Wasn't this already posted somewhere?

Last thread.

>>13107436
It's impossible to have two models touching without having clipping issues.

someday i'll draw for you

but not today.

>>13107478
First, that's completely false.
Second, even if it were true it's still no excuse for such horribly obvious clipping.

>>13107660
Oh, my turn to spew bullshit without proving it!
>Elvis is still alive.

>>13107665
Clipping can be easily prevented with collision detection algorithms. Which aren't anything approaching new.

>>13107680
Are there good ways to do that without injecting into MMD?

>>13107680
Sounds like something I could do in Bender. But then the models makers would crucify me for not using their models in MMD only.

>>13107341
Hey that's my character. looks pretty cool with the hairstyle redesign

>It's impossible to have two models touching without having clipping issues.
Your reality must be pretty shitty. But hey, it's your fault for turning down help!

>>13107870
I totally look forward to your help, Tourette Guy.

>>13107732
He's just being lazy. In most cases you don't even have to add new physics, just move bones attached to the clothes alonside the arm motions. If you don't even want to do that, you can just use careful camera positioning and clever cutting. More things he could have learned, if only he had listened.

>>13107870
Where's your 3D game?

>>13107882
Drop the third person when you're talking to me.

And no, I don't want to use "careful camera positioning". The main focus of the movie is Nue's ass, and unlike you, I don't want to cover my mistake to make an autist feel better. If that webm bothers you, too bad.

>in most cases
So you don't know anything, you're just supposing. I should've expected that, all talk, nothing useful.

I've finally bought my first painting set. But boy am I bad at it. Does anyone have a good place/tips to start with oil painting?

>>13107931
I don't think Internet can really help you for that. Try to find a local club.

>>13107730
You'd have to have animation software that was built to include anti-clipping measures. You'd want to ask /3/, I'm not really an expert on what software does what. I do know that Autodesk Inventor warns on clipping, and would imagine that similar 3dCAD software would do likewise, but that's drafting and design software, not cute girl animation software.

It's not a technically difficult task, all you have to do is check for collision each frame of the animation and spew an error/warning message if there's overlap. It just significantly increases the amount of processing required, since you have to check collision using the actual geometry instead of just putting invisible boxes around things and seeing if those intersect.

>>13107977
>You'd have to have animation software that was built to include anti-clipping measures
So in other words, getting crucified by the people who made the models, given how anal they are about people misusing them.

People I should just give up on animation and learn to draw.

>>13107995
I can't wait. Next you'll blame the guys who invented pencils, scanners, and your editing software.

>>13107977
It's just a fact of MMD animation that avoiding clipping is hard. Yes, if they changed the software they were using, they could avoid this problem (obviously you can manually avoid it in MMD if you do work), but it's an MMD animation involving contact - it's only going to be so great.

>>13108010
>that childish bait

>>13108043
Manually animating every frame in MMD is tedious for a pretty lame result. You can trust me, I tried. It just doesn't look good.

>>13108367
>he still hasn't put on a name
>he's still replying
>he thinks you have to edit frames manually

When I'm starting I get into some sort of echo chamber in which my thoughts go on and on ruminating over everything.

For me it is literally impossible to draw unless I'm listen to music or a movie, else my mind voice turns into a self flagelating cacophony. Does anyone else shares this problem?

Does anybody happen to have any of the archived threads from the old repository saved that they wouldn't mind uploading?

No. How about http://simplynoise.com ?
I enjoy listening to Pink Noise sometimes.

Extremely smug anime girls

Hello /jp/. 2 months ago I had posted this for critique and the feedback I received was to fix her jaw/mouth and arms. I tried to make said corrections but have failed; Didn't have time to work/improve on the sketch since then until now. I was wondering if any experts here can demonstrate that for me visually? Would be grateful.

>>13109771

>>13108404
Who are you quoting, newfriend?

Sorry to burst in like that, but is it possible to request artworks here?
To be more accurate, I'm looking for backgrounds for a small game. There should be at least ten, maybe elevent different backgrounds. All inspired by Touhou.
If someone's interested, here's the list :
>Human Village
>Myouren Temple (inside, out, and if possible the back)
>Hakurei Shrine (outside)
>Mountain/Waterfall
>Senkai (inside&outside)
>Kourindou (inside)
>a dirt road for general purposes
>the sky.
If you can't or don't want to help, it's okay.

This is a thread for posting OC, not requesting it like pizza delivery. If you want to share your game, fine, then maybe someone might be interested to help.

>>13109771
Wow, this is still going on? The best way to improve is finishing stuff, even if it's not perfect, so you can move on and keep practicing. Lineart this stuff before it expires, then you can do some minor corrections.

>>13112654
I was expecting that people are cool like me but they just aren't. Welcome to my world, now get out.

>>13112493
what is an ugoira?

you mean an animated gif?

I was directed here from a drawthread. I'm not on jp often, but right now I'm on the quest for a picture of Saber making the Awoo~ face. I've searched all over and can't find one, nor will anyone fulfill the request. I was hoping someone here could.

>>13112740
I'm sorry, but this isn't a request thread. People just come here to post their art, and get harassed and insulted.
There's no request system, so don't get your hopes up.

>>13112740
This isnt a request thread, its an OC thread.

>>13112765
>>13112771
Kk. Snice your probably more familiar here than I am, are there usuallyany request threads running?

>>13112779
on /jp/? no.

Try the draw threads on /a/ or /v/
you could even try /i/ if you want

>>13112733
a zip archive, with each frame as a separate jpg. displayed as an animation.

>>13112793
sounds like a more complex version of an animated gif.

>>13112803
yeah, that or animated png since that one's also a container for separate frames made out of single pngs.

>>13112808
So whats the point.

>>13112817
Better quality than gifs.
Not that you would know.

Also makes it harder for filthy westerners to steal pictures and repost them on deviantart.

>>13112823
Oh i see its like DRM for drawings, go figure someone who signs their work would go as far as to do that. I bet he's one of those people who doesnt let folks save their pics on their blog and asks people to buy his "prints"

>>13112823
downloading them is a piece of cake, the main problem is probably reassembling them into something boorus will understand, which is pretty much just gif, with its 256 color limit vs ugoira's 24 bit compression artifact-ridden jpg per frame.

>>13112843
i think it's just japan being backwards as usual. there's a perfectly fine gif or apng, but instead they reinvent the wheel, except it's square shaped.

that and don't you need to subscribe to use animated formats?

You may not believe me, but there a lot very decent animators for MMD.

Really, you are making a fool out of yourself. Everything people told you is true, at least everything I see. You should just accept that. Either you invest some time into learning how to animate decently or you don't - If its the latter though, don't complain when people tell you it's shit.

I would suggest some of glen vilppu's videos on gestures, anatomy etc. you can find a torrent of a bunch of his instructional videos. they're pretty helpful and you can apply what you've learned to animu stuff.

I really want to post my lewd art for everyone but I need to get a new tablet .. some day.

Figured I may as well ask for some tips on recording stuff since I am new to the field but would like to contribute to >>13114775
but don't have a PC at the moment, so I got enough time to educate myself.
I plan on recording with both my guitar and midi-piano.
Guitar recording is my main issue here, it sounds very muddy.
I searched around and found out that turning the lows down and the highs up is a common trick and I totally forgot about high-pass filters, so I'm gonna use those as well. Next thing I'll do is buying a bass guitar, but does anyone here have anymore recording tips?
I think I am fairly capable in arranging and composing, so any tips on production and mastering are welcome, as well as links to tutorials and stuff, there are so many out there I don't know which are good.

>>13119740
I would like to help, but I only know and use a DAW to make music. I don't even know how to play an instrument. I how you find someone to help you out, though.

I don't actually go there so I'm not sure, but you might visit /mu/ to ask general stuff there. Don't know how they'll react, but I'm sure you'll to get a more positive reaction if you _don't_ say you're from /jp/ than if you do.

>>13120088
Sounds reasonable, but /mu/ is kinda meh to be honest. I'd rather not visit there for various reasons.
Still, I got some friends that do music so I'll ask them as well.

What DAW do you guys use?
I use Reaper for guitar recordibg and Magix Music Maker for everythibg else, which is said to be beginner friendly but nothing special.
I'd like to get Cubase but money is tight and I am too much of a whimp to pirate.

>>13120374
>whimp to pirate
HEH. Get ready to spend all your money on VSTs then.

I use FLStudio, it works almost exactly how I see music, in tiny loop blocks you can mess around with. But I'm also a DAW-only anon, no instruments for me.

Have had some experience with Reaper, Audacity, Vegas and Modplug Tracker, Reaper is quite good for dealing with recording and samples, I just don't buy the clumsy FX system.

my latest draw

>>13121953

>>13122021

>>13120374
I'm the same as >>13120752

Only FLStudio. The built-in sound banks range from not very good to quite good enough but thankfully, you can install VSTs, soundfonts, external sounds (like mp3s) and the like.

>>13120374
I use Reaper because it's the only one that's not a resource hog. Not that it really matters, it's all about the work flow.

>>13120752
>>13122187
Do you have any good chiptune vst?
I use DSK vsti for medieval stuff and it's awesome for something cheap, but can't find nice chiptune sounds.

>>13123032
Not really, since I don't really use chiptunes that much. For the beepy sounds, I usually just use either Harmor or Hamless (I can't tell which is which) that comes with FLStudio.

>>13123032
I have downloaded a few, but the only one I see myself reutilizing often is Bleep.

I hope someone recommends something, though. I enjoy chiptune and doing some with good tools would be fun.

>>13123032
I heard chipsounds is supposed to be the best outside of real hardware.

I don't do anything chiptune related though so I wouldn't know for sure

/jp/sies you can try a really early build of the game, there's only one enemy and a few attacks (still using placeholders)

-You can launch the enemy in the air with Up + Attack when it's not attacking
-Press A to parry its attacks if you can time it right
-Xbox controller should already be configured
-It has a lot of health so it might take a while to kill
-You can rebind keys from the main menu

I used to be pretty good too, but then I had a long pause of six years, and after that I had many others between three and nine months
meeting someone that was really good and feeling that he didn't even considered me completely destroyed any trace of confidence I had. even doodling is problematic for me now.
I think you have still time to try seriously.
I wish I could go back ten years ago and don't give up my dreams so easily because "I don't care, I have no future anyway". don't do the same mistake I did

Is it pep talk hour or something? I wish y'all would shit your clams and stop wasting posting space.

>>13138921
Wasting post space? There's no post limit, and if you're worried that the thread will die too soon, there's the archive and someone can always make one.

>>13138975
It's the same concept as filling a thread with requests. Better to have your pep talk somewhere else and leave the oc thread for posting OC. Stop lowering the quality of these threads already.

Lately there's been a large influx of dumb fucks who like using the oc thread as their personal blog while never contributing, they should fuck off.

>>13138982
I'd agree with you if /jp/ were faster, but it's so slow it doesn't even matter.

Thanks for your input, confirmed /a/ crossie. Go back to your board's "oc" threads and spam it with requests because a person like you just doesn't care anyway.

>>13139007
This really is ironic because you're shitting it up instead of posting oc. Also, only "crossies" use crossies unironically.

>>13139015
Somebody needs to tell you to fuck off.

If you're not trolling then delete your posts.

Nice try.

>>13138982
>Lately there's been a large influx
This shit happened since before the oc threads were even numbered. only someone trolling or awfully new would say something like that
>It's the same concept as filling a thread with requests
no you fuck, requests aren't allowed simply because this thread is for spontaneous oc and not fullfilling requests, except when someone asks for them.

I for one wouldn't call it Vaporwave, but yeah, that's the kind of grounds you're covering, with little musicality and lots of aesthetics.

that's a huge slap in the face, anon, and quite frankly, an inaccurate assessment. do you not listen to hip-hop or something? i can understand if it's not to your taste, but to say it's all style and no substance is insulting.

>>13141894
But then again, is "THE SIMULUCRUM (sic) IS TRUE" and some mojibake substance?
I do listen to some hip-hop, trap and other slowmo niggercore stuff which I'm unable to classify, such as https://soundcloud.com/ggabbe/08-nations-and-nations
But I don't follow any scene, so I'm just giving my opinion.

Bear in mind I'm giving it honestly, so the slap in the face is not intended to be gratuitous, but rather a "snap out of it" call. You don't have to follow it, I'm a random anon at a random board in the Internet. But yeah, I keep my opinion of not seeing any special appeal in it.

>>13141971
>But then again, is "THE SIMULUCRUM (sic) IS TRUE" and some mojibake substance?
well you clearly know what it's supposed to say. the obfuscation of the text is intentional, though i will admit, stylistically borrowed from various sources.

At risk of sounding pretentious, yes, yes it is supposed to be substantial. this whole project was a concept album meant to be a sort of poststructural exercise. samples and sounds used in a way that i can only describe as "textual" (I don't know if there's a proper term for it). the referential titles, adding/splitting kanji to condense meaning, self-referencing and external referencing by the samples and metadata, etc. the point was to tie these together and recontextualize them into an intertextual kind of story--a story based around the idea of a rapper who managed to successfully steal a real person's identity and history and turn it into his own caricaturized version of it. rick ross the rapper is much more "real" to everyone than the irrelevant freeway ricky ross. the image precedes the person. symbols become all.

i need to stop. i've thought too much about. i've tried "coding" as much as i could so that the project would speak for me. i'm bad at explaining things.

as for the music itself, i honestly don't think you're engaging with it enough to see how "musical" it is getting, particularly rhythmically, tonally, and texturally. is it super avant-garde experimental stuff? no. i still want it to be listenable after all. but it's not your basic rap shit either.

>I'm a random anon at a random board in the Internet
it's more than that. you're a /jp/sie. This has been my home for the past...i don't even know how many years anymore. that's why it hurts so much more. if this were anyone else on any other board, i wouldn't give a fuck.

i'm sorry for going off like this. you don't have to like it. i just want you to know i didn't just thoughtlessly shit this out because i thought it would "look cool." that's all.

I know people frequently ask how to begin drawing but I'm interested in the beginning resources/stories of popular japanese artists as well as fanartists on pixiv and similar sites.

Do many use the same popular books used in the west? What are the foundations of drawing in Japan?

In the original she is looking up towards the viewer. In your version she's looking hard to the left. The narrowness of the irises probably confused you. There's nothing wrong with the original.

Where exactly?

B-Best 2hu

are there any guides to drawing cute lolis with a mouse?

>>13145530
How about using different VSTs? That might be a start.
At least get rid of this choir Ah ah ahs.

Also the vocal mixing is bad, specially when the choir is playing along, your voice disappears.

The music itself is fine, you are stuck on the technical/production stuff this time around.

>>13146053
Drawing with a mouse is pretty stiff.
I suggest you draw it by hand, then photograph it and make the digital clean up using your mouse.

>>13146053
Disable pointer precision and lower the speed a bit, the rest applies to both mouse and pen.

>>13146191
So the song/composition itself isn't bad? Because that's what I'm really concerned about.

I understand the quality of the synths and mixing itself is shit, but there's little I can do to improve that. A $200 keyboard is all I have to make do with. Which as you can hear, sounds incredibly cheap. I use VSTs for pianos and various string sections, but a lot of what I use heavily like choirs aren't replicated the way I want in sample banks. I'm not looking for a Gregorian Choir.

The vocal mixing is what's bothering me. And is definitely my weakest point when it comes to mixing. I can never decide if it's too loud or if I've made it too quiet. https://clyp.it/kb2zh1xy I remixed it a little, tried to make the chorus more prevalent. If you feel my vocals get too quiet at certain points please tell me and I'll raise them.

I've also tried EQing out some of the bassy frequencies, because I've come to realize a lot of my songs are unnecessarily crowded and fatiguing because of overabundant bass frequencies.

But yea, I really wish I had better instruments. I feel if I had label funding and a studio to use I could make some amazing stuff.

>>13144838
you may not realize it but I can see in ways you're getting better.
Now that's said the hand of the brunette girl needs to be redone.
I really like the hands of the blonde loli.
The left lolis upper stomache is kinda messed up.
the left hip near the ribbon would be fine with a little curve but it curves twice which doesn't transition well to the legs.
I like the drawing even if it isn't perfect.

>>13144838
lewd and what is up with those proportions. i like exaggeration, but damn man. still kinda like it though.

Suddenly I thought the rough I drawing would be suitable to put on boxer shorts.
So I tried.

>>13147650
Masturbation time is going to be awkward as fuck.

>>13146239
I'm pretty sure that almost any synthesizer could replicate that sound you want. Add some little effect to it if you're still unsatisfied.
About mixing, don't understimate the power of volume and panning, that the first thing you should work on before EQing. When EQing, first of all, you should try making it sound as bad as possible (because it's easier), now that you know what sounds bad. you should be able to know what to do to make it sound good. Always try cut completely the extremely low frequencies, 20hz and lower, and try to ease the conflicting frequencies.

>But yea, I really wish I had better instruments. I feel if I had label funding and a studio to use I could make some amazing stuff.
Not that it would really change the things very much. Many people make some amazing things with just a PC.

>Not that it would really change the things very much. Many people make some amazing things with just a PC.
They usually do have nice audio interfaces or at least a decent synth/keyboard though.

Thanks a lot for the help anon, appreciate it.

>>13149165
I'm wondering what kind of choir you need. Maybe I can find something.

>>13149251
Something like this (the Roland VP-770 Vocal Modulation keyboard):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVTxYRuCgyI (The main riff starting at 0:05)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k08bsQ_lsYU

The problem is it's very unique sounding and there's nothing close to emulating it. I don't think a soundbank will work, I need something that'll let me modify my voice while singing. There's a feature in REAPER that allows me to pitch-shift my voice live but it's very dry and cheap sounding.

I've looked everywhere but if you can find something I'll be in your debt forever.

>>13149304
>I don't think a soundbank will work, I need something that'll let me modify my voice while singing
Now that I really know what you meant, I can say you're absolutely right. Finding something like that would be pretty hard, specially without paying, but I think melodyne would work good enough for what you want.

>>13149402
I've thought about melodyne but it's CPU-intensive. Also, because I just copy-paste the vocal to make a harmony it sounds really robotic, like a cheap chorus filter. Unfortunately I don't think software can do what I want.

I'll just stick with my plan of saving up until I can eventually afford the VP-770.

Hola /jp/.
I'm trying to get into drawing and while I don't want to rush it, I just want some words of wisdom to get me on the right track with as few beginner's mistakes as I can manage.

I'm doing beginner's anatomy now, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do faces.
If I put the eyes far apart, it looks... you can guess. If I make them bigger to compensate, it looks like I'm doing Key art. And I can't even figure out to start with WHERE the face goes.

You can't tell much from this doodle of course, I just drew on eyes and a mouth to give you an idea of where I currently in my inexperienced mind think eyes and a mouth go.

>>13149474
Melodyne can also change the timbre of the voice and other wacky things like that, just give it a try. Alternatively, you should give a look Antares Harmony Engine, but it's not particularly better.
>>13149537
I you don't know what faces look like, just look at some faces anime faces from your favorite artists, but don't copy. Be analytical, feel the face from all angles, the measurements, try to understand the form, how is it composed and constructed. Basically, try to understand how they go on about faces, and most importantly, think in 3d. Reading something like eyes start from the first 1/3 of the face won't cut it.

>>13149629

I sort of reverse-engineered the face of one drawing an artist I like made. Though it left me with more questions than answers. Nonetheless I push forwards.
Thanks.

>>13149650
Can you post it?

>>13149670

I didn't save it, but I remade it just now so you can see how I "reverse engineered" it.
All I did was estimate and guess how he placed his outlines in the sketch phase.

It didn't really answer my question of "are shoujo heads shaped like beans, or like a circle with a triangle stuck on it?"
I did some mental outline tracing to another artist, and his artwork came up kinda bean-shaped. But I think it's just a very clever way of hiding his outline shapes by covering it up with hair.

>>13149537
you're kinda right, usually the eyes take up ~half the lower half of the face
top half's more of a plectrum shape

give this book a look: https://yande.re/pool/show/2192

>>13149748

Thank you, anon.

>>13149723
>like a circle with a triangle
Don't think about shapes or outlines, think about forms, like spheres and piramids. I think you did the guidelines wrong, and got confused with the hair, because that head is not that wide.
But did you learn anything about it? Like why does he draw and place eyes like that? Or what it would look like drawn from another angle?
I don't think that picture is particularly good to learn from. It's very flat.

>>13149723
The head doesn't touch the edge of the hair. Your red needs to be a little short and much slimmer.
That other anon is full of shit. If you can't draw a head, google human head anatomy and proportion, then start working on your japanese animays once you learn how things are generally spaced.
As for your doodle, it looks off because you put an adult chin on a baby's head, which is why you're struggling with the spacing and proportion of everything else.

tl;dr google human faces and trace anime until you can see all the 3d shapes in your head.

>>13149776

Roger, I'll try to make the mental switch from shapes to forms. I also noticed what I did wrong with tracing the forms (pic related.)
The green outline isn't precise, it's just... well, a general idea of what I got wrong.

>But did you learn anything about it?
Yeah. I studied a lot of his other pictures, specifically where he puts facial characteristics. I don't want to downright copy this artist, but he's one of my favorites so I'll use a few of his images to learn from.
>Or what it would look like drawn from another angle?
I didn't think of that. I'll do some sketches later of what it might look like at a different angle, just as practice.

>I don't think that picture is particularly good to learn from. It's very flat.
I just picked one semi-randomly. But yeah I suppose it's not a good example.

>>13149800

Roger. This isn't the first time someone told me you should be able to draw human anatomy before you draw anime anatomy, so I'll switch focuses to the former now. Thanks.

>>13149816
...wow, i can't even touch this image..

>>13149748
>how to draw anime
pls no

>>13149816
A good little exercise you could do as a beginner is to bisect the drawing with lines, taking into acount the form, like a wireframe.

>>13149748
This might be useful, but if I were you I wouldn't rely on it.

>>13149816
Who's the artist?

>>13149946

This guy: http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=127206

Is the anon I talked to extensively about Noko's success in the Kamattechan thread here?

>>13149071
That means a lot to me. I will try not to disappoint.

>>13148308
If you think it of it as a protagonist an hour or so after a trauma, the imagery will probably be less opaque.

>>13148229
Using a time machine to steal art isn't going to work if you keep noticing the source.

>>13149857
>like a wireframe
Seconding. I've been playing around with this the last few weeks, and it's been really helpful in forcing me to think about the 3D form of an object instead of just its outer contour. A thin, lightly-drawn mesh over an object also soothes my autism, but your mileage may vary.

>>13152225
Stealing art is perfectly legit

>>13123032
I feel bad for posting this without giving my two cnets on the other anons music, but my internet sucks too hard so I have to download the songs and that taked time.

Either way, I got my way around to use some chiptune-vst and did this on a whim:
