@TheIshikawaRin @Arren12172 Same. I made a bottle. We should make donuts and compare with no donut tutorial lmao

@Arren12172 I've been using Blender for like 6 years at this point and I still haven't made a donut.

The Blender Guru becoming the lolcow of Blender by becoming a massive NFT and AI shill with zero self-awareness really is a downfall that must be studied.

@TheIshikawaRin Blender Lolcow was not in my cards to be a thing that was ever uttered, but here we are

I have begun work on my Tau comic. Featuring armor by @SirWarfare

@thereisnobeth Coolest tattoo I've ever seen. This goes hard.

Got my hair dyed yesterday

I'm so glad I'm not the only one finding this corny shit annoying I made this account for my game over six years ago, just before covid. For five years I had less than 100 followers, and got maybe 3 likes a post, and two of them would be my mum and my girlfriend. I remember vividly sitting in my room, alone, wondering what the point of any of it was. No audience, no feedback, no reason to believe anyone would care. It was a struggle trying to keep going knowing no one gave a fuck about anything I did and nothing I did made a difference. I kept going anyways, not for reach or validation, but because all I wanted to do is make something. Everything i have now came in the last 18 or so months, and only happened because bigger artists managed to stumble upon my work and chose to share it. Thats it. No secret or conspiracy. So now when a post i make gets "only" 100 likes and I get disappointed, I remember back to what 10 felt like. Ten people is a room. A hundred is a crowd. A thousand is a theatre. Imagine what ten people patting you on the back and telling you they fuck with you feels like. It never stops being real. I have nothing but respect for the small artists out there posting for the love of the game for the maybe 8 people who care. Because I was one of them not so long ago, and I still am in many ways. What I dont have respect for is the artists out there with 50k, 100k, 250k followers who bitch and moan when not every post of theirs explodes and drowns everyone else out. That tired fucking "my art is good the algorithm just ignores me" routine isn't humble, its fucking gay and entitled to think you're owed attention for every little thing you do, or being silenced by the ever mysterious shadowban algorithm boogeyman. If that bothers you then go fuck off to artstation or something, the victim complex isn't humble and relatable, it's insufferable, corny and gay.

@sean_gause The biggest jump for me was learning how to use substance painter. I hate texture work to high heavens, but now I fumble my way through the process, both learning as I work on small projects and honing a new skill with home grown techniques. I hate watching tutorials :b

Blocked me so I can't reply, but: - Everyone starts out as a "non-modeler" - Blender is free and open source - Blender doesn't spit out slop that's built on stolen data I wasn't born with 3D modeling skills, and yet I'm making the project of my dreams. No excuses.

Progress on the Tau base

@JoshStrifeHayes My answer would be 50/50. And what do you know, the current result.

Dangerous question time ⚠️ Do you find 'gaming' culture, in general, leans more to the right or left wing, ideologically. Not, which way do YOU lean, but based on your time in the hobby, which side do you seem to encounter more often.

@Nyuunzii From what I understand, deleting posts worsens your situation. You normally just have to wait 4-5 days before posting again. You also have to time your posts. I post mine eithe morning rush hour West Coast USA or 7pm east coast USA. Usually get a satisfactory amount of likes.

Okay trying to manually delete 5000+ posts isn't working, I even tried some 3rd party stuff but... no dice... I just wanna purge this account, leave it for a week or two to try and escape the algo shadow realm, and then post massive tits again on main 😩

@SintheticR18 Yeah, there are some cool new features I'd like to try but 90% of my add-ons aren't updated and break, so I'm just staying on 4.5 LTS

Blender 5.0 I am going to lose my fucking MIND Whatever they changed as defaults for stuff is ruining me using the asset browser for things like Fluid Painter.

@Vaporwave_07 @AphonicWanderer My latest post got lucky

To be honest seeing all the artists I've looked up to and studied and aspired towards averaging 50 likes on their magnum opus works despite having 40k+ followers is kinda devastating they deserve so much more than this app
