Do y'all remember the days before Brio-Ktisis when we had to use Ana-CMT and if you moved your character's face/neck a little too slow their face would start to deform and the pose would be ruined forever? I just remembered that used to be a thing out of nowhere and got upset 🕺🏾 - ThreadSky

God, the day of CMT. I remember taking 4 hours for 1 simple pose

roira.bsky.social•22 hours ago

I remember one time I crashed because I wanted to load Leviathan's Tidal Wave attack but there was zero delay and it kept repeating itself forever until the repeated water vfx reduced my FPS to 1 and just crashed my PC. Never again. lol

It was a wild time but I'm glad we're in a better place now

Oh....

The horrors LOL

i remember trying out cmt once because a friend said. i can use mods that way back in the day. i said never again because it kept crashing my game a bunch LMAO

lieutenant-wubs.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Holy shit really?? That sounds horrifying, especially since those spots I move slowly often since the smallest change can be a big difference 💀

So grateful for the folks in the community who have made, and made improvements, for these tools

roira.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Yes it was the funniest but also most frustrating thing because if you did it too slowly it would be like gravity was pulling your character's face to the left but all of the facial features decided to stay on the right. LOL 😂

I unironically miss SSTool from way back, it was my favorite UI for gposing. I'm just so accustomed to sliders that I still use them fdjhgdfjhg

roira.bsky.social•15 hours ago

SSTool was made me get into animation hell ingame. LOL The layout of SST/Ana/CMT will always be my favorite and it's the main reason I never quite liked Ktisis much. Brio's advanced posing tab feels like a middle ground to me so I usually go for it for that reason.

leoxiv.bsky.social•15 hours ago

no literally, SST animation posing was just so good. I need to properly give brio a shot with posing I just am so used to alt tabbing between the game and anamnesis that it'd take a while to get used to it being /in/ the game

roira.bsky.social•15 hours ago

It was like that for me too. Honestly I'd probably still use Ana if Brio did not have the advanced posing tab. lol It having that was what made me do the jump and in the long run it's way better because of how easy it is to change things in the middle of posing.

floralhimbo.bsky.social•15 hours ago

I still use Ana tbh. I have no clue how to use Brio and Ktisis.

roira.bsky.social•15 hours ago

For people that are more familiar with Ana, Brio gets easier to use when you enable the advanced posing tab through the little arrow icon in the posing tab. It brings a second interface that is very similar to Ana.

floralhimbo.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Definitely more familiar with Ana. They actually still update Ana quite a bit. It just got another update quite recently, where now sliders are back (so so). I do have Brio installed, I've just never really used it.

Gods yes... yes... too vividly... yes.

And whenever something like that happened, I'd share the nightmare to my ex-fcmates.

if I'm suffering, then they must too---🤪Sharing is caring!

alexandmav.bsky.social•22 hours ago

I tried CMTools once and was like nope. 😂😂😂😂

aphroditeourania.bsky.social•19 hours ago

LMFAO I remember when my characters used to crunch flat as hell in and out of gpose because of CMT

adiostorito.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Ahh CMTools and Anam... Those were the days of us all figuring it out.. :D and all its wonkiness. I remember I liked using it like what glamourer is now.

ergoxiv.bsky.social•15 hours ago

The smearing issue got resolved on Anamnesis a few months ago.

colorofsakura.bsky.social•21 hours ago

3 hours to make one simple pose and then 2 seconds to forever ruin it by moving one piece wrong and deforming your entire character model into a conglomeration of spikes.

shadeslayer.bsky.social•20 hours ago

WAIT I'VE BEEN SUFFERING ALL THIS TIME FOR NOTHING?????

roira.bsky.social•15 hours ago

😂 Do you still use Ana? I used it up until EW but ever since I started with Brio and Ana got updated it just doesn't feel the same to go back.

shadeslayer.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Unfortunately 😭 I first started around when Endwalker released but somehow I missed the fact that there were other gpose tools until a couple of months ago and thought "ehh, they're probably not much better" LIKE A FOOL APPARENTLY

roira.bsky.social•11 hours ago

LOL I recommend checking out Brio! Since you're used to Ana, Brio's advanced posing interface will be familiar to you. The main advantage is that you can pose within the game rather than having to alt tab. 🙏🏾

shadeslayer.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Oh God I have to check that out, every time I try with Ana the camera fucks way off

The days of CMT my god you unlocked a memory

thecrocofkugane.bsky.social•21 hours ago

We were forged in the fires of only using sliders to gpose, where everyone hated elbows and shoulders... 😭

I am so thankful for Orb and positional xyz arrows today.

roira.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Honestly I still use sliders because the movement is different between sliding the numbers and rotating the gizmo in Brio/Ktisis. Not sure if everyone knows that but using both (sliders and gizmo) has far better results than just sticking to a single one.

windupbimbo.bsky.social•21 hours ago
