someone somewhere 16 years or so ago made mlp pony models for source filmmaker and those fuckers were so prolific. who did those anyways

i don't really know where to start looking but it's not a great sign that the wiki doesn't seem to credit an author for this model

The nightmare night SFM video credits this creator with the "updated" models, presumably the ones that got mega popular, but this deviantart post also credits a DIFFERENT and also DEACTIVATED ACCOUNT with making the base model that this is an edit of. so the true progenitor is just kind of untraceable, maybe

i'm definitely not equipped to research stuff like this

Maybe @str8aura-no-not-that-one could help?

Unfortunately, I've got nothing. These were in use almost right from the get go, and most of the earliest makers of pony sfm probably thought nothing of crediting the original modeler. Whoever is responsible (likely someone on deviantart who never thought their creations would spread this far) is probably the most influential artist in the fandom, as their design became the base for every sfm pony going forward for fifteen years now.

I was able to find a snapshot of the deleted account credited in the above link on wayback machine in 2012 (the time the model linked above was uploaded) that actually had a surprising amount on the acct.

I was able to get into the gallery of it and find "[Download] Pony Male Model", and while the model itself wasn't cached, the description and comments were.

So this is it. This is a male version of 's pony_body model. It is intended to be used with his stuff. I unwrapped the UVs in that way, that

And the description of this one links to another deviantart that's STILL ALIVE but hasn't posted since 2024 afaik

KP-ShadowSquirrel is an artist on DeviantArt. Hi! I'm an Illustrator who likes to draw cute cartoon creatures. Anthro-logy: The MixtapeFurry

(I can tell this is the same account as well b/c the snapshot of the link in the pony body male above has a specific fluttershy art cached that's still available on kp-shadowsquirrel's live deviantart page to this day)

Searching pony_model (the exact phrase used in the firewarrior cached description) i was able to find this :D

Which says they were made in maya and zbrush, and credits another user (Mircea Kitsune) with making rigged versions for blender. The blendswap link to download the rigged blender versions is very broken, but taking it back to the wayback machine we do get a comment by MirceaKitsune saying her version was just an updated posable/eye posable version of Cheerilee's version here:

Swap some blends with friends

which DOES credit back to kp-shadowsquirrel's deviantart :D so we know it was probably kp-shadowsquirrel who made the original models from this set that were so prevelant around 2012 and then edited/turned into bases eventually used for other ponies/other creations.

That was fun i wonder if kp-shadowsquirrel knows.

#indeed the wayback machine (web.archive.org) is always a good place to start when online research is turning up mostly dry.#their search engine leaves something to be desired...#but if you already know the URLs for whatever you're looking for #(to see if the page was ever archived in their database)#then you just plug one in and go!#etc. etc.#it tends to be an immensely helpful resource for these sorts of things if you're familiar with how best to make use of it.

the wisdom ive learnt is that becoming part of a friend group 1) takes a long time and 2) involves a lot of feeling awkward and left out at first. there’s nothing terrible about this but if you grew up chronically lonely or have any kind of trauma relating to social isolation this likely feels Really Wrong and activates danger signals. but both fortunately and unfortunately it’s just how becoming close to new people works most of the time

another thing that was not intuitive to me as someone who grew up an autistic loner: basically everyone on the planet is starved for connection all the time and almost everything people do is an attempt to reach out to another. most seemingly illogical interactions and behaviours can be explained by this. you have to take as many of these invitations as you can. even if you're wrong you still attempted to bring more warmth into the world
