[@ariseabiola4982]

I can not thank you enough Mike Hermes... this made my 10 models in year 1 for my modelling project. Thank you very much

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thank you

[@SuperrSamrat]

Hello Sir !! I must say that Your tutorials are really AWESOME ! :) It have helped me so much. Sometimes in my Animation class my teacher also gets surprised by my output, Cause I was not used to be good in Maya. However As I started to follow your channel , i improved . so THANK You :) I am highly grateful to You cause the way You teach is quite easy to understand n simple to implement. Wish You lots of Success .. Greetings from India :)

[@MHTutorials3D]

+zaprielesto Thank you so much, I am glad you are improving in your skills and that I could contribute a little bit :-) Mike

[@kodycroff6557]

Nevermind, I figured out the shortcuts you used and I think I figured out the extruding thing. Thnaks!

[@orenji196]

Thank you, thank you a million times for these videos, they're life savers!

Tq...my wine bottle is ready now🥂🥂

[@aliasghar3785]

So helpful i completed my project with this video thank you so much😊

[@MHTutorials3D]

Very welcome

[@user-pu8il2xq7u]

great tutorial. thank you. I didn't read the comments bellow but I noticed after your first render your microphone recording changed at approx. 14:55 than it changed back to normal on your second render.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Konstantin Abramov-Heffron Sorry about that

[@doyeonsung3820]

I wish i could 'like it' thousand times more !

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thank you !

[@johnmurphy1248]

Excellent tutorial, well explained, easy to follow. Thanks.

[@manonjourdain7432]

you saved my life, thank you so much

[@VandalVortex]

Great tutorial, constantly keeps reaffirming the commands for each tool for everyone to remember. Questions: Do you have to look at the keyboard when deciding what tool to use or do you have a hand position that makes it easier to remember where all the keys your most likely to use are ? When I have to control or shift anything, I feel I need to look down so I was wondering what your set up is.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+VandalVortex Yes, I constantly repeat commands ( and some people find that annoying ) but I do that exactly for the reason you mentioned. As for looking at the keyboard, not really. But I have been sitting behind a keyboard since 1983 :-)

[@DaGinGraphics]

Very helpful, cheers Mike.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Mark Jordan Thanks Mark

[@hopakola]

Thank you so much for the tutorial it worked great

[@MHTutorials3D]

Very welcome

[@awwnawmang]

appreciate you sharing this. i needed a quick how-to on the rendering part. v2016 no less!!

[@JJDocx]

Thanks, this video was very useful for me :D

[@product_six8569]

Thanks for the vid. Question though? What dimensions do you generally save your textures out as? 256? 2048? Also, how would you feel about making a tutorial on making a (rugged or cracked street texture for maya?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Product_Six When baking textures on object I usually will go 2K When rendering a still image it depends on what I am going to use it for. As for your tutorial request, are you looking for a cracked street texture or a cracked street model ?

[@product_six8569]

+Mike Hermes, A cracked Street model would be better than just a texture I'm assuming. I am going for hi res environment. I don't know how to go about it other than maybe sculpt geometry tool....idk.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Product_Six Will it be animated ? ( If so, low poly is important and it would probably be more textures than modeling )

[@ZillasMaintenanceServices]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@MHTutorials3D]

You are very welcome

[@yannicksprenger9563]

This was really helpful, thank you very much :D

thank you very much for your tutorial ^^

[@MHTutorials3D]

Very welcome

[@Princess793]

Hey, Thanks for the video! Just a few questions; So, for the material "mia_material.." did you have to download it ?because I'm using Maya 2016, and it doesn't show up as an option. Also, I do not have "Mental ray" either (I'm assuming that may be why I do not have the "mia_.." material). And finally, I believe when you go into "render Settings" you have "Commons" "Quality" "Configuration" etc. I only have "Commons" is there a reason behind that as well? Phew, sorry to drown you in a million questions, but thanks again!

[@MHTutorials3D]

Well a lot of questions :-) Here we go : 1.Mental Ray is a plugin that you need to download and install ( www.autodesk.com ) Here are instructions : mhtutorialskzbin.info07/04/q-i-cant-find-mental-ray-in-autodesk-maya/ Once it is installed you need to activate it in the plugin manager. With that done you now have Mental Ray and the MIA material 2.I render in mental Ray, that is why I have more options. Once you have completed step 1 you will have the same. Mike

[@Princess793]

Thanks so much!!

[@MHTutorials3D]

No problem

[@GutoLabbriArtes]

Valeu pela boa aula man! Estou estudando com afinco este seu vídeo maravilhoso.

+Guto Labbri I am Canadian / Dutch and don't speak Portuguese at all :-)

[@MegaPagez]

Hey Mike, I’m subscribed to your channel now and I thank you for the video. Just have a question because I feel as though there are times I may insert to many edge loops to hold to many edges together. It’s that actually possible and will that effect your UV layouts?

[@areslopez441]

thank you for the video. How can I put a liquid inside?

[@missstephanie5705]

Awesome tutorial yet again. I've got a weird problem though... after I render, my bottle and lights all look great but my label won't show up. Its just a black square. Any ideas?

[@kapwinng]

Hi Mike, another great tutorial and exactly what I'm doing at the moment, saved me time on the inside of the bottle, genius, can't believe I've been drawing the inside too! I'm following the technique of UV mapping the label on a slightly tapered bottle but the circular image I'm using is getting heavily squashed horizontally, any ideas? Thanks

[@MHTutorials3D]

Is your UV shell flat and even ?

[@TheLikenota]

awesome tutorial you have any for vray?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Tutorials ?

[@TucknRoll34]

This video was great! Thank you!

[@milagros104]

I'm super new to maya. Once u created the product bottle can u bring the bottle to after effects to animate it?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Gladys Jahn-Sulca Yes you can Gladys ( but you can also animate it in Maya )

[@milagros104]

+Mike Hermes I need a bottle for a motion graphics commercial so I want to import it to after effects.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Gladys Jahn-Sulca That works

[@40yrs]

AWESOME! Thanks!

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Demetrius McClain You are very welcome

[@spaceworm123]

This is great, Doesn any1 know of good tutorials for texturing? navigating the textures is confusing and the UV editor. I am pretty sure I don't have the glass material. Is that something I need to import?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+liam cosgrove Tha glass material is part of Mental Ray, a plugin you can download from autodesk.com

[@spaceworm123]

+Mike Hermes cool! thank u!

[@خيالالظل-ع2ل]

amazing

[@MHTutorials3D]

+‫خيال الظل‬‎ Thank you

[@kodycroff6557]

I'm having trouble extruding it up and scaling it. It doesn't all move uniformly when I extrude it nor when I try to scale it in as the bottle curves up. Can you help me? P.S. What are the shortcuts you used to select the row of faces on top of the bottle as well as the all the top edges? I can just manually shift click and select them all but it'd be much nicer to know your shortcut if possible. Thanks!

[@MHTutorials3D]

+K Plays Hit shift and period ( you know, the thing at the end of a sentence )

[@jackzhao9868]

I have the same problem as you in extruding the top of the bottle.. They all move uniformly

[@rashizamora319]

I have the same problem

[@GutoLabbriArtes]

How do I run Maya 2016 without giving problems? because the following msg appears " A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. The windows closed the program and will notify you if a solution is available. " Already grateful for empathy.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Guto Labbri Hi Guto, as I don't know what the error is I don't know the solution, sorry

[@zoelamp4840]

omg, so amazing

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Zulkifli Ampatuan Thank you

[@imin2461]

ik this is a very old video but how did you only choose that face at 2:00? when i double click it selects the entire cylinder

[@k2c30569]

sir excellent tut but please give a tut on maya bonus tool.i am in big trouble to do texturing.please sir

[@kodycroff6557]

Sorry to keep asking questions, but now I have everything finished and it renders only a black frame. Any ideas how to fix that? I made sure to follow you exactly

[@MHTutorials3D]

+K Plays Did you render in Mental Ray ?

[@kodycroff6557]

Yes sir.

[@kodycroff6557]

thanks for the help good tutorial but next time can you try not too mumble because sometimes I think you said a certain tool and I go there and can't find it thanks for the help :D

[@MHTutorials3D]

Sorry

[@jeremyking905]

I don't have the mia material x when he assign glass to it....... How do i fix/get it?

[@jasonmello3667]

Did ytou ever find a solution?

[@lionelcolomar4638]

not me, how?

[@josephkeller2521]

ya, lemme know if you find anything. I'm using Maya 2015 so maybe I don't have this free material installed.

[@jasonmello3667]

Install the plug in and enabke it in preferences

[@ishadawaher-bakhos1048]

you will need mental ray, download it and enable it in the plugin manager (windows-setting- plugin manager). Also, if you have Maya 2017 you won't have the mia material for some time, because mental ray isn't in Maya anymore, and you'll have to wait until they update their software for Maya 2017

[@jackzhao9868]

How did you set up your extrude? I don't understand when you switch g and w repeatedly to build the curve......help TAT

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Zhao Jack When you select the top face and hit extrude you use W to pull up, R to scale to make it narrower. Then when you hit G you reapeat the last command ( extrude ) and you use W and R again

[@jackzhao9868]

I know I need to repeat W and R and G, but what I met is that my w and R doesn't work like yours in the video... Mine moves and changes uniformly but not independently

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Zhao Jack It sounds like you have the entire object selected and not just the top face ?

[@ashokkhatri41]

Thanks nice tutorial, but there is a problem i don't have "mia" material in my Maya so please me to find it for making glass texture.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Ashok Kumar Here you go, read this : mhtutorialsyoutube.wordpress.com/2015/07/04/q-i-cant-find-mental-ray-in-autodesk-maya/

[@kaushikchelladurai5770]

Mike Hermes.. I don't have reference image and wine label image! will you please sent me the link for that??

[@ekwinparadika3574]

Hello Sir, could you make tutorial for beer foam with Maya? i really appreciate it if you do Thank You

[@nickmill5077]

Hey, Mike, I have a question. Why does my maya 2016 work differently than yours? Also mine is missing some things that yours has, such as the mesh tabs. Whenever i tried to scale the edges it scaled the entire bottle. Also, whenever i clicked on the cylinder polygon tool it opened a pre-made cylinder for me. Please help me and thanks.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Nick Mill Nick, to start with. Did you install any Service Packs onto Maya 2016 ? ( I have ) That may explain some of the differences. Secondly, make sure you dont have Maya LT instead of Maya. Lastly, to avoid the pre -made cylinder go to Create - Polygon primitives - Interactive creation and turn it on.

[@GamerCubed20]

So, i can't find the material preset you used. Could you show us how to make one? Thanks!

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Sinclair Hudson The MIA material is a Mental Ray material. You need to download, install and activate Mental Ray to get the MIA material ( www.autodesk.com )

[@yerrymias1944]

i have question, i already tried making this bottle. but when i tried to scale it, it wouldn't let me make a perfect round, otherwise it became bend. please explanation. thank you

[@kana_leee]

When I put the mia to my bottle Why my bottle's color change into black but not like your color in video. Please answer my question, thank you.

[@MHTutorials3D]

If your render turns out totally black it is a well know problem with mental Ray in Maya 2016 that can be fixed with a Service Pack install

[@kana_leee]

Thank you very much... You solve my tough problem. love you

[@baldoski]

Everything ok but the label is stretched on the end of both left and right side. In uv editor it shows me that the shells are more thinner when it comes to the edge. I saw some similar tutorial in 3ds and the guy was using Unfold option (though in Maya there is a tool with the same name but works differently, like for other purposes). In 3ds this option optimized shells in such a way that they were all the same width. After that he exported to psd, prepared label on the shell, imported it and stretching was no longer exist. Is there any possibility to do this optimized/unfolded shells in Maya? I couldn't find any clear answer and I feel lost...

[@h.m.pippalimayurabandaragu7871]

Thanks a lot!

[@MHTutorials3D]

+H.M.Pippali Mayura Bandara Gunarathne You are very welcome

[@DancingRaspberry]

How would you add this object to live-action footage? :) Would you import footage to maya, or is it possible to edit it in Premiere pro? :) I'm new to Maya :D

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Julie Hindbær Hi Julie, With Live Action footage you mean film ? ( not animation or game ) In that case it would be done with for example After Effects

[@DancingRaspberry]

+Mike Hermes Thanks! Then I'll use After Effects :D One last question: I have trouble downloading Maya 2016, but I can download Maya 2015, what are the major difference between the two, if I also want to make a wine bottle? :)

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Julie Hindbær Mainly the layout of the menu's and a few modeling improvements but you should be able to do it all in 2015

[@DancingRaspberry]

+Mike Hermes Awesome! Thank you so much for your help! :)

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Julie Hindbær You are very welcome Julie

[@aleron6538]

Hi Mike, if the texture is not square or rectangular, what should I do?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Put the texture on a semi transparent PNG image

[@aleron6538]

The polygons around the texture become transparent

[@frisca16]

how do i drag the cylinder and pull up the height and width like u did ? because everytime i do it is done as standard

[@MHTutorials3D]

+sawsan yusuf I don't understand what you mean

[@TheCharkikan]

How do u assing that material? is not a custom one right? did u created it?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Pit Zampraas It is a Mental Ray material. You need to download, install and load it before you can use it . Check www.autodesk.com

[@dhavalpatel2899]

I have to get material like thick beer bottle n rough transparent can u plz learn how to get it???

[@MHTutorials3D]

What renderer ?

[@BattlefieldZiege]

What if your logo is not perfectly squared? For example a rectangle? If you'd go with this lambert, you will see the ugly grey where the rectangle logo is transparent.

[@MHTutorials3D]

Create an alpha image with the logo

[@BattlefieldZiege]

Mike Hermes ah, the alpha fixes it by itself. Handy, thank you Sir!

[@MHTutorials3D]

Correct

[@Astrovic1]

why dont i have this material

[@ishadawaher-bakhos1048]

do you have the new Maya 2017? it comes with Arnold, and i'm not able to render a scene properly, let alone putting glass materials

[@MHTutorials3D]

I will do a tut on that soon...

[@Youngl3lood3]

Jesús Dawaher Bakhos Did you the tutorial on Arnold ?

[@ThePollutionPolice]

Thank You!

[@MHTutorials3D]

+ThePollutionPolice You are very welcome

[@aps-c1766]

Sir. Could you make video about. Liquid inside bottle. I already make it but somehow it failed.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Nemo Nautilus Stationary liquid ?

[@rashizamora319]

I cant select only the tp it selects the whole thing I think because when i do the R thing it affects the whole bottle. what could be done?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Not sure what you are asking here....

[@Ubertubermeister]

At 9.40 you "reselected faces" while your cursor was off the model...how did you do that...?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Ubertubermeister By hitting Ctrl+Z to go back a step

[@Ubertubermeister]

+Mike Hermes D'oh! of course - Thanks - I was hoping maybe there was some way to keep formerly selected faces in a subset to reselect later-

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Ubertubermeister You could but you would have to group them

[@frnc2461]

Is using curve tool an alternative way?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Franco Regala Yes, it could be ( see my video on how to create a chess piece in minutes ) but the end result won't be as good

[@frnc2461]

Mike Hermes oh okay, that would be all thanks! I'll subscribe :D

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Franco Regala Thanks

[@raulcollantes182]

when assigning material to the object, you search for mia_x, I cant find that preset when I search. Is that custom on your end. Thanks for this awesome video. -Raul

[@MHTutorials3D]

+raul collantes Raul, the Mia_x_material is a mental ray material and is a result of the mental Ray plugin. Here are instructions how to get it mhtutorialskzbin.info07/04/q-i-cant-find-mental-ray-in-autodesk-maya/ Mike

[@tusharsaha9787]

[@MHTutorials3D]

I am very sorry Tushar but I don't do characters

[@محمدالشاذلي-ف2ص]

my edges not going like yours when iam trying to scale like the wine bottle ...???

[@designstudiowelsch3015]

I´ve downloaded the .mel files (mia_materials) and put them into \documents\maya\2017\scripts\ !!! Then I try to import them in hypershade or add them as an ordinary material but they won´t appear...thanx a lot for your work

[@MHTutorials3D]

Did you activate the Mayatomr.mll in the plugin manager ?

[@designstudiowelsch3015]

no I haven´t yet and I don´t know how. Can you explain please?

[@freenemo5122]

Hi at 2:26 what's he saying? g to repeat? if i press g, nothing happens but show me "result: scale" on the bottom right, unfortunetly I'm allready stuck with that issue

[@tomg2999]

If pressing 'g' doesn't repeat for you, you can still move along the tutorial by repeating the step shown. ie in the case of extruding you would simply press ctrl+e (or manually select extrude) wherever Mike presses 'g'. Hope that helps!

[@ChristianMalle]

cylindrical mapping i'm ok with but i have a problem with wood textures. when i put the wood texture on the cylinder the texture doesn't "fit", there's a visible line between flats (top and bottom) and round side. is there a tutorial that explains that or can somebody help me out?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Christian Malle Christian, would will need a different wood texture for the top and bottom ( as in real life ) and then work on your color map in for example Photoshop to hide those seams

[@ChristianMalle]

+Mike Hermes i understand that but it's only in a straight cylinder object. what if i want something like this snow globe base www.infendo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/snow-globe.jpg. i want to texture it so it has that wood texture all over it (top and bottom) with a seamless feel of fake wood so it doesn't have separate top and bottom textures. if u understand what i mean.

[@MHTutorials3D]

OK, I understand. In this case you will have to tweak, unwrap and adjust your UV's to get a proper look and feel

[@ChristianMalle]

+Mike Hermes can u pls explain in more detail? do i unwrap top and bottom as separate UVs or do i have to unwrap the whole object as one UV map? do i still use cylindrical mapping ?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Christian Malle Christian, select a surrounding edge at the bottom ( out of sight ) and cut the edges there. Then do a Planar projection from the top and make sure you have two UV shells. One for the bottom and one for the top. Unwrap the one on the top. This should avoid stretching of the texture

[@DundalkMartialArts]

Where are you getting the materials from I don't have this

[@MHTutorials3D]

Google

[@DundalkMartialArts]

As in the shaders

[@Maxspeedtofast]

i cant seem to find the mia_material_x i dont have it on my list how can i get that please any help would be great

[@MHTutorials3D]

how to Create Waterfalls in maya

[@ishadawaher-bakhos1048]

for some reason, after I extrude the edge of the plane at 13:22, moving the edges makes the whole plane move up. Pretty weird.

[@ishadawaher-bakhos1048]

nevermind, I just had the softselection on because I was using it for the model. How silly

[@benvandenbulcke]

i can't find mia_material_x1 in my list of materials. How do i get it ?

No, MIA material is a Mental Ray default and you need to load mental Ray to get it.mhtutorialskzbin.info07/04/q-i-cant-find-mental-ray-in-autodesk-maya/

[@kodycroff6557]

[@myrusEW]

Ack. Whenever I try to Shift + Period, it goes through the walls and selects like half the bottle.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Chris Legaspi How many face rows are there ? And have you extruded the walls ?

[@myrusEW]

Mike Hermes There are 4. But when I go into face selection mode and select a face, it's like a spear and it selects every face in that angle, through the top. Sorry, I'm new to Maya and 3d modeling in general.

[@GutoLabbriArtes]

Boa tarde! Como faço para resolver este probleminha que está aparecendo quando iniciou o Maya. É isso... The shelf "Polygons" has items that cannot be read. The shelf will only display the items before the first unreadable item it finds. If you start Maya and save this shelf then you will lose the unreadable items. This will happen automatically if you have your preferences set to save the shelves on exit. Como faço para resolver isso? Me ajudem por favor. De já muito grato! Mostrar menos

i have no idea what you're doing at about 9:30 you don't explain very well... did you actually need to select the UV curve thing or did you goof? it seems to put a border around the area for no reason and you fight with it and it's never seen again, and you reselect all the faces like before you pushed it... i don't get it? what do

[@麥兜-w4d]

When I import the image plane, I don't know how to move it around. I can't select it. Very new beginner at this.

[@MHTutorials3D]

[@Keagan14541]

Hey. Question? Can you Model a Chibi. Thanks.

[@lonerlulu4906]

Can someone please post a link to the wine label he used.

[@MHTutorials3D]

Any label will work

[@samcraftYT]

That modeling technique taje actually way more time and dont even follow the proper shape or thickness of your reference. G+W all the way...

[@bs140598]

I am totally new in maya and related stuff and i cant understand the extrude portion between 2:10-2:20 whenever i try to increase the height only the selected portion increase not like yours need help regarding this.

[@MHTutorials3D]

Does you bottle have a single wall or double wall ? Did you select edge or face ?

[@bs140598]

Edge

[@bs140598]

can you please tell me how to navigate also?

[@CierraKennedyCosplayAnimeFreak]

Same here. I need help too. There's only one portion selected in mine. I even turned the "Keep faces on" option in the transformation tools modification. What do I do to extrude the row like yours?

[@bs140598]

I have found it out sir, if u want to extrude in row, Do like Hermes did, Extrude a bit, and then extrude it again, you will get multiple subdivisions after it, what u said "rows".

Hello sir. i'm kinda new in maya and i have learned many things thanks to you. i have done this tutorial and i've got same result except one thing and it is lable. This is my little work and the Error in the bottom. postimg.org/image/atoteqil5/ The jpg file loads fine when i place it in file location field. But i can't see it in viewport 2.0 while hardware render is on, and also when I begin a render, MentalRay comes back with an error relating to the file location or subtype. Any idea what's wrong? Thanks Again

[@MHTutorials3D]

Have you moved the image file to a different location ?

[@oosfadiri6989]

No Sir. i'm not that noob =]. File is still in it's location. i also tried to copy the file in some other locations and changed the address. but still not working. i guess the problem is related to my mental ray stuff. postimg.org/image/i0xg0axlz/ i had problem with finding and installing the main mental ray as you can see in the image above. But finally the last one, was the correct one. well... i'm new in maya. Maybe i need to uninstall Maya and all stuffs and re install it plus the correct mental ray. Thank you anyway sir. i wish the best for you. :)

[@devalshah]

can you upload the texture image file?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Deval Shah It's just a random label from Google. I didn't save it

[@devalshah]

okay. can you send the .mb file or .obj file

[@blackman7477]

i don't have mia_material what i do?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Mia_Material is no longer available

[@KevinAccetta]

I cannot for the life of me get mental ray to work... I do *not* have that option in the "windows > settings/preferences > plug-in manager" for mayatomr.mll which apparently gets mentalray to work. And I downloaded the plug-in, which I guess I need to extract to another folder, but it *doesn't* extract when I click "ok" to extract! Ahhh......

[@MHTutorials3D]

Are you sure you have full Maya and not Maya LT ?

[@KevinAccetta]

Mike Hermes Wow, first, thanks for the reply and an enormous thanks for your tutorials. They've helped me do the bottle and now a fork, and I'm sure I'll be watching more of them soon, so I really appreciate your videos! And I think I do. I downloaded the student version of Maya 2016. Maybe that version doesn't have it..?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Maya 2016 should have Mental Ray built in as the default renderer

[@KevinAccetta]

Mike Hermes well I don't know, but I certainly don't have the mayatomr.mll plug-in and can't find any materials when I type "mia" :/ Thanks for trying to help though. I've posted my concern on reddit, hopefully I'll find an answer there.

[@MHTutorials3D]

OK, good luck

[@ak1012010]

i cant find glass material mia_x

[@MHTutorials3D]

+ak1012010 It is a Mental Ray Plugin material. Download it from www.autodesk.com

[@MegaKosan]

I fucking love you.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+MegaKosan Well, thanks :-)

[@MegaKosan]

Mike Hermes You somehow managed to open my eyes to UV mapping ^^ UV mapping is something I have failed at for months now.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+MegaKosan And we all love UV mapping, right ? ( actually, everybody hates it )

[@chetina11]
