HM3: A pattern is emerging …

Posted on March 15, 2009 by | Comments Off on HM3: A pattern is emerging …

The HM3 Alpha applet has been updated again. The pattern buttons now work, and the problem where you couldn't manually drag items more than halfway to the left and down has been fixed.

You might need to hit REFRESH in your browser to reload the most current version of the applet if you've been there recently.

Edited To Add: Also, I added a "LegwearMaleBriefs" set of starter items so your guys don't have to be nekkid so much. More of those to come, obviously.

HM3: Patterns

Posted on March 15, 2009 by | Comments Off on HM3: Patterns

I'd like to have a LOT more patterns in HeroMachine 3 than the minis had, to the point that you'll have a set of basic clothing options in the various slots that you can then turn into chainmail or full of lightning or Scottish tartan or whatever. Here's the list I have so far, let me know any additions or deletions you might have:

  • zebra
  • leopard
  • cheetah
  • tiger stripe
  • fur
  • leather
  • stone
  • metallic
  • cement
  • rusted/dirty
  • hexes
  • scales
  • rivets
  • camo
  • fishnet
  • banded armor
  • cracked earth
  • chainmail
  • stripes - horizontal
  • stripes - vertical
  • circuits
  • stars
  • checkerboard
  • webs
  • bark/wood
  • crystalline/icy
  • flames
  • lightning
  • reptile skin (gradient filled tight circles)
  • paisleys
  • smoke
  • tartan

Posted on March 14, 2009 by | Comments Off on HM3: Alpha JPG tweak

Just a quickie update, the HM3 Alpha "Save as JPG" feature now saves the figure and not just its left leg. Oops.

HM3: Alpha update

Posted on March 14, 2009 by | Comments Off on HM3: Alpha update

I've updated the HeroMachine 3 Alpha with the following changes:

  • Masking now works. More on that below.
  • Flipping items now works (though if you then scale it, it will flip back, a bug I hope to fix soon).
  • Paintbrush feature now works (applies the current color scheme to whatever you click on).
  • Color Hair now works (click it applies the current hair item's color scheme to all "hair" type items).

More on all of this after the jump.

Contest 48 Prize: March Madness

Posted on March 14, 2009 by | Comments Off on Contest 48 Prize: March Madness

Runt82 and I have finished his prize for winning Caption Contest 48:

Apparently there is some sort of impending athletic competition coming up and some folks like Mark Shute and Runt82 have strong feelings on the matter. Not that these figures are in any way representative of popular, and copyrighted, college mascots or anything. No sir.

Thanks to Runt82 for working with me on this one, it was fun!
