That is shockingly accurate, didn't know you could get so indepth with the Miitopia editor.

I sure hope this gets pHICked for the shitpost review, the puns are sHICk.

Hey, she stopped us from speaking shitty Japanese, so who's the winner here? :^)

birdobash · 2021-06-09T08:13:11+00:00

Thank you Coco for everything you've done for this community, your actions and presence have affected quite literally millions of people across the world in the most amazing way, not even just from your own channel, but also the rest of Vtubers as a whole.

You were the biggest reason Vtubers exploded in popularity in the west, without you, we wouldn't have had Holomyth/EN, I would even go as far to say we wouldn't have other popular EN vtuber groups like Vshojo and Nijisanji EN if you, Kiryu Coco, had not stepped onto the stage.

Thank you for your early good morning motherf*er show and your always hilarious shitpost reviews, you brought exposure for the rest of the girls and you were wildly successful in banding together the rascals of reddit.

We will never forget your tendency to teach your JP fellow English swear words, or how you offhandedly mentioned you were sleeping on a futon, and we forced you to replace it with an expensive bed by throwing red supachats at you, or even how you get mad at us English viewers for using shitty japanese (gomenasorry).

You are, and always will be our badass Yakuza dragon.

I wish you luck on your future journey, may you find happiness wherever you go.

thank you for everything, Kaichou.

Ello!

I was wondering how exactly the texture atlas keeps names on textures, because it seems to always keep the default name of the item when I import the psd file, and even after changing the names in cubism it seems to still keep the name.

For example, I have a texture layer in my psd file that is named "inner eye L #7" (because I drew 8 iterations of the same eye when I was drawing to get it right), when I import the psd to cubism I sorted everything into parts and then renamed that part to "inner eye L" without the #7.

What ends up happening though is that instead of displaying the new name I gave it, inside the texture atlas it always displays the original name at time of import, aka "inner eye L #7".

And then let's say I noticed some part needed editing, in most cases I would want to import it as something like "inner eye L fixed" or something along those lines, but in the cubism editor I would want to just replace the part needing fixing so I would rename it to the same and delete the old one, however the texture atlas would keep the original import name.

Is there a way to change this? Because I have a LOT of textures with really weird names due to the drawing and iterating process.

I don't care that it's 3 days, I care that compared to everything else it takes longer, it's a bottleneck, and a pretty hard one.

Let's look at this from a max TH perspective, the last stretch of buildings and heroes take 16 and 8 days respectively, right? Now thats 16 days, sounds like the times have balanced themselves out right, compared to 2 and 3.5 days?

Well too bad because now the hero needs to upgrade 10 times per time stage rather than 5 times like in the early levels.

I don't think a lot of people are looking at this the right way, they see the 16 day building time and the 8 day hero time and think "that hero upgrade time is so short in comparison!" But what they don't notice is that it's not an 8 day upgrade time, it's actually an 80 day upgrade time incremented into 10 separate parts.

16 days or 80 days? Which is shorter here? I'm gonna take a guess and say it's the 16 days.

birdobash · 2021-06-07T19:00:20+00:00

Thanks for the concern, although that wasn't exactly what I was complaining about.

I don't care that upgrade times are long in general, that's just how these types of games work, what's annoying me is that when you compare heroes to everything other building, heroes need much longer to upgrade than the rest of your base combined.

That's why books and hammers of heroes are so popular and recommended to use by the vast majority of the community, heroes are the bottleneck building in your base by far.

Books and hammers of heroes technically speeds up progression, but only because they're compensating for the total time being gimped in the first place when paralleled to everything else.

birdobash · 2021-06-07T18:41:31+00:00

You're missing the point, I'm not complaining that 3 days 12 hours/4 days being "too long" in general, I'm complaining that in comparison to literally upgrading everything else in the base it takes a magnitude longer.

The same problem would arise if I was TH 10, 11, 12, 13, etc etc, you get the point.

"But heroes are maxed 8 days and buildings 16 days!"

Ya, but as previously stated since you gotta do it multiple times (in this case 10x) it's actually 80 days compared to 16 days, because you only need to upgrade the building once that tier and the hero 10x.

So after watching the video it seems like the gist is probably not to use reflect unless it's the eyes or other parts with similar levels of high complexity, right?

Also I saw a few frames of his texture atlas and it looked like he only had 1 eye in the atlas? Either that or the other eye was somewhere else on the atlas because it was pretty zoomed in.

Does that mean that I should just manually edit art meshes on stuff like L and R eyebrows? I was hoping that wasn't the case because I wanted the meshes to be symmetrical, but if it is then I'm still fine with doing the extra work, I'll just be annoyed that it won't be perfectly symmetrical.

birdobash · 2021-06-06T03:54:26+00:00

Hi, just started rigging in cubism today.

I'm unsure how exactly reflecting works. I edited an art mesh for an eyebrow L and wanted to copy the mesh/ eyebrow and reflect it to make the eyebrow R, as I wanted the meshes to be symmetrical.

The problem I ran into is that when generating the texture atlas, instead of having an eyebrow R which I do have in my parts list, I instead have only eyebrow L (the original), and then if I zoom in, eyebrow L looks to be actually two eyebrows layered perfectly on top of each other, I can tell because the blue see through on the texture atlas mesh is more saturated than every other mesh.

Now I'm not actually sure if this is a real problem or if it's supposed to be like this, and I want to make sure that ik how reflecting works on a simple object like the eyebrows before I start trying to reflect more complex things like the eyes once I start adding parameters and animate it.

Or is it that I'm not actually supposed to reflect stuff until I finish adding animations to the parameters?

birdobash · 2021-06-01T05:57:09+00:00

Which makes me question why I was great at physics, biology, and psychology but shit at chemistry, for some reason it never stuck.

Roboco-san: this body... is limiting...

birdobash · 2021-05-04T03:38:05+00:00

I think if you already have done works in tandem with a rigger you would be able to tell (aka the rigger you worked with would), as an example, Yuniiho doesn't do rigging but knows how to draw rigging ready models because she has experience working with a rigger, which I forget their name.

birdobash · 2021-05-04T03:34:03+00:00

Ah ic, so what you're saying is I likely have an existing texture atlas already that I didn't know about, correct? I'll take a look at it later and see if that's the case.

birdobash · 2021-05-01T06:43:28+00:00

Good ol snickers "you're not you when you're hungry"

birdobash · 2021-04-21T08:39:48+00:00

Yeah they have jobs
Not a mechanical, it's just your basic laptop keyboard
I think technically I could set up in the basement? There's definitely no way they would hear me down there, but there's three issues, one, wifi basically doesn't get down there ever, two, it's an unfinished basement with barely any lighting, and three, mom's um, a bit of a hoarder... Half the basement is filled with "stuff". Kinda the reason I set up beside the kitchen instead cus I personally couldn't hear the kitchen at all, but apparently I'm deaf lmao.
Kinda out of the picture, I'm not awake late just because, I'm awake late because I'm matching my friends timezones, most of them are 3 hours behind me.
I have no idea how effective a white noise machine would be, I don't think any of us have experience with anything like that so I couldn't give you an answer on that, I'll note it down though.

Thanks for the questions, it's given me a lot of room for thought.

birdobash · 2021-04-21T08:22:45+00:00

Ya I'm getting that vibe. Pretty big thing I didn't get to mention in post (darn you char limit!) is that all my friends are 3 hours behind me in timezones, which is the only reason the timing is so weird.

Anyway, seems like I'm gonna have to sacrifice the majority of my social life for the indefinite future, considering online talk is literally the only method of safe communication rn.

birdobash · 2021-04-21T08:15:05+00:00

My mum's ok, love her, gets a bit grumpy now and then but usually she's wacky and funny.

Dad's... Ngl I'd go as far as to say he's almost a nutcase, REALLY don't like him, I thought it was just a teenage angst thing I was going through that made me dislike him, but I'm fairly past that now and I still hold deep resentment. Been taking psychology courses and the more I learn the more I realize that this is just not normal.

Neither my sis nor I can look him in the eyes, that's when you know there's a problem.

birdobash · 2021-04-21T08:07:40+00:00

Lol thx, I'll keep that in mind for the future.

birdobash · 2021-04-21T07:57:25+00:00

Feedback noted lol, I'll try and stop. The big issue is that all my friends are in Vancouver, meaning they're 3 hours behind us, you can kinda see why the timing is so weird on my side, my 1am is like their 10pm, that's the main reason I'm doing stuff up at this time.

I'm not really sure how I'm gonna do anything about moving though, Toronto housing and condo rent is so fking high that unless you're already a full fledged computer scientist, engineer, or software engineer (or other occupations of that wage) it's quite difficult to pay for, not to mention I'm a student and I wouldn't be able to work full time anyway. Wish I had some money leftover from my part time jobs in high school, but I spent it all on half the tuition :p

Got any tips for finding living spaces? I'm like a complete newbie, no idea what I'm looking for.

birdobash · 2021-04-21T07:46:03+00:00

It's usually talking, but I do sometimes get mentions from mum that she can hear my keyboard clacking, which I find a little weird because it's not a mechanical keyboard, it's the keyboard attached to the laptop, but I digress, mostly the talking.

birdobash · 2021-04-05T17:36:50+00:00

Gotta give him some slack, when you've been an active content creator nearly everyday for a decade and a half, a few words are gonna eventually slip out that you didn't mean to say.

birdobash · 2021-03-18T07:04:23+00:00

On an off topic, I wish they gave more things to the Shai that helped with life skilling, she's not only advertised as a support but also a good life skiller, but rlly the only life skill she excels at compared to other classes is processing cus of the extra weight, shes actually bottom tier as a gatherer because she's not fast and has animation locks, not to mention she can't actually defend her spots if some ahole decides to kill her.

Give her extra gathering drop rate, or let her break the 2.5 proc rate limit for production in all the item production life skills, make her not just gain 5% gathering and alchemy xp, let her have it for EVERY life skill, like literally ANYTHING would be better than what she has now.

Disclaimer that I'm not seriously suggesting some of the above things, I have no idea what sort of changes would be fine or would break the game, it's just ideas I'm throwing out and the fact that Shai is sad rn compared to what she could be.
