@offshoot3D What did you lean towards?

I taught myself blender in my 30's and got a job within a year. Never too late, especially in fields were a good portfolio can trump education/experience

@AllAboutKorra imo I feel like it was doomed from the start. Budget slashed, seasons not confirmed ahead of time, later sent to their website I like the comics but feel it'd be better served as just being more seasons. ngl I want more korra content but as a show

@carlosedubarret would this be able to work, for example if there's a camera cut/ change to a camera angle, or if the camera shot is a close up?

Working on V4 See difference from V3 to V4, both animations are from the same video. Raw animation, no editing was done. #mocap #b3d

@MR3Dev I've had 1 job ironically enough teaching beginners like an intro course but not enough for a full foot in the door

@MR3Dev Damn for me it's hard bc I've been graduated since like 22 I love 3d animation but I can't lie I very much enjoy 3d sculpting as well so I've been dedicating time to both

I'll add to this and its gonna hurt some ppl. If you are treating 3D restricted to certain hours you dont like it. Getting a job in 3D is pretty hard for ppl who are really passionate, most jobs dont pay well so if you find yourself saying "I am only going to dedicate X amount of hours" this isn't for you. My 9 to 5 is 3D modeling industrial equipment, once I get home I go back to character work/ Unreal Engine

@VGamingJunkie @okayyyy37 Idk if you remember there's like a "directors commentary" on some of the episodes. Like small bubbles on the corner tha would be the writer's commentary? In the play episode when Zuko asks if Jet died, a bubble appears and says "Yup, Jet is dead" just like that.

@okayyyy37 Exactly. Yue even dropped dead onscreen with Sokka holding her fresh corpse. And Combustion Man blew up onscreen with his metal gauntlet falling into the abyss. They are all too happy to show people dying, just not kids.

Jet's death is one of the funniest and saddest moments in Avatar because even the characters seemed confused about it. He took a massive earthbending strike from Long Feng, collapsed, gave his final speech, and then the show just awkwardly moved on. Nickelodeon didn't want an explicit death scene, so they left it vague enough for kids while making it obvious enough for everyone else. As Sokka put it, You know, it was really unclear.

@LightningShade0 @Aurondarklord Hmm how do you see her eyes in this manner? Even a little? I'm trying to see it but it's a bit difficult

@PeruvianPoly @Aurondarklord I think so. The tsurime/tareme distinction is often rather important in anime/manga, so it'd make sense they'd shift a game model in a way that maintains realism, but is closer to the desired archetype.

Claire and the woman they face scanned for her. Very close to exact. There is no technological problem that stops western devs from doing this, uglification is on purpose.

@LightningShade0 @Aurondarklord Hmm I see your examples So you're saying they tried/adjusted her eyes to look a tad more like this shape?

@PeruvianPoly @Aurondarklord tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.… not quite the same, but the direction is there

@LightningShade0 @Aurondarklord What do you mean by the tsurime eyes? I'm a little lost

@Aurondarklord Considering how important the "tsurime eyes/tareme eyes" distinction is in anime and manga, I feel very confident that pushing the final model into "as close to full tsurime as possible while maintaining realism" is intentional. Very interesting comparison, thanks. /2

@YujisRedRuby_ @yunalsca this particular one is a remake of the 1st episode the creator of the remake has been wanting to do more, but it's been years without any update

@yunalsca So wait. I seen “to be continued” but then i see yall saying the creator dead 🫤 was pt 2 ever completed & uploaded before i waste my time watching?

loved the way tifa came to help cause my girls were getting their asses KICKED

@The_T0bs @samwakinsvv What?? I used to watch this show all the time and thought it was the worst moment what could have possibly been worse than growing mushrooms in a freezer

@samwakinsvv And that doesnt even rank as a top 50 worst shit Jon saw. And people still to this day stand by the retarded "it was staged" logic.

He didn’t overreact at all cuz how humid does the freezer have to be to be able to grow MUSHROOMS in there LMFAOO

@samwakinsvv Bro encountered the mushroom of instant rage 😂😂

@Rashmunchel Fuuuck I wanna see that full cutscene now, it's not fair

Rare renders from an unused cutscene, James carries Mary through the Prison and mannequins are crawling on the ceiling. Check the closeup, you can see the pain and guilt in his eyes. This was possibly from the In Water ending, after he picks Mary up from her bed and carries her out of the room. It's only briefly shown in a trailer. Renders restored and upscaled by me. #silenthill #silenthill2

@MR3Dev @Pirat_Nation DS3 ended on a cliffhanger though. And iirc, DS4 was supposed to be about Ellie surviving in space after the brethren moons absolutely slimed earth

@PeruvianPoly @Pirat_Nation I agree with your points. Overall the story was wrapped up, so a new game would be more like a soft reboot than a sequel.

Dead Space 4 is probably not going to happen, even though the series has a big and loyal fan base that really loves the games. Chuck Beaver, a writer and producer on the first three Dead Space games, explained the reason on a recent podcast by sharing the simple business truth that “The numbers just aren’t there” to make another game. The 2023 remake sold about two million copies, but EA saw it as a disappointment because they wanted much higher sales. The older games sold about the same amount. Beaver noted that years ago a new Dead Space game needed around five million sales to continue, yet today, with much higher production costs, that number has jumped to 10 or 15 million copies. He called pure single-player horror games “a dinosaur fossil” in the game industry now because big companies prefer live-service games that keep making money for a long time. He added, “It’s disappointing that we can’t take a beloved franchise to its logical end but… I understand the numbers.” Glen Schofield, who helped create the series, recently pitched Dead Space 4 to EA with a plan to reuse assets from the remake and save the company 30 to 40 million dollars, but EA still said no. For now the series is on hold as the team has moved on to other projects

@MR3Dev @Pirat_Nation Respectfully I disagree It wasn't even the type of dead space game they wanted to make in their own way. Micro transactions, human enemies, pointless love triangle, coop that, while fun, isn't as good as something like re5.

@Pirat_Nation TBF Dead Space 3 wrapped the story arc very well so a sequel would feel forced

@OmoAlade007 Wouldn't she be connected to Korra at the least? Wouldn't Korra be the new "beginning" for the avatar past lives thing?

@thepaleunknown Imo Maria is the darkest ending. Headcanon is that james would absolutely slime Maria too, but this time it would be completely unforgivable. The big questuon is how would SH act when it calls him back again? More aggressive, maybe? No eddy or Angela this time.

@PeruvianPoly up to how you interpret it! could be the town actually taking him through his delusions in the vhs tape. or he could have also passed out (or even died) from the white claudia. the ambiguity makes it more jarring to think about

among sh2r endings, i think that Bliss is the darkest ending. although it's not as extreme as Rebirth or as ill-fated as Maria, Bliss feels like somebody installed a layer of paint over a rotting wall. james never finds out the truth.

@pascaliito Then what problems would Korra be leaving behind, even if unintended for her successor?

After Avatar Aang ended the 100 years war due to Roku negligence, he created Republic City so all nations could live together, but here is what he didn’t realize, His good intentions became a problem for Korra: — The rise of inequality in Republic City Aang helped create Republic City so all nations could live together peacefully. But over time, non-benders began feeling oppressed by powerful benders, gangs, and political elites. That imbalance eventually fueled Amon and the Equalist movement in Book 1. —The bloodbending crisis Aang spared Yakone instead of fully eliminating the threat. Yakone later raised his sons, Amon and Tarrlok, in abuse and revenge, creating one of Korra’s biggest enemies. —An overly centralized world order After the Hundred Year War, Aang’s era focused heavily on stability and peace through institutions like Republic City and international cooperation. But that system became rigid and politically weak. By Korra’s time, corruption, class divides, and power struggles had built up beneath the surface. —The Southern Water Tribe’s dependence During Aang’s lifetime, the South became more connected to the modern world and somewhat dependent on Northern support and influence. That tension later exploded in the civil conflict manipulated by Unalaq. —The spiritual disconnect of the modern age Even though Aang deeply respected spirituality, the world became increasingly industrialized after his era. By Korra’s time, many people were disconnected from spirits and tradition, contributing to the chaos surrounding the Spirit World in Book 2. —The imbalance caused by removing the Fire Nation threat Aang succeeded in ending Fire Lord Ozai’s tyranny, but peace created a new kind of problem: rapid technological growth, nationalism, and ideological extremism. Instead of one obvious evil empire, Korra faced many smaller, more complex threats: -Equality extremism (Amon) -Spiritual extremism (Unalaq) -Anarchism (Zaheer) -Authoritarian nationalism (Kuvira) That’s part of the theme of the Avatar cycle: Each Avatar fixes the crisis of their own age, but the solution changes the world in ways the next Avatar has to deal with.
