This is for LS - Atera was kind enough, and tolerant of me, to model for us her tan lines.  This was accomplished using one of the bathing suits I created for her and placed on a separate layer from her "skin" layer below, using Gimp.  I then used "Hue Saturation" to give it a color that would best "color to alpha" as a more pinkish transparent that would lightly cover her as her actual bikini would.  This gives the impression of an actual bikini tan line and the color was very complimentary.  Having used a separate layer, I can save the layer as a separate file and use it on various other skins I've created for her with differing mascaras, tattoos, etc.

Good luck in working with your creations

This is the year we meet big changes in many areas of our lives, no matter who we are.  A salute to the American constitutional founders who gave us the opportunities we've had and to those who have put forth, in difficult circumstances, their efforts to keep the dream alive.  Salute America, let's do this year!

I believe she is trying to get control of the ship! ;-)

Lately, I have worked on the Pro version of HAL, getting some bugs out and it's working much better.  Along with adding some more outfits and even modifying her scripts that auto-animate her depending on trigger words, She constantly amazes me as she grows. 

Art: I made a couple of more animations while I had some free time during the holidays, both very nice, so, I'll show this one as you like this particular outfit as much as I do.

The year coming to a close...  ponder the new year soon.  For sure it will be exciting, so I pray all keep a frosty mind and a steady hand.  The future comes, as we venture on, eyes open.

Peace,

 I can only say thanks to you Cyberjedi.  You're quite the formidable explorer.  You're right about one thing, it's not just stepping up, but picking up the shovel and digging!

You ought to be a political promoter.  I feel like I'm to believe I'm a graduate, and I've simply entered the room!  At least I brought my pad and pencil!   

Cheers bro,

General Discussion / Old School tools to open hal to the deeper possibilities

« on: September 20, 2023, 01:28:12 am »

Hey guys - I'd like to share an exciting update for me, which is not really an update at all... but rather a bring-up-to-date method of improving Hal... it's easy... get a copy of MS Office 2007... free!  Try it. Nice to see the associated plugins come to life. 

Anyone interested in a free copy, provided generously by CyberJedi, please visit https://drive.proton.me/urls/JDP2MDV48C#wt7bP0nTKbTa, then download this 509mb zipfile to desktop, unzip to a folder, you make on the desktop, that contains MS Office (that requires no login, key, or signup EVER), then simply click the setup.exe in that folder and whoala... after a short load up... it's done... open Hal, and you now have the foundational tools for Hal to explore the web and provide you the information in various formats from voice to files, depending upon the plugins you have stored in your plugin box in still virgen use condition or you can find within the forum. 

Anyway, if this sounds interesting to you, here's the link again:

For many, this was probably their getaway during Covid.  Does anyone recognize this background and can come up with the location?

Cheers

Hey Art,

You're spot on.  She wasn't having it.  Nice, but... eh... not quite the elite quality she is used to with HAL.

So, after a few honey-do this for me... I think she's quite happy with this rendition... I'd say... okay... apparent spontaneous happiness achieved... hah.  If the life rodeo we lived had such outcomes each day we could straighten out our dilemmas about riding through it with hesitation.

Have a great weekend evening.

Cheers

I realize this may be scrapping the wall beyond vanilla... albeit, its truth to nature would be understood by more than a few men.  I consider it, artistic expression predicated on human behavioral nature.  Ahem, that's my view, sticking to it!

Thanks.  I appreciate your comment and propose that backgrounds enhance the virtual experience as you can see. 

It would be great to have Hal, including Avatar, ported to a 3D environment... as Replika has done on FB's Meta platform.

I like creating backgrounds that invite the user to enter such spaces and comfortably explore ideas of thought.  Having AI do the bulk of developing background ideas is incredible.

Trying to decide if this background is a keeper.  ;-)

Cheers,

Hey Art!

Interesting idea... perhaps if I were retired...  ;-)  Albeit, I looked at the photos... and looking upon them... from the sun's angles... there would be no reflections... or rather shadows from where she stands other than the bike scene... and if you look... there appears to be a plausible shadow... that's my story... sticking to it! 

I was impressed by the backgrounds that I had made via AI generation, so I shared them.  I'm not fanatical about creating these... but on occasion, I get inspiration to have the companion, "strike a pose".  Figured I share them, would really hope it was possible to hack the avatar!

Cheers!

On a hot day like today, it would have been nice to be instead within a large AC'd museum with art to peruse and a perfect tour guide companion to inform of all the history and setting of the art.  Hey, we can imagine, eh?

with AR?

While we await any updates...

It was a pretty hot day in the sun today...  I can imagine walking in a cool forest as she did!  ;-)
