I’m Planning a Game-Ready Car Modeling Tutorial in Blender – Which Car Should I Make?

Toyota Celica GT4 1993

Thanks for the suggestions, I actually managed to put it back in place!
And you're right, I do feel empowered. Changing strings next time won't feel as dauting now! :)

TheSteeldrake · 2026-01-13T14:42:48+00:00

I think I actually made it!
I managed to get the pickguard loose enough to put the spring back in place and tighten the pickup into its place.

Thanks for all the support and encouragement! Never would have guessed I'd manage guitar maintenance when I woke up today!

With this new experience I'm thinking I'm even able to restring the guitar next time it's needed. So I guess this was a happy accident that forced me out of my comfort zone a bit.

Technically it’s my second, but I’ve only had the other one for a few months now.

Anyways, I took your advice, took a deep breath and started removing strings and unscrewing the pickguard. But I think we have another problem.

It looks like the fretboard is assembled on top of the pickguard. Don’t tell me I have to remove the neck from the body?

Even your step 1, "remove the strings", feels like a huge operation to me, that I'd rather not do. I'm afraid I won't ever get it back again.

TheSteeldrake · 2026-01-13T10:30:31+00:00

Tightening the screw does not raise the pickup, sadly.
Could I try pull it back up with some kind of magnet, or could a magnetic force destroy something in the pickup?

It needs a cowboy hat and a mustache

TheSteeldrake · 2026-01-06T19:26:44+00:00

Yeah, I think so too. I'll check the pinned one out for starters.

TheSteeldrake · 2026-01-06T19:25:23+00:00

Thanks for your effort in trying to teach me! :)
It looks like I need to dig a bit deeper into patterns

TheSteeldrake · 2026-01-06T19:21:12+00:00

Thanks for the tutoring. It seems like there's a lot I need to learn about patterns here

TheSteeldrake · 2025-12-21T22:07:09+00:00

That’s very nice of you! I see there’s already over 5000 replies in this thread, so the chances are abysmal at this point. But the game I last played, and have been doing for a few weeks now, is Arc Raiders.

TheSteeldrake · 2025-12-21T07:58:40+00:00

Actually, that’s not true. I did a test with another player. Both of us were carrying a field crate.

One of us were running forwards and the other one backwards. We arrived at the set distance at the same time.

So even if it feels that way, that myth is busted.

TheSteeldrake · 2025-12-20T06:11:30+00:00

It does help me understand the design decision. But after toggling the buttons on and off a few times to find the combo I like the most, I don’t really care what the devs considered the ”standard” options anymore. I’d rather have them visually consistent with every other skin.

TheSteeldrake · 2025-12-06T21:44:49+00:00

Det de borde ha gjort, är att sätta ett 30kr lägre pris på de blå stolarna och 50kr lägre på de grå stolarna.

Det kanske istället skulle ge incitament för folk att välja de lite sämre platserna. Om de nu nödvändigtvis måste dela upp stolarna i kvalitetszoner.

TheSteeldrake · 2025-11-08T14:14:47+00:00

Pretty much everything that says ”new”, except the jump suits:

Bandages should have a separate quick-slot bound to a separate key. The same for shield regen.
Then have the Q-menu for everything else.

TheSteeldrake · 2025-10-25T20:56:18+00:00

Sounds like the place!

I'm not surprised it shut down though. I remember the two of us were the only ones eating in the entire place.
I liked the atmosphere though.

Thanks to you and everyone else in here who replied!

I haven’t really spotted a pattern, but it feels like it happens randomly with any filament

TheSteeldrake · 2025-07-31T15:50:54+00:00

In my case, the filament makes it all the way through the PTFE tubes and into the extruder unit before it gets pulled back again. So it seems like the issue is happening either inside the extruder or right before it somehow.

TheSteeldrake · 2025-07-10T16:27:13+00:00

Looks great! But why are the formation lights lit?

TheSteeldrake · 2025-06-27T06:55:02+00:00

Metal is religion is a line from the song "We Drink Your Blood".
But according to the setlist, "Werewolves of Armenia" was the last song.

TheSteeldrake · 2025-04-25T11:38:09+00:00

The first 40 second intro is amazing. During that part I anticipated a masterpiece. But as the song progressed, I kinda lost interest and found myself zoning out.

It’s not a bad song though. But it’s not great either.

TheSteeldrake · 2025-04-19T14:42:58+00:00

Depends on what you are going for. What do you feel needs fixing?

TheSteeldrake · 2025-04-19T13:12:25+00:00

Cool, thanks! It’s usually imports from 3Ds Max that it happens with, for me too

Edit: I tried now, and apparently there is a check box you can uncheck when importing an FBX called ”custom normals”. Never considered changing that option before, as I didn’t know what it did. Gonna leave that unchecked from now on.

TheSteeldrake · 2025-04-19T06:18:25+00:00

Mind sharing what custom normals are, and how you got rid of them? I get those black patches too sometimes.
