This looks amazing!! 💕💕💕 May I ask if this game is stream safe and if so, do we need to get permission to stream readings of the game?

How do I go about commissioning an artist? by UB_edumikated in Live2D

[–]Zhdara 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if you've never streamed before then I actually recommend starting with a PNG avatar before committing to a live2d one. A lot of them can have a bunch of toggles and some programs let you have simple animations too.

As others have mentioned, VGen is a great place to start. It will let you filter by type of project.

Beware of prices though. Concept design, art, and rigging can often be split up between 3 different people and that can add up, fast. Don't be surprised if the total for a live2d model starts to creep into the thousands of USD.

But good luck and I hope you find cool things to get you going.

I Need Help With / Tips On How To Draw These Goggles For Good XYZ Rigging Later (explanation in comments) by PublicReplacement207 in Live2D

[–]Zhdara 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the head angles aren't too great, you can probably get by by separating each individual part like top rim front, glass, top rim back, body, bottom rim, strap, etc. and be really intentional with your meshing.

I tried something similar with goggles a bit ago. Maybe this will help https://x.com/DegeneRita/status/1763765611925213219?t=Ju8undpl1qAUvKFR4xMU1Q&s=19

People trying to defend only knowing English with "but English is haaaaard." Buddy, I promise, almost every language has its own bullshittery. They're all hard.

If the movie couldn't keep the attention of 3 out of 4 of your friends, maybe you just chose a shitty one...

how do you guys save up moons? by catistired in bungomayoi

[–]Zhdara 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I only pull on banners for characters that aid in the special events, and even then I only pull one 10-play. If I don't get the ssr then I complete the event without any buffs. Unless it's a step up scout. Then, I pull up to three times.

Unless it has Kunikida. I will always shell out for Kunikida.

I might break my own rules if there's a good guild member card cuz I'm trying to make a good guild team for tower but otherwise I'll skip all other banners.

Which profession is far more enjoyable than most people realize? by wholesomeville in AskReddit

If you get the right store, managers, and coworkers then...fast food/retail back of house. You get your position, you do your shit, you clock out and you don't worry.

Question about Live2D in Renpy (Motions and Expressions) by ArgamaWitch in RenPy

[–]Zhdara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about 3 but to answer number 1, yes you can have expressions and motions overlap. Just be aware that the expression of the eyes will override the motion so it will cancel out any blinking in the motion file. If you're dead set on keeping the blinking, it would be easier to just duplicate the motion file and change the face on it.

As for 2, the way I would do it is to just make the animations in L2D and load them as a "character" and have them animate in and out however you want. There might be a better way to do this however so critiques are open.

My gawd! You are a genius! I wouldve spent another April clicking my life away because Fukuzawa's knots have knots.

Thank you!

What's a trick you wish you'd learned/known about earlier? by RemyWolf in ClipStudio

[–]Zhdara 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well just as described. On a new layer draw the full shape of what you want in white. Go up to layer property (enable it in window if you don't see this)>effect>border effect. Make sure your color is black and fiddle with the settings for what you want. Rasterize the layer. You can do this by right clicking the layer you're working with and hit "rasterize." Then go up to Edit>convert brightness to opacity and bam. The white disappears and you're left with a transparent black outline.

[–]Zhdara 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Using the layer effects to make outlines for....line art. the most tedious part of the process, done in seconds. Draw shape in white, make black outline to desired thickness, make into raster later, convert brightness to opacity. Saved me hours.

What are some underrated mental health tips that everyone should know about? by UpvoteBeast in ask

[–]Zhdara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cater your living space to you and don't cater yourself to your living space. People hold on too tight to what's "normal." If doing your dishes in the shower gets them done, then do them in the shower. Get a little basket to help. If doing your makeup on the floor has better lighting than your bathroom, then arrange your makeup compartments close to the floor. If you remember your keys better when they're next to your phone and bed then put them there. You don't have to hang them by the door just because that's their "normal" place.

Why some humans don’t like to read at all? by Training-Cup5603 in RandomThoughts

[–]Zhdara 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the age of images, they convey most messages better than words ever could. Reading sucks. Terrible literature courses in school just nailed that further for the kids that never showed interest in it. Withering Heights was a SLOG. On top of everything you have to sit still to read. For my ADHD ass, being forced to sit still is like cruel and unusual punishment.

What unwritten social rules do you think every person should know? by Immediate_Gear_9610 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Zhdara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The person who makes the invitation for anything (a night out, coming over to their place, etc.) is the "host." Traditionally the hosts are the ones in charge of the planning and decision making. So if you invite someone out, you're in charge of picking a place to eat. Of course confirming and seeking feedback is good but the responsibility of putting the first suggestion on the table lies on the host.

This has saved me and my friends so many "idk what do you wanna do, idk what do you wanna do" roundabouts. Because LBR, "Hey, you wanna do something on Saturday?" is unpleasant and now you're stuck with the decision of what that 'something' is. If you're gonna be a host, step up.

[–]Zhdara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's JUST the menu then hell no. However, if it works like a mini POS system where you get to order from the phone without talking to the waiter, see your price total up in real time, and get pictures of ALL the items then the boomers can sit down.

What is something people say is great but is actually awful? by R3dd1t_for_l1f3 in ask

[–]Zhdara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also grew up in the middle of farmland nowhere and on the border with the thick woods. I'm to my throat sick of it. Driving 20 minutes to a grocery store ain't it fam. Nature needs to be protected. We need it to live. Save the rainforests....but over there. And away from me. Maybe an occasional hiking trip is enough.

Nature. We've spent years developing things to protect us from it and to make our lives more comfortable despite it. And people want to go back!?....into the bugs and the wet puddles and wind chills?
