BYC Genetic/Breed Calculator Huge Task Ahead!

[BlackHackle]

We should also try drawing our illustrations using templates. Using Adobe Illustrator is also a must for quality purposes. Here is a Blue Andalusian done in Illustrator, you can see it is not pixely

I feel like staff should be involved.... they may not want this on BYC or some other reason such as expenses.

We could even make it an app seperate from BYC and then show them it for consideration purposes.

Hi @Feather Hearts , I am very interested in working with you on this. Are you acquainted with genetic coding? I am not, but I have an expensive suit of illustration software I used for comics that creates high quality images. I could even make you have the ability to customize the tail shapes and lacing qualities. This would enable the user to customize the quality of his bird. An example would be an Orpington hen with a longer narrow tail.

Don't worry guys it was just an idea, and I know it's a very long shot. It's fine if we can't do it, and as I said it was just an idea. It would be good for the site to have a genetics calculator but there would also be problems like coding, images, and staff actually caring.
There would also be the issue of 'would this project attract more people to the site?' Because, even if it did, would it attract enough people to actually be beneficial?
It is a huge project and would probably take literal years, not to mention time and money. I feel as though I underestimated how hard this was going to be, and I understand now that it will be costly, and may not make the site better.
I am very stressed out at the moment and I really can't do this, sorry about causing a fuss. I don't need the stress of this.

Yeah, it is a good idea, one I thought of myself, but I realized it would probably take years of effort, and we don't all have that kind of time.

I'll see if I can arrange something with a coding enthusiast friend I have LOL

I don't know all too much about genetics, however I have worked with chickens for some years. I had adobe photoshop on my old computer, however it got hacked, so I had to get a new one... I also have invested a fair deal of money in traditional art supplies(Derwent Pencils, and Soon I'll get Copics). I'm glad you want to help make this possible, I really want it to happen I'll PM you and we can chat there

How the world you do that with Ai? Any artists I know, if they have Adobe, they have Photoshop. Have you used both?

 

[BlackHackle]

I like them both, but I found Illustrator to be more illustration centered rather that photo editing...but that's just what I noticed. Then again, I am a big Illustrator fan

 

[BlackHackle]

Oh, also @Fanci Feathers Marans , Adobe makes both Photoshop and Illustrator.
