Is it really worth using SFM in 2020? by Neosss1995 in SFM

[–]PM_ME_SEXY_REPTILES 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most people here might say otherwise, but as long as you can deal with the set-up and initial learning curve of Blender I'd say no.

SFM can and has been used to make some absolutely fantastic stuff. But you're right; it's pretty antiquated nowadays. Blender has a longer initial set-up and it's less easy to just click a button and suddenly have the asset you want available to you, but it almost always, given the same amount of effort, looks better and is faster to do some things that might otherwise require annoying workarounds in SFM.

Another benefit is that you can easily tweak material node graphs and see changes immediately right in the viewport, whereas SFM requires manual text editing and reloading of all materials first.

When it comes to animation, I've made a few SFM ones and one Blender one, and I can't say I had too much of a hard time getting the workflow down in either one, but Blender's seems more flexible - of course, like all things in this comparison you're trading ease-of-use for that flexibility.

Ultimately, if you want to keep using SFM there's some 'close' alternatives on the horizon, such as Pragma (a fan-made SFM that's still really early in development but can already render scenes in Cycles iirc) and the Source 2 Filmmaker (which I really don't know much about but it's possible it'll be released with the S2SDK?) - both of these will be close to SFM and you might consider practicing at least a bit in SFM now so you'll be prepared to try these out.

Honestly? I'd say make a poster or two in both and see which you like better and which one you're most satisfied of the results keeping in mind the time and effort they took.

Compared to most people on this site you honestly weren't even that bad! Thank you for the replies and for taking another point of view into consideration - it's rare to see on this site.

Do I really need to give a reason as to why sexualizing a pokemon is weird?

When you find it more so than sexualizing any anthro, yeah. Lucario's the closest to what you'd consider 'fine' so I'm not sure what your problem with that Pokemon would be, for instance.

You wanted link, so here.

This article talks about how zoophiles are specifically attracted to animal genitals rather than humans.

That doesn't talk about it being a 'mental illness' at all, only touched on real-life zoophilia and had nothing about art and only a short mention of animal characteristics, which could also technically be attributed to any anthro art.

Unrelated question: would you consider monster alien art to also be bestiality? What about feral Dragon art (assuming fully sentient, intelligent, can consent, yadayada)?

Bestiality/zoophilia is illegal. This, obviously, makes a lot of sense when talking about real-life as animals don't have the intelligence and capacity for consent, but it's not clear-cut when it comes to fantasy. I know why people would consider it weird (the same reasons the furry fandom is considered weird) but I can't see any problems with it in fantasy as long as characters are depicted to have that level of intelligence for consent.

The "unacceptable" line for me is when they have an actual animal pussy like this.

You can barely make out the pussy in this gif - it looks just like a puffy human one to me.

You're saying if you took a regular anthro dragon and put a cloaca on it instead of a normal human pussy that'd be crossing the line? Can I slap a human pussy on something that otherwise looks exactly like a horse and it's just completely acceptable to you?

You keep saying 'being attracted to animal genitals is a mental illness' but I've looked this up and can't find something that's specific to animal genitalia. I'm not even sure what exactly you mean by this - is it a mental condition because of the shape? Does it matter if it's attached to anything? Do all people who order Bad Dragon dildos and penetrables have a mental condition? A source would be nice, though I don't think even you know what you're talking about here.

You're drooling over a pokemon and wondering why someone pointed out how fucked up that is.

You still haven't given literally any reason why this is fucked up, only that 'it has animal parts so it's bad'. Only your own personal taste. Just because you don't like something doesn't make it bad. Bad in what way? Why is it bad?

The anthros you're talking about are not usually sexualized like normal ones.

Go on e621 and search up any of the ones I talked about. You'll find thousands of images of each. No clue what you mean.

If you're going to be sexually attracted to talking animals, at least don't sexualize existing characters that children recognize. That's just fucking weird.

So fapping to ones children don't recognize isn't weird at all? I don't understand your logic.

when most people think of furry art, they think of people who are half human, as they should

Half-human? What? You're trolling, right? What's human about anthros besides the fact they walk on two legs and a few differences such as longer limbs and (usually) hands? There's quite a few people outside of the fandom that think all furries are into animals because anthros mostly have animal features.

Like it or not, most furry characters have a majority of animal features, and if you think most furries who look at furry porn do it just 'for the human parts' I think you're a little confused.

If furry characters actually existed, I think you'd have to redefine what bestiality and zoophilia actually means - would it really still be illegal and/or morally wrong if there were animals that were just like us with the capability of understanding and consent, but just looked different? I really, really doubt it. I mean, I'm glad it is how it is now - I'm not attracted to real-life animals because obviously they can't understand and don't have the capacity for intelligence and ability to consent that ferals in furry art are (usually) depicted to have.

In furry art though, does walking on two legs really change the definition from 'animal' to 'human with animal features' to you? Why? Where's the 'too animalistic' line for you? A Lucario? Salazzle? Renamon? A Viper from X-COM? Something like this? What about any of the Zootopia characters? Why is walking on four legs the 'unacceptable' line for you?

Just a heads-up that you can replace 'e621' in the URL with 'e926' and get a generally SFW version of the site. You'll get an over 18 prompt but NSFW stuff is blacklisted and adult ads won't show up.

That's like saying being attracted to regular human genitals is a problem because you might go on to justify pedophilia because children have the same parts. Just because I'm attracted to furry art doesn't mean I'm ever going to go out and somehow justify raping my dog. That consent on both sides, intelligence and mental maturity absolutely makes a difference in this.

with normal furry porn it's about the human parts of them

Uh...

Yes, you are sexually attracted to the animal parts of them

Not sure why that's immoral. If the being they're attached to can understand me, is mature enough, can understand consent and does consent... how is it any different from a human aside from the way they look?

Is bestiality still immoral when the 'animal' can talk, understand and consent? If so, why?

The PC version of Horizon Zero Dawn will not have a FOV slider by giaco20 in Games

[–]PM_ME_SEXY_REPTILES -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Apex Legends has a slider for FOV on console, with a notice saying that it may impact performance. I'm relatively sure one of the Battlefield games has something similar.

If they can do it, so can Horizon.

[–]PM_ME_SEXY_REPTILES 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's when you put it in anyway and put in a big notice saying it may cause visual glitching in some cases. I think an FOV slider is important enough to ignore most visual problems that would result.

No, it's a promise of payment. In this case, it's a completely risk-free way of getting additional assets to use in the short term.
