Anyone know the best way to transfer a base from Oekaki?

Postby -wild- » Tue Mar 31, 2020 11:46 am

    Hey!
    So I've recently acquired a species and base that I am looking to transfer onto a more accessible software for myself to be able to use the lines and base which I have purchased properly, ChibiPaint is not a very useful software for me I'm afraid ^^; And basically I am looking to see if there is a way to transfer the art file + all the layers onto another programme, specifically FireAlpaca, but even a photoshop file would be opened on my software.

    Does anyone know of a good way to do this?

Hello! The best way as far as I'm aware (and the way I do it) is to upload the lineart as a transparent cs image (delete/hide the background layer) and then download the file. Then you can open the file into FireAlpaca and have the lines there. You can do this for all of the layers and then just put them in the same mdp, set up the same as the Oekaki.

For instance, if i wanted this drawing, but just the dog:

I would delete the background layer, and leave the rest. Then upload that new drawing as a colour in. Then I can put the transparent version in the description, and save the file to my computer.

To make a drawing transparent you just need to alter the image URL. Change format=auto to format=png
So this:

Code: Select all
https://www.chickensmoothie.com/oekaki/image/image.php?id=3508693&size=medium&format=auto&rev=1577100912


becomes:
Image
Code: Select all
https://www.chickensmoothie.com/oekaki/image/image.php?id=3508693&size=medium&format=png&rev=1585627842


The image must not have a background to do this.
I recommend just hiding the layers you don't want and saving the edited drawing, instead of making multiple colour-ins. This just saves spamming the board. c:

the best way i’ve personally done it other from liion’s methods, was to also hide the background layer and layers i don’t want, save and go to upload, but don’t upload it. instead, copy the image/image address, open a new tab, and paste the link, then edit the link.

Code: Select all
http://www.chickensmoothie.com/oekaki/image/image.php?id=575807&size=large&format=auto&rev=2


change the auto, to png like this:

Code: Select all
http://www.chickensmoothie.com/oekaki/image/image.php?id=575807&size=large&format=png&rev=2


copy the new link, past into a new tab again, and save. the image should be transparent now!
