I'd like to try one for Manifisto. I have an idea, I also got goatse'd by staring at your av.

I'm trying to collect sigs like trading cards, so if anyone hasn't done me one then please jump on it. Otherwise, anyone doing one up in an evil christmas theme would be cool. Or anything. haha.

E: Do you got a larger version or just a transparent background?

ooh excellent! yes here are some slightly larger ones, including one with a transparent background and one with the background only inside the fist:



Awesome. Not totally sure if It'll end up mattering a lot, but it's better to start with a good clean one.

The Manifisto flakes were a bit of work, but learning to parallax them was fun. That's at 40% size... I'll timg the full one.

okay! I could keep adding details to this forever, but I think this is a decent stopping point. rs, let me know if it's okay! if it is I will probably do a high quality render and then we're done!

After this I'm gonna have to start a sig for someone to post next year. That's really good work.

I wasn't sure if Barking Gecko got one. But, I'll give a shot to an idea in my head.
A: my idea went off the rails a bit. But, I had a different idea while playing around and did a little. I could improve it if it helps. The text might be hard to read. I like the font, but I might need to thicken the inner stroke(lol)

Thanks for working on this. I like the concept. The font is a bit hard to read, though.

That's what I was kinda bothered by. I'll change it to something better when I get home in a bit.

Anything else suggestion wise?


My first idea dropped fast when I realized I can't animate a bark. Burned off a bunch of tokens on getting a baseline image to play with. Turns out that there are reasonably no photos of a gecko and kitten in hammock, lol.

Looks good. Thank you for your service :zpatriot:

dope, I fully chose that one because of how cute the cat is in the little wizard hat. Some others had more 'island', but I kinda just had to go with cute cat.

I'm plugging away (slowly) at a sig for you. my current thoughts are something winter chess themed, sort of like this:



. . . with some byob stuff mixed in. any input at this early stage is welcome, I don't know exactly how it's gonna shape up yet (I have ideas, some of which are probably too much work!).

That's awesome. Do as much or as little as you want with it. I think it looks cool and it's thematically just going to get loved right up by my brain.

Oh, side note, I had some page open and my kid was looking at the Sig you made for RavenousScoot and he got super excited. I got zoom dialed up on laptop so it was a big part of the screen and he ran over to check it out and he's a fan.

hi my byob pals, can i please humbly request a winter (or summer as we call in the best hemisphere) sig?

If nobody beats me to it before I'm sober enough, how stoned of a sloth do you want? I'm kinda feeling a fully falling out of the tree into a pile of snow and as questionably as I can do it, there could still be a better idea/effort.
E: did miss case day... but I could also do it a properly seasoned for the, probably accurate, better hemisphere.

Also, Mani could you shoot me info on how you made that in case I figure out the details on how to make my sig work as a game? I can't do 3d, but I'm now really wanting a BYOB chess and I can maybe program it into the thing I made my other games with in 2d. maybe with effort(months) I could do it with Source.

does transparency work on stuff. I dig the tilted one that looks like a card. I just keep finding out new things from sig threads.


Manifisto posted:

are you asking about how I made your sig? I used blender, don't know if you're familiar with blender but it's an insanely powerful free open source 3d program. blender does not have a built in game engine per se, but it is used by a bunch of people for making game assets and the like. so for example the "pieces" on the board, with work, I might be able to turn into files that could be used in another program (e.g. unreal, unity, godot, hell I don't know from game engines unfortunately)

I have Blender but am just not good at making stuff. I made a thread about my idea. I do know there's conversions and I have made assets for games(not 3d) and have dealt with like skin maps and such, just nowhere near doing this kind of things.

Manifisto posted:

transparency is one of those topics that is unfortunately way more complicated than one might like (and, disclaimer, I don't fully understand it myself).

I typed up a lot of stuff but the short answer is, maybe you can get what you need by using the APNG file format

this is not the full sig, just a proof of concept



there may be some simple way to make this happen but the only way I could figure out to do it was very cumbersome, involving converting the mp4 video into a sequence of still images using GIMP, then for each frame image manually adding transparency and saving as a png format file, then uploading the sequence of png files to ezgif.com and using their "create APNG" function to make the video

maybe someone knows of a tool (preferably a free one!) that would make this process easier lol.

e: also for reference this one has just 3 frames and is almost a megabyte, you will not get nice image compression using APNG, though perhaps there are some tricks

I've used them(ezgif) lately to fix timing because photoshop would put out gifs that were slower than should. I love sig threads because I learn new stuff doing them and can catch cool ideas. I never heard of APNG so that's something to check. I still have done alil more for a gif from steamboat willy of the cut with the bird laugh and it's ten frames so not a lot to work with as far as the loop goes. DSP wanted to steal it and gently caress yea. I don't know what to do with it, but I wanna make it easy to go from if anyone has an idea. not everyone works like i do and i only get poo poo done when the mood and ideas hit together. I'm impressed by people that can actually just do work without the kick I have to have before I even have an idea.

I've been drinking for a day or so but I'm working on the sig, just got distracted by taking some naps. I'll have it done before the weekend, sorry about the delay.

Just an update. Have been plugging away at this sig since earlier. I'm pretty sure I did something the hardest way I could, but it should be done this afternoon.

Well, I had an idea that sounded funnier in my head than how it probably turned out, but you be the judge:



I can try and do something else if you give me a few pointers.

Congrats on your first sig.

I love sig seasons and when I can I make some stuff. I've been collecting mine and it's always awesome making/getting them. Come to the future ones and keep getting cool ppl to make cool things.

Also, Manifisto I'm still loving the poo poo outta my winter sig. I should make a page on my site to just host my sig list. The babydude loves cool stuff and will chill and watch my sigs while I tab out

there were a couple good avs when i requested for PrincessDoom but she didn't pick one. I'm gonna end up using them in sigs for her sometime or something.

I figure the sig threads aren't a bad place for new avs either. not much difference, other than size, when making something fun for someone.
