If you aren't giving an answer in hours, you're doing it wrong. "3 months" is a meaningless answer without also specifying hours per month.

It's irrelevant, if you learning it is contingent on it taking a certain amount of time you aren't gonna stick with it. Nobody you look up to worried about that they just liked the craft so they did it.

If you apparently want to do this then go do it

How many hours a week? While working a full-time job?
40 hours per week clearly puts you in a different timeframe than 10 hours per week.

if its just animation we are talking about you really should be well on your way by 3 months whether or not you have a full time job, just make sure you get the workflow sorted out early as possible and have a broad familiarity with the process from start to finish and complete projects at every stage of skill. yadda yadda.

200 hours? something like that. it depends how confident you are, a lot of people would probably say it takes less time.

This guy is right. There will always be room to improve, and you will keep improving, till the end of your career. Animation is one of the more labor intensive things to do in 3D, so if you can't handle the time needed to learn to animate properly, you won't be able to handle the time needed to create quality content in a consistent time frame either. Most people end up hating animating, after they find out what it's like to animate even a couple minutes of higher quality footage.

>>903186
>>903173
>>903182
You might have a point if your standards for good animation are barely passable acting, floaty weightless movements, shitty timing, staging and so on, done at a snails pace, without any true understanding of the principles. Yes, you can learn how to animate in just a couple weeks, but learning to actually animate at a decent level, can take years. It's like saying all you need to do to be able to draw well, is put a pencil on paper. Anyone without at least a year under the belt, will almost always need to be constantly babysat by the lead animator, or have their work fixed by more capable animators, to be able to produce anything usable.

3 months under a good teacher might be another story, but even people from focused courses like Animation Mentor, almost always improve a ton after few years of proper animation work. It might be enough to be competitive with smut though, since truly good smut animators are few and far between. I'm talking purely animation here, without going into modelling/rendering/rigging or any other 3D aspects. If it was as easy as this guy is saying, there would be a lot more smut animators, considering how well it pays if you provide professional level quality. Over $10k per month isn't uncommon with the better ones. And some of the top earners clearly know nothing about 3D, outside of being able to animate at a decent level.

The key to good blender porn is more than the animations. it's all the technical crap like softbody, fluids, materials, etc that are impossible to figure out. Everyone uses the same Tifa base model, but the best know how to improve upon it with that secret sauce.

Funnily enough nyl (and some others but mainly him) got me interested in learning this myself too. I've been learning blender for about 2-3 weeks and I am really enjoying it. I grew up with games and lost the interest over time but blender is simply put fun, just for that reason I would recommend trying it for yourself
I started with the donut which I feel like is a mistake since it is slightly too advanced for a complete noob, I think surfaced studio's treasure chest tutorial was better to follow.
If I had to guess how long it would take to get to their level it would be around half a yearto a year? I assume if you really focused on the aspects he puts into his work

Tell me you've never tried animating without telling me you've never tried animating.

OP isn't asking 'how long will it take me to learn how to pose some keyframes and curves?', OP is asking how long it will take to actually get good enough to produce decently life-like or otherwise appealing animations, and *that* is what takes years.

Worked on my stuff 2-3 times during workweek and on weekend in hours between 7-11pm. I was able to make animation in blender that looked good on thumbnails but animation was somehow stiff in 14 days. Now 3 months later I can make model, textures, rig make setup lighting and log on wow to make cinematic screenshots to use as backgrounds. Stills look like old content from 2015 Valtorica. Animation look like what people made in first 3 month SFM was released.

They're both about equally autistic to get into, the difference is that SFM is ancient abandonware with somewhat easier jiggle physics but generally horrid everything else.
SFM can produce good shit but it takes about equal(ly high relative to average coomer's attention span) amount of effort for both, and if you learn blender you'll have actual skills you can translate elsewhere, vs sfm which is just dead end of development for a dead engine.
Also consider that with SFM you're limited to premade models but if you get good enough with blender you can make whatever you want.

It honestly depends on how much free time you have and how dedicated you are. People like Nyl and GeneralButch started 5-7 years ago, but that doesn't mean it'll take you just as long. Either way, animation in general takes a long ass time regardless of the medium. Like I remember GB specifically streaming for 10+ hours for a few days to make a single animation.

Depends on the animation, if he was animating a 2-4 second loop then 10+ hours is definitely on the slow side.
If it was a longer loop with higher levels of variance then that would be ok. Depends on the tools you use too and how fast you can navigate them.
