so I want to become an indie-dev as a hobby after work. I have always done 3D and never considered 2D until last night I had a dream of converting all my projects into a 2D format. When I woke up, I actually sat down and took some time to think. Right now I study programming, sculpting, and modeling. I still do not know…
Hey, I am right there with you man. What I usually do is try to focus on 3 art forms modeling, sculpting, and drawing/painting. When I get burnt out on one of them I have no problem going to the next one and improving my skills that way. For drawing I recommend I http://idrawgirls.blogspot.com/ they have a lot of videos or…
Hi everyone, recently I was so concerned about my career path and I have a lot of questions that need answers which I hope I could get help from any of you who are professionals or at least have some sort of knowledge inside the industry because I feel kinda lost right now.

I may follow into a bachelor of 3D design in the future if my finances allow me too. For now, I would like to spend some of my the free time learning the…
I'm sure by now, you are tired of me "trolling" around these forums. I have caused a lot of trouble here, and I am here to make up for my immaturity . Out of all my pathetic attempts at creating something "worthy," I learned that I don't have what it takes to be anything of use for 3D Modeling or graphic arts. However, I…
cause I feel nervous. One aspect, I am female, and it just seems to be this energy in the community that I am not gonna be able to match and i'll stick out like a sore thumb. Everyone seems really cool for the most part and seems like they know what to say or do. Maybe I have a bit of social anxieties too, i don't know. I…
Hey guys! I am a moderately experienced 3D artist, and I am planning on doing the new Artstation Challenge (whatever that topic will be) and I decided to try to tackle a 3D Environment. I have made environments at my work before, but not the full thing on my own. I am trying to do as much planning and prep work for the…
