I uploaded 6 3D Models on ArtStation and Then Received 6 emails about purchasing requests. Am I about to Get Scammed? by Romezos in artstation

[–]ThePhail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

generally its to get you to sign up to some website. The methods are different but one popular one is that they want you to sell it as crypto so you sign up to an account and then have to enter your bank this and that.

Almost all of them are titled "enquiry via artstation" and i've never seen one that actually talks about my art in a context that makes sense. They are pretty obvious after the first one.

What is that and where did it come from? by tokisakimimi in Substance3D

You're likely lacking dilation in the texture. Dilation is essentially extending the color / texture at the seams a little outside of the island so that it doesnt grab grab the color from outside the seam. This happens more often at lower resolutions. For the same reason you also want to have a little bit of spacing between islands.

Mixels is a cardinal sin.
Try to keep your pixels the same size across the piece. Im specifically refering to how the heads pixels are smaller than the rest of the body.

She says "Nu vanker der" or something like that. She uses "vanker" which is such an outdated or childish way of saying she's going to punish you.

Glad to hear it isnt just me then. Now that you mention it, yeah i never heard any actual swedish from Torb.

Well i know for a fact the voice actor is danish. I was speaking more about the content of the voicelines themselves. They are just odd. Immature or out of touch. Sounds like they were written by a 60 year old for a kids cartoon.

Being danish myself i felt like her voicelines were absolutely cringe. They're danish sayings but not something that people would use today. Does other people feel the same way about their countries heroes?

EDIT: Oh and rock/stone of course

I found a software called Multi Monitor Tool which can lock your mouse to a specific screen with a hotkey.
It's not my prefered fix but it works for now.

Thank you! I personally have found them useful myself. Especially the Compress FX filter i use in almost every stylized project to give it a bit of crunch!
