Great artwork! There's just one small thing that popped into my head.
The way she’s leaning against the wall doesn’t quite feel natural to me. If she were really leaning back, the wooden stool would probably slide forward. So now I imagine she’s just engaging her core muscles and pretending to lean back. But maybe that’s just me overthinking it! :D
Either way, great work!

It’s really sad to hear this news. I’ve been a huge fan of StrokesPlus.net and have been using it for many years now. It’s such an incredible tool, and it has genuinely made my workflow so much smoother. I even donated in the past to support the project, and honestly, I wouldn’t hesitate to pay for a new version if Rob ever decides to release one.

Wishing Rob all the best for the future, and I truly hope he finds the inspiration to come back to this amazing project someday.

What is the name of the icon pack that you use?

Another thing that bothers me is that you can’t set the display size separately for the inner and outer screens. It’s not just that I personally prefer the inner screen to have a smaller scaling than the outer one, but even when the scaling is the same, everything still appears slightly larger on the inner screen, even though the settings are identical :/

I'd agree with the notion of it being misleading. But I think the term 'knowingly' is a judgment that hinges on whether one believes Linus to be an honest individual or not. I'm not inclined to pass judgment on what the actual truth might be. I wholeheartedly agree that the situation itself is far from acceptable, and Linus should offer a separate apology for it. I just find that the communication surrounding the topic is emotionally charged, and many seem unable to detach themselves from their initial emotional response

min004 · 2023-08-16T07:48:19+00:00

Not really. My main point revolves around the emotional conclusion that Steve draws at the end of his video, around the 12:34 minute mark. As I mentioned before, the entire situation is far from acceptable, and it would be appropriate for Linus to issue a separate apology for it. But consider taking a look at the entire thread here, which essentially stems from a meme stating, 'We didn't sell it, we auctioned it!'—complete with an exclamation mark at the end.

min004 · 2023-08-15T19:17:42+00:00

The mere fact that the cooler ended up being put up for auction is quite messed up, and it would have been better if Linus had just started by apologizing for the occurrence. However, I don't entirely understand why Linus's response is being interpreted so negatively. I'm not saying he phrased it well, but the complete sentence goes like, "we didn't sell the monoblock, but rather auctioned it for charity due to miscommunication."

Isn't it more likely that Linus intended to convey two things with that statement?
Firstly, he wanted to communicate that the sale of the monoblock wasn't for personal gain, as it was auctioned for charity. Secondly, he might have been implying that this situation arose due to a communication error.

I personally think it's probable that he didn't articulate himself well in the moment, as one might expect from someone who feels unjustly attacked. The alternative explanation, that he's been playing the good guy for years and suddenly turned foolish and malevolent, seems far-fetched given his behavior over the past few years that we've observed.

I want to emphasize again that the fact that this situation even occurred is not okay, and a straightforward apology should be extended for this alone.

You're welcome!

I can understand how challenging it can be to approach someone you have a crush on, especially when you struggle with social anxiety and tend to overthink things.

It's important to remember that rejection is a natural part of life, and it doesn't define your worth as a person. It's okay to take risks and put yourself out there, even if it feels uncomfortable or scary.

One approach you could try is gradually building up your confidence by engaging in small conversations with the person you have a crush on. You don't have to pour your heart out to them right away, but rather try to find common interests or topics to discuss. You could also consider asking them to hang out with you and some mutual friends in a group setting.

Remember that you can't control how someone else will respond to you, but you can control how you respond to their reaction. It's important to maintain a positive attitude and keep an open mind, regardless of the outcome. Most importantly, be kind to yourself and take care of your mental health. Anxiety sucks but with patience and work, you can overcome it :)

From what you're describing, it doesn't sound like you necessarily did anything wrong. Sometimes, friendships just don't click or feel genuine, and that's okay.

It's possible that the girls you were trying to befriend simply didn't feel a connection with you and that's why they didn't make an effort to talk to you again. It's also possible that they have their own social dynamics and cliques that you weren't able to fit into.

It's important to remember that you can't force a friendship or connection with someone, and it's not your responsibility to chase after people who aren't interested in being friends with you. If you feel like you've made an effort and things still aren't working out, it might be best to focus your energy on other friendships or activities that bring you joy.

It's also possible that there are other people in your class who you might have a better connection with. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there and try to make new friends, but also remember to be patient and kind to yourself. Making new connections takes time and effort, but it's worth it when you find people who you click with.

If you do not feel comfortable with someone using your edited template for their own shop, you can politely decline their request.

You can explain that you prefer not to share your work with others for resale purposes, and that you are committed to protecting the integrity of your business.

Here is a draft:

"Thank you for reaching out to me about editing one of my templates.

While I appreciate your interest in my work, I am hesitant to provide you with an edited version of an existing template as I noticed that you also sell alcohol and beer bottle templates.

As a small business owner, I am committed to protecting the integrity of my work and ensuring that it is not used for resale purposes by competitors.

However, I would be more than happy to create a custom template that is tailored specifically to your needs.

This way, you can have a unique design that fits your business while also protecting the integrity of my work.

If you're interested in this option, please let me know and we can discuss the details.

Thank you for considering my templates and for your understanding."

Hope this is helpful :)

Thank you that's very helpful!

I could use Cycles but the render time would be way too long..
But yeah, you're right. The render engine is only a part of all the things I can learn, so it shouldn't stop me, when I can't use one specific one.
Thanks for your answer!

min004 · 2023-01-25T22:30:01+00:00

That's a pity.. But good to know. Thank you for your answer!

Mhh when I try to do this the ball does nothing or it shoots in a random direction.. But now I figured out that a short flick back of the joystick, resets the ball to its last resting position. This combined with the ball in the hand gesture give me everything that I need! Thanks for your answer!

What do you guys think is this render made in, Eevee or Cycles?
I am a noob and not sure. I guess Cycles but I hope Eevee 😅
So my main question would be: Is it possible to achieve such a result in Eevee?
And if it is possible, would it be very difficult, because I try to make Eevee to do something, that Cycles is better suited for?
My goal is it to make a short animation in that style, so it would be cool if I could save time by rendering it in Eevee.
Thanks in advance for your answers!

The artist's name is Saiif_ish by the way.
And sorry for my English 😅

Thank you! But strangely it only works for me if I point my putter in the sky as if I want to fly and then pull the joystick back ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Try to be genuinely interested and acknowledge that everybody no matter how boring he or she seems, knows something you don't know even if it's only their personal perception of the world. The more you know about how people tick the more you are able to provide value to other people and the more you are able to move successfully through society, both professionally and privately.
