NPR?
Anyhow congratulations on your progress. What were the biggest hurdles so far? I've been doing 3D for about a month but spend more time animating than modeling. My biggest hurdle has been shading. I don't know how all the different components work and I haven't done a ton of UV mapping just yet.

My biggest hurdle was ironically to improve my 2D skills, but not anime, but realism 2D drawing skills.

my advice is to grind your 2D anime skills, because a lot of what makes anime feel anime, comes from a 2D mindset.

The other things are to learn to measure stuff in drawings, this is just 2D fundamentals.

The other thing would be to learn to make shaders, and learn post processing tricks.

Shaders and post processing can take your normal renders into looking like magic.

Also, learn color grading, it helps a lot for the last polish step.

cris, would you visit this board if every user tried to keep 2 generals and multiple threads on the first page? would you visit 4chan at all if every user spammed their stuff in every board with vaguely related inane questions?
be honest

At the end of the day, who's the CHUD, Cris. Who's being groomed by jannies and will end up becoming a crude mockery of a woman, Cris. Here's a hint: that's you, Cris. lol :)

Cris is a real Chad, how does it feel having Cris rent free in your head?
What does attract you the most about Cris? His manly arms? His tenacity? His piercing Venezuelan eyes?

The right question would be what attracts Cris to spam 5 boards 24/7 for the last 10 years.

Awesome, thank you for sharing.

I really need a lot of guidance with shaders and so on. Do you have any good tutorials or resources you can share to help me with that? I consider it my absolute weakest category - lighting, shaders, post proc, even colors. I appreciate your help!
