Jeez, that's brutal! So yeah, extra special care to watch your borders, I'd say...

Ha ha, figured out who it was? Yes, indeed, that would mean a cat fight is bound to happen if one of your gals tried something. o_O
Sylvia's been crushing on Simona for as long as she's known her, and I don't think that'll end!
Plus...
Simona is up-front with her love for Sylvia. Sylvia is intimidated by how forceful she is, and thus, doesn't know how to respond. A tricky situation, no doubt!

Eh, since I'm a casual fan, I don't get much into Hockey rivalries. The Predators have only annoyed me during these playoffs, but that's more to do with the media and the country-music connection.

Shitty, indeed. And if you want my opinion, I don't want the Finals to be excellent. I want the Warriors to DESTROY the Cavs as payback for last year's embarrassment. I'm glad you enjoyed Game 7, because I was furious! lol

Wow, that is pretty different. So you'd have to be more aware of your surroundings, I wager?

Yes, the ones prior to FFX were very steampunky. Why must you bring up FFX-2... I try to pretend like that game never existed. -_-
Yeah, FFXII wasn't really steampunk. The original FF airship required a special stone to make it fly, but that game was probably the most Fantasy-based of them all. (Not too much steam going on, if any)

You don't remember who, eh? Pretty surprising, actually, given that you almost never have a picture of Simona without *her* in it. :P
I haven't tried porting from Daz3D, but I've been looking at a few Daz3D models thinking about it. The $$$ did stop me though.
If you can convert/export a model from Daz3D's format into i.e .obj, .3ds or .fbx format, then the rest is pretty much child play.
It may be most time consuming to adjust the different values in the material, but if you need to make some edits to the mesh itself, then
that can take a bit of time as well.

I assume that you have seen some Daz3D models that you liked?
Ah okay that doesn't sound too bad actually. I thought it would be a lot more complicated.

I realized I haven't updated my blog in awhile lol. Slacking in that department big time. I'll start to add to it again once the lighting guide is finished which should be in a week or two.

Yeah I know what you mean. My NEO does look different from the old HS but I have given up on trying to make it look exactly the same because I know it's not going to. I try my best to adapt because NEO is definitely worth adapting to. Plus I can always edit in post if I need some more tweaking done or stylize the photo.

Hey I have a question if you don't mind. Have you ever tried importing items from Daz3D? If so how difficult or time consuming was it to do so?
Nah, wasn't much trouble really. I were editing another item and then it just struck me that all I had to do was to
change a material value to -1.

Man, I just realized that I haven't been checking your blog out for a while. I'll give it a good read when you get the new stuff up!
Personally I'm trying to get my NEO studio to look like my HS in its overall look, although, it has been kinda hard.
I'm almost doubting that I'll manage to get the same look.
That's wonderful news! I hope it wasn't too much trouble for you to figure out. And thanks for looking into it.

I have been pretty out of the loop as of late, mostly due to RL situations but I've been slowly working on my lighting guide. I've been able to work on it for maybe an hour a day so it's coming together. Making new pictures is what taking up most of the time.

Ahh, RTS games were right around the top, for me, during the mid to late 90's. Never played that one, though, it seems fun! I can't remember the last RTS game I played, though. Hmm...

Eh? Crystals and orbs have always been the mainstay of the FF series, though. FFVI might have been the most steampunky of the series. FFI-V are pretty fantasy based, while VI was the biggest shift, in spite of the big deal everyone made out of VII. VI felt more like true steampunk, while VII was a bit more modernized. FFVIII was also pretty modern feeling. FFIX was a pretty big style shift in honor to the older games, so it was a bit more fantasy/steampunk. FFX... well, we know how that went. FFXIII & XV are definitely NOT steampunk. Come to think of it, maybe that's why FF has lost a lot of its charm? Got too modern? I know that style shift bothered me when I saw it creeping in with FFX.

Scitasy, Scitasy, I gotta remember that! Sci-Tasy is easier on my picky grammar eyes, though.

Oh, a spanking for that signature booty? Careful with that, because I'm pretty sure you know she's got someone who secretly adores her!
Ahh, dammit! Ha ha, catch ya later, then!

Yup, I'm VERY happy to get this early Summer/late Spring weather, too! Though, today was a bit cooler than usual. Glad to hear you've been able to relax, at least.

Z? I get the feeling you've told me about it, before, but I don't really remember. I'm guessing that has to do with those pics?

Well, if you recall, it was really only a limited event, and none of my major girls (or yours) got to be involved. This will be non-war related, and much more care-free, sexy, and fun! More short and episodic, like your recent comics.
Sounds good! We were able to craft some nice little worlds with all those goodies. Though, we're still going to be doing the steampunk stuff, and not fantasy. I've slowly been gathering outfits for my girls to better suit the genre...
Btw, what the heck was the genre name you came up with for what we're doing, again? :confused:

Anyway, for now, I'm planning the Onsen comics around that map Illusion made.
T
Ha ha, I wouldn't doubt it! Normally I wouldn't be part of that tiny minority, but I had a lot of fun rooting for your team last year... until the Finals, lol. Plus, there's no chance in hell that I'd root for the Predators.

You'd be right about that! Yes, outside of my enjoyment of the Warriors domination, the rest of the playoffs have been pretty disappointing. People have been whining about the Warriors and the Cavs (getting some payback, this year!), but that's no excuse for the other games that didn't involve either team. Even a series that went to 6-7 games was usually pretty lopsided; close games were pretty rare. So yeah, not so fun, this year.
oops/ Accidentally VM'd myself lol.

Well no more supebowls unless we bring the girls back lol.

I have a feeling the Lions will win the superbowl before the bears win again :/

BTW pom pom curse sounds like the goat curse lol

Ahhhh, so that's why the Bears haven't won a championship since 1985!

Recently saw a show on the NFL channel of the Top 10 Football Curses.

Number 1 is, of course, the Lions' Curse of Bobby Lane...
WTF Bobby, it's been more than 50 years... give us a break, already. :(

Anyway, another one of the Top 10 Football Curses is the Bears' Curse of the Honey Bears.

In 1976, owner/founder George Halas decided he wanted dancing girls on the sidelines. "As long as I’m alive, we will have dancing girls on the sidelines."
So Halas founded the Honey Bears cheerleading squad.
From that point on, the Bears went from regular losers to powerful winners, winning the Super Bowl in 1985.
Unfortunately for the Bears, Halas died in 1983. His daughter Virginia, who took over the team, hated cheerleaders, calling them "sex objects."
When the Honey Bears' contract ended in 1985, they were fired. Super Bowl XX, when the Bears won it all, was their last performance.
To this day, the Bears are one of only 6 teams without a cheerleading squad.

Anyway, it is said that after clearing their stuff out of Soldier Field, the Honey Bears shook their pom poms at the stadium and declared that the Bears would not win another championship until the team brought back the Honey Bears. And sure enough, since then, the Bears have become sad losers, like they use to be.

So now you know. The Bears aren't losers because of poor management, or bad coaches, or even Jay Cutler.

It's the Curse of the Honey Bears.

This fuckin' game is insane... and that overtime! Laughing at the fans flippin' their shit and throwing stuff on the ice. Officials got it right, though, that was over the net, not inside.

Rooting like hell for your Penguins; especially so they can kick that poser Nashville team and all their Country-music lovin' fanbase! Already tired of that "great story", go away Country musicians. -_-
T
Pickups are a HUGE deal to me. There's a sound in my head I strive for, and pickups will get you there more than $1000+ mahogany.

I gave the push-pull thing a shot a long time ago, but I wasn't into it. I blame the pickup, though, as that had more to do with it than anything. I might try it out again, someday.

Btw, if I'm going to recommend pickups, it's all about Bare Knuckle! I've got Riff Raffs, Mississippi Queens, and Black Dogs (that looks weird when I read it) and all are fantastic! What pickups do you like?

I hear ya, getting out the soldering iron is part of the fun of improving sound. But... No, I don't enjoy that more than playing, lol, but it's cool to do.

There's a multitude of nice, cheaper off-brands. I used to go with Agile, for awhile. Epiphone can be nice, if you set them up properly and upgrade the hell out of them.
I think if I were to go name-brand to spend a little more, it'd probably be Fender. I don't have a Fender, anymore, though, (G&L Tribute) but I miss the one I had.
T
Eh... everything ok? Haven't heard from ya in a couple days. I hope that I didn't bother you with my not "liking" your cyborg related stuff; just not something I'm into, that's all.
Again, hope all is well! There's a new pic I posted, too. I've already got my first comic series in awhile planned out! It'll feature all your most notable girls, plus many of my own.

The theme?
Isn't it obvious?
Onsen.
:D
Oh, I hope it can be fixed soon then, I was just worried cause I didn't see you for a long time and usually you're here almost everyday so it felt lonely
T
I'm not a car junkie, so I'll take your word for it. As for the vintage PIO caps, nah, you just gotta no which off-brands to buy around the $10-15 range! :D

I can't argue with your reasoning, that's what the extra cash is for!

We are very different in that regard, than. As long as it functions good, I'm cool with it. I mix shit with guitars to see the results. I will say that only suckers buy Gibson brand parts, outside of maybe the pickups (which are even more overpriced than they used to be!). When it comes to other things, like the boob one you mentioned, yeah, that's the sort of shit that'll irritate me. Like, right now, I'm battling an aliasing issue that has presented itself since NEO was installed, and it is a pain! -_-

lol, no worries, I appreciate thought out, longer responses!
Remember that request you made in regard of tentacles vs focus?
I just figured that part out so I'll be configuring the new and old stuff to suit your request.
T
OK, now I can confirm from doing a quick clean install (old is backed up) that Studio NEO has terrible aliasing for me. Period.
No mods were added, just everything up to NEO. I guess I'll just have to suck it up and deal with it, and hope that the next graphics patch fixes some of this.
I tried out using ReShade to force some SMAA or FXAA, but they left unwanted artifacts on edges and blurred in others.
