A backup from 2022ish of the original blog at "shopium.cf" has been uncovered and set up here, mostly as an archive. This blog may be used for new posts as well, but do not expect it, as Discord is easier to use. - BaguetteBling (Carly), Shopium & Virtue Development CEO
Rendering Update
Note: Edited in 2025 to fix broken image URLs.
Previously on the Shopium News:
We're currently trying to render with colors. Stay tuned!
When you last heard about us experimenting with renders, we couldn't get colors or anything, and rendering was 100% manual, but that's soon to be 0%. We are now able to render clothes, t-shirts, faces, colors, and (if there's no shirt equipped, studs as well) all from URL parameters. The only limitations, currently, are that the images must be in the RCCService content folder, and that RCCService is being manually hosted on our PCs. We're still figuring some stuff out and we're working to bypass these limitations.
Sneak peeks of Shopium renders:
Welcome to the Team, [ Content Deleted ]!
Note: Edited in 2025 to fix broken image URLs and redact mentions of a controversial ORC member.
We're proud to announce that [ Content Deleted ] is now part of our team! Here's a sneak peek of our new design (which [ Content Deleted ] made the frontend for).
Please note that this image may not accurately represent the final result as this design is subject to change as V3 development goes on.
