Why I decided to give 3D modeling another chance.
This is my first post so yay me. I graduated from college at age 22 and got my degree on game arts. I thought that's all i needed to get into the industry but I was so wrong. I started to realize that my art work was not so great and was not going to make it. I got a job testing games for a few gaming companies but somehow I felt that, this was the closest I would get to working for a video game company. Deep down I wanted to create 3D environments but i feel I don't have the skills and i have wasted four years of college. I am now 26 years old and what I did to find out if creating 3D models was my path to continue, I joined the global game jam last month. Let me tell you, my passion for creating 3D models came back. 48 hours just a group a people creating a game. No one in the group told me my models were bad, they just accepted and helped me learn new things and gave me feedback on them for our game. I didn't think of anything but the project and little to no sleep. This is what brought me back to create and relearn how to model and not give up on my dream. If any of you out there feel the same way please. Join groups, forums and even the Global Game Jam if you have one near you next year. This helped me a lot to find myself again. It hurts sometimes study but a little studying comes a long way and I will be creating amazing art work one day. Here is my link to my game that I help create for the global game jam. thanks for reading and don't give up on your dream.
