Dampierre and Co's CaS Tips and Tricks Compendium Curio~!

i just figure out the adjust for halo eyes-

Special 1: Pure Ring (Right Eye)
> Location: Head
> Horizontal: 0
> Vertical: -36
> Back: -15
> Width: 50
> Length: 50
> Depth: -50
> Rotate Vertically: 94
> Rotate Horizontally: 78
> Angle: 0

Special 2: Pure Ping (Left Eye)
> Location: Head
> Horizontal: 14
> Vertical: -37
> Back: -14
> Width: 44
> Length: 32
> Depth: -50
> Rotate Vertically: -82
> Rotate Horizontally: 72
> Angle: 0

if it's not right then let me know and i will change it ok?

because i use halo eyes for Algol that was created by MistaKoo

Anyone know how to make a hookah-smoking caterpillar?

Thanks in advance.

One for the CaS requests thread I'd think. This is more for simple little tricks and tips rather than full on CaS help. Though there're designs for pipes, cigars and other things you could use. Try looking for Matty82's Alice in Wonderland CaS thread, not sure if he did the 'pillar.
 
Lots of edits to the Breast Augmentation post on the previous page; I didn't put them in a separate post because I didn't want to break up the material. Not as recently but I've made several to the One-Offs post above, too. -GEF

And some amazing edits they are as well. I especially love the Medusa/Valk change up, and plan on stealing it.
Much obliged Gef!

They are, i did some naked versions of my CAS too, and experimented with breasts, but i am better with p....y, check French Cancan, Hildegaru and Centuria CAS if you wanna see examples (in my thread)...
some of the breast augmentations feel tacked on, but some look stunningly natural thanks to gradients.

Anyways, your R&D is much appreciated...i could spend hours sharing my techniques in this very interesting thread, but i usually do when i post my CAS, and just wouldn't get published by my editor in the end ;o)
 
Thanks both. Just when I thought I put the topic behind me, I had a moment of "Duh!" with respect to the fishnet shirt, still not stunningly natural but a damn sight closer.

>I especially love the Medusa/Valk change up

Glad you liked it, LB. I'm especially pleased with the way that design came together. I posted it to feature the medusa heads, but I also really like the effect of the sticker over the leafy pattern. At first glance you see foliage, with an irregular shape as is common in nature, but quickly the negative spaces resolve into the creepy image of a skull.

Vilarcane, I'd love to see your design wisdom showing up on this thread. I assume I have access to the same repertoire of puzzle pieces as you, but some of your designs have me asking, "Where did he get that?"

Thanks, but no...
...I do not possess my own personal set of DLC.

You might wanna check my thread in a few for a new slideshow, because i pay tribute to a technique you invented, and one that did impress me a lot, and happened to suit one of my new CAS designs like a glove...*steal*

i'd rather ask you to ask me what specific effect/part of a design puzzles you, would save me some time ;o)
 
I forgot to mention that Le Bello showed me on a viola CAS (i guess) something i never did myself, meaning a magic staff using the orb as part of it and special items to do the rest...when i saw the CAS i was like...WTF is that contraption of his ?

SKILLED MATHEMATICAL PLANNING.
 
i suck at maths, but am very good at english, danish, french, german and latin.

now go to my thread already !!! (i know you are busy, you secretive moustachio (=muchacho)

Long pipes usually have a bent stem. Something like the butterfly antenna, super small, with the demonic horns, also minimum size, for the bowl, would resemble pipes I've seen in real life

Actually, this works, except in a close-up where you can see that the butterfly antennae are fuzzy. I attempted to make this a meerschaum pipe, with a bump-mapped pattern on the bowl to represent the carving.

Looks a bit odd (a black antenna would be better maybe), but still a valiant effort, i know how hard it can be to place items correctly, especially that kind of double items

Most meerschaum pipes have yellow stems. A new meerschaum is white, but the material is porous. One which is smoked regularly and handled carefully takes on a rich yellow color, and I think the stem is chosen to match the color that the bowl will eventually become. The stem in my CaS matches the color of stems on the two meerschaum pipes that I own. (I don't smoke 'em; the same property that makes them easy to carve makes them easy to damage.) That said, I have seen pipes in this style carved from wood, so brown would be a realistic choice and perhaps more recognizeable. I'll try making it darker.

I posted the sprite for the pipe, but in the overall design, I tried to take my queue from you and be a bit more liberal with patterns and less so with color saturation.

I officially challenge you to do a peace pipe ! ;o)

A Native American calumet has a distinctive design, common across a vast geography and many different cultures. That design features a bowl carved of pipestone, which is whatver locally available mineral is attractively marbled and easily carved, and that bowl features a protrusion at the end of the pipe, giving the whole carved piece the shape of a T (a short, upside-down T). That takes 2 objects, plus another for the stem, as seen here. A ceremonial version, that is a peace pipe, would have exxaggerated features like a long stem and decoration like feathers and beads; you can see one depicted on the state flag of Oklahoma. Alas that'd take 4 object slots; here's the best I can do.

Injun.pngI didn't actually check which tribes that made beaded moccasins in a certain pattern also used blue pipestone; there ws trade after all.
 
Fantastic art, so autenthic with the background history, and so well executed...i am truly impressed you pulled that one off so cleverly, especially the top part by merging the two horns.
Challenge passed !
