He definitely has incredible work ethic. Especially back then which is why he has gotten so burnt out lately. Even our dates usually consist of us working on our stuff at the same time (him on Blender and me on DaVinci etc) lol!
He only recently started using 2 extra PCs because his current PC had issues rendering the current Yuffie project. It would crash overnight. It's a processor/GPU issue according to other Blender users. It's working now though so he's now rendering on 3!! Everything rendered May 2025 and back were all on 1 PC.
He is a self taught animator! AFAIK he picked up some online classes for basics (and recently Dillon Goos blender class) but most of the stuff he learns rn is through googling solutions or consulting Grok. He used to be a supporter of animations and wanted to challenge himself to be as good as the best animators at the time. He popped off when he posted Tifa when the Tifa senate thing went trending haha! So he got lucky. Like I mentioned before, he was studying to be a doctor but since animation popped off, this became his full time job.
I'm sure you can do it too!
