Valoo wanted me to share my progress on his model with you, so hope this suffices!

It's texture compression artifacts from the looks of it?

Hey seriously, literally in the bills it says they'll also use identifying information, such as your age data for "other purposes". That means your data goes into a government surveillance database. This would be for ANY *OS*, which is the thing your fucking PC runs off of.

Call your reps NOW.

They'll ban your art about sexual assault and call you a pervert for bringing it up

All the support for this fella here, it's really unfortunate that companies are self-sabotaging to this degree with all these automated systems that don't even work correctly.

YouTube, get your shit together please.

the fact that legislators are trying to say that computers are devices that require id verification and tracking to use should put fear into EVERYONE. FIGHT AGAINST THIS.

this is a psa , if you visit a website that offers to let you sign in with atmosphere/bluesky

you should click the little question mark in the top right. if it says "transition:generic", that app can do ANYTHING with the data in your account, short of dms and actually deleting/moving your account..

Always comment on artwork if you can. People work really hard on their art and a simple compliment can mean the world.

Playing around with Valoo's avatar model more, trying to get more natural proportions for him so that his limbs work better for animating and posing with.
Is this the part where I say I have no idea what I am doing? Because it certainly feels like I need advice from someone who knows more about this

Goofing off with the CrossWorlds Sonic edit I made in Blender while also making light tweaks to some things

I finally have something better to post!

Go for it! and take your time if you need to, Valoo does seem to be picking up in popularity again recently seeing as a lot of others have been doing art of him recently.
Guess Wind Waker being on the GameCube Library on Switch 2 is related?

Just a heads up to fellow artists/commissioners out there!

Just a reminder that they still intend to do this, dont let the backlash die down, keep cancelling your subscription.

71.98 MB folder on MEGA 16 files

For anyone passing by that wants to play around with this mod, here's a somewhat organized MEGA folder containing Valoo and a couple other mods I threw together in the process!
(Don't forget to thank @jamejarrs.hoot.gay for a lot the work!)
mega.nz/folder/ytFV2...

@jamejarrs.hoot.gay did the Crosstalk art! that and also the voice replacement using his Wind Waker samples and the text changes (which need to be updated as of the time of me writing this since the game updated with new content recently, whoops!)

Editor view of Mario's model from "Super Mario Party Jamboree" backported onto Mario's armature from Mario Party 4, the preview is a bit glitched... Thankfully it doesn't look like this in the game but it was still a funny screenshot to share either way!

Blender viewport render of Sonic's model from "Sonic and the Secret Rings"/"Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games" doing Mario's victory animation from Mario Party 4, rigging in the face is a little awkward to get right due to the bone differences so it was kind of hard to get the mouth looking good... Still, definitely a fun idea to try!

I keep forgetting to post my modding projects regularly, so here's a couple involving the GameCube Mario Party games

Was experimenting with KawaiiPhysics in CrossWorlds modding (and running into some errors with older text mods because the game updated), have this video of Valoo with goofy ahh jiggle physics while I try to figure out something better to post in the meantime

Even weirder, the faces that already had eyebrow accessories now have eyebrows bake in while still wearing the accessory version on top of it, so a lot of faces now have double eyebrows?

A lot of the faces that already had dynamic heads for them are also suddenly a lot worse looking, Stevie Standard for example lost the rounded corners on the smile and looks a lot less accurate proportionally.
I swear, they must be experimenting with GenAI on the faces because it all looks like slop

Hey remember last summer when that whole wave of censorship and debanking started? Now this is your chance to fight back!

Attention to people living in Illinois, Chicago: you have until Thursday to register a formal message to the state legislature that requiring age verification to install Linux is a horrible idea. This doesn't require writing anything, just filling out a form. Click through this quoted post:

Uhhh holy crap y’all someone is trying to backdoor get age verification for computers though the ILGA. This is a bad bill. It cannot be allowed to pass.

I don't think age verification internet enshittification supporters understand just how many people would rather leave the internet than give up their ID to access certain websites. And how many more will just VPN their asses.

Mega thread on who is behind these age verification laws, spoiler alert it’s Meta.

defending art's right to exist, especially nsfw art, inherenetly involves you having to allow art you don't like or even think is abhorrent or reprehensible to exist. you do not have to pretend to like it or engage with it, but you need to let it exist. you give fascists an inch they take a mile.
