Currently washing dishes in a restaurant on a foreign country without knowing the language. Still following the dream of being hired on a studio or whatever, modelling in spare times and during the night to improve, learn more, and have a nice portfolio.
Gotta work hard.
Good for you, just keep on going and stay hungry for it and you will make it
are you still alive dude?
yeah indeed, are you alive? and in which country are/were you working at?
hey dude have you done washing...
Yeah, how is your progress?
I thought before watching the video you meant if u want to be a 3D modeller just quit now cus it won't happen. I was like wtf lol. But then I watched the vid and I understood.
LOL
it's called CLICKBAIT, you clicked on a bait
Me to bro i was going to quit 3d just because of that thumnail XD XD
Same lol
Torey Alvarez Something weird happen with your channel?!
You really put thing into perspective for me. Opening my eyes and glad I ventured into learning BLENDER.
👍
MH is not a youtuber, is a MENTOR, thanks.
Thank you Francisco :-)
True
Agreed!! 👌👍🌻❤️
Key Mike ^^ , i really like how you turned teaching 3D into a nice business Model using all the tools available online.
there are very few people who did this even though there are thousands of skilled artists out there.
I am inspired by what you are doing Mike keep it up :)
Thank you so much !
Years later you guys are the ones doing this for us! Thank you IT, you guys are the best!!!
Mike I've been watching your tutorial and must tell you : not only youre a great specialist but also your a great talent at teaching and conveying knowledge. And also you posted this video which is very expensive for me and probably for other people who dont have this thick skin. Keep going. Doing a great job! And last but least my likes are not a sign of appreciation they just a mark which mean that i've watched a video:) I appreciate all your materials and was never dissapointed ;)
Thank you so much
I can totally relate to this. When I was studying my bachelors, I liked to post my works on some 3D groups on Facebook. Although the quality wasn't that good, it was hard work and I wanted to share my achievement in finishing a project to the groups. When I received mockeries, and hate comments, it really took me by surprise, and this has always been one of the reason I lack confidence on my work.. when offered a 3d project, I would easily decline, as I was afraid the client might not be satisfied with the work. A year passed, and I can say I hv improved a lot on 3d. I am still trying to boost my confidence back though. But nowadays, when I see a beginner posting on groups, I would try to acknowledge what I like on their work, no matter what, and give feedback on what they might want to improve on, rather than mock their work.
Amiruler, that is why you need to join my MH Tutorials group on FaceBook ( 2500+ members ) We do NOT tolerate that behavior and when people try to post hateful comments they are banned immediately. Here is a link, I hope you join : facebook.com/groups/294359217578724/?ref=group_header
Mike Hermes thanks for the invite! I sure will
Well, Mr. Mike, i don't really known you personally, but you've already have a big effort teaching us and that means an enormous effort and will that translates into compassionate love with others. It cames from the heart. Just the simple fact of investing your time teaching, is a great win for you and for us. What's more, the way you teach us is dynamic, directly with the right words. For me it is an example to follow, a Mentor and why not also a friend, even if we don't know personally, with all respect Sr. Please go ahead, here we are to support you.
Thank you so much Leon, that is really, really appreciated :-)
Thank you Mike
Really wonderful to having you as a mentor
You're such a great teacher aswell as a great person
So many artists out there but they don't want share anything like you did to us
I'm watching when start my journey in 3d now I'm still doing my own project i can modelling sculpting and texturing as well in good quality
For new comer 1 thing I want to say
Just follow and stay firm in your passion then you'll get what you want
Once more Thank you soo much Mike (mentor and lovely friend)
TC and stay bless ☺️😍💐
Hey Mike I can't thank you enough for this video. It reachs so many other areas where we can face bad people with bad behaviour at any time, and how we should deal with it.I'm sending you all my love and I hope it spreads out. Thank again man, this video is one of the most important on the entire youtube, and I'm pretty sure I'm not exagerating.
You are so very welcome. I hope it helps you in your journey !
⁰
Great content Mike! Special for guys that are just starting. Trolls/haters are part of the game.
Thank you Mike You are the best, and Those who started in 3d modeling i can give you one advice which is very important in this field, Dont spend too much time on one model unless its neccesery, model as much as you can then only you will learn,the main thing is timing ,you should practice to do your model in very fast way of possible dont take too much time on single model, coz companies are based on time to time delivery if your work time is slow you will be ignored.
Thanks for sharing Nikki. Practice will teach you how to approach certain models in less time
its been so long i have not been able to follow your channel, got some time again, will check all those videos I missed, this video was great, you are a true inspiration
Thank you and welcome back !
Glad you made this vid. I see this a lot and I find it super troubling. Thanks!
Very welcome Tony
I really needed this video! Thank you so much, I just turned 15 and I’m continuing my 3 year journey in 3D!
Good for you ! Go for it
Me too! I'm 16 and have exactly 1 month's worth of experience lol. I'm not nearly as good as you but I'm trying my best. Wish you all the luck. (I subscribed :) )
You're a nice person and a very good professional. I'm a graphic designer with more than 30 years working with 3D and I count on you every time I need a good reference. Congrats!
Thanks Andre !
Amen, thank you for making this. Currently Im seeking my degree in 3D Arts and I see this all of the time with students and its really disheartening as it not only can kill a reputation but as well stifle someones potential. Often I watch your videos as support to help further understand materials I may not have fully understood in lecture. Im sure Im not the only student that does this. With that its my hope that others see this and take aways something positive from it. Again Thanks.
I work in the art Industry and there it can be a bit of a completion, because of the insecurity. Then I started to learn animation, but yeah. Mostly older guys that been in the industry long. Never meet people that were so willing to help and so welcoming. Like you Mike. So yeah... This problem often lies with the younger ones, fresh to the industry. It will be allot better, to be friendly and helpful, instead of making everything in to a " Hunger Games " competition. Because, it is not a competition, even if it feels like it. If we all help out one another. Then we can all learn, grow and flourish in to better artists. Thank you Mike, for the Video. Stay safe!
The moment I stopped caring what other people think of me was the moment I started to truly experience freedom.
I'm 32 and I started learning blender two months ago because of your advice. I've never felt so motivated about anything
Awesome ! Go for it :-) And here is an invite to my 3D artist gang on FB. You are hereby invited ! facebook.com/groups/294359217578724/
is it possible to start as a game animator even at 40
wonderful person you are...thank you so much for creating all the things...and I really really like the approached you showed here....beautiful.
Thank you so much !!!
New level upprouching to be an master sculptor artist
I've been at it now for 14 years, and I nearly had a mental breakdown partly because I'm constantly pissed on. There's no accountability in the online world. It's not going to stop. But thank you for this video. We have to fight this all the way, because nobody is fighting for us.
14 years...
@@Inconvenient_NPC thanks for the clarification, I hadn't read it properly the first time 👎🏼
Hello,what is 3D modeling or artist?
It doesnt relate about Maya or other app right???
wise words and beautiful meaning :)
i do not have real school training, i am a industrial designer and i would like to become an 3D character modeler, where should i start?
Well said sir! 👏🏾 thank you!
Hi, Mike! Well I deal with that whole my life. Thicker skin as you say is a must. Problem is most of people who would not encourage you are losers and actually winners will support you. They usually give advices just to belittle you and get you of the track but dont worry about it. What is important is your vision about yourself and self criticism . Just keep up and always have fun everything else will just play along. Thanks for beeing there for us.
Always ! and thank you
Hello just came across your channel
I recently developed an urge to learn animation but I don't know where to start
:') motivational video. thanks man!! im one of your friends in fb thanks again man!!
Thanks, and I know :-)
Hey man, thanks for the video. I am currently learning blender and am really interested in working for a gaming studio. What do you think I should specialize in and post more of in my portfolio that will help with my goal?
Im actually interested to learn Blender instead of gaming cause Im kinda addicted to gaming. And I want to sell 3d models for a bit of extra cash. Is this achievable?
I have learned soo many tips and tracks from u r tutorials thank u soo much
Very welcome
MIKE i love ur videos
All the respect mike really good productive words
Thank you

i just has to say that thank you, thank you very much MR Hermes. I watch you videos every week. I´m shamed to not have funds to contribut to you channel, but this will change very soon. Peace and hug from Brazil
You are so very welcome Marcos... and never be shamed as I am glad I can help you !
I know how it feels man... Everytime I see such mean comments, I just try to counter them by giving encouraging words.
:-)
TrinhStudios... yes...that is way to treat them back....
M. SHIHAB UDDIN My english is pretty bad but you know what I meant.
Please met me know if you used the STOP sign :-)
Well said! Cheers!
Thanks :-)
Frankly i never had to but i like the idea :)
Good for you. Unfortunately some people do
ha! mike, you should do a STOP sign model tutorial for us, love you videos keep it up sir :)
Does it apply to graphic design as well ?
Hi thanks for the video, a query, would you recommend studying graphic design to be a 3D animator (also create your own characters, shorts, etc.)? I know that in design they teach about color theory and that, would you recommend it? : )
People who cant do or wont even try hate seeing anyone else do it or try. It makes them feel bad about themselves and makes them feel big. What i'd tell you folks trying to make it is that if you work your ass off and work smart you'll get there. Anyone who is negative is full of it, do not listen to them. You have to see and follow your dream, no matter what.
For what its worth Mike thanks for what you do. The last four months have been hell for me as my life and family has fallen apart and am now unemployed. Trying to retrain for IT. There is no chance of 3D for me so have to let it go. You guys listen to Mike, hes got a great heart. Take care of yourself and for all of us fallen by the wayside...live the dream.
Thanks buddy for your support and sharing your story... And as for giving up your dream ? Remember how I mentioned in my story that I dropped my dream of becoming a 3D artist and picked it up 25 years later ? If you are retraining to get into IT ( Let me know if I can help as I have 30 years of experience ) then why not focus on being an IT tech in the 3D world. Loads of hardware and software there. Here is my email address : mikehermes@mhtutorials.com
hi, can you make a video on 3d modeling freelance website to start work as a fresher?
Is it a Terran barrack lifting the sound effect at the start of the video? Sounds interesting.
Brilliant. Thanks
Great video. Thank you very much for that!
Very cool video!
Couldn't agree more Mike!, great video!
Thanks Martin
Great advice. I made tutorials on youtube when there were very little of them and did quite well from it. I made them in a way to explain things rather than just clicking on buttons that people will forget later on - yet a good 10% of the comments were always negative telling me to get on with it, that my voice is *** etc etc. Totally insecure people. I have a tough skin to this stuff and stopped making videos due to time. I teach now and a lot of my students fear making videos because of comments, particularly form the blender community for some reason. Its sad. I deleted over 150 of my tutorials as they were pretty dated, and if I made more I definatly wouldnt let silly comments stop me.
I always wanted to learn 3d modeling and learn more about metahuman and how can i create an avatar for my own but it's really hard for me as im lost and I don't know where to get my courses and learn about doing these things that I want :(
Thank you. Nice video. Keep up the great work :)
Thank you
fantastic message
thanks a lot!!! so nice reverb
YOU CAN STOP ME, IM UNDER THE BRIDGE AS WE SPEAK AND UR GUNNA HAVE TO PAY MY TOLL
Thank you Mike! Good, youtube is just like reading my mind. I was talking to this guy on fb today. And you know I complimented him on a fine job he's done with his models etc.. So I just wanted to be friendly, like an artist to an artist.. to support him and to network eventually. So I just asked him a couple of things. I've seen his posts in zbrush public group. And well, dude was just so rude and behaved in so condescend way. And just to let you know he has no job in the industry, keeps posting these "finish it yourself" assets on artstation market with some weird comments (no uv'ed, no textured, just a rough modeling). But there are still good designs, there is a great trace of true potential. But maaan, the way he talks.. I could not handle it and just said "ok man, good frigging luck to you with that attitude". One thing is ranting and insulting others, another one is just being a pure a**hole. If I ever see him again on a job market or anywhere else, I will make sure my company will not hire him. Be friendly, be open-minded, team and its emotional wellbeing is the most important thing, no matter how cool modeler you are just be a nice person. It will pay back 100%.
It's called law of attraction my friend and a man with a bigger vision never has his mind in a box 📦
I'm sorry did anyone else google "how to become a 3d artist" and instead randomly stumble into this lecture?
Thank you for the motivation push!
I havent gotten anything bad in the 3D section, but being around the internet and drawing can already give you one or two personal trolls.
Oh for sure :-)
Wow! I didn't realize Vader could have so many facial expressions. A man of many faces.
6 years later and yesssssss.
very good advice
You are right, man
lots of love and respect from india mike keep posting videos your videos help us a lot
Thank you so much !
Hello sir I am a 3d artist & spacialist in 3d render.i request if there is any home base job for realistic render then allow me thanks
Mike Hermes has spoken! well said!
I just reply “Thanks!” And leave it at that.
I recently taugh by a very sharp mouth animator for animation training.
I know he meant good but its kinda tough to have thick skin. Thanks for this video, i know it has been years passed but atleast it gives me thicker skin to keep moving on.
Hopefully i get a job as animator soon and able to keep growing
Thats actually very cool !
Thank you
this is so wise in many ways
Hey Mike, not so sure trolls deserve an episode but as there is saying: "What you do you do to yourself not to others" :D
Thank you
You are my teacher in 3d modelling ♥️
Thank you !
to be honest i did not know that bullies existed among committed artists. i didn't know may be because m a newbie. but as far as i know out of my experience i always had very heart warming people around me every where i posted my work. their comments were with wonderful critics. a place where i can expect a very honest opinion and critics about my works is MH tutorials Facebook group. its amazing there. the environment people there. there are people from experts to newbies like me. but the people in that group will judge your work very honestly and in a very kind way. thanks MH for the wonderful group.
And thank you for being a part of it !
I'm currently almost a doctor but I've been really interested in the world of 3d modelling, in part because of biomedical engineering and also the stuff I saw about prosthetics, also because I like the world of props, professional prop makers and my question here is: is it posible to learn about this and eventually be at least competent at it if I invest my spare time on it?
I'm still a beginner but I can already tell you that if you really have a passion for it and use your time well, you can definitely become compotent!
You my hero in this industry
Thank you so much Kitty !
i want to become a 3d modeller but picked as a 3d generalist but i'm still otw to modelling
Thank you for the motivation
Very welcome
To be honest your thumbnail is not very good, it almost sounds that you want to make us quit 3D modeling
😂exactly what i thought
And you came in just to see if he wanted you to quit boom 💥 you watched the whole video 😃😀😁😁
Yeah i understand your point sir hermes. Im one of your facebook friend btw. Big respect for you sir.
I know you are. Thank you :-)
I'm still working for realized my dream as a 3d modeler. I know how hard the obstacle is, but I didn't found a reason to give up just yet.
Good for you !
Vary well said. Yes, I will use the STOP sign :-)
So cool, thanks buddy
Wonderful advise....... From Guyana......
A Big Like from me 2 U love the positivism and the spirit u are
tanks for being a true believer kind words
don't stop making art guys no meter what the comments say
just believe in your self and u will get there
Thank you 3PO
i am not a freelancer but man............ i always think that would i do good or not. i like what do. i love 3d modeling and want to learn more. i always think that how would i do on job, how would i fit in the groups, in the company....for example i really Struggle UV stuff and without uv you cant texture stuff & my teacher says that you should know how to texture stuff in photoshop...not every company uses substance painter or quixel or 3d coat or whatever.....this morals me down. I struggled to modeling first but i was fortunate enough to find your channel. Modeled lots of stuff and learned many things from your channel. I hope i clear these obstacles and be successful in this. Because i really want to do this and my dream is to work for rockstar company, i grew
up playing their games, gta vice city sanandreas are my childhood.
Best of luck to you and may all your dreams come true !
Mike Hermes thanks.
Hey daksh, im searching for a amateur 3d artist to edit some objects, if you are interesting in some extra bucks tell me
I heard that Rockstar treathed like shit their employers, for a long time.
Daksh The king, I'd start off with simply models to UV unwrap. There are also lots of tutorials on youtube on unwraping. Plus at some of the larger companies they might have a artist that just UV unwraps, and that would mean the modelers may not have to. It's good to have options.
Hi , thanks for your wonderful tutorials, would you please teach us how to make feather?
I what to create a 2d or a 3d game Idk best I stick on 3d animation
thank you
i dont really see bad comments that often on my or anyone elses work. actually i barely get any kind of feed back at all and i ask for a critiques. But because of the people who are too sensitive or the stereotype of artists being too sensitive, i have to make sure to let others know that i do have thick skin and i want to improve so be as harsh as you want.
typically with with critiques, since i am an artist and i do put my heart and soul into every piece, i do feel attacked but its up to me to decide on how long i will feel that way and if i should.same goes for every artist out there. Everyone, artists and hiring managers alike should know its more of a reflex to be defensive than a mind set. SO what I find helpful is one, dont talk if its an in-person critique. absorb the info and listen to everything. Two, be angry, let that anger out, say fuck you, think the other person is wrong, make all the excuses in the world but once you have calmed down reread or think about what you had just heard or read. If you listen first and then be angry instead of being angry and not listen then you will be able to get those hidden frustrations out and still have the info needed to be better. Now when you say someone else is wrong, remember you are just angry or disappointed at yourself so try not to let the other person feel that anger from you or else you will have another situation on your hands lol. Plus its not fair to make others feel bad for being honest when you will get over it before the day ends yourself.
What I want is to squash this stereotype because I have met more artists that put in the work than make excuses. Or like me when I will makes excuses for a second then get to work lol. Plus there is no need to be sensitive. Artists need to make art for themselves. The gaming and movie industry is out of ideas and out of history making titles because their heart is not in it anymore. Yooka Leylee is a great game example. Any movie title that is based on anything from the past for nostalgia is a great movie example.
At the end of the day if you aren't happy with your work then there was no point. No matter how ugly, dumb, silly or immaturely crude my past work is, they all bring a smile to my face. Don't be sensitive about your pile of shit, be proud of your pile of shit because someone somewhere won't see it as shit and will see it the way you see it ... unless you see it as a pile of shit then time get a new career lol.
👍 love 3d
Hello Mike, first of all thank you for all the tutorials . I have a question that I hope you can answer me. I'm planning to change my computer, the one I use right now... well, it has it's problem. I was wondering , what computer do you have? What processor is the one that is the best? There are a lot of options, but which one do you recommend that is the best option to work with 3D and renders?... That will be all. Thank you. :)
Daniela, there is not 1 answer to that. It is the combination of elements that makes things work. So let's work backwards...
Videocard : GTX1080 8GB or similar / RAM Min of 16GB, 32 is better but if you can afford 64 ? / CPU : The fastest you can afford. / HDD at the very least 1TB / A decent big monitor ( no smaller than 24inch ) for professional use 2 of them. This is just my personal opinion. You can go from $700 to $70.000 or more
Mike Hermes thank you a lot for your answer, I will take note on this.
Good luck
heya dear mike or should i said my online guru..been your subscriber about 3 years now..although 3d is new world for me, but your video give me inspiration ..keep doing what you have to do ...sincerely tyvm in highest regards...from your student/ little brother in island of paradise, Bali island, indonesia. Ps: really apologize for my grammar.
Your grammar is fine :-) Thank you for being such a loyal follower !
almost thought this video was about stop learning haha but thanks
:-)
hello mike ... can you make a video about maya 2018 lighting and rendering ... i'm new at 3d modeling and most of the videos online go for the modeling only and it's fine I work with them and my work looks great but when i try to render it it looks so bad ... can you help me please
I have
can you post the link here please ... thank you
Good. Short, On Point video :) Thank you sir for this :)
Very welcome
Title and thumbnail had me worried for a moment, thinking it might be ‘stop dreaming, sucker’ or some such (brain is so nice to me sometimes, it’s a work in progress). This is wonderful, though. I just searched ‘3D art tutorial’ which isn’t perhaps the right wording, it’s more drawing 3D on paper which is amazing, but different, and this came up in the first ten videos.
love the shirt
So I subscribed cause we have the same Vader shirt
I really hope I can get 3d artist job by this year but I know it is difficult.
