I've belonged to this community since I was thirteen. Five years ago, at the fork where most people choose to study, I chose the craft instead, and spent that time building a team of artists rather than a résumé. Together we made HoovyTools, alongside the scripts, models, animations and scenebuilds that get newcomers up to speed on realizing exactly what they picture in their heads.

At fourteen, whatever I earned online went straight back into source trade secrets, which I then gave away in tutorials, servers and forums. Two years ago I gathered it all into one place: a Patreon with 900+ particle effects, 30+ scenebuilds and 600+ animations. What began as a habit of organizing my own work has quietly become the go-to shortcut for anyone who'd rather skip the asset building grind and get straight to creating.
