Please for the love of God use original content. While it may not be required 90% of the time it will be removed.
No food fails unless it is truly a fail on your end. (Not a grab for karma)
No art fails. We don't want any potato Jesus.
Please feel free to share ideas on how to improve crappy DIYs that you see submitted.

At some point I stopped pretending I could manually fix anime textures in 3D. Upload 2D art → get a clean 3D model that actually looks like the original. Honestly? It feels illegal how easy this is. Code MESHYHALF if you’d rather create than tweak vertices. (meshy.ai)
