So I've been getting a lot of suggestions concerning more shapes being added to Modelbench... what it has currently is all it's going to have.(Cubes, surfaces, and 3D surfaces.) The model system that was introduced in 1.1.0 was primarily built around Minecraft models and how their UV mapping works with textures and how they determine the geometrical appearance of shapes.

People are putting more effort into April fools shitposts than their actual animations.

my stylus stopped working so no art for a while :/ maybe i'll post some old stuff or something later 

I'm coming for you @Nimi

Modelbench is absolutely broke for me right now. I'll just wait for a more updated version.
But hey, it looks fancy

Steve is looking pretty swol.

A heartfelt message to all my followers:
 
 
 
Why?

objective perfection is unattainable by any mere mortal being. criticism is not hatred, and requesting that no criticism be provided is a tactic that'll only garner negative feedback.
everybody has to start somewhere, and most people usually don't come out of the gate with a full-fledged masterpiece. in order to improve yourself and your skills, you must reflect on your work, learn from your mistakes, and refine your style with each creation.

Insisting that your work is perfect, and getting actually mad at people who tell you otherwise, will not help you improve as a content creator. This forum is not for perfect work. This forum is for advice and criticism. If you don't listen to their valid suggestions on how to make your work better, your work won't get better. It's not "hate". I'm telling you right now, "hate" does not exist on these forums. "Hate" is always, always an exaggeration from someone who takes things the wrong way. There is never, ever going to be someone hating on you for absolutely no reason. The only reason it seems like people are hating on you is because you think your work is perfect. And when anyone tries telling you about mistakes to fix, it increases your self-defensiveness. You're becoming aggressive for no reason, it's not healthy for you or your future career. Call me what you will, pretend I'm "hating" on you. But I will tell you right now, you're going down the wrong path.

Wow, look at that! That's definitely a first! Couldn't thank you guys enough for that! I really don't deserve this. 
 
(btw, since people seem to be enjoying my post so much I'm going to link it again for those who still missed it)

Holy shit! My first animation just hit a thousand views, I'm so freaking happy, thank you all!

Hey I'm a Popular Contributor.
As if I've contributed anything.

Okay okay okay I've been making a lot of status updates about amateurs on the forums so I might as well slap this one on.
"Hate" is defined as different things nowadays, which means a lot more can be passed off as such. Criticism is not hate. If someone does not like something you made, don't tell yourself "Nahh they're just hatin'." Well, all hate is based off of something. Just like all exaggeration is based on truth. If someone doesn't like what you made, find out why. Otherwise you'll never improve yourself.
And also be careful of who's giving the criticism. Nowadays on the forums I see a lot of new people telling other new people that what they made was good, when it really wasn't, and neither is the content they make. If people who don't know what they're doing either tell you you're doing just fine, it's not reliable and will not improve you whatsoever. And to the other side of it: don't tell people what's good when you have negative reputation for what you've been making. Of course, be confident in yourself, but also don't ignored people with legitimate criticisms.
hope you enjoyed my powerpoint god bless have a safe drive home

Also one more thing. Sorry for the double status but
To all the newbies out there, "smooth animation" is not something that can be taught. You can't watch a 20 minute YouTube tutorial and call it a day. In fact it's naive to think that you can learn everything you need to know just by watching tutorials. There's not how art works. You put work into art. Animation is art.
Smooth animation is something you achieve by experience. You earn it, not learn it. When making art, you can't just ask some other artist "Hey, could you record yourself painting that picture again so I can do it just like you?" And the problem is that to some of you that sentence might not even sound stupid.
Art is not "Hey what are they doing on theirs?" Art is "Hey, what can I change about what I'm doing to make mine work better?" Of course I'm not saying using others as influence is bad. Inspiration is definitely important. Copying someone else's techniques, however, is never beneficial. You will not grow as an artist. You will not learn for yourself how to further the quality of your work, and you will be sorely unprepared for the real deal.
 
Thanks guys I'm going to bed.
