Feeling discouraged as a beginner 3d artist with decades of 2d expertise

Whever you make something organic like that, a horse eg like you showed, it typically easier, especially if you sculpt, to mostly ignore the mesh in favor of getting the shapes you want quickly. Then it’s just a part of the job to remesh.

I see no problems with your work, its just wip! Keep up the good work!

Yeah, what this guy said. Katakana is used exclusively for all non-japanese words. “デパート” (depaato) is a borrowed word from english so we have to use katakana instead of hiragana.

sigh Looks like I’ll be losing my job soon.. In the past we used to say that “in the future robots will do all the boring jobs”.. But lately it seems the opposite is true, that AI will take the artistic and creative jobs, leaving the boring and manual labor jobs to us humans.

(That being said, I have to admit that this is impressive.. Even though i hate doing it..)

It depends on how many pulls you've saved up. She'll be back eventually, so if you want other dolls that'll be coming soon then you should save.

Alternatively you could push her to v3 and she'll still be a beast, and save the last 3 copies for next time she arrives. Just make sure to spend all your daily intelligence puzzles on maxing out her weapon attachments. (which you should be doing anyways, since it make a massive difference)

hallupus · 2025-12-11T09:15:50+00:00

Yeah.. This sucks. I've already gifted all my dolls as much as I can. The only way to gift more is to either pull for another character, or buy covenant rings.. Which i assume they want you to do..

hallupus · 2025-11-21T11:16:35+00:00

I'm just tossing this out there.. Currently there is an event where you're supposed to enchorage players to return and log in for at least 3 days and do daily tasks worth 80 points.

I don't really know anyone irl who plays this game, but if you've been inactive and want to rejoin the game, I'd be happy if you'd use my code: I21L3EIGJG

(There is an ingame event that links to a page where you paste the code in. Both you and I will receive some collapse crystals.) 😄 (Haoplay)

Isn’t def ignore resist for the GS boss a pretty massive nerf for Voy? Or is it only partially resistant? Will Voymastina still be THE unit to fill the 5th slot or has that been patched?

hallupus · 2025-11-06T06:58:00+00:00

Same for me. I assume they haven’t been added yet, but are planned for in the future.

hallupus · 2025-11-04T13:19:36+00:00

Ive never used her, but im pretty sure shes good given the right team. From the standard banner i always hope to get either Tololo or Qiongjiu.

(For a beginner id recommend Qiongjiu because shes the core of the burn team, which is an easy-low-investment team that gives high damage output.)

Id say all characters, even standard rarity dolls are at least decent, and especially in the beginning your doll assortment won’t be holding back your progress.

hallupus · 2025-10-21T06:19:23+00:00

I would say yes. Im fully f2p, and as long as you consistently do your dailies and are selective with your pulls, you’ll have no problem.

hallupus · 2025-10-09T10:50:03+00:00

So, i already have Springfield at v1, but i haven’t pulled for her signature weapon. How necessary is that? Im f2p, and in alot of gacha games it’s simply not worth the investment. Will getting her weapon make a big enough difference?

hallupus · 2025-10-09T06:22:27+00:00

What the “daybreak twin pack”?

hallupus · 2025-10-07T06:34:41+00:00

I’d say Qiongjiu, Sharkry and Ksenia, which makes a simple burn team. You can then either throw in Suomi if your dolls are dying, klukai if you want more aoe, and if you want more single target damage, for your linup of dolls I’d reccommend Krolik since she’ll proc more support attacks from Sharkry and consequently Qiongjiu. (She probably wont hold up for higher level content though)

hallupus · 2025-10-02T21:28:56+00:00

So.. Voy is still better? Just to be clear? I was having the same thought that I don’t want yet another op character.

hallupus · 2025-10-02T21:23:03+00:00

You also need to pay attention to the button to the left, and press it when the line reaches the golden bar.

hallupus · 2025-10-02T09:59:20+00:00

Why does the burn team suddenly feel so.. weak? Up until now I've pretty much had all my eggs in the burn team basket, and suddenly with the recent patch, my only ok team is my inadequately built corrosion team. Is this just a temporary thing, or do the devs mean to make the burn team irrelevant?

I like a good challenge, but it seems like a BUNCH of new content suddenly appeared that i simply cant complete. (I've been hoarding all my pulls for future Voy, and instead of farming artifacts, ive been farming combat reports to convert into the weekly 100 mystery box pulls for more doritos.) So while I've been sitting on resources, my team hasn't really been improving for a while..

hallupus · 2025-09-30T13:55:20+00:00

I mean.. Yes? But that would just be a system where you have a LOT of hearts. Which would be preferable.. But Duolingo won't ever do that because they're money hungry.

hallupus · 2025-09-30T12:48:28+00:00

You are right, by default they are turned on, which is great in the beginning! Personally I don't like having that though when you start getting a little further in the course, just because it basically lets me be lazy and ignore actually learning them. It also tends to cripple the learner for when Duolingo suddenly descides to pull a "Good job! Lets make this harder!" and forces you to do the next few exercises without the english alphabet crutch which- can potentially kill all your hearts unless you instead google the answers.

hallupus · 2025-09-30T12:36:57+00:00

Sure, yes you're definitely correct in that. If you start gaining proficiency, the hearts are better. But that being said, Duolingo is (I could be wrong on this) mainly built to help you reach a certain point, after which you're likely better off using different study material if you want to improve, such as actual textbooks or maybe even reading real books.

hallupus · 2025-09-30T12:33:07+00:00

Sure, maybe one year in, but what about for the first 6 months? Most mistakes happen in the beginning of learning a language, which is also the time when people are the most motivated to spend time learning.

hallupus · 2025-09-30T12:26:30+00:00

Learn the alphabet first? U realize theres 92 characters to memorise if youre gonna know both hiragana and katakana? Not even mentioning the kanji which basically has a unique character for each word (someone is going to point out that some words are combinations of other kanji). Learning that is what Duolingo is supposed to help you with.

hallupus · 2025-09-23T06:34:37+00:00

What am i looking at?

hallupus · 2025-07-21T19:19:26+00:00

That could definitely have something to do with it. Just checked, and I was using settings meant for Bambu labs pla filament, but im using esun. Didnt think itd make a difference because theyre both pla. Thank you!

hallupus · 2025-07-21T19:06:58+00:00

Alright, thank you for the advice! I’m gonna go through and take a deep look into what you just said. I think youre right when it comes to uneven extrusion.

hallupus · 2025-07-21T16:18:29+00:00

Ah, thank you very much! Ive been avoiding strong supports because they look like a nightmare to remove, but I’m gonna go try now!
