Hi, I'm JtingF you can call me JF if you want and
This character's name is RF. Though this video isn't about him. It's about me
he's just here for
aesthetic purposes I
Want to talk a bit about Who I am how I got here. And what's next for this channel. I
used to be very afraid of sharing anything personal online, but here goes~ I
Was actually born in America, so that makes me an American, USA,USA
but both my parents are Taiwanese, so I'm Taiwanese too
My parents traveled to America to give birth to me because at that time there was a large
possibility of China attacking Taiwan
Yeah, it was the unsure times
We later went back to Taiwan when I was 10 years old
because my
Parents had a divorce
Now I'm an engineering student in Taiwan and I'm on my fifth year of college
Yeah
Not a very good number
How I got to this point has a bit to do with who I am and the Taiwan
education system
You see I was always interested in engineering, To me It's the closest thing to magic that we have,
Plus it's real !
So
when I was in high school, I chose to go to a
Vocational high school, it's like high school, but more focused on developing professional skills
There I had a great time
I learned a lot of the skills I have today there was even a way to get a college college
scholarship by getting to the top 3 in a competition
in professional skills
Yeah
So, yeah, I chose that way because let me focus on what I like which is making stuff I
Spent my last year of high school preparing for the competition
While the other students were focused on studying
Yeah, we asians do that a lot,
First forward to my second year of college
Hmm. I was doing horribly I had a huge gap in knowledge on stuff
Unrelated to engineering and I could barely focus on most of the classes that were related in making stuff
so I chose to devote my time into attending different robotics competitions because they were just
more fun for me
It was a great creative outlet for me, but deep down. I knew that I was only stalling
It was around this time that I went to a psychologist and was diagnosed with ADHD
The meds really do help with my attention
But causes bad heartburn for me because I have heart issues
The heart issues got pretty bad so I had to stop them(the meds)
This was when I started to feel really hopeless and I felt like a failure at that time
You see in Taiwan and most Asian countries people only believe in two things money,
And what kind of diploma you have
in family reunions people would constantly brag about what great
school their child has got in
Or how well their child is doing in school and most companies won't hire you if you don't have at least a bachelor's degree
Even for something that obviously shouldn't require one like baking, social skills and stuff
My grandma even looked me straight in the eyes and said
Oh my ADHD is only an excuse and I wasn't trying hard enough
Which I believe to some degree
This all calls me to spiral into a depressed state
Which obviously didn't help
It was around that time that I started my first head build
Which is the old head, the gray one
It was a build for myself
A way of making myself know that despite sucking as hard as I am. I can still create something I
Still remember the first time I put it on I felt a sense of
Genuine joy and accomplishment that I haven't felt for a long time
so I decided to upload videos of it to share that sense of wonder I got from it and
That was the start of this channel. I
Originally thought this thing was like a super niche thing like only like a
hundred people would see
because yeah, I think it's interesting but I
Didn't know as much people would like it. So
Thank you everybody who's interested in my stuff you keep me going
Okay that story done now on to the future good stuff as
You may have noticed the tutorials have been halted for some time
There are two reasons for that. First is I want to create a tutorial that would actually help
Second is that I really can't prioritize it over stuff like taking Commission's because it doesn't help me become
Financially independent. I
Currently have to both worry about school and how to pay for it
That said, I do really want to help you with your own project I
Actually have a video about modeling the visor already recorded, but I didn't upload it
Because I thought it was bad
CAD modeling isn't something that you can just pick up in a short amount of time
People who already know it won't need the video and people who don't know it can't benefit from it because it's not beginner friendly
So I've decided to create a new model that's beginner friendly and share it on patreon
All my tutorials from here on will use those specific files and I'll try to update them as often as I can
Probably set up a store so you can buy the bases of it, too
This way the tutorials can be more
beginner friendly
Since I can tell you exactly what you do
because everyone can use the same bases and
I can prioritize it more if I don't need to worry about funds
Currently only the visor file is up
But I'll try to make the rest as soon as possible
Thank you for listening to my rambling and
Consider supporting me if you want to see more weird stuff and how it's made
There are definitely more weird stuff planned
This will be the file that you'll get on patreon, I
Later decided that the video about how I drew it like it's finished anyway
So it's uploaded to patreon too, if you happen to see it, please tell me if it helped or not. Yeah
So I'll just draw some eyes on this model to make it look more finished
Make you have an idea of what it will look like
And
Hey, so this model will be on patreon it's in beta so yeah
Bye bye
