CLO 3D and Unity 3D

Posted on March 25, 2020 by admin

I wonder if this is possible… I quickly googled it and found sine promising results:

vis this discussion:
“You can bring in any rigged & animated FBX file as an Avatar. Then drape & fit the garment to your Avatar. Use Animation Mode to record the garments animation. Then you can export the cloth mesh as FBX or Alembic and import it into Unity. Please let me know if you run into issues!”

“If you learn visually go to YouTube and search for Marvelous Designer to Unity3D there are many videos that show the process and how to prepare your Clo/MD data for export using Alembic to import into Unity.”

I also found out that CLO 3D works well with adobe’s Mixamo (Thanks to the hint in Soojin Kang’s job talk), now that is a game-changer:

EN Arknight mod

Posted on March 23, 2020March 23, 2020 by admin

https://blackmod.net/threads/17895/
There are two files to download, one is the signed APK and the other is an OBB file. After download, put the signed APK in the download folder and the OBB file in the Android/obb folder on my phone.

I upgraded my account on blackmod.net to a VIP one so I can have all 12 mod options at once. I put the license.pm file in the download folder as well. I then deleted the original game and the Facebook app. It is important to uninstall the Facebook app, otherwise, the game will try to sign into my account through the Facebook app which throughs an error.

Open the game the first time and found a newly created folder named PLATINMODS.COM. The ON/OFF editable text file is in this folder. It really works!

D12 Virusbots Invasion

Posted on March 19, 2020March 21, 2020 by admin

Every year, our freshly graduated students experience difficulties in detaching themselves both emotionally and physically from D12 – the open working space for Design and Technology students at Parsons School of Design. Most of them had spent more time on D12 than in their apartment over their two years with us. This year, students are sent home a bit earlier due to the COVIN-19 outbreak and D12 is definitely missed.

I was looking at the Customizable Boss mod for the FPS Microgame from Unity 3D, it looks like a really fun addon to the FPC Microgame. I decided to build a D12 level in the FPS microgame with evil robots that stole our identities because we weren’t there.

VRoid 02

Posted on March 9, 2020March 29, 2020 by admin

I imported the VRoid model I created into Unity using UniVRM: https://github.com/dwango/UniVRM/releases

I went through the following steps:

  1. After importing the UniVRM.unitypackage, create an empty folder and drag Necro Jin’s VRM file into it. A prefab will be automatically generated.
  2. Drag the prefab to the scene and delete every in the inspector window except the transform and animator controller window. Also, delete a child GameObject named “secondary”. It looks like image-1 with all the unwanted stuff deleted.
  3. Create a new Animator Controller and add a Mecanim ready animation into the controller as the default animation.
  4. Drag the controller to Jin in the scene.
  5. Press Play.

Necromancer – Jin

I posted an animated gif a while ago of someone designing the hairstyle of a digital avarta by just drawing volumetric strokes of hairs with a stylus. It turned out to be a fature in VRoid Studio – a deigital avarta creator.

Inspired by Chinese zombies and their tranditional costume, I created a Necromancer called Jim. While playing with the hair editor, I thought of Jotaro in Jojo a bizarre journey and his lengendry hat hair where his hair seamlessly blend into his hat in both drawing and animation. I decide to use the flexible editor to create Jim’s hair in the shape of a Qing Dinesty Court Hat which is offten associated with Chinese zombie custome.

My only complain is that I can’t make a big person out of this tool. Very limited in body types, probably not going to fly in America. Information found during the making of Necro Jin.

Arduino + TENS unit

Posted on February 22, 2020 by admin

About 10 years ago, Zach Lieberman invited Daito Manabe to give a casual presentation at the Design and Technology program at Parsons School of Design. Right outside of room 1005, there was an open space in between workstations, he demoed a version of this piece, it was pretty cool.

8 years later, influencers made a couple of episodes explaining the magic behind the shock. I didn’t remember how Daito Manabe did it, I was young and careless. However, the setup in the how-to video below is simple and easy to build/hack.

Voice Memory

Posted on January 5, 2020January 5, 2020 by admin

Digital cameras became more available when I was 20 years old, but the quality was very low. Smartphone didn’t exist for another 10 years or so. For someone who tried to document all moments in life, I had to carry 4 or 5 different cameras with me including a digital camera, a film camera, a polaroid, and a selection of speciality cameras.

There was a reason that I tried so hard to keep a trace of fun times. When I was in high school, a devastating flood hit our neighbourhood. Our house is one of the closest to the river bed so the first floor was submerged in the water in a matter of hours. It wasn’t the first time a flood had come to our house, so my brother and I started the preparation soon after we saw the water level rising. One of the main tasks is to move stuff up to the dry floors, and I usually started with stuff on the floor or in the bottom shelves.

As usual, we did everything we can to empty the first floor and the water was about 3/4 up the stairs from the first floor. Because it is mud water, we can’t see what’s under the water even with our military-grade flashlights. We were checking for the last time before we called it a day. This was when I notice a few old photo albums on top of a shelf just around the corner of the stairs. I couldn’t reach it by just standing on the stairs, I had to swim a little forward and around. I decided to go for it, my brother held the light up and I jumped into the mud water with my safety boots, swam over, grab the leather bond albums, froggy style back with hands in the air, and a piece of family history is saved.

The photo albums we saved contains pictures of my parents when they were in their early twenties. We were in shock because none of the pictures fit into the images we had for our parents. We realized they were young as fuck once. Sometimes, my parents would tell us crazy stories but we didn’t believe they were true and now we are looking at the photo evidence of their fashionable past. I thought, one day, my offsprings might recognize me like how I recognized my father – a middle-aged over-weight businessman who doesn’t seem to know what fun is for his entire life. This very thought had inspired me to take as many pictures as possible.
