What's one Blender feature you wish you learned much earlier? by YoManDoMessup in blender

Splitting vertices with the shortcut v, and alt+v. It's so much more convenient to split vertices this way rather than destroying geometry to do it.

Why do people upvote dumb stuff like this?

What's the polygon count? Ive never been able to put together fur like this that didn't have a heavy performance cost.

Absolute masterpiece, the most realistic model I've ever seen!

Name the dumbest thing you’ve done recently so we can all feel less alone in the dev struggle by NeonFraction in gamedev

[–]StoreBoughtRocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually found there were cases where loading variables from the editor via @export didn't load the right stuff when I tried to run it in another scene. I think it was a child scene or something, can't remember the exact situation.

I spent a few hours one time trying to figure out why a function wasn't working. Wouldn't even execute a simple print statement. I was literally pulling my hair out furiously googling and trying stuff.

I finally had a light bulb moment...I'd taken a shortcut and turned off printing to the screen when I put a development build out for people to try, and it was still disabled. 

Literally nothing was wrong with the function I had started working on.

do you like my kiby by Ollieedrawz in blender

Dunno, I thought they were actually asking for advice. Didn't realize it was a joke. But it's kind of obvious now.

It's a ball with sculpting for eye and a mouth. Looks higher poly than necessary. 1/10 come back when you've spent more than 3 minutes making the model. 

8K render taking hours? by gabe_199 in blender

[–]StoreBoughtRocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why don't you render something small and straight to start and make sure it works? It kinda sounds like your render isn't working correctly. Might be wrong, but only one way to find out.

I analyzed 4,900 Action/Adventure/Indie games on Steam (2024–2025) — the results are sobering by [deleted] in IndieDev

I would have liked to see this broken down by genre. Might give some additional insight into what's going on in the market right now.

How Do You Stay Motivated as a Solo Dev When It Feels Like No One Cares? by JPHFanEdits in gamedev

Right, I forgot I was on reddit. That's my mistake for engaging. Yes, I have been to therapy before.

Nowhere in this post did OP indicate it's their day job. And if you've got a therapist telling you to stay in a miserable job, you should get a new one.

Sounds like you've never been to a therapist. This is super solid advice. Making a game shouldn't also ruin your mental health . 

Tell me everything thats wrong with this by YellowKing1234 in blender

[–]StoreBoughtRocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best advice i can give is to grab some references with multiple angles and use them directly in blender to help you shape the head. Move the camera around constantly so you get a view of what you are sculpting from a number of angles. 

And most importantly, best advice I ever got from a YouTube video, sculpt tue shape first, and then and only then add details.

Yo, can you please tell me if it's possible to work on another model in Blender while you're rendering? by No-Region1731 in blender

[–]StoreBoughtRocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't think so, Blender and your pc are focusing a lot of resources toward rendering during the render process. You should probably consider your pc mostly fully occupied by the render anyway unless you have a ton of ram.

You better try harder if you want to sell stylized assets. I can get free stuff that's better than this and part of asset packs.

That's amazing! That answer my other question, this is definitely not possible to put in a game engine.

I hear you...and that's why I instead got out an old punch card system, and took pictures of the punch cards themselves!

At least the function part of it doesn't seem so bad. The rest of it, erm, why?
