Peertube Avatar Generator

Published on

I made a new avatar generator for Peertube mascot squid-like characters.

You can play with it here:
https://www.peppercarrot.com/extras/html/2023_peertube-generator/

It's a personal contribution to the Peertube-plugin-livechat (WIP, link to the plugin on the generator page).

@goofy Non mais mais non mais non mais j'avais pas vuuuuu ! J'avais mis un "p" majuscule (quelle idée aussi, moi qui ait une visio ballistique de l'usages des majuscules :p!), mais cette image là elle est juste parfaite !

nice! and it even keeps the same squid for the same name.

The only minor problem is that hats and such sometimes don't work with the head shape, but I don't see how that could be solved without excessive work (making assets for each type of head) or just removing headwear entirely. :blobCat_shrug:​ a bit of jank is ok I think.

riedler@catcatnya.com

actually, maybe programmatically stretching headwear based on how wide the head is might look better. You'd still have to do a lot of work for that though; defining which headwear has to be stretched where, and stuff.

@riedler Thanks! I usually just work with a wireframe top layer on my stack to manage point of contact and limit to not cross.

If you find a problematic DNA number or string, thank you if you can report, I'll continue to adjust it (it's WIP).

skipping over the fact that "colonel maize" is absolutely cute~

"bonk" - the hat seems glued on. Maybe cut off the top of the head so it looks more "inside" of the hat?

that's it actually. Maybe my browser history is being weird, I could've sworn there was a second one.

@riedler Thank you for reporting "bonk", a good test case. 👍

They are so cute! I should get back to trying to stream so people can use these in the chat.

(And why are both generated ones so perfect?!)

These are so adorable!! *dies of cute*

Side note: Could alt-text for these be automatically generated? It might help for people who want to use alt-text in their bio avatar description.

@sphakos Thanks!

For generating an Alt-text, it would be doable, but complex and a long (and boring) task. It would need for sure to add text files to each of the 125 PNG sprites to describe them and then load them to make a sentence. It would take me days. And it is not something I'm ready to do in my free time.

The ZIP file on the footer of the avatar generator contains all the PHP I use to generate the squid, I'm open to external contributions in case someone really wants this feature. 👍

I don’t think anyone would begrudge you if you put together some of your preferred squid customisations :)

@alecat

Oki oki, then I choose this one ☺️

A screenshot of Krita with my workflow for doing Avatar generators: a long layer stack with precise named elements. Each layer name have export option for a 'batch exporter' script that output the trimming and the PNG output. My favorite combination in the middle: a metal squid with a spikey collar, steam punk glasses, black color, smiling, and with a color palette.
