you make a great point about making something better then the last. Similar to project based learning. Where you have an idea in mind, and learn as you go. Yea i checked yesterday and u been at it since 2019 i think. You even have experience with SFM! The nostalgia man...
I've been itching to ask a specific question to an artist for years and I think you can be a great start if u don't mind. It's a bit of a fun question and i feel it can be super helpful for any future artists here. Here goes:
What’s the difference between a 3D animator with 6 years of experience and one with only 1 year, but who surpasses the 6-year artist in skill and knowledge? I've seen how much progress an artist has made in such short amount of time and it's so cool to see their progression! If you could restart your 3D journey 5 years ago with all the knowledge you have now, what would you do differently to learn more efficiently? I know it's a bit of a broad question considering there's so much to blender, so i narrowed it down to just animator :^)
I've asked this to a league of legends professional player because I've always been fascinated at how ppl with such short amount of time can learn so efficiently and make great strides in improvement. U for example! Make models, animate, have awesome physics, composition, lighting, visual story telling. You (in my opinion) are a complete package of what i one day want to become xD
sorry for wall of text. caffeine = talking 2 much
