*NEW* Hot Sweet Redhead Pinups

Check her out! Here are three pics of this hot sweet redhead pinup girl with ginormous titties. I’m also going to redo these in postwork, see what my new style needs to be.

I’ll do an OLD then a NEW, one after the other, so you can compare.

So what do you think? I think I’m still content using Darthhell’s old tips and tricks on my newer images. I’m not completely happy with Daz Studio by the way. Not for a second. Sometimes when I’m in there and moving things around, I miss Poser so badly. And when I’m shopping or clearing out my wishlist at Renderosity, removing all the Poser or V4 based items, I have so much guilt. I swore I’d never use Daz. Now I beat myself up for it because who are we if we don’t stick to our principles??

Anyway. Ahem. Sniff sniff. Still making pinups. And working on an amazing DireLilith comic, slowly buying the products I will need for it. That demon baby you see in my new signature – what do you think about it? It’s relevant 😉 Something about demon babies…I dunno…Ever see Rosemary’s Baby? Or the recent Immaculate? Good stuff!

Same Old Problem

So remember how long ago I had that problem with shadows, and I kinda just…gave it up? Well I’m trying again.

So far I’ve gone through each of the lights in my i13 Pro Light Ease sphere’s set and turned on and off shadows, turned shadow intensity to 5 just to test, turned the blur thing up to 0.5. Gotten nothing but lots of darkness! Not the kinda shadow I’m going for.

I found this explanatory website – Light Properties – which is helpful but really, it’s not helping ME resolve this issue. My buddy balthazarbludd said to check the set to see if it had shadows. Well apparently my props in this particular scene have no properties in their properties tab – which is where the shadow settings are kept. So. Nope.

This is pretty frustrating. I really want to go to Renderosity’s forums and ask for assistance but I’ve done that before and gotten nothing. I really need someone to hold my hand and just point shite out to me and say, click that…now that…okay now type that. And BOOM, have it done. Ya know? I don’t need to build character around this, I don’t believe. Sigh.

P3dO Explorer Pro

So I bought a program. I was doing my own story, like I said I would, and I was looking for my previously installed droids, mechs, what have you. Couldn’t find them! Then I found them, and installed them, and now they have no thumbnails, so I have no clue what they are. Ugh!

So I did some searching because back in the day, you could do ‘some thing’ to your Runtime, and the Poser program would create and/or fix your thumbnails. But I can’t find ways to do that now, with all these upgrades and the death of Flash.

So, I found this program. It’s called P3dO Explorer. I got the Pro version, wasn’t too expensive but still, cost money. And I’m hoping it will fix the problem, but I’m also kind of doubting it will =(

Them Damned WebP Files – Edited2x

So I use Firefox. I love Firefox. But FireFox is trying to be all cool and shite, and support servers avoiding sharing actual img or png files – instead, the browser will check with the server, then throw up these webp images. I’m sure there’s a great reason…but I don’t care!

There are problems with webp files. My Photoshop can’t even open them to convert them to something more suitable for what I need. So I can’t put them into programs like Poser or put them into my pictures. I saw that some people couldn’t even upload them to sites like Imagur or whatever.

So how do you fix this? Well! Guess who just learned that?!!?

First, I am no professional, so don’t do this and then come to me saying yer browser is now fucked. I ain’t responsible for anything you break in your browser. That being said…

If you open a new tab of Firefox and type in this phrase – about:config – a whole new world opens to you! First, Firefox is gonna say “Are you sure you’re sure about this??” because probably this is access to things that can fuck up your browser. Don’t accept the responsibility if you’re not prepared!

I, of course, was. I’m a queen of fucking shit up and getting out of it, so I went ahead!

An empty ‘page’ of sorts opened with a search bar. In the search bar, you’ll be typing two phrases and checking them.

One phrase is this – image.webp.enabled

Mine said it was ‘true’ – I changed that motherfucker to false! Boom!

The second phrase is this – image.http.accept

Originally it says image/webp,*/* but you can change it, either double clicking or clicking on the Edit pencil icon if there is one. I changed mine to image/webp,/ => /

Guess what? It worked! One page showed up with NO IMAGES anymore, cuz the server wanted to only show me webp things. Fuck that site! Another site gave me the jpg file I hoped and dreamt for. So boom, take that, FireFox!

Here are the sites I used to ‘learn’ about this stuff:

Images won’t save correctly after update

Firefox 65 supports Google’s WebP Image format

EDIT 1: I say 1 cuz I’m sure I’ll be back to show you how to fix what broke! So, now the images on my own damned site aren’t showing up! I’ll figure out how to fix this and return, fear not!

EDIT 2: Okay, so I found another site – How to Disable Saving Images on Webp Format – and I did what they said to do, which was completely remove the entry or whatever in the image:http:accept thing. I hit delete and then clicked the Checkmark icon to accept the change. Reloaded my browser fresh, and my images are back on my site. If I find any other wrongful things, I shall come and let you know!

Told you I weren’t no pro at dis!
