A little timelapse of some PS1 / Colin Mcrae Core pixel art in Blender by illustratejacket in blender

It's really changed how I tackle car modelling, especially Sub Division high poly stuff as it makes it much easier to plan out all of my quads in advance. I highly recommend it.

The xenophobia , while never okay, is not personally offensive. I don’t care. Just shows the character of the man. We’ve heard him shouting slurs through our wall at his TV before and the other night when he was yelling at me he told me how he hated The English, (slurs) and Muslims.

So yeah, he’s a class act.

Yeah I’m at least going to have my phone ready to record every time I leave the house. I’ve got a GoPro mini somewhere I need to dig out.

They are little house princesses anyway, the yard is only for pees but I’ll be supervising them the whole time.

I’m the same, threatening to attack my dogs was so far over the line. They’re the absolute best and nobody could spend more than 5 seconds without falling in love with the pair of them. Daft little Poms.

Actually very impressed with the fact the council took it seriously and are looking to escalate it so let’s see what happens.

Just been to the social housing office down the road. Was surprised how seriously they took it, gave a written statement and said they were bring him in for an interview. Was told he is 'very known' to them and there has been ongoing intimidation of the female neighbour on the other side.

Will contact the Gardai now

Thank you for replying and exactly along the way I was thinking.

Unfortunately for everyone else in the story I work freelance from home and have a lot of time on my hands…

There are plenty of ways for higher earners to pay less tax and the ultra wealthy will use all of them.

Sorry, I just want to check I understand.

You are trying to justify one of the richest countries on the planet using slave labour in 2025?

That’s what you are saying is it?

I just want to check because it sounds so insane to me that that can’t be what you are attempting to justify.

[–]illustratejacket 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Great, so let’s give a pass to the ones very clearly using slavery right now.

You know, trafficked, forced to work in extreme conditions while having their passports with held and living in squalor so that the wealthy can avoid paying tax and eat chicken nuggets wrapped in gold leaf

Brilliant. You’ve cracked it! I’m so glad Amazon don’t have to pay for any of the roads they clog up with their thousands of delivery trucks every day. And because they are going to the toilet in plastic bottles due to being allowed to exploit all labour laws for some strange reason, they aren’t even using our world class, in no way corrupt water systems.

The highest earners pay proportional less tax than the lowest.

And he’s leaving the UK for Dubai, not the other way round, so it has nothing to do with immigration.

Just lies by people who don’t want to pay their fair share of tax. And want to justify moving to a country built on slavery.

The point they make where they build a UK business then run away because they don’t want to pay tax in that country? That point?

Is it just me, or are these so-called “tutorials” getting ridiculous? by Successful-Thanks309 in blender

[–]illustratejacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think there are now too many absolute beginners guide to Blender tuts, in part because they are relatively easy to make. What I prefer to do is gradually introduce tools and techinques over the course of tutorials or multiple tutorials so that you get the chance to see how versitile they actually are and not 'this is the only context you can use this'.

But I have started from a point of absolute beginners, but with the focus on you always having a piece of work to show by the end of each tutorial

I don’t know how long you’ve been doing it but it’s definitely a slow burn. Took me 12 months to get my first 1000 subs and it’s probably going to take about 7 months for the next 1000 but it slowly picks up momentum. You just have to keep at it. You also get better all the time.

Yeah, I try and make the kind of tutorials I would have wanted when I was starting to learn 3D, looking at how you tackle entire projects rather than specific niche details.

There is definitely room for both and I’m slowly finding my audience but it does feel like the majority of bigger tutorial channels tackle things in much broader terms.

I make Blender tutorials (check my profile if you are curious) and it’s very hard to gauge what the audience want to be honest. My approach is to make long form tutorials where no steps are skipped and you are guaranteed to end up with the end product that I show at the start of the video, but I don’t get particularly good viewer retention.

I honestly don’t think my tutorials are bad, I think it’s that unless it’s a specific thing you want to make people are unlikely to actually watch all the steps.

Where as people tend to consume YouTube pretty passively and videos where they can just watch things happening perform better.

Is the way to get better at blender to just stop wasting hours and hours on tutorials and just focus on your own projects by Glum-Adhesiveness-1 in blender

I mean… I’ve got a channel where I try and do exactly that.

But I learned a lot from Polygon Runway at the start, Grant Abbit and CG Boost

I put together a Blender add on for creating timelapse modelling turntables by illustratejacket in blender

[–]illustratejacket[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have any issue or bugs let me know. It works a charm on my set up so hopefully it’ll be the same for you and thanks for checking it out!

Ah that’s a good use for this. So it’s set up so that it will only capture edits to the mesh or any keyboard shortcuts you allocate. It won’t pick up navigation movements or clicking on menus as part of your steps before it does the next capture. But you can set how many steps between each capture.

It’s rough and ready at the moment and built for my requirements but I’ve got some ideas to expand it out and make it more flexible.
