just a few general Toyhouse questions that are probably both “no“ but I thought I’d ask anyways
1- can you condense characters into one? Like make entire characters into split tabs for another? Because I do that for variants but thats not the case for my fursona, ponysona, and persona even though they’re essentially still the same character in different universes. they were just made before I had the whole multiverse thing lol
and 2- I’m making a VERY ambition animatic/“animation” project entirely for fun that ideally should be finished BEFORE January(I go back to school in January), but AFTER the end of November because of the release of Procreate Dreams (Procreate’s new animation app that looks absolutely incredible and game-changing and it’s a one time payment of $20 so like, they’re my favorite company ever for that because zbrush is also coming to iPad and I am willing to bet that’s ANOTHER $1k subscription (zbrush desktop perpetual license is literally over $900 and you still have to pay like $500 for major updates) so by comparison to that and like, Adobe, it’s absolutely amazing and I’m rambling excitedly) anyways it’s hopefully gonna be a fully rendered (shaded and clean, in color) animatic/animation (like an animatic+) and it’s gonna be awesome. it’s the scene from infinity war where Doctor strange and Tony stark are in space arguing about whether to go home and it’s really tense and they almost kiss but sparvelAU twilight and luster and they DO kiss (I’ll make a normal version too that’s a bit longer but fully adherent to the scene for professional uses) and uh yeah I’m excited. It’s currently blocked out and I’m starting the actual sketching now.
Anyways here’s the actual question part- is there a way to put videos on Toyhouse that ISN’T just a YouTube link? Like embedding or something? I’m not loving having them behind links in their profiles but it’s the only way as far as I know to do it. (see StrangeSkies’ profile for an example-she does have an original (yet rougher) animatic already there)
that’s it, excited for November. November also has deep cut amiibo from Splatoon coming out and Doctor Who‘s 60th anniversary special so it’s gonna be a good month.
I’ve been looking for the embedded code too so I can get that snippet for you yes it exists. As for condensing characters, the only way to do that is to add the art from the duplicate. So you would make the split tab, add it to the image and remove the original from the image. I don’t think I’m explaining it well I’d have to show it probably. It’s just more efficient than reuploading the art and keeps the original dates

Yeah I figured you couldn’t. I’m probably gonna keep them separate for now because it’s pretty much the same as a split tab and they’re still linked in the links section so idrc. lmk if the embed thing works out, I‘m def curious about that. Worst case scenario I can make playlists for my characters in YouTube and link to that.
