• Sorry. Just bringing out some random leftovers. Not a bombastic return to the figure scene with me tossing out some random leftover stuff from animation, but I know this stuff is useful to a lot of people so…
    Might work with Manto to release some of his gorgeous work from the episode. I know a lot of people could make use of that stuff too.

        The gaps in between the wood will disappear through the anti aliasing at 1080p with what I found since they were so thin. Same thing happened with the facial details of characters when I was making the episode. In 4K that all returned. Or maybe it was like anything less that 720p since I do all my test renders and lower qualities. Pretty much the idea of it.
        Plus when you stretch it vertically, the lines get thinner so more likely the lines will disappear at lower resolutions.

          interesting, good to know

          btw, you export the video by PNG images in 4k? then compile it together?
          i feel like that’s a very storage-intense process
          and probably takes a day to export a full animation

          • Replying to: Ralph (Developer)interesting, good to know btw, you export the video by PNG

            Yeah. PNG frames all get exported at 4K. Mobile both does not have enough storage and power to do this efficiently so I just move project files onto my PC. I use bluestacks to emulate SN and then export animations there. I compile the frames using blender at a lossless quality since that is the only way I don’t get artificts using blender for that. Then make the project watchable by using a totally payed for out of date adobe media encoder and use that to compress the bitrate and make it watchable. And yeah. Everything 4K 60fps when I upload the animation now. All of this made the folder for PL Episode 4 like 100gb in size. So yeah. Storage intense but the results are worth it.

            • Replying to: Explosive BulletYeah. PNG frames all get exported at 4K. Mobile both does no

              Exporting doesn’t take too long and surprisingly exporting the 44 minutes of 4K at 60fps took 1 hour and a half or something like that. PC kinda has a beast for a CPU though. Old 1660ti is having its day though. Still going good though.

  • Recently posted some behind the scenes stuff from Episode 4.
    Now it’s a new year and I have a lot of goals. Hopefully I can efficiently get an episode made this year. Iron out the last problems that are holding me back and power forward with more content. Already starting work on the next episode and in the next bit I hope to show off some improvements to all sorts of stuff. Finish remakes off and move forward with more new content than remakes.
    Right now I just need to set up something sustainable between animating a new episode and managing the slave labor in the team. as well as the job I plan to pick up this month that is consistent with work hours. Making a fraction of a dollar off youtube content (and that number is dropping) is simply not cutting it.

    The grind of working on PL continues, this time starting with some direct help.

  • Update on my battle with the 512 memory limit:
    Defeat. For now.
    .prop file is just replaced as I overwrite or edit it to what I want and need.
    Some security thing I need to find out how to bypass.

  • Okay so I typed this out once but the website decited to screw me over and erase what I typed and send me to the stickfigures tab somehoe without my tapping anywere neat it.

    That dalvikvmheapsize is what was at a value of 512mb. It is part of the build.prop in android which decides many core thing of how android runs. The dalvikvmheap size is the memory allocation for apps with the largeheap command which requests more ram to run. SN does have that command, but the max RAM usage is that 512mb value which is supposed to be put in there. (In the screenshot I changed it to 1280mb to test.)

    Well here’s the catch and my struggle with this. Rooted devices require a superuser application to grant root permissions. You cannot change the buildprop file without mounting your device as R/W (Read and Write) when by default it is R/O (Read and open?)
    A superuser application can grant this permission, but the superuser app has to actually work and be up to date. While the superuser apks I have been using that other people have been using have appeared to try and grant permission, things like root explorer don’t work with the superuser or with certain superuser apps, whine and say my device is not rooted.
    This could just be a problem with bluestacks as an emulator and it’s root access feature, but I am at the doorstep of finding a way to changed that 512mb limit.

  • For anyone wondering. No I did not intend to delete my server, no my server was not deleted by discord, that would be accompanied by a message as to why, no it is not the whack ass theory of there being CP on my server (there never was any posted though there was one thing of zoophilia which was deleted immediatly and that person was removed I do believe.)
    This is my brother who tried to hide what he said and punish me at the same time I suspect. I left for work and my tablet was unlocked with my discord.
    I now have a password and am working to have the server restored if possible. If it is not possible, I will make a new one in the next few days. Would be tragic as there is a lot of stuff on that server (besides sarcastic n words) that help a lot of people and provide information to my work. Stand by. I don\’t have time at the moment to dedicate my focus to this. Please let others know if you can as I do not have the time to respond to the 80 messages I have recieved on all forms of media.

        You know the definition of sarcasm right? The n words posted were the same as the n words posted in ArcFi. Meant to not be taken seriously and were not used as a way to degrade anyone for their race. And no they were not said as much as you would think. And yes there were like 3 black people on my server who understood this fact more than too many people out there. So yeah. They were sarcastic.

                So say I say it in reference to a quote or a line in a book that uses the word in historical context. Where it actually is used in a racist and derogatory manner. That makes me racist because I said it? Well you said no so you are just saying the word should never be said in any context.
                Let me assist you on the definition of racism.
                prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

                Use of the N-word is just like the use of gore in war films, it sets a tone in films and displays something. Power and oppression. In jokes, nothing is meant to be taken seriously. Just as people calling me slurs as well as making use of stereotypes is not meant to be taken seriously and I don’t bother crying about it. Just saying that is not how it works does not tell me anything.
                In fact use of a slur like the N-word in a joke does nothing but mock people who use it in a legitimate manner.

                You don’t gotta laugh at it. Everyone has their own humor. Working on allowing people that aren’t interested in it to get their own access to the server without running into offensive content if they don’t want to.
                Kudos to knowing you can’t really speak for POC on that to decide what is okay. The black people there didn’t care so I left it alone. But racism isn’t limited to POC and people tend to forget that. Ngl some of the racist white people jokes can be pretty funny.

                Yes, because none of that actually happened. Could have happened with the less moderated days of the moderators and they never let me know. Dunno what you are trying to grab onto but I dealt with all forms of racism directed at anyone if I saw it.

              Bullet. The hard-r, used sarcastically or not, is still the hard-r. The problem isn’t that you never drew a line. It’s that you drew the line in the wrong place.
              I don’t even care if you guys use the soft-a (is that the right term? I’m not totally clear on that) but the hard-r is just a word that feels filthy to say. Leaves a bad taste in your mouth, or leaves a stain on your consciousness if you even think it. That’s my belief anyway.

                No. I actually drew lines when people decided to spam it or call someone they knew was black that word. (Those situations normally had them telling me, it’s all good.)

                Fact is, it can be used sarcastically. That is my point.
                Not saying I would even use it sarcastically. So there’s really nothing to argue.

                And no, the N word was not used as much as you think. Over the course of 4 years people would say it here and there and normally accompany it with a trollface.
                Slurs are not just around the hard R. They go outside the hard R. There’s things more pressing to deal with than a word like that.
                When are not involved in something, you cannot comment on how it changed over the years.
                That server actually ironed itself out quite quick and for the last few months there was this thing called development.

                If you don’t think it should be used at all regardless of context and that you can say fuck and shit, and some slurs freely but not the N word, that is fine.

                Censorship of peoples humor is another can of worms and this is not the place to open it.
