The two pass approach seems to work best. Do a dark one and a light one on top, set the layer mode to lighten only and then up the layer transparency until it looks about right. I tried a bunch of other stuff as well, but that seems to work best in most cases.

I am having to work very hard not to caption this one as This! Is! Sparta!

Or possibly This! Is! Skyrim!

Just another image.

The subtext I'm trying for is somewhere beteween "what is he doing with his other hand?" and "is she getting up or sitting down?"

I'm not sure how well that carries over, but I like the shot, so I'll go with it

Seems like forever since I had a chance to work on this.

This is what I meant when I said there were some assets yet to be released. Like the set of restraining rings mounted on the cart

I took the ZAP xcross, deleted the wooden X and added a couple of stakes for the ankle cuffs.

I had to jump through a couple of hoops to get the moon to render properly, but I think it was worth it

This one sized to appear in the book

brilliant! I wholeheartedly approve of your interpretation of "A Smart Pony". Not what I'd visualized, but it captures the message I wanted to convey far better

"Know the difference" works really well as well.

Most of the others, the screenies should work with a bit of coercion. It's difficult to set up a show where that filter works well, I know.

But that's two for definite and more if I can get the setting right. Good work!

Looking at the now. (previously was five minutes between episodes of Defiance).

Got them through mega in the end. But then my wife called "dinner!" and I've not been back to the keyboard till now.

Downloading now. First attempt stalled at 99%.

All of 'em? Wow, thanks!

I'll have a look when I get home

OK, cool

Some of these need assets I've not released yet. I'll see about that tomorrow with a bit of luck. (This week has just been mad).

Caption: "Is there anything else I can help you with, sir?"

I think I have the first one covered, but if you can get a scene with an applauding crowd, I'll use it.

If you want to try your hand at the conversions, it's basically

* open screeny in gimp

* go to script-fu menu and choose artist->inkpen drawing (needs gimp extensions package)

* color->color to alpha to turn the white parts transparent

But the main thing is the screenshots.

Cheers, Windu!

Anyone interested in helping out with a few screenshots? I want some more illustrations for the in-game book.

What I do is I set up the screenshot, then run it through a gimp filter to make it look like a pen-and-ink drawing. Then I add captions and so on. The trouble is that setting up the shots can be time consuming, and I really ought to be coding rather than screenshotting.

I can post the list of illustrations I want. If someone wants to contribute the base screenshots, that would save a lot of time. It would be good to get some variety among the Ponies as well.

heheh

I figure this needs to be a book, in-game.

If I get bored enough, I may even add some illustrations

The Gimp. But no, it's just playing around in this case.

Someday I might have a shot at building a sort of "gilded cage" player home where everything is full of covert messages and subtle spell effects, but not any time soon. My texture and modelling work isn't really up to the task yet for one thing.

They're going to be added in. They need a bit of coding support though. Currently the rosettes, team name and number are all separate tats. These are going to be all-in-one to free up a couple of slots.

Hey, that's cool. It means it's working as intended. 

The trick is to take one of the rectangular blocks and just to consider the top right quarter. Then you'll see a daedric "S" and a "C" in red, with the other letters arranged around them in orange, going clockwise from the top right.

Now if only I could spell "subliminal"...

Ding! Coco wins the prize!

Somehow, it tickles me to take something so crude and make it into something so elegant.

well, now I know how to do it, it'll almost certainly happen.

I might have to make naz essential for the duration though. I can imagine the cart getting rolled With Malice Aforethought if he's riding

I tried that. The UV on cbbe sees a bit jaggedy in places, up around the stocking tops. What I found worked well for the SLUTS livery was Blender and Quick Project in segments and then a little smoothing and polishing afterward. But I'm still very much learning this stuff

UK slang. "Jerk-off" would probably be the US equivalent.

Do we know if PapyrusUtil functions are latent? I'd expect not, given that they're used in SexLab where timing is important, but it would be nice to know.

If we lose the thread every time we call ClampInt it could be worth doing the five lines of code.

I do have a few ideas along those lines

Thank you.

I tried dirtying up the face as well. It seems to work well enough.

Incidentally, bags I not being the one who has to let her out of that yoke. In fact I'd like to be as far away as possible when that happens. She is not, I feel, a happy bunny

Fantastic! Thank you.

Try now

I can't upload to imgur, but FreeImageHosting apparently can. The block me for not allowing twitter to run javascript, but they're ok with another site just leeching off their bandwidth. Go figure.

Actually, no face slavetats ever do afaik. What hair mod are you using that might be causing this?

That was Pretty, Vacant. I muisjudged the size of on of the "I've just been fucked" forehead tattoos and it applied over her hair. Looked weird as hell.

I'll have to try and see what happens
