ebbiibbe: lol yes he said he had the perfect business plan for these little collectable things but it required correct alpha masking
Trompe Loeil

Trompe Loeil

Voshie
>.> does this mean no more alpha conflicts?!
Trompe Loeil
Voshie
: the materials viewer has two alpha options, if you have an alpha with no partial transparency then you can choose the setting for that style and those don't alpha flicker
Trompe Loeil
anything with partial trans like a gradient etc go under the other setting and those still flicker unfortunately
Voshie
ah so existing ones will still have the flicker. well that's poo 
but good that there's at least one that won't flicker
but good that there's at least one that won't flicker

Why was pandastrong so well known?
Trompe Loeil
Nylon Pinkney
: because there were only like 5 thousand people on at any given time
Trompe Loeil
and he was smart and sarcastic
Trompe Loeil
i think he was part of the original forums crowd, i remember him talking smack with me and belaya
Polyester P
R.I.P Pandastrong, wherever you are
Trompe Loeil

Polyester P

Trompe Loeil

Polyester P

Trompe Loeil

Nylon Pinkney

Trompe Loeil

Trompe Loeil

Fate
I feel bad that I don't remember this person..
Trompe Loeil
he wasn't a creator or anything, he just kind of hung out on the forums
Trompe Loeil
i think i met him through eboni
Fate
Ah, I've never really been one for forums much :-/
Trompe Loeil
this was the first forums incarnation before they revamped them, with the blue background i think
Trompe Loeil
after that they got lame and everyone moved to SLU
