Yet another “I don’t know how to start with this” intro to a blog post. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don’t. But I think it’s because I’m pretty bummed out right now.
Guess I got too hyped up.
Let me start from the beginning, and it’s joining something I can’t believe is even a thing.. the ‘Officer Creepys Hangout’ server (basically a ‘fan club’ for one guy I only met two & 1/2 weeks ago). Listen Creepery, you’re a great guy and a great asset to the Best Boi server, but why in the hell do you need a fan club?! Are you that young and insecure?
That’s just my thoughts, take them as you will. Plus it’s so colorful (as in, every channel has icons on the ends of the name). I’m not sure if I’m going to stay here.
.
Now for the ‘bummed out’ reason. This is gonna be a long one, so I hope you’re comfortable.
I managed to get someone to animate the wings (and the tail) of the Gandora model. I also got my hands on Dynamic Bones (for free, thanks to friends), which opens up potential for ‘wiggly’ avatars.
But as much as I really, really do appreciate it… it’s not ‘me’ (me as in, the gif image 2D avatar). And I managed to fix the issue that people couldn’t see it (by reapplying the textures and uploading). Now everyone can see it (in hopes for someone to walk up to me and say “hey, I could make that into a 3D model for free”). But like I said before, I seriously doubt that would ever happen.
And this got me thinking of those Best Bunny avatars (and how you can make a request for a personal Best Bunny). Killing two birds with one stone, my request was (nearly) fully pulled off of having a ‘dragon bunny’.
All I had to do to get my hands on it, was to give the guy my VRChat Account password (for them to upload it into my account(I assume through Unity)) and then change it afterwards. Felt uncomfortable doing this, but he was able to get it done without a problem.
Now I really wish the horns, the wings, and the spikes on the back were attached. When asked why, I was originally told that any attachment to the bunny model, is having some pretty bad issues when looking in a mirror. Then I was told how it would be next to impossible to attach the horns (as there are no known models that they could rip them from). I would assume the spikes would be the same issue. Honestly, they look like a bull’s horns. They could had used them (and just re-textured them to look like what the original picture has).
I’m pretty bummed out over that, and I probably sound highly immature (and that I’m not appreciating the hard work that went into the texturing). Ohh.. no no no. I definitely do thank them, from the bottom of my heart, of going out of their way to do it. They didn’t have to do this for me, yet they did. And I can’t thank them enough! I’m freakin’ serious.
The face alone, probably took the most time to do (basing it off of a 2D image). And I just love how spot on it looks. They even captured the eyes! 😀
I really love it, yet I also hope they’re able to one day figure out why Unity is doing what is doing (and complete the model). Because I’ve gotten comments that it looks more like a snake than a dragon (I assume with the forked tongue).
.
And finally, someone noticed a new Best Boi test server when logging in this afternoon (yet kept changing the subject of people wanting pictures of the changes. I quickly hopped on and saw it (and did pics).
1. There’s an obelisk, thanking several ‘notable people’ of the server. I didn’t see Creepery’s name on that list, sadly.
2. A new structure with a portal (leading to a place to get more furry(and even scalie) avatars), next to the Best Bunnies portal.
3. The promotions of Twitchin’s twitch channel, and the Best Boi Discord link, are gone.
4. There’s some sort of new shader that I assume Kibble is playing around with. It’s making areas darker.
And that’s about it. If anything new comes up, I shall post it.
