    I use Tumblr and Twitter. Twitter has no effect but I'm starting to pick some readers on Tumblr slowly.

    Do you post links on Tumblr to each chapter or do you but the whole chapter on there?

    I'm beginning to wonder how difficult it would be to teach myself how to do real animations using Blender. I mean, I have all this knowledge now of how to properly shoot and edit film. Who's to say I can't do it in Sims? The hard part would be to get the voice overs. Hm.
    Just thinking.

    well, volunteers and friends are a thing. Maybe some professionals if you are willing to go that far.
  • Maladi777Maladi777 Posts: 4,393 Member
    @mypalsim1 Ohh, animations are beautiful. When I saw one particular I had to test it myself. And it makes the characters look so real!

    Yep. That's exactly what I mean. I could do loads of little clips and put them together. That does make me think that I should check and see what's already out there, especially given that it used to be that the only way to do poses was with replacement animation, right?

    edit: By clips I mean snippets of a shot.
    2nd edit: The tough part would be matching the mouth movements to the voiceover.

    Well, if you plan to make videos it could be useful, but for storytelling purposes the poses are sufficient. That's why there are still more poses than animations. I like to watch animations, but if I want to take a screenhot I have to pause it anyway, so what's the difference from a pose then?

    I'm talking movies. I wouldn't be pausing these clips.
    Yeah, the poses for screenshots are great. I'd still be doing that for the written stories. The movies would take comparatively ages to complete.

    Just thinking about a possible summer project.

    Pics of the inside?
    (because if all I had to live on was an interior decorator job--I'd starve)
  • swcheppesswcheppes Posts: 3,027 Member
    @mypalsim1 I haven't taken detailed pics yet but here's an idea of the inside.

    @LillyDoves Haha :D No it is not sunny here in Salzburg. We had the last three days snow and now it rains a lot. Well, I am used to. April does what it wants :D

    @swcheppes I love your buildings <3 It really looks amazing.

    @everyonewhoisinterested I made my first pose ever. I still have a lot to learn but it is a lot of fun. Pic in the spoiler. It is really just one.

    And I took pictures for the next chapter Angel in the darkness. Tomorrow there should be an update.

    Oh and @Maladi777 Tony is in my Angel save currently living with Mia due to the fact that I took screenshots for the last chapter with him. Guess what he did?
    He went into Mias room and stole a copy of Love and Ruin to read it.

    Later he gave me this puppy look.

    @swcheppes I LOVES IT! I wish I had a talent for decorating because it makes everything look so real.

    @Marialein Grats on making the pose! The world can't have too many.
    Those pics of Tony are awesome.

    bb.moveobjects cheat is a life saver for me! I would also suggest don't plan to make things perfect. It's the little imperfections that give it that real feel :)

    I'm so happy to see your creativeness sparking again @everyone !

    @swcheppes :o The restaurant is wow! I knew why I hired you to build for the Heffners. ;)

    @Marialein I missed you so much! I'm proud of you for making your first pose! Aww and Tony, I'm not surprised at all that he's rereading Beryl's books, although he's busy with another lady in his side adventure now. ;) I have to share some pictures of him that didn't make it in the third part of the Crossover.

    He's also rocking a new t-shirt that I made for him.

    And then there's
    a birthday gift I received that blew my mind. I don't know how I deserved that, but I'm deeply touched. I was gifted a personal Meatball pose. Can you believe it? I still can't. And I'm going to share the download link with you so you can enjoy it with me.

    Not sure if you have enough member points for that yet.
