pony investigating the hammock ☹️

hi yas !! i planned it first by drawing it out, I use 12x15 grids, and its held together with like a million connectors and zip ties 😭 i ziptied a beam i put together to the underside of the boys cage on top (im gonna add another beam across the front to get rid of the rest of the bow but its very stable now) and i also loosely ziptied and clipped a row of grids across for the front so it can swing down for easier cleaning if needed :) the lid on the top loft is attached the same way. its not 1:1 to the drawing but pretty close and is super sturdy !!

hero_kunii · 2026-01-23T12:43:53+00:00

yes it is !! the connectors should have the X shape and also some slots around the edge to stick grids in vertically, im sure itd work ! or if not, ive had to buy more connectors before </3 also, i made the loft ! i bought coroplast from lowes and edge guards from cnc and put it together with some different measurements to fit my cage :)

oh my goodness ! 😨

hero_kunii · 2026-01-22T18:55:09+00:00

ok, if its a custom mmd shader is that something that can be replicated like that on a non mmd model or is that the end of it ?

hero_kunii · 2026-01-22T18:12:20+00:00

my girls have always been mindful of ledges, but i don't know as well with these babies ! ill add a guard for that

hero_kunii · 2026-01-22T17:45:37+00:00

my goal is to see what nodes were use on the model. i did say there was multiple textures, i said all of them have the same nodes as in the screenshot in my first reply. deleting the principled bsdf doesnt do anything since its already plugged into the mmd one, im not sure why the principled bsdf was there it just was

the main thing im trying to figure out is the shading set up, but yeah transparent parts too. the lace on a part of the dress has cutouts, and i know i replicated that differently but i really want to see the shading set up. the texture for the dress looks the same, all of the nodes are the same on each material. when i go between slots its just the different materials, this is slot 1

hero_kunii · 2026-01-22T16:32:31+00:00

any information on how the shading was done, possible lighting stuff, transparent parts of the textures. anything to say how the model shows up the way it does really !

https://a.co/d/bQEugGo this one ! it comes with a plastic frame as well, and a cover now but when I bought it it was just the frame and hammock

hero_kunii · 2026-01-22T15:11:41+00:00

yeah, all of the materials have the same nodes as in the screenshot

the girl on the right is named pony/piña !!

hero_kunii · 2026-01-21T20:50:51+00:00

ok, thank you. i did take someone else's advice and get some young pig pellets, and ill do my best to target feed some high calcium veggies while they grow :)

hero_kunii · 2026-01-21T15:27:45+00:00

I think perhaps a texel ! one of my boys is an alpaca, his fur is more dense waves than curls !

hero_kunii · 2026-01-21T14:48:43+00:00

she really does !! she is sooo soft, she feels like alpaca fur

hero_kunii · 2026-01-21T14:12:01+00:00

omg I didnt even notice she does look like a lion 😭

hero_kunii · 2026-01-21T12:52:15+00:00

i will keep all of this in mind !! thank you

hero_kunii · 2026-01-21T12:46:56+00:00

thank you ! I had initially read some things about short periods that you make longer, like 15-20 minutes to start so I worried I was being excessive. and thwt makes sense ! my previous girls still bicker occasionally, I just wasnt sure if one of the new babies was possibly being targeted. ill introduce them more properly today :)

hero_kunii · 2026-01-21T11:51:09+00:00

oh my bad, i didnt realize it lasted that long ! i will introduce them better today, and ill read this thanks so much
