- that's crazy 😮
- “Listen,” said Ariff’s friend. “I know you don’t want to get married. And I don’t want to have any problems later, with my extended family. So just give her a wide berth, OK?”
Ariff laughed, but he agreed. Anyway, he wasn’t going to the wedding to meet women – he just wanted to cheer on his friend on his big day, and experience a new country and culture.
- Lens helped me realize I am not an “iPhone photographer”, I am a photographer. Looking at all my old collects with the new orb revenue feature reminded me how much I love to post and how much support I’ve received from the creator community.
I’m sharing some new pieces, these are some of my first using $bonsai

`getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [bonsai update]
(0 a) maybe consider adding some information about yourself and a pfp to your profile before you start.
(0 b) "hello world" posts get quite some attention ... 😉 . (if you can post something related to what you are interested in ... 🎇 -> People you start following might take a look at your profile and follow if they are interested in the content you share.) Find one great example at the end of the post.
(1) https://lists.inlens.xyz/lists/818891525288558593 **updated** - list of great profiles to start your lens journey ... you will discover a ton, worth following profiles in the communities of people in this list. lists.inlens.xyz/ in general is a great starting point. (new this month: @lens/bonsai @lens/paulburke )
(2) probably you read this post on @lens/hey . If you are interested in lens mobile apps, @lens/orbapp and @lens/buttrfly are at the moment - imo - the most advanced general purpose lens mobile apps. One of the beautiful things regarding lens is that it doesn't matter which lens app you use, every lens app has access to the same content and social graph.
(3) what you share on lens is stored and publicly available for a very long time. Probably forever. You can hide posts, comments and mirrors. But that's a front-end feature, the data is still available and publicly accessible.
(4) "collects" are a very powerful concept, adding a NFT version of the post to your address (4th symbol below a post on @lens/hey ). Collects can be monetised -> creators can use collect fees to earn money or have $POINTLESS fun on lens. Maybe consider creating a post collectible for $BONSAI. Or $POINTLESS or ...
(5) one more thing :-) being active, commenting on posts and topics you are interested in goes a long way. Of course there is a chance that your posts will be discovered, commented and mirrored, but you increase the probability of being discovered dramatically with valuable comments.
It is quite challenging to get attention, especially for new profiles. A few approaches to get more visibility:
[1] @lens/animators started on lens drawing lens PFPs https://hey.xyz/posts/0x0108fb-0x75 . Imo still one of the best (high quality) growth hacks I’ve seen on lens yet (0 to 100 followers). Maybe you can think of something inspired by @lens/animators ’ idea based on your talent and skills.
[2] consider joining communities on @lens/orbapp .
[3] consider contributing content to the weekly @lens/thisweekon highlight series ( https://hey.xyz/posts/0x01d898-0x44 ) or other content threads like @lens/trustmebro .
[4] consider participating in campaigns / events on lens or create an event (maybe check out #OPENLENS for reference). (If you plan to create something please feel free to reach out 🤍)
[5] consider joining lens spaces on @lens/buttrfly .
[6] @ profiles you think your content is relevant for or you would like to get input from. Pls be selective and not spammy.

- How to Pose VRMs using Blender✨
This week @lens/galverse announced a contest in collaboration with @lens/bonsai ✨
There were a few people interested on how to customise the Zero VRM so here is a quick tutorial showing one way to do so, you will be able to customise her pose and create a transparent PNG image. Best part about it? It's FREE!
By following this tutorial you will learn how to...
💜use Blender (the very basics)
💜pose Zero from scratch
💜set up a camera and change the aspect ratio
💜render (export) the pose as a transparent png, ready for you to add to a photo/MamaAI render to submit for the contest
If you want a unique look to your submission this is one of the ways to get started!
Anyone with a VRM (even if it isn't Zero) is welcome to follow this tutorial to create and original image, I would love to see what you create!
If you are new to 3D, having the following will help make your creating smoother:
💫A 3 button mouse (one with a scroller in the middle is great)
💫a number pad (if your keyboard doesn't have it built in)
💫time - it will take A LOT longer than you anticipate, especially as a beginner
Have any questions? Tag me and I will do my best to answer!
