I feel I'm better at trying to imitate reality instead of doing too outlandish creative things

Cheat sheet is a good idea, we've been spoiled with new games including maps, need to get back to our roots with dungeon mapping =)

Patience is your ally

reltz Trust me we all get the level of ambition and the frustration of not being able to meet it, just keep on truckin' and I promise if you stick with it and strive to improve you'll do great things.

A simple sword is a good choice. Though for a beginner 'simple' is likely going to feel overly difficult. Patience is key

I was working on a simple sword, which I figured would be easy enough >.<

The first thing I modeled outside of a tutorial or course was a PS1 memory card lol.

In part I want this class to be additional camaraderie to ease frustration. Knowing we're all in this together should help stay motivated and get answers/guidance. Doing it alone can be rough

mmonaloren Welcome

reltz specifically to the hotkey confusion. Find a small notpad and jot down the ones you're commonly getting messed up. It will actl like your cheat sheet until it turns to muscle memory.
