist flying in openflight worlds)

Packaging project update up... POSTED

So, I noticed a new evolution in the way comics are displayed in book stores today. I found a shop that placed comics in the comics section, but also on a single shelf at the end of each genre section. So if you are browsing fantasy, the books beyond Z are all fantasy comics.

hoooooooog getting closer. I am FAIRLY CERTAIN everything is ready to package up, but I don't want to be wrong about it, and I'm super sleepy. >_< I'll try to tie up loose ends today to make sure it's super ready for, like, tomorrow.

My anteater from 2011 spotted in the wild, still out and about 14 years later!

I just need to get my accessories added to the Substance file + updated on the wingless variant and then I can post a big fixes update >_< I fixed collider flight! Tail jitter! Headpuppet! Added trigger grip ear waggle on fist! Added offhand-trigger-grip-driven talon clasp on forefoot pickup!

My trusty SpinDamp float… it does so much for me. And yet it is beset by various ailments

my luscious baked bangle illumination... they're set up to glow steadily, but flare a little bit and cycle in hue when their audiolink band is active. So each song will create a realtime bangle rainbow unique to that moment. :V

Finished a beast on Monday, but forgot to post it. Definitely in the final stretch for my wood firing.

Anteater commission from 2011 #fursuit #fursuitmaker

I worked my tail off on baked party bangle illumination but of course they look simultaneously too busy AND too coordinated with the fur audiolink ;_;

come with me on an afternoon flight :> #vrchat

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

writing "self defense" on all my ammo just in case anyone ever asks me any questions that are already answered by the ammo

manyblinkinglights.itch.io/fluffy-gryph... Big rig update! Vastly improved wing behavior, various rough edges sanded down.

OKAY! My chair issue has been marked as Tracked (THANKS), so, for now I’ve set up the controller to use the old system… UNTIL InStation becomes True. Then you get punted into the new system. Backing up and packing up for update!

feedback.vrchat.com/bug-reports/... PLEASE everybody upvote me. I would love to be booboo the fool here and have a staffer chime in with some super simple thing I missed, but I'll settle for it turning out to be VRC's fault so they can track and fix this.

Catbirb gang fun with my dear goobers @drsolitarius.bsky.social @axelon.bsky.social plus bonus @ponynok.bsky.social because she's awesome too Gryphon avatar model by @manyblinkinglights.bsky.social with animation, shaders and other cool stuff edited by @purpzie.com (TY so much for sharing!) #vrchat

Fuck it, I’m calling it. The avatar is fixed as soon as you get into any station, and it stays fixed until and unless you reset it. Not my problem

Sorry, development has been paused while I try to figure out why the new stepping system only works properly after getting into and out of a chair. Upside down emoticon

YELLING. SACRED HELPED ME GET THE HIND STEPPING PERFECT I got walked through how to get "rate of change of a float" and now the hind stepping is PERFECTTTTTTTTTTTT. ymmv but it's been so ass dogwater for so longggg that to me it's now PERFECTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

The wingless gryphon gets bumped to Poor if I put the new headpuppet rigging on it, so it'll have the old headpuppet rigging--which is better for reaching all the way down to your feet, anyway. It still gets fixed ears, no more butt scooting, jitter fixed, and various other rough edges sanded down.

the furries defended us the juggalos defended us and even knowing this, I was still not prepared

salmon (because is Pacific Northwest)

whale

luminata!

Another artist told me once to go see the full-size Muchas because you can see all the errors. I did and damned if she wasn’t right. It was a weird relief.

SHOWER. CAFFEINE. GET DRESSED. BLAST PODCAST. FINISH PROJECT TODOS

what a haunting call

Update tomorrow, just rig stuff (better wings, no jitter, bilateral headpuppet, working vore chair). Just need to test the regular chair, test collider flight, and fix up the wingless gryphon. There are still loads of tag ends and rough edges, but they’re Blender and Substance things. Later.

Blender Physics are killing me, man.

do you think birds reared by puppets feel a little weird about it when they become parents. like wow my mom was so stoic.... how did she do it.........

just started having recency bias and i love it. easily the best bias

The brain tricks us constantly. It mistakes scrolling and "seeking information" for DOING THINGS. That is not doing. You have to act.

Bring your drawing and 2D style to the VR World Having Your own avatar is easier than ever. gum.co/2DAvatar?a=697548371 2D avatar, your new way to create avatars with just drawings here on #VRChat #VR #3d #shader

I just stretched Unity across all three monitors to get enough GODDAMNED SPACE to retarget these animations through the native UI

I must grudgingly concede that I am now animating. It only half-counts when it's single keyframe static poses in blendtrees driven by user floats ok!!!!!!!!!
