i second this. it is EXTREMELY good for 2 weeks

keep it up

[cold temple]

thank you for kind words :)

i mainly watched some tutorials (the donut one being the first) and i'm currently learning some more tools i could use to make modelling easier

[visual goblet]

ive been using blender for like uhhh 3 years? And i still suck in general

[cold temple]

i also write shortcuts down in a text file so that i can remember and use them later on

[visual goblet]

just make sure not to use tutorials for everything

because tutorial hell can easily burn you out

im not kidding

[echo tinsel]

4 years and same xD

Best tutorials are the ones that show the functionality of certain tool or modifier, maybe a procedural texture tutorials as well.

following the tutorial is still good, just dont do it TOO often. thats all i can say

[echo tinsel]

ngl the best way to learn is pick up smt you wanna model and model that instead of following a tutorial's exact steps

tutorials are good when you don't know your way around something

[visual goblet]

yeah

exactly

try to recreate a model from a game you like for example

or smth like that

[cold temple]

i mainly only watch them if i dont know about a tool or how to use it

[visual goblet]

Nice

[cold temple]

i dont follow it step by step, i just use a reference image and model based on that

[visual goblet]

actually wonderful

[cold temple]

so what i am doing is that i will be making models based on different things per week

like in this week i made gun models, in the next week i still havent decided

should probably try making some nature stuff like foliage or trees

[echo tinsel]

This is a goated approach. Best of luck ong

[cedar chasm]

damn these look fire

[quiet dagger]

pretty cool stuff

[cold temple]

tried using texture paint on my model and now it looks like something out of superhot

currently figuing out how i can get more "realistic" textures
