hey! i had a question, how do you make your gifs/edits ? love ur blog, thank you !!

ahhh thank u !!!! this is probably not what you asked for but i over explain a lot AHJSJDHD so i kinda made this very long rip

ok so for my edits i usually do it on my phone 🤡🤡 i would use picsart, polarr and phonto. sometimes i’d go into photoshop and add some finishing touches but usually not ahakkaks

i’ll be using this as an example because it has pretty much everything i use !!

finding photos

so. first you’re gonna find some screencaps !! sometimes i’ll go and take them myself if there’s not the specific one i want but usually i go here / here / here. i personally like better the first one because they’re more hd but the last two are good for shows/new stuff

here’s the link to tfatws screencaps. i click on ep. 1 and i chose this bad boi (but you can choose whatever you want !! i’m just using It example to guide y’all ahajsj)

cropping

this can be done in any app lmao but i go in picsart because it’s easier for me. the dimensions are 1920 x 805 but you can crop it however!! here’s a step by step if you’re unfamiliar with picsart

effects!!!

here’s the fun part. you can really do whatever you want a few of my favourites are: b/w contrast, noise, motion blur, radial blur, colour pop and more !!! here’s a step by step on what i did

text

i personally love this part. i use phonto because it’s easiest for me !! the fonts i used are poppins and prima demo. here is how to download fonts to phonto and here is how i did the text

now for gifs !!! im still very new to photoshop and trying to get the hang of it but here is my process !! i'll be using my header gif as an example:

getting the scenes

there are a few ways to get the scenes you want, i personally screen record (🤡🤡) which is kind of why my gifs are a bit low quality. you could download movies/tv shows and screencap (which is how most gifmakers would do it) but this way works for me so its what i stick with !! here is a good tutoral using screencaps.

photoshop

so yes photoshop my biggest friend but also my biggest enemy. this shit is very complex at first but from looking at tutorials on tumblr and youtube ive managed to figure it out here / here / here / here are some good ones !!! (note: the last link is more for photoshop in general and not really gifing ahakjsjdjd its long but super helpful!!)

bringing in the video

just go file -> open and click the video you want !!

cropping

im gonna crop it to tumblr header dimensions which are: 3000 px x 1055 px and you get this:

now im gonna resize it to 540 x 190. go image -> image size

make sure it’s on pixels !! make the width 540 (the height should automatically change with it but if not make it 190)

colouring

here’s how did it !!

sharpening

this is very much influenced from this tutorial. making an action for this part is very handy because you’ll do this every time. click here

saving/exporting

the final part !! go file -> export -> save for web (legacy) this will take a minute

here are my settings. i still don’t exactly *get* the save for web options lmao i use what’s recommended but feel free to fiddle with them !! here is a good tutorial explaining the options.

that’s all !!!! ik this was long and a bit confusing so feel free to ask me anything you’re not clear with !!

Heeey, first of all I wanna say I absolutely adore your mods. (Johnny in a black shirt is killing me, thank you so much TwT) You kinda inspired me to start modding myself, and I'm slowly starting to get the hang of it. Now, my question is: How do you change the clothing of an NPC? I know how to do it on V, but I couldn't figure out how to do it on an NPC. Lots of love :>

Luv i think you and i need to talk because Ive figured out how to do it to NPCs but not to V asksdkafksafkaskfas EDIT BECAUSE IM A DUMMY: NOT BLENDER, THATS TO EDIT MESHES, I MEANT NOEISIS ASKSKDKSK So basically, how you would do it (hoo boi its been a hot minute since i messed with the swaps because ive been busy) is its a lot of copy pasting. Ill use my Johnny T-shirt mod as an example. (If you want, using the CP77 tools, you can unbundle my mod and see its base file structure, which is useful as well!) Step 1: as usual, make sure you’ve got the gamedata, nightcity and appearance.archive files unbundled. Youll want to uncook the basegame_4_gamedata.archive to access the uncooked meshes if you want to view them in Noeisis (I do not remember the exact command for this, if someone can comment what that command is, I would appreciate it!) Step 2: Once you’ve got the uncooked meshes and Blender installed (updated plugins can be found on the Cyberpunk 2077 modding discord), open up blender and access the meshes. Step 3: Set up a mod folder. For Johnny, since he is a main npc, our file structure would go like this; Johnny tshirt mod base Make two folders inside base: characters and cookedappearance. Make both of these files, but ignore cooked appearance for right now. We will return to that. Go into characters now and make main_npc and finally, inside main_npc make one more folder silverhand So now it should look like this; Johnny tshirt mod base characters/cookedappearance inside characters: main_npc silverhand This is where you will put the black t-shirt mesh. Step 4: Using blender, find the t-shirt you wanna put him in. I believe the one i used is called Casual T-shirt under garments in the characters folder of the basegame_4_gamedata Tip: make sure it says ma, not wa (as this is womens and will come with feminine body mesh that distorts Johnny’s model) and not mab either as this is for bigger models like Jackie and River which wont look right on the smaller models like Johnny or Vik for example Grab the tshirt mesh (Noeisis has an option to open the mesh’s file location) and copy/paste it into your Johnny-shirt mod folder you created. Step 5: Now you want the name of Johnny’s mesh model you’re replacing with the t-shirt. Navigate to his file (it will follow the structure above as we have mirrored it in our mod) so basegame_4_gamedata base characters main_npc silverhand here are all his meshes! He has many. Tip 2: Don’t replace his tank top! :D I dont know why, but his tank top despises being replaced, at least for me, play with it of course if you want, perhaps youll get it to work, but nothing would replace that mesh for me and i believe its because its tied to something else that is overriding any changes i attempt. Step 6: Grab his vest mesh. the name for his vest mesh is t2_001_ma_vest__silverhand.mesh All you need is to copy the name of his mesh, we don’t need the file. I personally copy and paste his file into my mod folder for copy/paste ease to ensure there is no user error on my part with the file names. Now you should have the t-shirt mesh file in your mod folder and the name of his vest mesh copied. Step 7: All you gotta do now is rename the T-shirt mesh to his Vest name so for example (because i do not know the name of the mesh currently) tshirt_casual.mesh gets renamed to t2_001_ma_vest_silverhand.mesh Its basically like model swapping but just with a lil more copy pasting. I do know you can edit meshes using blender/photoshop but that is beyond my technical skills at this time. Step 8: The cookedappearances files. This can be a bit of a bitch. Youll want to open the silverhand.app file in a hex editor (the silverhand.app file and all cookedapp files are found in your basegame.appearance file that you unbundled) I use HxD as its free Youll want to scroll until you find a collection of random numbers and letters. This is Johnny’s character id. For simplicity’s sake, his character id is c8747fbbb83bb28d Search in your basegame.appearance file for that id above and you should find six cookedapp files. You only need the names. You’ll need an empty cookedapp file (one can be found on the Cyberpunk 2077 modding discord, either ask or just search through the channel) now you just put this empty cookedapp file in your cooked appearance folder within your mod six times and rename them to the names of Johnny’s cookedapp files you found. So, for example, you take the empty cookedapp file, throw it into your mod folder’s cookedappearance folder, and rename it to ”character_c8747fbbb83bb28d__q101_bomb_bag” paste the empty cookedapp file again, now name this one ”character_c8747fbbb83bb28d_clean_2020” continue doing that until you’ve got all six of his cookedapp files replaced with empty ones. By the end you should have bomb bag clean 2020 riot no spikes Wounded wounded bandaged and common character Now that that’s done, you should be good to go! Tip 3: A good rule of thumb to remember since it can get twisted easily (at least it did for me) You're always going to be nabbing a mesh you want and renaming it to the mesh you’re replacing, very similarly to how model swapping works. Pack the mod, throw it into a clean save, and Johnny’s vest should now be replaced! If nothing shows up in game, ensure you’ve got all six cookedapp files replaced. These cookedapp files replace mesh data and can and will overwrite mesh replacers youre trying to make. Some meshes just do not like to be replaced, some others do not like to be used to replace something else, at least in my experience. I hope that made sense, im very sleep deprived right now, and ive been meaning to make a write-up but if you have any other questions/need clarification, help, whatever, feel free to send me another ask or hell, just DM me and Ill help how I can! <3 (might edit this later when I have more time to add screenshots of the process because im personally a visual learner asdkasdkaksd <3) (also if any modders who do/have done this see it and would like to add/clarify/or correct me on anything i might’ve missed/gotten wrong, please do!! Im fairly certain i covered everything but errors happen dkakda) anyways i love you, im proud of you for picking up modding, it is by no means easy or quick to do so i applaud your continuous efforts! You’re doing amazing! <3

Everything We Had

thought id put something on this empty blog and see if i can find something to talk about. ive done a few shitty streams on my twitch channel ( https://www.twitch.tv/vape__dad ) in which i talked a little bit about how i made some songs and how i made a music video but i havent yet talked about my cover art at all nor have i uploaded them in high resolution anywhere.

in june 2018 i met up with a friend to take some photos to possibly use as art for my music. i try to do as much as i can myself but all i had at the time to take pictures with was this shitty old nokia phone and, while i had used it to take the photos used for earlier projects, i wanted the visual quality to improve alongside the quality of my music. so we walked around and i was pointing out things that i thought would be cool to take photos of and giving some feedback on stuff like angle and framing, we did this for a few hours and took about 240 photos, i had a lot of fun and it was nice to be out in the sun for once.

the first image is the raw photo. we saw this little spot that was mostly secluded by fences and flora so there were a few little puddles of sunlight on the ground, one of them had this little red flower sitting in it so we’re like “ooh thats pretty *snap*”.

the second to fourth images are the other photos from that day of this specific object which i also considered using.

the fifth image is the art for the song. so i had made this song in march 2019 and i was like ok cool, what the heck am i gonna use for the track art, so i looked through all the possibilites i had on my hard drive and saw this photo and was like “perfect!”. i brought the image into photoshop and began working on it. ive used adobe photoshop cs2 since my early teens but havent really ever pushed my skills in it, barely looked anything up and figured out how to do a few things by just trying stuff out. my skillset with it is basic but its enough to get the results i want. anyway, i spent probably too long, not that it mattered since i had no deadline, cropping the image to have a 1:1 aspect ratio and carefully making sure i had exactly what i wanted exactly where i wanted. i then duplicated the base layer and added some chromatic aberration, the image immediately looked warmer because of all the shifted red but it didnt look like you needed to be wearing those old school 3D glasses or anything, it was a nice subtle touch. even though its like something thats “wrong” i think it can look nice, Grand Theft Auto V on PC is a visually beautiful game which has chromatic aberration that is noticable around the edges of the screen but it isnt intrusive and it doesnt result in an unsightly blurriness. the next layer i added was a -8 ° hue shift with 75% opacity. now the reds on the flowers were more red and less orange, and the yellow leaves became more orange, of course everything in the image had been changed but these were the most noticable differences. next layer was +25% color saturation at 43% opacity, the reds popped more and overall the image was less dull. next layer was selective color, which allows you to adjust cyan/red, magenta/green, yellow/blue, and black/white levels within indivudual color ranges. i was trying to make this look pleasant and dope rather than realistic or how a human eye would percieve it, so i went adjusting everything to be just how i wanted it and when i was done it no longer looked liked it was the middle of a summers day but more like an autumn sunset with orange leaves scattered on the ground and warm feel to the whole image. i really liked how it was looking but i still wanted to change a bit more, while i wanted the flower and spot of sunlight to be the main focus of the image i thought the contrast between that area and the shadowed parts was too high and that some detail was kinda getting lost. so what i did next was i merged the layers i had so far and just generated fake film grain which gave it some texture and brightened the image up but it looked a bit too like sharp and crispy so i resized the image to probably like 50% or something then sized it back up to the original size which made it blur together which gave it a kinda retro-aesthetic too. very simple thing but it really changed a lot, and i love how the final image turned out. judging by the date created/modified timestamps in the metadata of the PSD it took me about one and a half hours to edit the photo.

high resolution: https://imgur.com/a/004CtlA

i hate sounding like a pretentious wank but i dont wanna say what i think the art represents or how it links to the song because id like to not influence anyones interpretation.

Just need to vent...

This year is really rough man...

Things feel like a mess lately; I guess that’s like “normal” now but I’m feeling it more and more lately...

I don’t think I’ve ever been so stressed and frustrated in my life when it comes to money. Before COVID happened, I was just getting back from sick leave and was working only a few hours a week to get me back on track. Like my Dr and I agreed it would be best if I asked to be accommodated with a reduced schedule and progressively work my way up again. Anyway because of that I wasn’t making much money but I had a bit of EI from my sick leave to help ( not much but better than nothing ).

When things were finally starting to get “back to normal” for me at work and I felt like I could finally get my finances back on track in time for my big move, well quarantine hit. My work closed down ( and is still closed indefinitely ) and because I’m high risk, I chose not to work at other stores in the meantime. I was still getting a bit of EI by then and felt I should be more or less ok to survive a few months on reduced income. I wasn’t eligible for CERB because of my existing EI claim from my sick leave so that 2k a month wouldve been nice but I was really getting more like 700$ a month. Shitty but manageable.

Anyway, because my work decided they’d be paying everyone who stayed home a small portion of our regular wages; that messed stuff up with my EI claim. So because I get 60$ a week from my work, the EI agents have to get more information from my work and decide whether that money should count as income or not. Ok I guess whatever that makes sense.

Wellp, because my work has been closed the past few months and my boss is helping out at other stores and being stretched thin, the EI folk havent been able to move my claim along at all. So I haven’t received any kind of money since late May now. I had some savings and money saved up mostly for school but that’s dried up pretty quick because I have to pay for my rent and groceries...

So school is starting soon and I was really hoping that my student loans and possibly bursaries would help me stay afloat but just my luck that’s also being messed up. Because Quebec is ridiculous and somehow expect my parents to still pay for my studies even though I’m 26, they have to check their income to assess how much loans am I entitled to. Both my parents just retired so their income isn’t regular anymore and I need to send so much proof on their behalf ( because my mother is lazy ) to the student loan folks to show that they aren’t making a ton of money like they used to.

As of right now, their assessment still calculates my parents old income so my student loan is only 1500$ for this term which is awful. My tuition alone costs 2200$, nevermind paying for all my school material and life expenses! I was already in the negatives because I haven’t been able to work or receive money all summer so that didn’t help.

I’d probably have a decent ish loan and possibly bursary if they assessed my parents current income but for that I need my mom to just send me a goddamn paystub copy so I can show the student loan folks but somehow thats “super complicated”. Ive had to ask my little sister to dig through a bunch of papers and mail at my parents house to try and find -anything- that might be helpful. Shes busy too though and kinda forgetful so I’m probably going to wait a long time for those papers IF she finds any.

Anyway, the cherry on top of all of this is that I had a school meeting today that was super last minute and ridiculous. I’d asked my teachers about how zbrush, photoshop and such licenses would work for us since well be working from home and they told me they’d let us know ASAP... WELL they just told us today that the school will finally pay for a year of each software for each student. thank freaking god right? But nahhh, turns out they only got Microsoft licenses :))))) . I remember asking way back in first term if it was ok for me to do the whole program with my mac and they said itd be no problem. I’ve used my mac almost every day at school and -now- it’s a problem. So now with less than a week until school starts, I have to figure out wtf I’m going to do about that. I either gotta buy a freaking PC that can run 3D, buy my own licenses for my mac or buy an SSD and windows license to partition my mac but any of those options is still expensive and taking money that I just do not have :)))

I swear to god this year just wants to beat me into the ground. I feel like at this rate ill have no choice but to risk my health/life if I want to get money to pay my bills...

HI CRUSH ANON HERE AND I WANT TO START OFF BY SAYING TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT FEEL EMOTIONALLY INVESTED IN MY LOVE LIFE I LOVE YALL HAHHAHHA I DIDNT EXPECT FOR ANY OF THIS TO HAPPEN :'))))) at the same time tho i feel like things might have to be put on hold for a while i dont know !!!! ok sorry sorry ill explain so ,, ive figured out that im like really really into this boy. in a way thats probably not the best for me right now, esp bc ive got a lot of things to juggle right now (1/17)

but also bc ive been thinking and like ,, ok so this story might put things more into perspective. so its like monday and i get a text from him thats just like ‘hey what are the rest of your classes for today/do you have like 15 min or something to be in a shoot of mine before it gets dark’ and im like PANICKIN bc ofc hes asked some of us to be models for his photography hw before and its always super casual BUT this is the first time that IVE ever been asked specifically (2/17)

and so obviously i jump at this offer and im like ‘umm i dont have any more classes today so sure just lmk when and what to do :) also whats the shoot about?’ and hes like ‘ok cool we can meet at your room at like 5:15 and ill tell you about the shoot when we meet up :)’ and he wanted us to go to this reaaaaally pretty park at sunset and do the shoot around that time and i was like ‘ok do u want me to wear anything specific’ and he was like ‘nothing in particular :)’ (3/17)

and so i start getting ready and im nervous af bc it meant spending more time alone with him and i felt so unprepared for that LMAO but yeah so he comes up to our room and i open the door and my heart skips a fucking BEAT and i almost slam the door in his face but i force myself not to aha and so we go and hes like ‘ugh im so tired i want coffee lets get coffee’ and so we went into the starbucks around the corner but then i was like yo will we make it to the park in time (4/17)

and hes like ‘o shit yeah’ so we leave without getting coffee rip but yeah we go to the city park and oh my gskldgskd it is so fucking pretty its right before sunset so everything is golden and the sky is rainbow but you can already see the moon and holy one of the prettiest views i think i have EVER seen !!!!! and then he explains to me what the project is finally and hes like so its an experimental photo set thats supposed to represent all the things we left behind in modern society (5/17)

and so for me he said he wanted me to pose in the city park at sunset sitting on a bench with my hands cupped like i was holding a heart (hes going to photoshop the heart in later when hes editing the pics) and then like leave it behind on the bench and look at the sunset behind me which is supposed to represent and i quote “leaving love behind in the pursuit of beauty” and i literally was like 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 the whole time LMAOOOOOOO (6/17)

but yeah so we did that in like 15 min but after we were done i legit didnt want to leave bc (i wanted to spend more time with him but also) IT WAS SO FUCKING PRETTY SKDHJDFH and ahhhh i like looked over at him and he looked sooo at peace just like looking out over the water and the sunset and the scenery was so beautiful i almost blurted out hi i think ur beautiful but i stopped myself in the nick of time thank god LOOOOOL (7/17)

but he like made eye contact with me and i like held myself together but there was a moment where i felt like djdhskjdkd idk how to describe it i was kfskshdhdjdh idk it could be just my imagination but I FELT LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE AHHHHHHHH and i was so tempted to ask him about the hand holding on saturday but i didnt i held myself back again thank god lol and then all of a sudden he goes ‘hey do u want pics’ and im like wot (8/17)

and hes like ‘do u want some pics of urself? like we r already here so !! plus i want some photos to put on my photography insta’ and i was like sljkddjkd ok why the hell not so he directs me into different poses and stuff like that and after the sun sets we finish and then we r walking back bored af so we start wandering around the little shops nearby and then we finally get home and then our friend texts the group chat like ‘hey anyone want dinner now’ (9/17)

and we were already really close to a dining hall so the two of us went and got dinner and our friend just joined us later and then during dinner when it was just the two of us we started talking about me losing the bet of when our friends were gonna hook up and so i have to treat him to japanese bbq and we were talking about when and hes like ‘well theres nothing im gonna celebrate for a while except my best friend from home is coming bc her sisters getting married here” (10/17)

and i was like ‘omg thats great ??? congrats to her !!!! omg’ but idk this is where it gets kind of confusing bc idk we were talking about maybe going this weekend but his best friend was coming and he was planning on spending all his time with her but i think he said that we could go get japanese bbq with her too ?? and i think i said ok but i dont think we locked down any like specific date and time at all ??? this part is a lil confusing to me (11/17)

so anyways that happened and i havent really interacted with him after that whole thing like we still have a streak on snapchat lol but he will do this thing where he wont open or respond to my snapchats for like literal hours ,,, even though i know hes ON snapchat bc he will like watch my stories ??? like w o t ???? i dont think hes doing it on purpose if that makes sense ?? but its still annoying and borderline infuriating and sldkghsldkgh (12/17)

and also like ok ,, his best friend came like yesterday and i saw her on his snapchat story and h o l y g o d she is the most beautiful girl on all of fucking planet earth i shit u not like i actually !!!! screamed when i saw her shes so fucking gorgeous and on his story theres a bunch of snaps of the wedding etc and a pic of him and her in a photobooth and sldkgsldkghs holy ???? i dont know how to put this into words but they are p e r f e c t for each other (13/17)

like in every way possible they are literally best friends and shes an actual goddess and together they look sooooo aesthetically pleasing it is legitimately intimidating and ahhh sldkgldgkh so the thing is !!!!! i already have practically no self esteem left ,, and a dinner with like HER and THEM will probably d e s t r o y m e from the inside out i will literally just feel inferior in every single way possible and i have NO IDEA HOW TO EXPLAIN THIS UGH !!!!!! (14/17)

but yeah that kinda just made me realize that i might need to take a couple steps back ??? from this entire thing and him in general ,, and also that before anything happens i really want to work on me first like obv x has got his shit together and theres that whole thing with his best friend and idk !!! i like have pledged to go to the gym way more and get my fucked up sleep schedule back to some resemblance of normal and f o c u s on my academics and skincare and eating more healthy !! (15/17)

like i wanna be a person that everyone can look at and be like yes !! u go girl shes got her shit together and yeah !!!! aha :’) and also i need to COOL IT with my feelings about x like as amazing as he is and as fun as it is to spend time with him and as much as i want to pursue everything about this relationship i dont think im in a place mentally and emotionally where i can handle that so !!!!!! for now im gonna (try to) just distance myself a lil (16/17)

and yeah !! if he asks to go out for japanese bbq tonight/tomorrow i think im just gonna be like ‘ahh i wish i could but im super swamped with work rn sorry :(((‘ (which is 100000% true) and just leave it at that *deep sigh* anyways thats where i am at this point thanks for tuning in yall aha :’) i just need to not be hurt in this relationship and distancing myself for now is the only way i know how to prevent that ,, and i probably wont be that successful but !!! heres to trying :) (17/17)

awwwwwwwww crush anon BUT THE SUNSET DATE (yes im calling it a date) does his best friend go to the same college as you guys?? bc if he’s single and she doesn’t live anywhere near him there probably really isn’t anything between them that you need to worry about. I def support the focusing on yourself bc the more confidence you have in yourself the less insecure you will be once you actually get into a relationship so go you!! my gf and i are actually starting to facetime each other and work out together too so all of us can struggle in that tryin to be healthier lyfe! i think in one of the other asks you mention more happened? but i also think that maybe a bbq date with him wouldn’t be bad? and i think you should try to have it with just him and no one else! idk fill me in on any new developments :0
