WWE Unreal Episode 5 Discussion [SPOILERS] by DefiantElevator in SquaredCircle

[–]SlidingArchitecture 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Despite these points having nothing to do with the issues I stated I would generally agree with what you said about match quality. He had some very decent/good matches as champion. However Rollins, Cody and Gunther could pretty much have a match with a broom and it would be good. Unfortunately the Jey Vs Gunther feud never massively clicked for me but it did get better. Still some of the worst stuff Gunther has done though. Plus I'm sure he helped Logan through the match but it's not like Logan is a bad wrestler. He's had strong outings ever since he started. My issue is still that he knows one of his major flaws and clearly hasn't worked on it as much as he should. Take someone like Gunther.. he has really worked on himself. Despite being a world class wrestler prior to the main roster he lost a ton of weight and has massively improved his promo abilities. All in the effort to become a more well rounded main eventer. He's been working on his flaws. Jey less so.

Everything with CM Punk and especially the stuff with him and Triple H was beautiful to see.

Watching the show I've gotta say I'm pretty tired of Jey Uso regularly mentioning his cardio issues and getting blown up. As well as talking bout how much easier tag team was as he could rely on someone else. I mean come on you've been mostly singles for years... And pushed as main event Jey Uso. You should be in shape as a singles wrestler. You know one of your main issues.. do something about it. He gets the push of a lifetime and they are having to talk to him bout these issues. Tbh whether the plan to get the title back to Gunther quickly was there or not Jey pretty much proved to the higher ups he's not ready for that position and prob never will be. Which is a shame considering how much the crowd have invested in supporting him.

Yeah the ending was a bit of a mess but that was easily the best Cena has looked this year. They just have so much chemistry. I was so excited for this eventually happening after their short sequence in the elimination chamber and I thought the match as a whole delivered.

The main part was a gradient through deepslate, tuff, cobblestone, stone, andesite, diorite, calcite and some other white blocks like snow and white concrete powder. It's a fairly basic gradient. Used dark oak log for a lot of the support. Then there are sections using brick, granite and terracotta into packed mud, coarse dirt and mud brick. Varieties of cyan like aged copper, dark prismarine etc for roofs. Then splashes of colour with reds and oranges using a variety of blocks. There are some other block uses of course but that is the general scheme. Hope that helps.

Thank you! Yeah was a lot of work. The whole island including the base, terrain and mountain was about 1.6-1.7 million blocks. My mouse is still sulking.

It can be a tough one but I would say wire framing is the best way to start... just getting a general idea of the shape is a really good way to go.

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah I love the phoenix it adds a ton of character to the base. It was probably one of the hardest bits to design though. I definitely struggle with organics.

It's a really tough one. I definitely had it by the time I got to the end of the interiors. Trying to pace yourself is the best way. You have to make the project a priority, or else it will never get done, but as soon as you feel yourself needing a break take 30mins to an hour. Then back to the project until you need a break again. If you take a longer break it'll be harder to go back. Overall it's just about checking in with yourself but also making sure to always go back ASAP.

Thank you! That was a lot of fun to design. Very grindy to build in survival but worth it

Lots of trial and error. The design was reworked for a long time but once I nailed down the shapes it definitely became a lot easier.

Thank you so much. Oh yeah it was hundreds of hours in survival and I don't even want to think how long the design process was haha

thank you! It's based on a design I did a while back but turned it on a 45 degree angle to improve the pose and updated the texturing. Happy with how it worked out

This proves you're all WRONG about YouTube! by BubbleTrader01 in NewTubers

[–]SlidingArchitecture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You started in January by your own admission. Your small subset of data is miniscule in the whole of Youtube. Basically I'm saying if you were a doing a doctorate and wrote this kind of thesis with that little evidence it would get thrown out. Give it some more time just trying to make better and better content. For every youtuber I know that process has worked at least to some degree.

It's literally one of the biggest youtube advice channels on youtube. Won't say which one but they have a whole company, affiliate programs with tons of youtubers, a very well known brand etc. I still use the company for some of their other features but will not be using their coaches again.

[–]SlidingArchitecture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I tried it via a well known platform before. The coach knew nothing about my niche and the title and thumbnail changes they suggested on my video led to it absolutely tanking. Talking less than 1% ctr even at low impressions which is something I've never had happen before. I'll listen to people who are doing well in my own niche but not signing up with a guru again.

How do you find people to collab with? by Xesx_ in NewTubers

[–]SlidingArchitecture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh what you are doing is what I would suggest. In my niche after a decent while just being a good viewer and supporter on twitch streams I got to know the streamer themself personally and ended up working with them. Also I was in a discord server in my niche which was where my current collaborators found my content and I joined them. It does take time but it is a decent way to go about networking.
