So here's a gif of the wobbly message panel in ACNH, and here's the actual texture that it seems to use.

What intrigues me is how the in-game version has a fairly sharp edge while the texture is blurry.

I smell shader magic involving the alpha channel might be involved in making it wobble.

Kernalphage on Tumblr agrees that it probably *is* vertex animation.

I have a test in mind involving a texture replacement -- a plain square ought to be enough to see what's going on.

Alternatively, though there is shader magic involved with the difference in edge sharpness, it might also simply be vertex displacement?

I literally just whipped this up in #Blender and I gotta say...

Oh dear.

I will not apologize for the sloppy loops.

Turns out it *does* involve shader fuckery!

Fuck yeah commissions!

Pay what you feel it's worth!

We've got portraits, full bodies, custom emoji, fully shaded, just sketches, for whatever you feel it's worth and you can afford.

I do nudes, I do sex. I might request a certain minimum for psychic damage. Furry is preferred, but I'm willing to do human-like. Absolutely no gore, scat, or cub though, for no price. Other than that, most anything goes so
Inquire within!

#AnimalCrossing: every regular villager has their own copy of the mesh, which is a waste *but* it allows things like Ankha's snake thing.

Original #ProjectSpecialK idea: Ankha and such get their own mesh and a flag to inform it, but the rest of 'em share a common mesh.

New idea just now: Ankha and Raymond share the same common mesh as *all* cat villagers, but the snake and glasses are separate, villager-specific accessory meshes.

Now imagine the deer.

@foone key frequencies, gotcha.

Now, this graph is not Correct, since "g" by itself is not a valid letter, but I get what you're saying here.

The modern felin character set is pretty well-defined, and I have Opinions on what the felin keyboard would look like (it's not unlike ours but shift doesn't type capital letters (there are none) and there's a trackball where the numpad would go).

However, I don't know what a reasonably realistic felin equivalent of the QWERTY layout would be. I'll need an expert for that... @foone comes to mind.

#FirrhnaProject

@foone ...I have an image map on my wiki.

@foone I'm offended by how sluggish it is at placing controls when running on Windows 7 or later.

oh yeeeeaaaah~

#ProjectSpecialK #programming #VirtualFileSystems

Oof.

Now to implement my second-favorite RFC...

Heh. @foone be like "patch the rabbit"

okay.

Stupid fanfiction idea: Star Trek Crossing.

Just an average Starfleet vessel completely crewed by small animals. Between shifts they visit a communal holodeck village. Nothing serious ever happens.

Until it does and Commander Nook needs to request a crewmember replacement. And the replacement's a Human.

Have a teaser:

----------------

First officer's personal log, stardate 45321.3.

I know I said in my last entry that nothing particularly interesting ever happens on the Nogami, but I would like to amend that statement, yes yes. Something has happened. Not four days ago the kind of weird event that normally only befalls the big-name ships like Enterprise managed to happen to mine specifically.

Injured? A few. Barely an issue really, yes yes.

Now you might've noticed that Tom Nook is first officer, and he's the one to request someone new be transferred in. There's no mention of the captain.

This is the terrible secret of Star Trek Crossing: the USS Nogami has no captain.

Every time the captain has to make an appearance, the others make some excuse. Half of Command is in on the joke but can't help play along with these little animals trying to pull the wool over their eyes.

And that's something for Lt. Yorna Mere to discover.

They're sending us a human. The Farouk El-Baz will be within transporter range in twelve more hours.

I can't believe they'd do that.

Oh well. Commander Nook signing off. End log.

And that's it. My little teaser for "Star Trek Crossing". I put an awful lotta research into things like the stardate and the other ship's name.

#AnimalCrossing #StarTrek #fanfiction

But we lost Lieutenant Boomer. The wake was… quite moving, really. Now, I'd hate to seem heartless but the moment it was over and I found myself back here in my personal quarters, I immediately put in a request with Starfleet Command for a replacement. I may not be heartless, but I'm first and foremost a professional.

I have to admit, I never really thought anyone could replace Boomer but I didn't expect what Command wrote back this morning.
