    to win you don’t have to be the “best”, you don’t have to know someone, you don’t have to be good looking, you don’t have to be “lucky”. you just have to be what most humans are not: disciplined. luck and talent are bs. hard work, obsession, and consistency. that’s the discipline.

      luck and talent are everything. discipline is something you have to do in order to open up your talents. if you have zero talent discipline not gonna get you a job at best studios

      ​@@johnnysmith9677 Everyone has a a talent. But of course not everyone is as good as others. The faster you can accept that "bad luck" the more good luck (read opportunities) will come on your path. And opportunity is not just about making money, it's about finding purpose in life or just something you enjoy doing. You will be happy and your life will be a success almost automatically. Success is different for everyone of course. 👍 I must admit Blender is difficult to learn for me personally. I have a specific idea in mind and requires me to learn making my own 3d models. But I must learn it to achieve my goal. So I will keep trying to get better and keep going. Courses like these help a lot. Reading pdf books also help in a way. But practice is best.

    Patience along with the motivation is key. I've been learning Blender for only a few years now. I find myself practicing one aspect but then I have to walk away and come back to it later. It's at that moment when things start to click the second time around or even the third time around. Don't feel discouraged when you don't get it right away. As with everything else in life, learning is a process.

    The problems I had when studying 3D:
    1. The majority of proficient 3D artists are incapable of instructing or creating well-structured tutorials. Because you will take longer than a structured teacher who can tell you the fastest, most dependable way to learn, I do not advise self-thought artists.
    2. The majority of TH-camrs teach Blender so quickly that it is impossible to follow them, or they have preset Blender settings that should be reset to default before making a tutorial video.

    • @PonteRyuurui
      @PonteRyuurui  วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      well that is because none of them teach, also teaching is a skill that has to be developped, not to mention one cannot teach if one doesnt understand how to structure the delivery that does not overwhelm

    I can plead guilty to some aspect of almost every point you discussed here. I burned out in early 2023 after trying to master too many skills concurrently (Blender / Unreal Engine and everything in between), while actually succeeding at none. After a year off, I got back into it, only to find the same problems. Which, in-a-nutshell for me were simply too many TH-cam videos and playlist courses that didn't actually help me to accomplish my goals. EG AAA locomotion with custom characters in first, AND third person.
    I started watching Josh's videos (again) just recently, and then discovered your channel. I have decided now, that 3D modelling is what I want to focus on (probably hard surface until I can get halfway decent). I am almost all the way through your "Jumpstart" course, which has helped immensely with the theory, and understanding with what needs to be done, and why, as opposed to simple "do this and do that, and thanks for watching" tutorials as is the case with too much content on TH-cam (EG what makes for good topology practices).
    For that, I thank you guys!

      Here is a thought. Look around and try to recreate your environment. Start with something small like a chair, then when you have mastered that tty a stove or a wash cloth. There’s always something to create in 3D. You just have to use your brain and THIMK of something. Then animate the things you create. Easy

    For me the difficulties used to be topology. I couldn't understand it. I figured it out, so the next thing I'm having difficulties is shortcuts, for example using s to scale something is different to alt s. I know what I want to do with my mesh, I don't know how the tool is called so I can't google it!

    • @PonteRyuurui
      @PonteRyuurui  3 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Thats exactly why we teach ngon workflow for beginners, and later on they can jump on a subd course. There is simply too much info to absorb if one starts with subd and has to worry about complex topo solutions.

    I think the paid courses are amazing and everyone should purchase them to learn. My issue with Blender is that to get to that final image I want I have to go to nuance learning which I hate. I’m sure this happens to everyone, I’ve got to turn off this setting but turn on another, but change another setting to 50 but make sure another setting is below 2000 only if another checkbox is turned off, and so on and so forth, or it doesn’t work. This happens to me with lighting and rendering as well with material settings. There’s no way I could have known some of these nuances so I have to go to TH-cam or the web only to find out that there’s this one checkbox I should have turned off. Can you imagine if the procedure to start a particular car was to set the air conditioning to 63 degrees, turn the radio on to a certain station only if your high beams are on, otherwise release your parking brake…then you can turn the ignition key. lol

    So if possible please let me know 1. How to think of creative and innovative ideas/designs and 2. When I do have some idea in mind, how do I bring it to life and design/model it and maybe even render it.
