Danny Does His Best (Hexing Sketchbook)

[danny]

hey there! i really wanted to keep track of my progress as i continued to work on my skillset.

my first baby utilizes some of the released codes from riley and was a result of me running with the hexing university tutorials. those are insanely well written. I have never hexed before, and i felt really well equipped with a good base understanding after it. thank you so much lacey for taking the time to put those together.

now if only my computer would save these pictures without eating the quality. i'll have to figure something else out.

in the meantime, here's my first baby... she doesn't yet have a name, but i can tell she will be sticking with me for a long time.



thanks for taking a look! I'm gonna go sleep now!!! i blinked and 5 hours passed!!

Aaa she's so cute! And really good for your first!

[Trisha 🌅]

she is excellent, especially for a first hexie! great job!

DANNY you did SO GOOD <3 this is so great for a first hex! i love her colors!!

i'm excited to see what kinds of things you hex in the future <3

[danny]

oh wow thank you so much for the kind words and support!!! i'm glad you guys like her too, i felt really proud of her!!

i'm gonna try and move on to make my first original addball appendage.. i'd like her to have a little nubbin' tail. not very advanced perhaps, but will show me where to place things on a body ball i think. i'd also like to modify her ears to be pointed.

i'd like to try to make her a brother next and he'll have my first haircode... i'm gonna try and go for an undercut. that seems? like it might be alright as a first hairstyle??

ℓacey ☀️, as long as you're peeking around, i did have a couple questions:

• you said in the hexing tutorial that there is a limit on the number of linez. has it been determined what the number is?
• i noticed that sometimes the hair texture i choose looks 'muddy'. i cant figure out what i'm doing wrong to cause this. it happens a lot with the teals, and looks like it might have something to do with layering on top of another color, but the orange i went with is so vivid so I don't know anymore

She is super cute for a first hexie, well done!

there is a linez limit, i can't remember the exact number but it is somewhere around 300 or so. 320 maybe?

are you making your own textures or using released textures? if you're using released ones, check your texture list - the numbers after each of your textures should be "0 256 256", for example: \resource\bmps\laceynew43.bmp 0 256 256

[Rylan ❄️]

certain textures also just don't look quite the same in game as they do out of game. sometimes you gotta mess around a bit to find the texture you're wanting ^^;

[danny]

thank you for the help! I will try those things. I appreciate the answers

[danny]

i did end up getting miss rory to a spot where i'm satisfied with her! her lil ears and nails were fun to figure out.


as for lilac baby, he's my first bmp hair guinea pig. i quite like the colors i settled on, i just hope they stay mostly true when i convert them to bmp. fingers crossed.

the shape is frustrating me a little, but i really wanted to learn a new skill for hexing weekend, so i'm just letting myself go to learn even if it's an imperfect product the first go round.


would anyone be interested in these little imps as adopts? i had a vision of making a whole rainbow of them, but was unsure if anyone would want to adopt
