The last of the tails! Got a good coverage now and release is getting closer! On to other things.

Some thoughts about Build-a-Bot on a topic I know little about.
I've had some thoughts that I might not be doing enough to make a variety of options for both ends of the gender spectrum. I try to make a variety of forms and silhouettes, but my style is inherantly boxy and stocky. So it does tend to come off as masculine, even if I don't intend it or intend it to be feminine (even though every model will have an unbelievably snatched waist, literally just the spine down there). On top of that, I do know there is sizable interest in robots that are explicitly not very human, and robots that are very human. There's not really a clear solution, not that I see. It seems to be more of a "wait and see what people want" sort of deal.

Here's some of different bodies you can get with the advanced proportions!

All of the customizable parts are adjusted for the changes to the base body, but you can still mess with them further!

I've been busy over holiday break!

I've reworked the page navigation with a drop down menu, so you can skip around to different parts easily.

Also, I've added an alternate, more advanced proportion control system. So you can modify limb thickness, length, and other stature parts independently!

The top section has a switch, currently set to ADVANCED and below it is a box with many different sliders with labels for different parts of the body (hip, leg, arm, etc) and controls for thickness and length.

Okay, I've basically finished converting the method used for adjusting parts. From the UI sliders seen on the arms, to the gnomen seen on the chest here.

This frees up the screen, allows parts to be moved individually, allows rotation, and eliminated useless bones after export.

Got the rest of them in. Always open for more ideas, I'm short a few variants since everything is in multiples of three.
A screenshot of a blue themed character creator showing nine items labeled "Head Decor" The items are: a pair of TV antennae, a heart ahoge looking like a TV antenna, a large set of antlers, a small set of antlers, a set of ears in the shape of door handles, three sets of long "rabbit" like robot ears, and a set of fins.

A quick scroll through the current head options available! That's all of the head shapes and about 1/3 of the decor options. I still have to put in the horns, fins, and other stuff!

Made some more heads for Build-a-Bot. Got 5 new ones right now. Getting pretty burnt out on working on it right now. Might take a break for a little bit and entertain other ideas.

Some more.

I'm really happy with the fins and the heart ahoge/antennae. Though I might work on the antlers more, it looked better in my head. And it just doesn't work with that head shape either...

Didn't get as much done as I would have liked, but I think these fins turned out pretty great.

(The glowy webbing will be translucent on actual models)

I made a little attribution thingy for the decals! I'm gonna hunt for some more tomorrow and finish updating the decal controls.

This should make it a lot cleaner to credit the sources and provide placed for you to look for custom decals, should you want! You can upload custom ones to Build-a-Bot!

I got the decorations implemented rather smoothly. As well as a dupe and mirror option. Scale, position, and rotation controls, as well as optional increments.

Now I just gotta remaining 48 decoration objects in and redo the decals to be smoother, like this. Now I just gotta redo the decals...

There's a few examples of what you can do in the zip file you get with the thing itself. Here's one for a twitch redeem.

The critical part is that Set Text Parameter node, that's what sets the actual text. <message> is a variable that is the unfiltered contents of the message sent with the redeem.
A snippet from VNyan's node graph system, showing a set of 6 nodes. The nodes connect to a twitch channel point redeem, which enables a timer and a sticky note prop, which has a text parameter that is also set. The timer expired and turns the prop to hidden.

Working on the chests a bit more. The first one is supposed to be more trim and fem, while the second is really just out there. Hoping to make 3 more variants.

I have made a number of parts that are supposed to be feminine, though I'm wondering how clear that is to users who are looking at them.
A blender screenshot showing the chest of a grey and blue robot. A left-front angle shot showing a blue chest panel which is rounded and juts forward at the top, while becoming more trim and stopping near the midriff. This gives it a somewhat feminine shape A blender screenshot showing the chest of a grey and blue robot, with the same chest as the last screenshot. This one is a lower angle picture which shows under the chestplate, revealing a glowing blue sphere in a sci-fi, reactor-like core in the chest. A blender screenshot showing the chest of a grey and blue robot. The chestpiece has the same reactor-like interior as before. This chest piece has blue armor plates on the front, which have a viewport showing the reactor interior. Around each shoulder is a large blue ring, with flat sides like a finger band. A blender screenshot showing the chest of a grey and blue robot. This screenshot shows the front-right profile of the same chestpiece as the last image with large, round shoulders. The side profiles shows a viewport on the side of the chest, also showing the reactor core, which is lightly obstructed by a blue metal strut on the abdomen.

Getting a little more weird with the chest pieces I'm working on. The second one is going to have armor plates covering various places, so it has a hollow look.
A blender screenshot of a grey and blue robot with no head and a skinny figure. The chest is an open design with a glowing blue spherical core in the abdomen, with a lot of sci-fi glowing lines and cables emerging from it.

The chestpiece is equally skinny, being just a spinal column with a T shape connection on either side to connect the cylindrical shoulder joints.

I'm cooking, I'm snatching

(I'll also make a flatter, low-poly one that fits better with the less curved pieces)

I'm trying to do a snatched waist piece; Something that attaches to the spine and is fixed there to give a silhouette. It's turned out okay so far??? The image is sorta there.

IDK how to make anything curvy, robot or no.
