Sure, but you need to know more programs, not just blender. And I'm biased because I freelance for actual pro studios, not on Fiverr for normies. Maybe just blender would be enough to model some basic shit for random people though. But the question is would that be worth it?

I guess you can get on that basic level relatively quickly, but in order to freelance for actual studios, then you might as well make it your career at that point because it WILL be a GIGANTIC time sink to get on that level. 3DCG is very time consuming.

Honestly idk if it will be worth it for you, but again, I have 0 experience outside of working remotely for a few pro studios as a freelancer, so I don't know what's the situation like in other areas of the industry. I also didn't start learning 3D in order to make money, it was just a hobby that became (for now) the thing I do professionally as well. I'd imagine learning this with the goal to earn money will lead you nowhere and there would be other much better and more lucrative fields to get into, like some brainlet webdev or similar.

Not really Op, you'll struggle to land anything worthwhile in this til you're deep in. You really don't wanna get into 3DCG for the money, it pays shit compared to other things you could do with your time. You're in this for the art 1st and money 2nd even if this is your full time thing.

previous reply is spot on. blender alone won't be enough if you want to be freelance or even joining a studio. blender is a good starting point but it's worth it to get into other software if you are serious. it can do everything but not the best at many aspects of CG and as a CG artist, don't limit to one tool.

Yeah that's exactly what I was worried about. Thanks guys.

I went through a tutorial and it seems fun and I could follow it easily, but I doubt it will be worth it to sink so much time and energy into something and only be mediocre at it since I already do have a full time job which takes up most of the day.

>work on the side to make extra money?
voice acting,
crypto, (DO NOT ALL IN ON CRYPTO)
Buying and reselling ("flipping") various items after doing basic touchup work (apparently doing the registration for unregistered cars is basically free money)
I'm curious if you could bilk or screw over the datamining industry by selling them bullshit data,

And while it's not work, debts are worse during a recession and debt is basically what a "government bond" is.

sadly impossible in my country

I got in late and got a very small amount which is losing value lol and don't have savings. Got any recs for promising coins?

>flipping
I don't have a workshop and skills for that yet

However, I was thinking of getting into conservation and restoration of historical items since it's close to my line of work but I lack the skills and tools.

Guess I could try adapting the small basement of my apt building into a kind of workshop

Invest time into learning 3D printing.
Find a market and a product you can make.
Invest into a plastic molding machine and create your own mini home factory.
Sell your shit on Etsy.

Just keep slowly accumulating in bitcoin
Dont worry about the latest 'promising coin' and instead focus your time on learning an actually useful skill
