Fighting through tough times supposedly makes you a better person, specially if you adapt a very positive attitude. It also builds character to encounter and overcome hurdles in life.
These hurdles could be minor bumps in the eyes of others, but that does not matter. What matters is that you are facing the problem and that you must overcome it. Do not listen to others who seek to belittle your problems. Instead seek strength and guidance from those who want to see you succeed. Do not surround yourself with yes men, they won't bring you anywhere good.

[767] Windows User Name
I recently discovered that the cause of some errors when I use my 3D programs is because my Windows account uses the character "ñ" in it. Apparently some programs cannot understand that and it causes significant issues.
I discovered this because when I was trying to export to glTF using Substance Painter, it would always result in errors. After a couple of days of searching the internet for answers, I discovered the answer in, of all places, a 3ds Max forum.
I created a new user account and tried exporting again and it worked. So I fixed my local Windows accounts and now I am using an account that has no special characters.
Lesson learned: Next time I get a new workstation just use some witty nickname or drop the "ñ" and just use a regular "n."

[766] Learning New Software
I recently started learning Substance Painter by Allegorithmic. This is part of research we're doing for work. I think it's a bonus.
I was always curious about using this from my time in KLab Cyscorpions. I had seen our 3D modelers using this software for their personal projects and had gotten curious about it as well. Sadly things did not go as planned and I was not able to learn this during my time there. I had all but forgotten it until now.
Now I am taking the chance to learn this software, and I am enjoying it. I still have no idea if my modeling, unwrapping, and texturing techniques are still effective in the current state of 3D modeling. However I'm still giving it a go since I relish the opportunity to learn something new.
There are times it gets frustrating, but I can't be an old dog who refuses to learn new tricks.
