🧵 I feel like I'm too retarded to learn 3D.
Anonymous at Sat, 18 Jan 2025 12:25:16 UTC No. 1005677
I look at how complex this is at the high level and how much goes into it and I just get incredibly intimidated. I just feel like I'm not smart/talented enough to do this. Even though I took some intro 3d and animation classes and passed them I still feel like the high level professional stuff is just beyond my reach. Like I'm never going to be able to make something like pic related. I can't imagine myself being able to make something this good ever. I feel like I'm only good enough for retail work and anything too complex is outside my mental capacity. I don't know what the minimum IQ is for this work is but it's clearly way above me. It just looks so intimidating. I couldn't hack it with STEM which is why I went with a political science degree instead. I'm 27 now and I'm too old to learn. I still struggle with the UI of programs.

Cris, you're not 27. You look like you're double that and you should also stop making these content-free spam threads.

you should stick to retail then and stop wasting other people's precious time by making them listen to you whine about how pathetic you are.
alternatively you can get serious about your life and make an actual effort to do something worthwhile

Anon I've never made a 3d character just chairs and buildings but If you accept the challenge lets learn together what do you say?

You sound like a pussy and your comment almost reads like it's AI generated. The jap who modeled 2B very likely had years of experience before him, he didn't get this good overnight. You gotta walk before you can run boyo. Just make some fucking models and you'll git gud eventually, chop chop, no more talking

Just start by following some tutorials and re-do them until you can memorize the whole process

This is literally better than models I was making just starting 3d. Keep it up.
>topology
For now ignore that word please. Dont let the tree's cover your view of the forest. For now my honest advice is for you to familiarize yourself with the software and blocking out geometry...picrel is a friendly suggestion.
Who would've thought 3d just as any other stuff has a learning curve....

I would like you to model many things. Its a good exercise because it trains one of the most valuable skills in 3d: patience. Sometimes you just have to push pixels in boring stuff.

But how am I supposed to get a job if I can't make something as good as 2B?

The only option I can think of is to go indie: find a game dev team and work with them, they're starters too so they're in no position to reject you, you'd have to be really and I mean really shit for them to reject you, and that doesn't seem to be the case. Try the /agdg/ thread over at the /vg/ board, or try Di*cord groups like the Game Developer League or whatever it's called

congratulations you have reached the "oh wait i don't know anything and i'm fucking retarded" stage of learning, now push through another 10,000 hours of this feeling and you might be good
also that model was made by a team of people, each with their own specialization

You're a loser that's deluding themselves and no you're never going to get anywhere with any of this. Your stuff is basic bitch garbage. Stick to retail.

Your talent/IQ in a given area serves more to throttle how rapidly you advance than cut you off from exploring something in particular.
You may need a 'high IQ' for art to get to your pic related rapidly/soon but you don't need exceptional talent to get there.
Question you need to ask yourself is how hard you are willing to struggle with something as that can only be determined by you.
How much is it worth to you to pursue something you want that's hard won compared to doing something repetitive/mundane and mentally light-weight that comes easy?

Yes but beware of sunken costs theory.
