Donut

I'm trying to get a donut to appear on my demo. That is, just the donut, not being used as part of an emote. Anyone knows if there's any way to do this? I'm making a donut-themed demo (sample screenshot) and being able to actually show a donut in there without photoshopping one in would help.

I'm wondering about the one in Faultline - can you cut it off the buiding in Faultline? Or were you looking for the small ones, like the emote?

Small ones preferably. I'm specifically trying to make rain donuts.

Rain of Donuts!!!!

I totally want that power!

(with a respectful nod to Stan & Lou)

That's a new one by me... hmmmm... I wonder if you can use the Puddle NPC to do emotes and then you'd see a donut appearing in midair... then just make it move...

I'm afraid to speculate on Leandro's video now.

I was afraid to speculate on Leandro's video the minute I figured he was going to be entering this thing.

And Ashcraft's... and Neutra's... and Star_Dancer's...

I really need to figure out a way to bolster my ego in the face of other talented folks.

The Puddle NPC didn't work. Oh well.

Damn, now I want a Boston Creme donut. And a LARGE glass of milk. And I can't have either one for another three months.

Puddle didn't work, but what DID work was making a dummy costume -- all 27 lines being "PARTSNAME none none none". Here's an screenshot, though being static takes away a lot of the fun: http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g1.../donutrain.jpg

You know, I would so love it if one of the special events this year involved a snow storm of doughnuts.

Oh sweet! I'd tried to do the same thing before (meaning applying MOVs to Puddle, not anything specific to donuts), but had never thought of using a null costume. Well done, Leandro!

A new trick for the toolbox.

Of course, I had to go play with this right away (who needs sleep?).

Among other possibilities, you can scale up the invisible character's size to create giant-sized MOV-based objects. Here's a quick and dirty example: Giant Food.

Very good idea Leandro!

Hmmm.... might be interesting to have some of the aura effects but no other costume parts, too. A huge null person with flies aura....

Great googly moogly! Y'all are a clever bunch, no question.

And I love the fact that even though we're competing against each other, we're also helping each other out with these sorts of things. I guess that "hero" mentality rubs off on us?

(Still want that Rain of Donuts power...)
