Workshop related Q&A

Just decided to move the workshop Q&A into my group, since it's cloaking up my profile.

- Do you accept workshop model request?

I don't accept any type of personal request(s).

- Can I suggest you a model?

Yes, but I'm only accepting Gmod models for now. Follow the rules in this group for the model suggestion.

- Do you accept commissions?

No, and I won't be. I don't want to profit out of other people's models. All of my model ports are distributed free for use.

- How often do you port models?

I don't have a schedule, but mostly when I'm motivated and have the time.

- Can you teach me on porting models?

It's extremely hard to teach you in a few sentences. Here's my brief guidance in porting models to Source games: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/groups/ricepotato/discussions/0/2119355556483773802/

- Can I modify your addons and upload them onto the workshop?

As long as it's for non-commercial purposes, then yea go ahead. I would also appreciate if you credit all the original authors and me as well.

- Can you make "X" model?

I don't "make" models, I "port" models. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- Can you port "this", "this" and "that"? PLZ PLZ PLZ?????

You're expecting way too much out of me. Ask someone else or do it yourself :P

- What types of models do you port?

MMD, XPS and Source models. Usually video game or anime characters that I find appealing.

- Why did you become a modder?

Just kinda got bored of gaming, so I've decided to seek another hobby.

- I'm a server owner, can I hire you to produce custom models?

Cheers for the offer, but I'll have to decline. I just simply don't have the time to spare.

- Why did you remove your addons?

I usually don't remove any of my addons without a reason. If I do, then I did it in response to the original authors, or the Steam admins removed it.

- Will you re-upload your removed addons?

If my addons are removed from the workshop by Steam moderators, I may re-upload it onto a third party site. If the original author requested me to remove it, I will not.

- Why did my comment get deleted?

I usually don't delete comments from my workshop addons, but if I do then its because you're spamming or placing unwanted advertisement. Repeat offenders will be blocked!

- Why can't I comment on your workshop addons anymore?

Because you're blocked for constantly spamming.

- Will you quit modding?

I will eventually.

- How long on average does it take for you to port a model?

Depending on what I want the model to be (e.g. ragdoll, playermodel or prop), it can take anywhere between 1-10 hours of work depending on the polygon complexity, number of errors and mistakes and your weighting speed. Props are the easiest to port since they require no animations. On the other hand, playermodels are the hardest to make as it requires a lot of weight painting, as well as trial and error.

- What software do you use to port models?

Blender, Crowbar, VTFEdit, Notepad++ and GCFScape.

-How long did it take you to learn to port models?

About 40 hours of research, self-teaching and practicing before I was able to successfully port a model into a ragdoll from MMD. (Rip my social life.)

-What's the difference between a request and suggestion?

Request: an action of asking for something.
Suggestion: an idea put forward for consideration.
^People still get that wrong >.>

- Why Rice Potato?

I don't know what else to name my group lol.

- Your workshop mods are ♥♥♥♥, can you delete them and ♥♥♥? <- ur average toxic hater

No, don't tell me what to do. You're not my mum :P

- Mom, not mum

I'm not American...

I have all of the Megadimension Neptunia model rips stored on my laptop and it is planned for future porting. However, I don't really have a schedule yet since I'm busy with Uni exams and work atm.
