I decided to make a step-by-step list/chart showing how I make Krunker renders. Although I've made several different type of renders. So I will be showing the process of making a Youtube banner with a Krunker avatar with a Krunker map background.

1. Go to the Krunker viewer (https://krunker.io/viewer.html) and take a screenshot of the specific gun skin and (if asked) take screenshots of any hat items or back items requested by the client by using the sniping tool.
   
   
2. Edit the screenshots in paint.net (download link: https://www.dotpdn.com/downloads/pdn.html) by making them transparent using the magic tool.
   
   
3. Create a project in Mine-Imator (download link: https://www.mineimator.com/download) and then create a Minecraft player character with one of my Krunker skin textures (you can download them here, though there are a few I haven't made yet, like the crossbow class skin and the Carotine dye https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dXiyauh6RMJPUA3IvECHiUvTB2H3-Gfi/view?usp=sharing).
   
   
4. Create an item in Mine-Imator with the gun skin.
   
   
5. Make the gun skin's parent the right arm of the Minecraft character, then create more items of the hat and back items, and make the parents the body of the Minecraft character and the head of the Minecraft character.
   
   
6. pose the character.
   
   
7. Add 3D text with the client's username. It may be an image which you can make 3D by making it as an item, or a font, which you can make 3D when you create it as a font.
   
   
8. Remove the ground and save it as a transparent background PNG image. If I leave the ground, it will not make it transparent.
   
   
9. Import the background image you chose for the banner.
   
   
10. Import the transparent image of the Krunker render and overlay it onto the background image.
    
    
11. Copy just the character render (not the text) and paste him in a layer in between the background image and the first render.
    
    
12. Use the paint bucket tool and fill in the character layer completely black (you may have to do it several times if it has many dynamic colors).
    
    
13. Select the eraser tool, then go to Colors, then press More >>, then play around with the Opacity - Alpha panel (75 usually works best).
    
    
14. Erase the black character until it looks transparent. Sometimes you may have to do it several times until it looks like a shadow.
    
    
15. Stretch and or turn your "shadow" until the feet of the shadow touch the feet of the overlapping render. Then manipulate it to make it look like a shadow. ALWAYS pay attention to the background, as there may be shadows already. In which case, have your shadow point the same way.
    
    
16. Send your awesome picture to your client and take da moola!

I've been watching a YouTuber named Peter McKinnon. He's a professional photographer and videographer and makes amazing videos and takes stunning photos! He teaches how to be a photographer and how to take great videos, including editing, post, positions for photos, etc.
He uses a lot of Adobe, including Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere Pro, Audition, and After Effects. He's very descriptive with his tutorials, and probably the best teacher about photography I could find on Youtube.
I'd like to do some photography, and especially video editing, and I'd probably take pictures of around Lake California. What's also funny and what I enjoy about him is how Candian he is, the way he pronounces his "about"s and "sorry"s 😂
He's been on Youtube for about 5 years I believe, and has built up 4.47M subscribers!

Here's one of my favorite of his videos:

So, as you can probably guess from the title, I got my new computer, the Macbook Air! It's been working out great, and can run Adobe Audition pretty well. I haven't gotten any crashes or lag, and it loads the files fairly quickly. I've had it for a week now, and it's been holding up great! It has 128 GB storage, and I've only used about 5 GB. I'd like to test other programs like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Lightroom (those and Audition are the only Adobe softwares I use). Google works out fine as well. I haven't really tested out the camera very much, but I did take a quick look and it looks alright. Another thing I would/will test if it can handle my microphone. If it can, that'll really prove itself!

In the past few weeks, I've been considering getting a new computer, a laptop to be specific. It's not because my computer's not working, but that it's a desktop, so I can't bring it around with me to places if I want to edit or do my schoolwork. If I do, usually, my dad lets me take his computer laptop. Still, though it works for the essential needed apps like Google Chrome or Firefox, it lags and some times even crashes with my audio program, Adobe Audition.

I've decided I would like to get a MacBook air. But not the latest, since I found a previous model on amazon for $250 cheaper than the latest. But I wouldn't get it for just the price. Apple removed the USB port in the latest MacBook air, which would be a big issue since my mouse is USB, so I wouldn't be able to plug it into the computer. But the previous model does still have the USB port, so I could then use my mouse.

Yesterday, I put together this:

This hour-long audio clip of riding a horse through the stormy night took 14 sound effects, consisting of rain, horse hooves, thunder, etc.
For this long audio clip, I did it in multitrack, and it took ten tracks.
Here's an image of the multitrack:

On the far left, you can see all the audio files used in the multitrack. I get all my sounds from many different libraries online, and when I download them, I keep them in my own library. There were a lot of key sounds needed that most people wouldn't think would be important, but if they weren't in, you'd know it'd be missing them. For instance, for the horse, I first only added horse hooves. But then I thought it needed something with it, as it sounded as if you were riding it bareback. So then, I found a sort of "jingling" metal and item movement, to make it sound like a saddle or other items on the horse as well.
Then, of course, there was the ambient storm going on. I used about 5 different sound effects, including wind, rain, and thunder. Combined, I think it sounds great. Plus, the horse hooves' sound effect was on a mud surface.

Note: I've realized that if you want to make an audio piece sound like night, just add crickets and heavy wind.
