…Cindy’s hair edges are not perfect, but my eyes are gooey from staring at pixels.
…Ignis’ hair was impossible to color clean up enough for the chop, so I found a black and white image to put him on, problem solved. I should have softened the lighting on him a bit more, he looks a bit mismatched but oh well.
…I need to take more oddball cuts for silly chops. For some reason my mind keeps drifting towards Prompto in a kitten basket. 😛
…actually my imagination well is fairly dry at the moment. For a long time I’ve had this idea for an Ignis MV using a Bishop Briggs song, but I never quite come up with the exact scenes to put in it.

Cindy, solid color backgrounds

Posted on April 18, 2019 by Kranky

Playing around with the Ansel greenscreen option again. Using a solid color background (doesn’t have to be green) means you can “magic-wand” and cut out objects (middle-left pic below, line around Cindy).

Unfortunately hair is often a problem because of all the thin separated strands/spaces (the pics on the right side, above) and thus pixel/color bleeding around hair edges. It can be a lot of extra work to remove or blend out all the excess color around their hair, if I wanted clean-ish cut-outs. Or if you want to Fill the background with a different color instead (because the colors Ansel lets you choose from are pretty basic and kind of suck). Not even sure what I’d do with a large set of FFXV object cut-outs but I was bored and pointless busy work like this passes the time.

Gladio helps Aranea to her feet

Well, ok, technically, it’s Noctis as Aranea. 😛

Gladio sword posin’ again.

Ignis, black and white

I was missing his glasses.

I’ve been in such a funky mood the past couple weeks. Feeling old maybe. Knees hurt, hands hurt, back hurts. Fall asleep at the drop of a hat but can’t stay asleep for more than a few hours so it’s sleep, wake, sleep, wake (vs. 8 hrs rested). The pollen has been terrible too (spring after all) so a lot of sneezing and a stuffed up nose.

All your Ardyn’s belong to us

It’s a glitch that occurs if you’re using a Cheat Engine table to add Ardyn as a follower and then repeatedly use Avatara to switch Noctis appearance over and over. Adding this many WILL affect performance a lot. They do not follow you, and the duplicates do not remain upon reloading a save. But they do shuffle around and react to environment “spaces”, so you can bump into them to make them move if you wish, and they interfere with traffic and enemies will attack them, among other things. It’s hilarious.
