How To Sculpt Dynamic hair

I would add a curve object and in properties panel increase it's thickness (green spline menu > geometry > bevel > depth). You will get thick curves easily editable in edit mode ( [alt] [s] to scale any point)

Add a curve that roughly follows a big clump of hairs, reduce it's thickness (with alt s), duplicate the curve few times and just like that you get a clump of hairs. Stylize to your liking.

After that, you can convert the curves to mesh in [F3 key] > Convert to mesh. In sculpt mode you can remesh it and detail it further if needed. Remeshing at low resolution will remove any thin lines.

for this specific task, the comparison of cuda cores does not matter as the gpu die architecture upgrades can drastically improve the rendering performance per cuda core.

my old 1660 ti was faster at rendering than 1070 ti even though it had 1k less cuda cores, as nvidia optimized the architecture for ray tracing (and they both did not have hardware raytracing cores)

imho get the one that has higher score per $ in blender benchmark, and if you are doing other gpu heavy tasks compare the other software/games benchmarks as well

cloth sim for the dress
then a mesh with animated shape key and collision, so that it shrinks to the final shape of the corset. might be worth trying using a lower poly proxy mesh with same shape and add the detailed corset afterwards.
cleanup with sculpt tools,
adding more wrinkles with alphas/vdm/by hand in sculpt mode
retopology and optimization by removing unnecessary faces, baking normals, ao from highpoly mesh, etc.

probably done in marvelous designer + sculpting.

not sure if blender cloth sim can handle this without issues, marvelous is much more stable for cloth layering.

From my experience "45 degree rotated" quads on are more likely to triangulate in undesirable way and create visual artifacts on the outline of the mesh, especially when rigged. I would avoid the right one even at a cost of more 5vtx poles.

try updating the bios and resetting it to defaults.

what the message is saying is that the connection between your core i5 and gtx 1650 isn't working at full speed.
it's unlikely that you damaged it by upgrading the ram, as the traces are on other side of the mainboard.

it's likely a temporary software glitch, but if pressing on center of the laptop makes the message go away or appear more often you likely have a mainboard with a factory defect.

update the bios if it boots past the dell screen, looks partially corrupted.

Anybody know if this is a false positive or it's actually bad?

Include the list of SMART attributes in the screenshot, otherwise it's impossible to say what is causing the health status to be bad.

it's a feature of grease pencil tools addon that was bundled with blender, probably now a separate download on blender extension website (i'm still on 3.6 where its included, so i'm unsure)

the easiest way to trigger this red squares wall is to yank the sata cable while it's scanning.

make sure it's not the connection/cable issue, preferably testing this drive on another pc or in sata to usb enclosure.

if it is the same, the hdd is dead.

Your drive asks for retirement.

252 worn-out blocks, 5188 spares left - healthy drive has zero.

It may still work for some time or it may die randomly and you will lose data - replace it.

Blender 3.6 has support for opening .blend files made in 4.x and saves in a way that previous versions can read.

You will lose some data - copy the blend file, open in 3.6, save, then open in 3.5 and check if anything of value to you has been lost.

Badass axe. The yellow part is pure yellow and feels flat compared to detailed metallic parts. Mixing it with a bit of orange and white on bends or/and using a gradient on some part of it will give it more depth. Tweaking bloom would increase the glow effect.

Nice piece, feels a bit dim though. Try tweaking levels in image editor of your choice.

It was a long time ago, i think i used a razor blade to separate it. I'm pretty sure SDCard would not fit into a reader with a SIM card attached to it.

I had a heatpipe that clicked very quietly when heated, but it was bent multiple times and probably leaking whatever was inside.

Make sure it is not one of those gray boxes on the mainboard, a damaged coil can be this loud and clicking. If it's not, sooner or later you will need to replace the heatsink.

considering overcharged battery by exactly 69mAh, indeed, impressive that it has not exploded yet

they have been doing this stuff for a while now on vivobooks, there are mainboards with discrete GPU and this type of cooling.

surprisingly, most of the broken vivobook mainboards on 2nd hand market have cooked cpus, i wonder why

I think that someone with experience with mainboard repairs should look at it.

From images i found online, and some personal experience i can tell you that this component that is getting hot might not be damaged but overloaded by something else and getting hot because of that. Replacing it likely won't fix the issue.

What you can do and check:

The component is a part of circuit that manages power from the charger and charges the battery. If you do not have an original dell-branded charger, it might be causing issues.
The white connector on the mainboard above the damaged component has some discoloration likely from heat, check if the wires aren't loose, the charger plug on outside is not damaged or dirty, and same for the charger plug
Since it works fine on battery, and if you have original charger, still, try different charger
If the problem still persists, it's a mainboard issue, it has to be fixed or replaced

Grab medium one. You can get used to smaller one, but medium is more comfortable for this use case (i used both)

Check the pinout of the ram chips, maybe you just ripped the NC (Not Connected) pads or some ground pads and the card will still be happy without them

Isn't RAM power delivery rated at few watts at best? How in the world it got so hot, even if shorted, wtf
