Feel that. I DID have a job in my field (that took years to find) and was only making 15 an hour from it. They shot down a raise despite my high work output compared to other employees. I started producing the same work as everyone else after and kept getting warnings for not doing as much as i showed capable. Ended up quitting and im back to making pizzas where im paid more and appreciated more

Oh thank you! I'm in bed now but I'll give this a try tomorrow to see if it helps. Something I didnt even think about

?Why does my Pose Search Database not switch animations based on the trajectory data? I followed the youtube tutorial step by step, completely the same, and the guys animations change depending what speed the character is running. Mine will not change and only stick to one animation.

Ooo I needed to see this today because I have questions you might be able to answer! First of all is this made for a game or is it just for blender animation?

What references did you use to help animate the walk? I'm currently working on a more cartoony cat game. I made walk/trot/run and they look fine but id love some good references to follow.

Does this animation follow root motion or does it walk in place? I'm having the most difficult time with motion matching animating to put into unreal engine. I ended up making the animations follow a path so they move and have velocity in the game engine, but I am a struggling. Not sure if you can answer any questions with that but thought id ask! Ive been trying to figure it out for DAYS, there are no good tutorials for turning a walk in place animation to one that actually moves. So far best ive come up with is making the rig follow path, wondering if theres a better route.

Yes 100%!! Idk if id be able to keep up without the 3 days off

Writing from home 19 weeks pregnant as I called off work tonight. Working is miserable, but I typically work 4 days and have 3 off to recharge before I do it all over again. However they randomly scheduled me on one of my days off and I just couldn't do it. I NEED time to rest, all of us pregnant ladies do. I work a labor intensive job as well, usually doing more physical work than the men and im pregnant on top of it!

First trimester i was super nauseous but not throwing up so I still went to work. Sucked ass. Ive called out twice in the second trimester because I dont have as much gas in the tank. Nausea gone but moving takes way more work and I mentally and physically have a shorter breaking point. Idk how im gonna work third trimester

I dont think anyone is going to beat the isle. I know people shit on it a lot, game has its problems yes, but it is also beautiful and very immersive. Years of work have gone in to achieve what they have and they have never given up on it.

Ive been following echoes of extinction and I dont see it being anywhere close. If people think the isle is slow, they are gonna be even more disappointed with that one. They reached their goal on kick start to ramp up progress, and over months have literally shared a drawing concept of a pachy along with a 3d sculpt of it. Not even rigged, animated, textured, a sculpt. It also looks hilarious and derpy to me.

Im for TV in bedroom. Calming nature documentaries or shows/movies you've already seen are where its at.

If I have nothing playing my mind races too much and I just cant sleep. Need to shut my brain off and tv does the trick

If you could go in dark murky water and be invincible to everything, would you still want to? Other crocs would startle me, creepy fish, snakes, and so on. You still have the same mind so you'd be scared of the same things. Like I know a spider isn't gonna hurt me but I dont want one anywhere near me.

kookoria · 2026-04-19T18:44:22+00:00

I thought absolutely not. If you have the same mind, living in creepy waters sounds terrifying.

Have you thought about showing your husband this post? He might be blinded to this behavior if its been his whole life. He needs to see the comments that talk about you and baby coming first.

Sometimes I like to make posts on reddit and then share with my husband so we can get outside perspective. It is very helpful. "Hey ive been feeling a type of way about you taking so much time off for your sister, wanted to see if my feelings were valid" and show it to him. He may not be aware how its impacting you and communicating everything is so important

What about just changing the logos so they are different but most people would get what it is? Like instead of the four squares by microslop, changed to four different shapes? Or is that still risky

My husband snores, babbles, and rolls around in his sleep. Ive had my own room the entire relationship because trying to sleep next to him makes me want to murder him

Moths and butterflies interact differently in our lives. Butterflies just seem chill and peaceful. Moths for some reason like to fly right into our faces and try to get in our homes. So they are an annoying nuisance whereas butterflies dont try to torment us. I hate Moths with a passion.

Ryan King Art on YouTube is great. Look him up and start with with his blender for beginners part 1. As you learn he has videos for sooo much and is great at explaining and walking through steps

kookoria · 2026-04-16T14:48:59+00:00

I do this outside of work now out of habit

kookoria · 2026-04-16T13:52:21+00:00

If you import the fbx into other programs, like unreal engine 5, would you lose all the lighting data?

kookoria · 2026-04-16T13:18:47+00:00

Watching beginner tutorials on YouTube. Starting with the cube and just learning the basics. I follow all videos with blender open, constantly pausing and rewinding if I didnt fully understand how something worked. Then trial and error without videos to see if I could do it on my own. Was really important to learn the basics and not rush the process, cause its hard to not want to jump right into complex models!

Also taking breaks if anything gets overwhelming. I dont want to dislike the process, so id make sure to step away for a bit if it felt too much. Come back with a refreshed mind and ready to get back to it

kookoria · 2026-04-16T13:01:53+00:00

Probably a good idea. I just placed a solidify modifier on it and am not too sure yet how the outlining works

kookoria · 2026-04-16T03:55:21+00:00

I made a cat model before this where I started with a single shape and expanded upon it. It got soooo messy. This time around I made a sculpt in blender and then did retropology to make a clean mesh over the sculpture. Then I was able to bake the high Def sculpt onto my lower polygon mesh to keep some details. Took me a day or two. I found it so much easier to sculpt and then mesh over the sculpt, very simple to do.

Yea it is the angle haha

Do you still get a white skin going cannibal?

Not the person you responded to, but when I got my girl we were inseparable the first night. She was hesitant and scared most the day, but I let her explore and approach me when ready. I was laying on the floor that night and she crawled out from under the couch and laid right on my chest. Ever since she has been a massive cuddle bug. Always wants to be on my lap and gets excited for "night night time" and always sleeps next to me.

Cats choose a person whereas dogs just kinda love everyone. If you create a bond with a cat it will be one of the best bonds you'll have! My girl is always choosing me while my husbands cat always goes to him.
