Sorry for not being able to judge last round!! Life has been hectic since the semester started and now we're bunkering down for the impending impact of Irma (we're going to get hard and this city was NOT built to withstand hurricanes so lmk). I hope anyone else in the path is safe and I wish everyone the best of luck with…
Sorry for not being able to judge last round y'all! I went home the week before and every time I go back north and come back, my allergies get REALLY bad and this time, my body SLAMMED me and I couldn't even stare at my screen for longer than a few minutes at a time and I was just really sick. Yuckeroonies! You all did…
No problem <3 Depending on the size of the picture and the area I need to cover, I typically do a very rough sketch of the hair with the brush at ~10px and then go in with my base color and shape it with flyaways and whatnot to down to maybe ~5px, but each layer of actual hair I try to take down 2-3px so that there's a…
@JoeJoe11 my go-to brush pack has always been these. I used to use the "Hair Brush" back when I was starting out, and it would create stuff like this: So it kind of already has a texture, but eventually I got pretty frustrated with the lack of detail as you went to smaller sizes and I felt it didn't give me the pay off I…
@TEXASTWANGTONYA I used to make poses back in the day and I feel you - it's really difficult to start!! However, something that really helped me out was an old pal Kaleekalo made a tutorial where you actually "frankenstein" together EA poses in blender to create what you want - super helpful!! I did it with these two…
@annathefantabulous I think that the blue haze/blob/etc is because you are posing your model in CAS as opposed to the actual game. I'm not sure what the limitations of poses are in TS4, but I think they've managed to create a pose player for in-game as well at this point. If someone with a little more experience using TS4…
@Gege That was something I meant to mention before - if you can buy the food at stores like Walmart or Target (or other super stores like that) it's probably not something you should be feeding your pet in terms of health and longevity. Definitely a pet specialty store should have the food in stock and the employees…
@Gege in terms of food, it's really gonna depend on the cat. I've always heard great things about Canidae and Solid Gold - both are a little on the pricier side but my coworkers SWORE by Solid Gold, as did the vets that came in for our clinics. I avoid staying away from IAMS or Purina in general, but it's really a…
Okay, my scores are almost done, just waiting for a response from Beech about something. You all did such a great job! For those who've never had me judge a competition they're in or are new - my comments can get long and at times may seem nitpicky, but back in the day, people (at least to my little middle school self)…
Just to touch on something Amy said (I used to work for a pet store), when you adopt the cat, make sure to ask the shelter what brand of food their already on and go ahead and buy a small bag of it and a bag of the food you'd want to feed them (I recommend Canidae for a dry food) and what you want to do to switch foods is…
@wiredhanna67 Hey! Due to Photobucket's new policy in which you have to pay to share photos on 3rd party sites, would you mind reuploading your picture onto another hosting site? I personally recommend Flickr as I find it gives the best quality (at least back in the day).
@Jendowoz0612 thank you! Glad to see you're still around :) @Socallucyfan I did the majority of my stuff in game as well, so I totally understand! I am going to go ahead and back @MizoreYukii and say that BurntWaffles was great with TS3 lighting mods. I always used this one that was on ModTheSims (used balanced and…
What do you mean by "affect the lighting in game" specifically? Like outdoor lighting? Or are you moreso looking for tips on better ideas of how to do outdoor lighting?
So I had found this a long time ago and read the prologue and got distracted and never found it again until yesterday afternoon (and finished yesterday night.......). Let me tell you, I was hooked! What phenomenal story telling! The photos add SO much and are so beautifully done, and each little plot twist and new…
So I found this earlier today and read from start to end - I don't think a story has ever made me laugh so hard!! I'm honestly SO in love with this concept and I'm glad I found it. It's so well written and I love the detail in the background! You truly do a phenomenal job and I can't wait for more chapters!
Hello friends! So I'll be stepping in for these first few rounds as sort of a guest judge figure since I'm still in summer classes and going right into fall classes as well (plus working two jobs! gotta love the life) so I can't be all too permanent, but I can certainly find the time now to help! Preferred Name: Jake Agent…
These are some PHENOMENAL photos, y'all! I'm seriously impressed. I always tried to partake in this competition but headshots are, in my opinion, the hardest style of photo to pull off. I'm so blown away by the skill and talent that you all have. @jpikman I feel you on that! When I drew hair, that alone would be about 10…
