Trying to sharpen my reading skills, and so far I have read these books:

  • Sherlock Holmes (not all of his stories)
  • Arsene Lupin
  • Sherlock vs Arsene

Still reading the last book, didnt finish it, and its chapters are much longer than the last 2 books, but they are interesting non the less.

Besides reading, my programming skills are also one of my priorities that I seek to improve.I started with flutter. Do message me if you feel like you can help 🙂

Did I mention that I am also learning 3d Modeling?Not the best at it but I can model basic stuff.

Other than that, I want to start storywriting too, because I love good stories, and I want to make a story game!

Anyway, Feel free to message me, I dont mind saying hello!

  • [UPDATE #1] How do I get good at lighting

  • Thanks for the resource, I will check it out!

  • [UPDATE #1] How do I get good at lighting

  • But how do I apply it? using an emissive material just makes the lightning seem flat and increases the brightness of the entire scene.

    Or did you mean something else?

  • [UPDATE #1] How do I get good at lighting

  • Okay will do some tweaking, thanks!

  • [UPDATE #1] How do I get good at lighting

  • I like to use the sky texture as its really easy to control Alternatively you could mimic it by adding a 2nd lower brightness sun light, turn the angle to 180° and change the colour to blue. This recreates the ambient light effect of the sky in daylight pretty nicely when paired with a lower angle sun light

    Will give it a try.

    Strategically placed glossy and metallic materials will help reflect light around your scene to highlight certain details

    Hmm, I wish I knew where to place them. I have no idea how to make use of reflecting light

    Anyway, thank you!

  • [UPDATE #1] How do I get good at lighting

  • Ugh, I hate references but its the only way I will learn how to even do lighting.

    HDRIs seem like a good base, but I still need to have some light source to hide/show foreground/background.

    As for using real world scales, how do I even manage to do that? and why is it important. Also, how will I know how strong in watt light sources are?

    With Cycles, you get decent lighting in one step

    I am using cycles, eevee is fast, but needs a proper setup

    Either way, Thank you for the advice.

  • [UPDATE #1] How do I get good at lighting

  • Thanks for the advice, I assume searching up "3-point lighting" is what I need to do to understand what it is about.

    think of an object that is casting light onto the humanoid and place it into the scene (a neon sign, light spilling from a rooftop access door, etc) everything would fit together just a bit better.

    Sure thing

    Thank you, again!

  • I am annoyed with how women characters are sexualized in games

  • Of course, but I am annoyed that they are doing it. It is wrong, at least for me, and so knowing that this keeps, and will keep happening doesnt help.

  • I am annoyed with how women characters are sexualized in games

  • Yeah my bad, too low of a sample to judge. Really sorry. I watched one season, about 20 episodes, each episode is like 20 minutes.

  • I am annoyed with how women characters are sexualized in games

  • I am annoyed with how women characters are sexualized in games

  • Oh I get it now. 👍️

  • I am annoyed with how women characters are sexualized in games

  • I am struggling to accept what you just said, but it does make sense.If it was frown upon, then such dirty designs wouldnt have existed.

    Its unfortunate that because I refuse to accept this pornification, I have become in the "minority"

  • I am annoyed with how women characters are sexualized in games

  • I am talking about sexualization and pornification.

    Too much of those is very common in games, and they contribute nothing to the fantasy game / story.

  • I am annoyed with how women characters are sexualized in games

  • Now I know why it sells, people like you exist. Please, can you tell me why you dont feel bad for it?

    Doesnt sexualization just make you disgusted? if not, do you know why?

  • I am annoyed with how women characters are sexualized in games

  • Look, if this was in a romance novel, then it would make sense, you go watch porn and expect the actors to look humble, makes no sense.

    But if it was in everyday media, like how its the case right now, then I believe this becomes an issue, a big issue.

    (I copy pasted my comment from a previous thread)

  • I am annoyed with how women characters are sexualized in games

  • Generalization doesnt make me feel better.

    Right now, the only thing I can do is stand against it and boycott. But I am losing hope for that too. 😣

  • I am annoyed with how women characters are sexualized in games

  • And why shouldn’t it be? Women are humans too with dreams and desires for more than the average

    Look, if this was in a romance novel, then it would make sense, you go watch porn and expect the actors to look humble, makes no sense.

    But if it was in everyday media, like how its the case right now, then I believe this becomes an issue, a big issue.

  • I am annoyed with how women characters are sexualized in games

  • This doesnt make it okay. Its still bad, and makes me disgusted. Just because they reversed the gender that this applies to doesnt change it.

  • I am annoyed with how women characters are sexualized in games

  • I dont watch anime (I watched only one season), but its clear that this problem also applies to anime.

    Anime is a good medium of art/entertainment, but these common practices just make me pull my hair. what the fuck does a women with a bikini trying to have a suggestive talk with main character have to do with the story of an investigator trying to find the murderer?!
