@linasworkroom Can I make a suggestion? A small rewrite could go a long way in the love scene. You could remove Asher’s initial “no”, instead of shushing him, have Jax ask, “Do you want me to stop?” Then Asher could answer, “No, don't stop.” Consent is sexy! :) Love these characters! ❤️

Week 1 Assignment of our Timing Class.
Instead of following rigid templates, our students choose references they want to study. This allows them to get the most out of the curriculum and target their specific goals.

@mr_hoggy She's stunning. Love her eyes, skin shader, and hair. Earrings are a small but wonderful touch. Thank you for sharing!

More progress in Intro to 3D today and we explored alphas! Instead of modeling a full butterfly or every single leaf, students learned how alpha maps can bring amazing detail with only textures! Next round, we keep pushing this environment forward. 🌿🦋🎨
