SKYLAB CHAT

[ladyfur]

oh, nobody should ever be criticized for their art. all art is valuable. from the paintings in museums to a child's first scribbles. it is all art.

 

[ladyfur]

:cat: That's a new one....have never seen that before that I can remember.

it didn't work. it was how you got the bee so i thought i'd see if there was a cat one.

 

[skylab]

Oh...I see....I just click the smiley at the top of the post box, and the smiley option box pops up....new stuff is at the top, and the older ones are at the bottom....I use a lot of the older ones. So that's where the :: comes from

 

[skylab]

...and to post a YouTube video, it's the next one over from the smiley....it's three dots with a pull down arrow, choose the first one, Media, and paste in the URL, then when you save your post, you'll have an embedded YouTube.

 

[ladyfur]

i'll check in tomorrow. night, sky.

 

[skylab]

Since I do so many links, I try to keep them neat....so I just type the text to the link....like I'll use my website as an example:

SKYLAB - 3D TOONZ

...then I highlight that text, and click the chain link symbol at the top of the posting box, insert the URL to the website, click insert when I'm done, and that's it. I usually go back and highlight in bold, the B icon, to make it easier to find. This comes in handy later when the thread keeps growing in size, makes stuff easier to find when searching.

 

[skylab]

Okay, see you later Ladyfur....again, we're so glad to have you join in. Good night

 

[skylab]

A friend's birthday is today, and was searching around for some ideas for an email greeting, and ran across this....haha.

Good night everyone

 

[Terre]

Good morning.
Some forums also use @name to call someone's attention to a particular post.
I don't do anti-social media either.

 

[skylab]

Hey Terre

I'm just going to stick this link here for convenience later....it seems to be the page where Linda left for vacation and Dani last stopped by....so it will serve as a way to beam them back to the point where they left off...that is, page 418 of this thread. If I can keep that number in my mind, I can help them find the place.

So here we go... a link for a quick trip back to page 418 of this thread

[ladyfur]

i remember that blue elephant like creature.

 

[skylab]

That's Nursoda's Slon....which is my avatar, and the character that I used for several years in order to create some crazy animations. Lately we've been doing a lot of Doc Pitterbill stuff, face morphs, poses and animations.

 

[skylab]

Here's the latest bundle of Doc Pitterbill face morphs that I created back in July. If I remember correctly, the last one was Tom Selleck, so I called it the Selleck bundle. These face morphs include Doc Spock, and the Spock animated salute. All are zipped and attached in a runtime folder to this post.

The free Krita paint program has recently released version 4.2.5 for download.

Also, Artweaver 7 has recently been released as well, for free download.

 

[Terre]

Good afternoon. Keeping track of when they were last here sounds like a good idea to me.

 

[Terre]

The free Krita paint program has recently released version 4.2.5 for download.

Also, Artweaver 7 has recently been released as well, for free download.

I wonder if either has a Linux version the Ladyfur can use. That would be nice if there is.

 

[DanaTA]

@skylab : Ladyfur says "Hi." She remembers you from 3DNoir. I'm not sure if you two ever came across each other at the D place.

yes! you are on page 2 of my friends list from artzone in alphabetical order. i have everything saved from my profile from when they culled it. i was right, it is you.

Yes, that's me. I didn't manage to save much from there. I tried to copy the blog posts I made and my friends list from there. Not that it did me much good.

Dana

 

[DanaTA]

hi, dana. i may remember you from artzone or daz forums, not sure.

Both!

 

[skylab]

Downloading 8.5 gig Unreal Engine beta this evening, so can't play tonight, but hope this helps.

 

[DanaTA]

Yeah, I noticed you were a fast forum learner....I tend to start off slow, then jump in deeper later....and some things I've never tried....like what Terre was doing today with the @ symbol...what's that? Just a way to direct conversation to someone, or is a hotkey for something? Here I am, asking you what it is....haha.

On forums like this one, it's generally a way to direct a comment to a certain person, and to get their attention. I see it used a lot in threads where there are many members chiming in. Without it, it can be confusing to others..."was she talking to me?" "what was that supposed to mean?" When you prefix a specific member, then your comment makes sense to the person indicated, and others know that it wasn't meant for them. Anyway, this is how I understand it...and use it.
