Lemmings smilies

[tseug]

[size=12]@Jazzem:  seems to work pretty well as an avatar...... [/size]

Suddenly I have an idea for an avatar......a 3D rendered lemming head!

EDIT: It is done! I know it isn't very good.....but at least I have an avatar.

And Andi, that's brilliant! Reminds me of Harvest Moon for some bizarre reason.

Thanks. I did the hairs a bit like the guy in HM. The other reason could be HM is anime-like, just like the eyes.

I know it isn't very good.....

[size=12]It is very good...for a picture of a mushroom. :-/ My first impression was that this could be something out of a Mario game.

(But yeah, I always find 3d modeling harder than drawing, so it would have been amazing if you actually had something that doesn't look like a mushroom... )[/size]

It would seem that the most logical thing to do regarding smilies, is to revert back to the Lemmings ones used in the old board, but keep these new, default YaBB ones as alternatives.

Why?

The issue is how smilies come out on posts that were made before the upgrade.  Some of those smilies automatically become the default YaBB smilies because they share the same code.  But other ones, like , is not a default smilie code in YaBB, so they don't get turned into smilies.

But here's the thing, if we later do add back all the missing smilies from the old board, noticed that we would then have a mix of the non-lemmings YaBB smilies and the lemmings smilies, even on the old posts.  Is that what we really want?

Granted, it's not the end of the world to have such a mix of smilies, but I'm thinking that the old posts would look nicer if we stick to making the default smilies set a Lemmings one.

(This doesn't affect the voting since the voting is asking more along the lines of whether we should get rid of the default YaBB smilies altogether.)

Andi, I found your smilie a little bit.......... small!

I was thinking if I look at it enough times it'll start looking more like a lemming...but instead, the more times I look at it, the more it's looking like a mushroom.

The biggest problem I think is that you didn't bother to shape the hairpiece and face beyond the perfect ellipsoids they started off as. &#A0;I think just by making the face ellipsoid more pear-like or egg-like (with the chin being the narrower end of course), it would be a major improvement. &#A0;The hair...well hair's always hard, but see if you can flatten the ellipsoid out a little so it looks less like a dome. &#A0;And try to find a texture bitmap for the hair that doesn't look like Astroturf.

I keep thinking it looks like a hairy acorn...

The lemmings big nose should be "in front" of him. Now, it looks like there's no nose at all! ;D

Well, yes. Because I kept the size of the old ones.
