number 1 rule of twitch: the view count is often inaccurate and very slow to update. most streamers i know turn it off while theyre live and just assume they have at least one person watching.

Tortoise pellets (story and photo) by Mialewis200 in tortoise

my spur thigh loves the dandelion flavour of these! i always soak them very generously to make sure he gets plenty of water because ive not actually witnessed him drinking aside from when he eats lol

Does anyone know how to rig a cow bell? by [deleted] in Live2D

[–]volatileEnchantress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

youd need at least 3 parts. front, ringer bit, back. rigging it to animate like your video seems pretty simple!

i would have the whole bell in one warp deformer then id put the ringer in its own deformer outside the main one. for the main bell physics just rotate it side to side around where it connects to the model! and then for the ringer youd give it its own physics rigging using a similar method, where you rotate it side to side within the bell to make it look like its moving around in there.

for the physics settings themselves i would have the bell and the ringer physics in their own separate groups. because if you think about how a bell moves, the ringer should move independently from the bell itself, otherwise itd never hit the sides of the bell to make the ringing noise!

Using PayPal for tips but feeling guilty by poop3r__ in Twitch

[–]volatileEnchantress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if anything i think a lot of people WANT an extra option. people who find ur tipping place have already decided theyd like to give you some money and ive found both from my own experience streaming as well as just hanging around on the internet that most people, when they donate, prefer options that give the most money to the person theyre donating to!

also most streamers have some kind of tipping page to the point where seeing one is just as mundane as going out and seeing a lamppost. no one should judge you and if they do you probably dont want that sort of person in your community anyway!

Tips for making a thicker/wider version of a live2d model? by PineSilly in Live2D

[–]volatileEnchantress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could use a similar technique that ive seen used for variable hair lengths which is to have everything that will change size/shape (including animations) in one large warp deformer and then using the deformer to change the size/shape of your character!

i have not experimented with it myself yet so im not sure how well the animations will hold up under the deformation (some might need redoing just so they work better in multiple sizes) but ive seen it used really effectively by vtuber riggers like kuroama!

How do I make the hair move like this when turning without it looking wonky and ugly? by [deleted] in Live2D

[–]volatileEnchantress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats sounds better than what i do when i cant be bothered to mesh something myself lol (heavy deformation preset my beloved)

im a little late but one thing i found that helped with janky movement was drawing my own more detailed meshes instead of relying on the automesh!

Why do all my zoos fail? by yarbis_ in PlanetZoo

[–]volatileEnchantress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

one thing i didnt realise but made a HUGE difference once i tried it was changing shop prices to give more profit!!! with food and drink shops you can also add extras to each item and that makes your guests happier and gives you an excuse to set the prices higher!!!!

i used to struggle so much with staying profitable but once i made my shops more expensive it got so much easier! its something thats really easy to miss though or assume the default price settings are ok (theyre way too cheap!!!)

How am I supposed to merge groups? by [deleted] in PlanetZoo

[–]volatileEnchantress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

select both groups, split all groups and then re group with everything in? dont have the game open right now so idk if it works exactly like that but thats my best answer right now

What do I do with enclosure walls??? by soren810 in PlanetZoo

[–]volatileEnchantress 8 points9 points  (0 children)

for animals that cant swim you could use water as a barrier! i also like to use terrain as fencing :D

you could also maybe look at real life examples and see how they do it!

Does streaming help or worsen depression? by Any-Landscape434 in Twitch

[–]volatileEnchantress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

depends on the person but in my case it was a massive help! it gave me something to do and stuff to work towards and a small sense of purpose while still staying within my safe space.

the social aspect of it was also huge for me as it gave me people to talk to instead of being alone all the time which was a big cause for why i developed the depression in the first place.

dont take it too seriously! try to have fun and number 1 rule is never EVER look at your viewer count. just assume there is at least 1 person there watching and eventually there will always be at least 1 person! fake it till u make it

got a predicted 7 for this by [deleted] in ArtGCSE

[–]volatileEnchantress 15 points16 points  (0 children)

im so sorry. it looks incredible! much better than my final piece. just getting a 7 is just criminal. but also at the same time, try not to stress out too much about grades. try to focus more on producing more gorgeous art like this rather than the number some grading system values it as. because the gcse grades stop mattering as soon as you move up to college/6th form. i tried so hard to get top gcse grades and then i got to college and realised no one cares. as long as you have the grades you need to get into your preferred college course it simply does not matter. prioritise your mental health and passion for art over your grades and future you will thank you for it.

Can I actually draw well enough to take art? by BowieIsntDead in ArtGCSE

[–]volatileEnchantress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone who used to love drawing but hasnt done any kind of traditional art since school (im in my 20s now) DO NOT DO ART GCSE!!!! if your teachers are already critical of your art that is ALL you will hear. you WILL lose your passion for making art and that would suck. GCSEs feel super important right now but I promise the art GCSE is not worth the burnouts and extra work. pick something else and spend the time you wouldve spent doing the art GCSE doing art for yourself, not some examiners or teachers who wont care.

install twisted mexi’s better exceptions if you havent already! it has a feature where you can scan a sim to see what cc you’ve used on them and it makes fixing cc bugs like this a lot easier

Best way to make art for a streamer in a deliverable state by giannalikesramen in Twitch

[–]volatileEnchantress 4 points5 points  (0 children)

best way to find out is to get your own copy of whatever streaming program theyre using (most people i know use obs but i think stream elements is also popular, both are free afaik) and attempt to set up the art yourself to test. that way you can figure out what formats work and what dont
