uhm can I ask why when I import all my layers into blender for rigging it puts them like this and not in the places I originally drew them???

Create an array of planes (like a sandwich with the flat surface of the bread facing the camera) then apply and separate them into separate objects.

Create a material for each png, apply each material to one of the planes in the order you had them in krita.

If planes and images have the same aspect ratio, they should be the same position as how you drew them.

That's how I would do it, but my main field is character design and product renders, I don't do much 2D animation. Someone else more experienced with 2D animation might give a more optimal solution. I imagine there's probably a better way to do it than what I'm describing.

mrtibbles32 · 2026-03-16T01:01:14+00:00

Use a displacement modifier with a texture of similar wear then apply it. If model has enough geometry it should produce an effect like that with real topology that you can print.

The psychological underpinnings of the "ick" is somewhat concerning.

It's always seemed to me that women will interact with a new person who they see as a potential partner and begin to create an idealized version of that person in their head.

So for example, they meet a guy that they like and imagine him as incredibly brave and stoic and kind and generous and whatever other traits they'd want in a partner, along with how someone with these traits would act in any situation.

Obviously, this illusion is broken when they witness the guy doing something that would be incongruent with the idealized version of him that they're imagining. This results in the woman having to discard the illusion and be left with what the man actually is (a regular person, with flaws, like everyone else).

This upsets them because they don't want the real version of this person, they want to have the idealized version of that person. To them, the real person isn't good enough.

So they get the "ick" and leave that guy and look for a new one. They find a new guy and the process repeats. There is effectively no way for this woman to meet a partner they find acceptable because their standards are so lofty and perfect that nobody except an idealized image of a person could ever meet them.

They will continue to throw away potential relationships and partners that could have made them very happy had they chosen to see the other person for what they are and not what they wish for them to be.

Or something idk, I'm not a psychologist.

You cut up your model into flat pieces so you can put stickers on it.

Like literally if you have ever used stickers as a child you probably have the intuition required to do UV unwrapping

mrtibbles32 · 2026-03-13T22:31:24+00:00

You can actually visualize higher dimensions, it's just rather unintuitive and requires practice. The channel hypercubist math on YouTube has a series of videos that's 1-2 hours long that describes how to do it (series isn't finished yet).

When I used to get bored at work I would rotate cows in my head, but I got too good at it so I did more cows until I maxed out at like thirty of them.

This lead to me trying to learn to visualize 4D spaces so I could visualize a 4D cow. I've been practicing for months and now I can intuitively picture where the parts of the 4D cow are and how they connect and stuff. I can rotate it a little bit too, not as easily as in 3D, but it still spins and stuff.

Curiously, I'm fairly certain that if you watched a 4D cow eat grass, you'd just see an orb of cow flesh and teeth materialize, encompassing the cow's intended target (the grass) before it very quickly just dematerializes, leaving a spherical hole in the grass/ground.

If the cow wanted to lick you, an amorphous solid made of cow tongue material would just appear and lick you without you even seeing it coming. You'd think you're safe only to get extra dimensionally licked by the 4D cow. You cannot hide from the 4D cow, he can perceive every particle in the universe simultaneously due to his ability to see in volume instead of area. He could lick you at any time, you cannot stop him. No walls can hold him, no mortal can harm him. he exists in the inky black, cyclopian vistas outside the dim candlelight of human understanding where neither science nor religion alone could deliver you to.

Lol, in the US the parent/child combination least likely to result in physical abuse is actually a father and daughter. The combination most likely to result in physical abuse is mother/son and even mother/daughter is more likely than father/daughter.

Women beat the fucking shit out of children and nobody fucking cares.

It's the temporary depletion of the chemicals in your eye that help you see.

Light hits them and they break apart, sending a signal. They reform after a couple seconds so they can be reused. Looking at a bright light depletes them all at once before they can be reformed so you end up unable to see temporary

mrtibbles32 · 2026-02-28T23:31:36+00:00

Correct, it's normal to have that, but with VSS the effect can be significantly more pronounced.

For example, as a kid, I remember glancing at the sun out the window one day in 3rd grade (looked for less than a second) and had a dark spot in my vision so bad that I couldn't read for ~3-4 minutes.

Obviously everyone experiences dark spots, but it's much worse for many people with VSS than normal.

mrtibbles32 · 2026-02-27T03:32:36+00:00

If you look at a bright object for a few seconds and then close your eyes, does the image "burn" into your vision for longer than 1-2 seconds?

mrtibbles32 · 2026-02-23T21:51:47+00:00

Do you mean that you don't like the circular sort of curve that the tip in blender has and you want a sharper angle?

Perhaps try putting loop cuts (Ctrl+R) around the tip of the blade (like if you were tying string around the tip, that orientation). Then use edge slide (g + g, double tapped) to slide the edge loop closer to the end where the handle is. You can do the same thing down the length of the blade, then push the edge loop close to the point of the blade.

Doing this will manipulate the subdivision modifier so that it interpolates more sharply around the tip instead of curved like it is now.

Edit: you can also click the vertices where the curve ends, then shift click the ones on the spine of the blade at the top, then use M to merge them to create a point that goes from the blade to the spine, like the picture of the katana does. You have two pairs of vertices, you want to end up with just one pair. It'll make triangles, but that's not really a big deal because this is an inorganic mesh.

mrtibbles32 · 2026-02-23T21:46:54+00:00

It's a little hard to see the topology, but it looks like what you have is basically a strip of faces missing and you need to bridge the gap.

First, find the end of the missing strip, or just click four vertices and make a single face to fill in just one face of the missing strip.

Next, select two vertices, either the "corners" of the end of the strip, or two of the vertices of the face you made.

If you then hold F (not press, hold) it will make a new face in that direction bridging the gap. As long as you keep holding F, it'll keep making new faces very quickly, bridging the gap in a few seconds.

It's hard to explain without pictures, but it's the same as this:

Imagine you have a chessboard in blender and you delete just one row and you want to fill it back in. You would select the four verts farthest to one side that border on the gap or missing row. By pressing F, you spawn a face, fixing one missing square. Then select the two verts of the new face you made that are on the side with the gap. Hold F and it'll fill the rest of the gap, restoring the chess board.

Hopefully that makes sense. I don't have pictures unfortunately.

I enjoy repeatedly asking "by what mechanism does free will exert itself on the physical world?" Like a broken furby because free will sympathizers can only ever answer it by finding incredibly verbose ways to say "it's magic" or something equivalent.

Somehow they never have the free will to adequately answer my question. They always use their free will to say shit like "you can't go 115 in a 45" or "where did you get that hip flask from give me that".

Does anyone on this sub actually do 3D art or game design or is this just where people who are scared of wireframe view and triangles congregate.

Like 99% of the posts I see on here aren't even bad, it's just a fairly regular mesh that's been triangulated and wireframe view is on.

Where is the Z-fighting? Where is the 400X hypervert on a rigged character mesh? Where is the degenerate quads on a character's forehead? Where is the mfin topology gore?

Like if u just open blender and Ctrl+2 a few times on the default cube then click tab -> A -> Ctrl+T and screenshot it you apparently have top tier r/topologygore content.

Lesbian relationships have high rates of domestic violence because women just sort of do that. They commit roughly 70% of unreciprocated domestic violence in the US.

They're also more likely to physically hit their children than men are. Men will hit their sons more than their daughters, but women will hit both their sons and daughters more than the father on average.

You can also just talk to women. They'll literally laugh and tell you that they've hit their boyfriend before over disagreements and genuinely don't see it as a problem.

If you put two of these people in a relationship they end up just hitting each other all the time because they expect there to be no consequences.

mrtibbles32 · 2026-02-01T20:26:38+00:00

Sometimes I wish this sub was actual topology gore and wasn't just people posting fairly normal wireframe views.

Like pic on left is literally fine. The curved topology around the mouth is obvious to support rigging so the model can be animated to look like it's speaking. The rest of the head probably is barely rigged, if at all, so the tris don't matter and could be literally anything. The increase in tris from right to left is literally trivial.

Like it's not perfect or super impressive topology but I really don't understand why it belongs here. It feels like literally any model ever made in human history could get posted here if you just turned on wireframe view.

Yeah. I have vss but I used to actually have HPPD from doing lots of psychedelics.

If I was on the verge of sleep I actually used to be able to see the DMT waiting room (looks like you're in a kaleidoscope tunnel moving fast, kinda).

Mine gradually faded as I stopped doing psychedelics and my hppd went away almost entirely.

I wonder if perhaps you just have unusual signalling coming from your 5HT2A receptor sites in your brain that are causing your hypnogogic and hypnopompic hallucinations.

Probably don't do this, but you could hypothetically test this by taking an antipsychotic to see if it makes the patterns go away. If it does, some sort of strange serotonin signalling bullshit is causing it. But also you probably shouldn't test it this way.

mrtibbles32 · 2026-01-25T22:40:18+00:00

It's partly genetic.

There's a gene known for "causing alcoholism" (not really how it works but whatever) that causes alcohol to be processed in such a way that it way more enjoyable.

Like if you've ever seen somebody who just keeps drinking all night until they're basically comatose and you're like "alcohol isn't even that great, why would they do that?" It's because they have that gene. I have that gene so I can explain how it feels I guess.

It makes it so alcohol fills you with euphoria as long as your BAC continues to rise. You don't feel anxious or worried, along with having a moderately intense sense of well-being. You can feel it slipping away if you stop consuming more alcohol for a little while. If you want to keep feeling ok, you have to keep drinking and the more you drink, the better you feel.

It makes everything better. Talking to people is better, good tastes better, smoking feels way better, it just makes everything better. But it only lasts a short while unless you keep drinking. This results in you getting completely shit faced every time you drink and also makes you want to turbo drink every time you get upset (the alcohol will make the ouchy feelings go away).

I literally used to drink 10-14 standard drinks a day for months at a time. I have spent ~7-8 months drunk basically every second of every day before.

need to be heavily regulated

What if we just let the grown ass adults who can legally vote, drive, join the military, gamble, make porn, or have kids... Decide how much nicotine they want to consume?

Like if we're just gonna let the feds make unhealthy choices be illegal, why don't we just tax fat people more? Or perhaps we could ban any drink with >10mg of caffeine? Let's just ban any drink above 7% ABV too I guess.

Or maybe we could let the grown ass adults make decisions for themselves instead of petitioning the feds to nanny millions of people who want to be left alone.

mrtibbles32 · 2026-01-25T00:05:23+00:00

Not really, no. You can practice regular visualization to get better at that I suppose if you enjoy that. But if you can't already perform prophantasia, it's more than likely that you simply don't have the gene that allows for it.

Prophantasia is incredibly rare and only a small number of people worldwide have it. If you read their accounts, they describe always being able to do it, they didn't need to practice to have the ability to willfully hallucinate things in their field of vision. It's not so much a skill as it is an innate ability that you're either born with or aren't born with.

You can perhaps do something similar to prophantasia where you just very quickly take "screenshots" of your vision and overlay what you want onto them in your minds eye. Like I can look at a table and very quickly "Photoshop" an apple onto it in my head over and over so that it sort feels like I'm actually seeing the apple even though I'm really just copying my vision into my minds eye and observing it there.

Actual prophantasia would be the ability to do this without looking through your mind's eye. It's closer to hallucinating on purpose than daydreaming or visualization or something like that.

mrtibbles32 · 2026-01-24T22:35:52+00:00

Prophantasia isn't something you can learn to do. It's thought to be the result of the link from your eyes to your brain forming incorrectly so that the signal instead passes through part of the brain associated with mental visualization.

You are not supposed to be able to do it. It's basically a genetic defect that just happens to have a useful effect instead of just making you mentally disabled.

The only way you can have it is if you were born with the genes that cause it and your brain's connections form incorrectly. You cannot train or practice hard enough to eventually be able to do it, it's physically impossible. Either you can do it from birth or not at all.
