Frequently Asked Questions

How can I improve my posture while sitting for 12+ hours?

Focus on strengthening your rhomboids and lower traps to pull your shoulders back, and ensure your monitor is at eye level to prevent 'tech neck'.

What is the best way to relieve eye strain during a render wait?
