gotta admit, not a piece I've ever really given much thought (probably on account of it not being dyable...) but it do look mighty fiiiine with a little more shape to it!

okokok it was an exporter issue I didn't break it (this time) 😅 and I think that's the last thing I needed to do before shippin' it off for testing onwards and upwards!
Lighty (@fightylighty.bsky.social) reply parent
it's literally just the same thing I had before but reversed what is and isn't visible I want off this ride 😭

ayyeee such a pile of update requests on top of the upcoming pieces I need to do 🫠 time to get my b'hind into gear! I know it's a little ambitious, but I'd quite like to be caught up with my upcoming list by the end of next week...

ngl a rug on a concrete floor is a surprisingly comfy place to die of migraine had to be very careful how I lay to not make my hip unhappy but 8/10 would nap again
Lighty (@fightylighty.bsky.social) reply parent
some kind of divine irony that the day after i post this i get a killer migraine i dont imagine the meds wear off quite THAT fast
Lighty (@fightylighty.bsky.social)
smiles so that new medication that was helping with the migraines somewhat. they renewed it as 10mg ...I was on 50mg :) surely this will not have repercussions anyway yeah I was up early today for dumb appointment I missed and woodworking all afternoon, I'm pooped, am goin' to bed early
Lighty (@fightylighty.bsky.social) reply parent
absolutely unreasonable amount of faff just to get this far unironically the longest lasting WIP to date but ugh, just chest sizes with differing weights to deal with and some clipping on the scarf, then it's all finished

since blender (and/or devkit and/or penumbra) is being a butt I finally sat down and did some more MSQ the puzzly bits were fun! But did it have to be so hand-holdy and spoon-feedy?? 'that's right! the square peg goes in the square hole! well done! you're so smart!' who are you, dora the explorer??
Lighty (@fightylighty.bsky.social) reply parent
None of it's working and I don't know how to fix it that's hardly great 😭
Lighty (@fightylighty.bsky.social) reply parent
packing 32 models SUCKS but we have legg... it's not doing the shpx_ keys correctly though so I'll have to do it aGAIN (neither are the crit hit B bottoms now that I check... idk if it's still penumbra bug causing it, or if it's exporting wrong) I can't catch a break... 😭
Lighty (@fightylighty.bsky.social) reply parent
I can't even recreate it on another gear piece so I don't. know what caused it guess... I'm. packing this one manually?
Lighty (@fightylighty.bsky.social) reply parent
????????? if I import the .fbx into TT it's fine? but if I import the .mdl into TT it does some funky shit? and if I use the devkit packer to put the .mdls into the modpack they just go completely invisible?? I'm. getting a fucking headache
Lighty (@fightylighty.bsky.social) reply parent
ah... maybe not... still invisible... genuinely not sure what else to try
Lighty (@fightylighty.bsky.social) reply parent
oh my GOD it's because when I added the midlander female model metadata to TT to extract the model it automatically added a material too so penumbra is now looking for a texture that doesn't exist I'm going to SCREAM

Lighty (@fightylighty.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm going to tentatively assume this is tied to the devkit exporter issues affecting the cape... so I think I'll put this down until that updates and see where we can go from there

?????????? H EL P?? 😂 I haven't the faintest fucking clue what's happening
Lighty (@fightylighty.bsky.social) reply parent

dismantling pallets is exhausting work I tell u what BUT I own a giant crowbar now :3 Should only need to take apart one more to have enough to make a workbench so craftin' bits is a tad easier 😌 and I straightened my hair after the wash for the first time in aaaages, feel so silky back to work~
Lighty (@fightylighty.bsky.social)
got me some pallets to take apart for wood to build things! first up is a workbench to make subsequent woodworking easier... got to play with the new power planer tho and it cleans the wood up like a charm 😉 was good fun to hammer one apart, ngl

I think the low-level background headache/mini-migraine days are the worst - the ones where I don't feel bad enough to sleep all day or consume a borderline concerning amount of painkillers, but it's just... brain fog, zoning out, no energy or focus. I don't quite feel like a people.

idk I'm just excited I love to build things and it's been YEARS since I've had access to the tools to do any woodworking gonna make a room in the garage for insulation from the cold. gonna make bookshelves. gonna make a garden bench. gonna make a bed riser. gonna make SO MUCH!!!

super rough mockup of what I'm thinkin', very similar to what I already have but wider for both monitors, chunk taken out of the middle shelf to make space for the tablet and a slanted stand for it so it's stable and cubbies for my notebooks/pens/post it notes/decorations/etc
Lighty (@fightylighty.bsky.social) reply parent
I literally have a bookshelf on top of a plain desk as a monitor stand bc I like my monitors eye level (+ storage space!) and I use my tablet a LOT more upright than any stand I can find allows, but the shelf the monitors are on get in the way... (plus it's pretty unstable when I prop it up there)
Lighty (@fightylighty.bsky.social)
Mother is taking me to a hardware store today to buy me some more power tools as a housewarming present so I can build my own furniture from old pallets and I am VIBRATING I really want to build myself a desk because my setup is. very unique. but I want to fit my tablet below my monitors

mmmmmmhm. I... think it's penumbra. I guess this is what the "updates recommended" were about, so I guess I can move on. hopefully it'll just start acting right with the next version and I don't have to do an update :v

ooookaaaaay so it's 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 fine, at least to .fbx... so either ConsoleTools is messing with it when it converts to .mdl, something's going wrong with packing it, or penumbra is chewing it up when I import it there 🤔 time for more science...

If I could code I'd write a blender plugin that can set weight of selected verts to a value based on a numpad press or something like NUM1 to set it to 1.0, NUM5 to set it to 0.5, NUM0 to set it to 0. Having to swap between those values all the time is annoyiiiiing
Lighty (@fightylighty.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm so gd close to nuking this whole upscale and starting from scratch, it has no right to be giving me this much trouble fixing wobbly skirt weights on *one* size turned into fixing a few verts on several other sizes and now they're ALL fucked time to redo all the weights, woooo...
