Creativity / TOBYWORLD and ALL THINGS TOBY
« on: September 18, 2023, 04:58:37 PM »



on february 13th, 2014, toby the rock was born. since then, like an autistic child, i've carried him with me throughout the past 9 years relentlessly. we bask, we frolic, we weave, and i take him to work with me every day. for some unexplainable reason he is cherished and loved by all without question. below is a collection of pictures and videos i made for him over the years.


















february 13th, 2024 will be his 10 year anniversary. to celebrate, im making something for him called TOBYWORLD. its supposed to be an episodic thing, but im only one guy so i gotta do it one episode at a time. this one will be dedicated to animation and animated toby projects.







i figure with the forums on its way out id give yall one more big update on toby before we all split forever. if the forums are still around come february ill obviously post the final tobyworld thing here so you can all see it. ill probably also post updates as things get done cause i really want to finish this one. what do yall think of toby????

Off Topic / Sax Roundhead Gallery
« on: December 09, 2018, 11:30:37 AM »
hey paisanos

once upon a time there used to be a thing that spread around blf called roundheads / circleband, which i think was created by nickthesushi / spation / mr.cookie / flyguy45. either it was one of them or all of them idk but it became an avatar fad, led to ppl making their own roundhheads, lots of good fun and its a big staple of the community at the time for me

so much so ive been slaving over finding these things for years. there was like, only two that survived it seemed, but today i found a photobucket account (probably belonging to one of the above) that had what i will assume to be every canon roundhead

unfortunately, they were all really tiny and not really useful for what i wanted them for, so i spent my most productive part of the day doing something completely unrelated to what i should be doing: remastering all the roundheads



if you're like me and stuff like this matters to you, you can click the above for stupid high resolutions of all the roundheads for whatever idk im using them as characters for a thing

unfortunately i havent finished every last one yet. there might be 6 left i need to do. these last ones are super duper tiny and its very difficult to make out all the details in each one but once i finish them ill post them here like the others

heres a base one and an avatar one if the trend wants to continue:


     



finding this was like finding gold to me so i can only imagine someone else is around who really wants to see these again

Modification Help / [call for talent] - help with a project
« on: March 10, 2018, 08:14:25 PM »
bare with me on this one....

hello blocklands modification discussion!! i havent really frequented here much since maps were removed, but im posting an ad of sorts for talented addon creators who would be willing to work on a project of mine for possibly no payout at all. but i promise theres an explanation (and if you need an immediate reason why, skip to the bold):

i wanna try and develop another blockland campaign, right? i really like dix miggie and its playful style. i appreciated the going above and beyond with the story and voice acting. two quirks ive never really seen in a story driven blockland project

im really interested in raising that bar a little, cause i know blockland can be pushed much farther than what dix miggie reached. i want to really flesh out a story with more custom content, better voice acting etc. but im missing the expertise necessary to create some of the things i know ill need.

 i personally believe i can maintain most of the content creation. in terms of the addons ill need, the only things i dont understand and dont currently have the time to learn how to make right now are these categories:
  • bricks
  • playertypes
  • and events

if this sounds like something you'd be remotely interested in BEFORE i ruined it with "no payout at all", there is a payout. by that i simply mean this project could just... not happen. all this content could get made, and something could happen where i just cant finish it. time might be strained and it goes on hold forever, i get banned from my server somehow, i dont know. but what i do promise, as long as its not frowned upon in terms of the rules, is that i will compensate anyone willing to put reliable work into this project.

whether its money (which wont be a crazy amount, but ill try to make it worth your time) or steam games or some other form i can compensate you in, im willing to do it to see this project come to some kind of life. even if i can just push out just a level or two, maybe make a nice tech demo out of it? ill feel enough accomplishment to leave it at that.

id love to learn how to do this stuff on my own. im even willing to compensate for one-on-one experience, simply because, like i imagine some of you do too, i have a kind of schedule where my time has to be managed as efficiently as possible, and watching youtube/scanning bl tutorials to get an ambiguous but experimental idea of how rigging and brick creation works isn't really something i have time to explore. hands on explanation about what im doing in the now would help way way faster. especially if i could just record that and have my own tutorials xD

but yeah. if yall arent too terribly busy and wouldn't mind getting a bit of money/new games over the course of this year, hit me up with a pm and ill explain myself completely. i dont want to ruin any surprises that might be in store for everyone :))))


thank youuuuu hehehehe~

also: apologies if this is in the wrong board, this seemed like the most appropriate place to ask for this kind of thing

Off Topic / desktop just now started entering a BSoD start up loop
« on: October 26, 2017, 03:03:42 PM »
ive had my desktop at my friends house for some time now because ive been moving houses. its been off the majority of the time it was there, and when it was turned on it was used for music making. it was not doing this at my friends house

but now, here at the new house ive moved into, i just got my computer together and plugged up, i turned it on, logged in, and as soon as my desktop comes up the computer immediately bluescreens with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. it restarts, boots back up, i log in, it blue screens, and the process starts over again

i have installed nothing new or plugged in anything new since i got it plugged up again. system repair doesnt know whats wrong. i have no restore points to fall back on. everything i pull up on google about this is only for windows 7/xp. microsofts main website suggests everything ive already done

does anyone here know what might be causing this? or how to fix it? desktop cant even load my toolbar completely before it blue screens, so i cant even update/uninstall drivers that might be doing this

Add-Ons / Toby the Rock
« on: July 26, 2017, 09:24:56 PM »
"im hard af" -






using state of the art 3D photogrammetry, quadratic edge collapse decimation methods, and some datablock reassessment coding from Conan, i was able to capture, upload, and transfer the entirety of my beautiful pet rock toby into blockland!!! hes 6 inches of sweet heart, and two pounds of destruction, and looking for a cozy spot in your server to sit still in and not do anything. you can hit him, sit on him, do whatever you want to him! it doesn't matter. toby loves it.

visit toby island down below to find a download link for Toby!!


this is an edit of the Pioneers Rock by Uxie.

remember, toby loves you c:

Suggestions & Requests / working camera events?
« on: May 25, 2016, 12:48:14 AM »
are there any functioning camera events floating around? lilboarder released some camera events around 2011 but i cant for the life of me get them to work

supposedly you could event a players camera to track a brick while moving, you could make it move through specified points, etc. im pretty sure it didnt have camera rotation or anything since thats not possible (?) does anyone know if something like that can be made again?

and (in theory) couldn't you make it zoom in and out too? the only way i can really think of how to do that would be messing with players fov, unless you can tap into the zoom function directly. it would really help with a project of mine

Modification Help / loading dts through mission editor (TEXTURE QUESTION)
« on: February 10, 2016, 02:22:17 AM »
im just curious: what exactly is going on here? i was loading dts models from my old hyrule experiment, and the textures caught me off guard. very few areas such as a select few fences and linings of walls load, but everything else is this reflective sky like texture (which changes with each skybox). the dts is being loaded from a file that has all the textures in it, and the dts has correct textures before being imported

Creativity / mod-mans digital art thread (REVIVED & REDONE!!!!)
« on: November 02, 2015, 03:58:48 AM »

hello there. my name is mod-man, and i am a digital content creator. i work with all sorts of media ranging from graphics design and 3d modelling to cartoons and music making! for the past 8 years, ive been teaching myself programs such as paint.net, photoshop, illustrator, after effects, cinema 4d, google sketchup, maya, and a plethora of others in pursuit of this crazy passion for digital content.

linked above are different places where you can find my work. all of my serious graphic arts projects can be found on my behance, while all my other work such as cartoons, music, video game movies, and other content can be found on both my newgrounds and youtube. but best of all, you can also find my work right here in this topic!!

Images (3D & 2D)

(images i have created using various image manipulation/3d editing programs)




Videos
(motion based media i've made)

Projects
(works that are still in the works)

Tiltage of a Cartridge
a cartoon that ponders the plausible theory as to how cartridge tilting can seriously mess up your games.

i started making this cartoon immediately after my first finished short, "A Beautiful Day". due to slow tools and lack of motivation, its taken nearly 5-6 months to get to where i am now. luckily, after effects is updated and ive now reached what i consider the half way point for this project. definitely cant wait to see this finished!

Something Special
(TITLE SUBJECT TO CHANGE)

an exploration through the trust of two complete strangers

this is a cartoon i've been working on along side, "Tiltage of a Cartridge". due to most of my focus going towards ToaC, not much work has been done on this project. however i dont plan for it to be very long, so once full focus has turned towards this project things should hopefully speed up quite nicely


please note: i still need to add TONS of stuff to this! i just wanted to hurry up and post this cus my other thread died. in the mean time, thanks for looking!!

Off Topic / serious computer anomalies
« on: October 09, 2015, 07:35:36 AM »
lately unexplainable things have been happening on my computer, and they all only happen when im trying to use the alarm clock website:

http://kukuklok.com/

now as of recent ive been putting up with it because i figured it was just me being a fool and missing my alarms, but now im seriously suspecting something strange going on. for what ever reason, some how SOME WAY my alarm is turned off, muted, closed, or SOMETHING has happened to stop my alarm from going off. i know im not doing it, my roommates arent doing it (and im positive are too computer illiterate to know how) and im almost positive it isnt a virus cause this literally happens no other time except for when im depending on this website to wake me up

but today, this was just ridiculous. today i woke up to my computers actual sound settings being modified. i mean my default sound was set to my main speakers (just like i left it before i went to bed) but simply no audio was coming out of it. i switched to my headphones and thats the only sound setting any audio would come out of. i had to unplug and replug my speakers and subwoofer to get my computer to read my main set up again.

whats even stranger is that sometimes this stuff wont even happen at all! on super rare occasions the alarm will go off like normal and i actually wake up

luckily i dont have work at an extremely early time today, but seriously what the forget is doing this? im lost for words and can make no sense out of this. this freaky stuff literally only happens when im using kukuklok and nothing else.

does anyone have any possible reason why my computer is making all these decisions without my acknowledgment???
