Saw your newest vid and shaking your hand about meleeframe. Most people believe warframe is a third person shoot however in my eyes, this is wrong it's a hack and slash.

Anyway!!! I've only got like 200hours, started in like 2016 but my computer couldn't run it well so I had to give up until more recently when I got a new one, so my ability to KNOW thing in game is rather limited. Regardless I'm slowly trying to figure out how to turn khora into a blender.

Lovingly calling it my feral berserker build. Baseline I'm getting using hunter mod set and pack leader mod (<- that's already made it so venny is undying), the hope is i can build into something where i can chargein and beat things with a stick till it stops moving without getting myself turned into strawberry jam. Haven't settled on what weapons I'm doing yet, but I'm more the type that prefers meandering through the game anyway.

Will this build be good? Probably not. Will I find it entertaining for dicking around? Oh yes definitely. And that all you can really ask for.

if you're interested in making venari go apeshit, might i recommend... a silly little kitgun arcane?

it gets a little dumb. unfortunately it seems best with temporary summons like caliban's squad which snapshot the buff on entry.

that said, khora also gets to enjoy the helminth with impunity because subsuming over venari just locks her into attack posture.

abilities that let you imbue you or your allies with elemental damage are particularly funny on venari & whatever other companions you're bringing to the fight.

for maximum flavor i have been using my khora with verdilac & the full nira mod load out to make her slam attacks horrifying, also.

they fixed the damage formula on slam attacks a few months ago and, oh! it's a treat with tennokai heavy attacks!

Major Study Project - Week 04

Reflective evaluation

It is a long time coming, and I am very delighted to say I have completed my project now. That is probably the biggest and hardest project I have ever done and I am proud to say this project can define me as a digital artist. I also feel I have known myself more by working on this big project.

During past three months, except the week of vacation, I work everyday for my project, and averagely around 6-7 hours, sometimes 10 hours efficiently each day.

Here comes the first question, what gives me this motivation?

Passion

Doing a project certainly there are something that are less favourable for you. For example, do I really love programming? Probably not. I don't hate it but also not a big fan. It was really a painful experience for a beginner to do different kinds of new functions and debugging by programming. However, I can still highly concentrate on doing programming. The main reason passion on creative work. I know those programming proccess will bring me a great artefact, and this pushes me to fix every difficulty I faced. At many times, I want to give up the programming proccess, but when I thought about how much I want my artefact be completed, then I kept doing it. In my mind, I just want to get improved in different aspects for my project and make a project that can define me as a digital artist.

This taught me that when you are passionate on something, those difficulties you face will not be a big problem. Passion is everything you need.

Anxiety

I realise one of my biggest motivation is anxiety. When I encounter a bug, I will pay 100% effort to fix it until I find out the solution. It is because I was so worried that I couldn't finish the project.

Besides, I am kind of a perfectionist or stubborn on problem solving. When I am facing a problem, I will prefer to fix it immediately and until it is solved. Even though I can fix it tomorrow and I still have time, I just don't like the feeling that I will be sleeping or eating with some problems ongoing. To be honest, I don't think this habbit is an advantage, and it needs to be changed. Because this habbit will hurt me in the long run, that I may forget to eat or sleep. I should not work for anxiety, but passion.

Media softwares

I realise I can concentrate much more when I am working in a media software like Blender, Unreal Engine 5 etc. It is because I always know what to do next and effectively locking me into my work. This can be a reminder for me in the future to allocate my working time.

Sef-improvment

Besides, I would like to mention about my improvement. During the proccess, I always ask myself what should a digital media arts master student's artefact should be like? How artists improve themselves? What are the most important skills for us?

At the early stage, I was quite panic since I know nothing about creating a game in Unreal Engine. I watched tonnes of tutorials online, but still it won't be as 10% efficient to learn by literally doing it. Then I came up with so many questions when I started, and some of them I couldn't find solution online. So, I decided to ask for help, and thankfully my major study teacher introduced me a tutor - David Tree, that he gave me some tutorials each week and solved my problems each time.

Sometimes it is not just about how much effort you put in self-learning, but you need some fundamental guide to figure out the nature of certain realm, espcially with limited time.

After few weeks of guiding from David, I started to fixed the problems myself. Those problems are different with the ones I have encountered before in video editing/3D modelling/graphic design etc. Those questions I got mostly have no one raised on the internet, which means I can't directly find out the answer.

In the problems solving period, in some case I realise when there is no solution offered by others, then I can be the one who create one. Keep thinking in a computer logic and I was lucky enough to solve them all. Also, try to find some similar examples close to my situation and it will help sometimes.

So, how can we improve ourselves as an artist? No matter you are a student or a creative talent, you always need referencing to improve, and internet is a very convenient place for us to get inspiration. Pinterest or Art Station can provide tonnes of high quality examples. Self learning is one of the most important skill for a master student in terms of longevity.
