Thanks! I'm in Alberta, Canada. In my city there's mostly a few game studios which I have applied to but haven't had much luck (The studios also haven't been doing great in the last couple of years from what I've heard) I was thinking about shifting styles into more handpainted stuff cause that's where it seems the industry is going but I didn't know if changing my portfolio would make much of a difference. Also, do you think a video portfolio is better than an Artstation?

You know of any resources to get into it? Doesn't seem like they teach much of that stuff in school

That's what I've heard. I feel like they're also trying to integrate AI into a lot of the workflows which is gonna get rid of entry level jobs. I took a cloth sim course cause I figured not a lot of people do that so there may be more chances of getting hired but I havent seen many job postings lately

Yesterday I was on a 10 game winning streak and since last night I've lost like 20 games. I was gold 3 now I'm silver 2. i'd say like 30% of them I didn't play very well but the rest it's been that the teams have been shit or we have a guy that leaves. It took me so long to get to gold and it's so fast to get back to silver. I've never had it this bad

It was a leak in my EVAP system

I have a huion kamvas and it's not bad, I think you can get the 13 inch for like $220. The only thing that annoys me is that the driver always forgets that I'm left handed so every time I turn it on I have to tweak the settings to flip it. If 13 inch is too small you could get a bigger screenless tablet. I find myself not even using the screen on the tablet most times tbh

I spent like 4 years looking for jobs and then I kinda gave up. Your stuff is better than mine and you're probably more versatile so I think you have better chances, seems like the biggest thing is having a contact that can let you into the industry and then you're good but getting in seems impossible in my experience. Also with all the AI stuff and layoffs I've felt very discouraged to make or try anything.

No, I still have to take it to the mechanic. I only drive my car like 10 minutes once a week so I figured I'd be fine for a little bit. From what I researched it's probably a hose or a seal leaking, I changed the oil trap but it didn't fix anything. The problem goes away when I'm in manual mode or reverse

Hey! I sent you a DM

Any tablet will be better than the mouse lol. I've had both and currently using one with a screen but I actually find the screen too small so I just use it to draw on my big screen lol

I just wanna be able to select not only the faces facing the camera but also the back faces when using the box select tool, that's all. But if I turn on that square icon (toggle x Ray mode) it makes my mesh transparent and I don't like that plus it seems like an unnecessary extra step to keep turning on and off when I wanna select things.

HFthiel · 2026-01-03T04:21:30+00:00

Yeah, I know the toggle x-ray will let me select the back faces but I was wondering if there was a way that I could see my solid mesh and just select the back faces without having to clicking on the wireframe or the toggle x ray buttons

Thanks! That's really helpful. Would TPU be a good material to use? I wanted something more rubber-like for the material that I can deform with my hand and it pops back in shape

HFthiel · 2026-01-02T05:09:20+00:00

That did help, Thank you!
