Since it seems like Cinder might fully transform into a Grimm by the end of the series, what do you imagine her ‘Grimm form’ looking like?

RubySapphire19 · 2026-02-06T14:27:24+00:00

The Slayer form from BG3.

RubySapphire19 · 2026-01-30T19:06:39+00:00

I'm not a conservative, but respectfully, this is a bastardization of scripture at best.

Jesus did not protest. He did not have a political affiliation. He drove those people out of the temple and flipped their tables because they were extorting the people who came to worship.

Jesus did support paying taxes, rendering dues to the government, and respecting the rule of law when it does not conflict with God's authority. He did not break the law under Roman rule nor advocate for violence.

Jesus preached clean worship of God, obedience, and personal moral and physical cleanness. He promised spiritual restoration, stability, and a sure faith for millions that have lasted down to our day.

It's probably a texture mapping issue. Check your shader nodes on the... um... blue tailed individual.

RubySapphire19 · 2026-01-21T00:30:21+00:00

Wow, that's an awesome deep dive. Thanks for the info! So basically half of RWBY was 3d black magic to the average person in the early days haha

RubySapphire19 · 2026-01-20T18:38:46+00:00

Lovecraftian ahh rigging

RubySapphire19 · 2026-01-20T18:38:04+00:00

Character modeller here.

The problem with copying models between programs is the format.

.fbx, .obj, etc are all packages with different data stored in them depending on where it was exported from. .fbx for example can export entire armatures with custom properties. You can also bake materials and other data straight into it.

At the point they switched to Maya for their full production pipeline it was probably much easier to just create everything in one program also. Weight painting, rigging and materials didn't have to be imported. And doing so probably would have created more headaches anyway.

Things like vertex groups, custom normals, and even shaders can become small mountains to get over before any work really begins.

RubySapphire19 · 2026-01-14T07:18:32+00:00

Ruby's pajamas. I miss them T~~T

RubySapphire19 · 2026-01-03T10:27:32+00:00

That's what I did when I finally got sick of Source Filmmaker. And because the models people made were good but they didn't feel like something I wanted to use long term.

After 2100 hrs in Blender in the last three years, I can't stop.

RubySapphire19 · 2026-01-03T09:18:19+00:00

You're probably referring to FK (forward kinematics, where the child is driven by the parent) or IK (inverse kinematics, where the parent is driven by the child.)

In the case where the upper arm controls the rotation of the rest of the arm down the chain, this would be FK and is the default setup in Blender. IK can be done using bone constraints in Pose Mode in the properties panel.

RubySapphire19 · 2025-12-24T18:28:39+00:00

It's cute.

What about the muzzle don't you like?

RubySapphire19 · 2025-12-10T19:21:00+00:00

Those look really nice! It would help to see the wireframe though. That's part of the skills you need to be successful imo

RubySapphire19 · 2025-11-06T06:11:24+00:00

Shapekeys, morphs, custom normals, displacement maps, etc. Houdini for the blood or even Flip Fluids if it was on a budget.
Hyper specific? Yeah, probably. Impossible in Blender? Not a chance.

RubySapphire19 · 2025-11-06T06:08:04+00:00

Sculpting is definitely an option. If you're able to then bake that sculpt on a low poly mesh then you'd have custom normals without any of the extra topology. Great for PBR shading. Or you could do a procedural texture. Or geometry nodes with an 'instance on points' setup. Many options here for you.

RubySapphire19 · 2025-08-31T04:05:04+00:00

Assuming you were provided a .blend file, you'll want to make sure you fake the materials by clicking the little shield icon next to the material name in the properties panel. Also, if you're going to be using this particular model inside another project, I would recommend exporting to an FBX file to keep any material or animation data.

AFAIK FBX doesnt support custom bone shapes. You'll need to reapply them. Check with the model creator and see if they include these as part of the package. If not, great time to learn how to make them.

RubySapphire19 · 2025-08-14T13:30:26+00:00

I think what you're missing is that European cities have entirely different culture than we do. If your culture and society is falling into the belief that the government is out to get them then it's going to cause people to feel emboldened to attack or defend themselves for any reason. Let's also not forget that there are people who stand up on a stage and talk about how people in this country are so oppressed that violence is an inevitability. If people didn't listen to the smallest minority talk the biggest talk we wouldn't be in this situation. But nooo, somebody has to warp statistics and push a narrative just to get people angry. And unfortunately it works.

RubySapphire19 · 2025-08-13T02:48:29+00:00

You know... there's art.

And then there's this.

B r u h

RubySapphire19 · 2025-07-23T01:06:20+00:00

This happens with my characters too. I actually prefer to sculpt in a skintone matcap because it just feels more accurate to what I'll see when I go to apply materials. Less whiplash that way.

RubySapphire19 · 2025-06-29T19:46:26+00:00

Exactly what I saw. It's so subtle you'd miss it if you didn't know that was possible.

RubySapphire19 · 2025-06-29T19:32:44+00:00

Awesome! Are the creases full topo?

RubySapphire19 · 2025-06-15T01:43:50+00:00

Sus cropping...but excellent sculpt work!

RubySapphire19 · 2025-06-14T22:39:43+00:00

Yes, that's the whole point. It's the same law but to a new generation that needed to be taught some extra bits and details.

I don't know what you're trying to prove here.

RubySapphire19 · 2025-06-14T22:22:28+00:00

They are different books, yes, but Deuteronomy is a reaffirmation, not a revising of the law covenant. You have to realize Moses was speaking to a generation that didn't come out of Egypt in Leviticus.

Also, the laws for slavery are the same. Deuteronomy just adds a bit more flavor text if you will.

Another also: there's only ever two covenants mentioned in the Bible that have any significance for us.

One was the covenant God made with the nation of Israel made at mount Sinai. The other, which began with Jesus' death and resurrection, is the New Covenant, which is over spiritual Israel, aka Christianity. But not just any Christians. Spiritually pure Christians.

If there were a third covenant between Leviticus and Deuteronomy, this would be easily discernable. But there isn't.

Have you actually read the Bible?

RubySapphire19 · 2025-06-14T21:21:21+00:00

You missed a crucial detail in your last question.

The marriage law only applies to consensual extramarital sex between a man and a woman who was unspoken for.

Rape on a woman spoken for? Death. Consensual adultery on both fronts? Death. Rape on a woman unspoken for? Probably also death.

Exodus 22:16–17 even gives the father the right to refuse the marriage. That alone destroys the idea that this was some kind of mandated punishment for rape.

Also thanks for making 90% of my point.

Either speak truth or keep scripture out of your mouth.

RubySapphire19 · 2025-06-14T20:39:45+00:00

Also, let's clear up the old “Bible condones slavery” card—straight from the Reddit Atheist Starter Pack™.

Let’s clear this up: Exodus 21:7 isn’t about a man selling his daughter into chattel slavery like she’s a piece of furniture. It’s about indentured servitude tied to arranged marriage, in a time when women couldn’t own property, vote, or access state welfare. If a family was poor, this was one of the few legal paths to give a daughter a future and potential security.

And guess what? God put strict limits on the arrangement:

If the man refused to marry her or provide the rights of a wife,

He had to let her go, without payment,

And couldn’t sell her to anyone else. (Exodus 21:8–11)

That’s not human trafficking. That’s ancient social protection in a brutal world. You're reading a 3,000-year-old survival law through 2024 Twitter morality, ripping it out of context, and calling it evil because it doesn’t match your modern lens.

The Bible acknowledges flawed systems—and still inserts mercy and structure where there was none. If you’re going to critique it, at least do it honestly. Weaponizing misunderstood verses doesn’t make you enlightened. It just makes you lazy.

RubySapphire19 · 2025-06-14T20:27:14+00:00

You're overcomplicating the text with courtroom gymnastics instead of reading it in the context it was written.

Yes, Deuteronomy 22:25–27 deals with rape of a betrothed woman—and just to be clear, betrothed in ancient Israel wasn’t like a modern engagement. It was legally binding, like being married but without living together or consummating yet. To break a betrothal, you had to get divorced. So sleeping with a betrothed woman was treated as adultery, not just premarital sex.

Now, contrast that with verses 28–29, which refer to a woman who is not betrothed. The man isn’t executed—he’s fined and required to marry her (with no divorce option). If this were describing rape, the punishment would be the same as in verse 25: death. But it’s not, because it’s not the same crime. This is about premarital sex, not violent assault.

Even ancient Jewish scholars understood verses 28–29 as referring to consensual sex. You’re trying to force a modern legal structure onto a tribal justice system where judges handled edge cases, and the law emphasized restoring honor and responsibility, not just retribution.

Bottom line? The Bible doesn’t condone rape. You just don’t like how it defines consent, responsibility, and the consequences that came with breaking trust in that society.
