I have more than 15 years in this industry and sincerely the best advice I can give you is fucking run. Dude, go into sales, do some chad stuff, even if successful sitting 18 hours a day will fuck you up. Run away just go away run!

you are not an industryfag, youre just a retarded poser (most likely cris) having a hissy fit about blender even though its polymodeling is solid, animation and rigging are okay (weight painting is fucking annoying and maya can do rigging much better), because unlike your larping ass i actually talk to industry people and get to share vital information amongst peers.
youre a subhuman shitting up threads because youre upset that your "career" is going nowhere, but so the original poster doesnt end up to become a sad sack of shit like you are, ill try to give him some advice
"post your work" the crab cries; okay retard, here is a shitty project from half a year ago that i had to stop working on because the comission fell through
to the op whos a faggot, the MOST IMPORTANT thing you should abide by is listening to this guy; >>932292 sadly paralympics doesnt have the 3d modeling discipline yet but if they did id direct you towards here. other things to know is that you should not try to win big bucks instantly, focus on your work, and sharpen your skills as you go. and eventually, when you hit that big break, DO NOT STOP PRATICING, COMPLACENCY WILL KILL YOU, think of comissions and practice as songs; everytime you practice you learn a new song but everytime you fulfill comissions you rehearse songs youve already learned to an audience. picking up 2d art is a wonderful way of being able to understand concepts much easier, and for collecting references i can recommend pureref.
if youre talking about generalist advice per software; blenders weighted normals modifier can usually fix the ugliest issues, and mean creases for subdivision are also much better than sliding an edgeloop closer to edges to make them less round, for substance painter; to add a little bit of flavour and depth to your mesh, add a a fully black fill layer (0 color, 1 metallic and 0 roughness) onto your mesh with an ambient occlusion generator to give it that pizazz, but dont overdo it.

the only reason to ever use blender is that it provides a legal license. produce in paid-for, actually good software of your choice, import, export => "made in blender".
i have never heard anything dumber than the idea of making everything in blender while paying for an expensive license and not using it. (if you didn't have the license you wouldn't be pretending)

the thing you don't understand is that no one gives a fuck if you consent to the opinion, if you accept it as truth as well.
" blender is garbage."
your useless opinion is not necessary for these 3 words to be true.

6 years in the Industry and already reached senior. Can't post work because I'm NDA for a design agency based in London.
Blender is fine for sharpening tools/understanding lighting/learning composition and material basics. Don't listen to blender hating retards. It's a fucking brilliant suite and has many amazing tools in it
1. Realise that people don't care what you're using or that for visual only stuff (i.e. not CAD data for production) exact dimensions etc don't fucking matter. If the visuals look good and you can pass your files on in a somewhat comprehensible manner then you're fine.
2. For industry jobs some might require you to do a sample project for interview. Its pretentious AF and I'll be honest it turns me away from companies. But if you do go ahead. NAME AND SETUP YOUR FILES NICELY. The first thing subconsciously is 'How easy can I navigate retards files?' 'I'm going to be working with this guy/girl'
3. Understand masks and deeply and understand how black/white/grey values can be a near unlimited tool for creating layered/detailed files and textures.
4. I work full time and freelance for some of the biggest design agencies in the UK. Be friends with people in client services and get on their good side. They might not stick at a company for long, but if you ask and have a good relationship they will put you forward for freelance stuff even under the table
5. EVERYONE FREELANCES EVEN IF THEY HAVE A FULLTIME JOB. All designers/visualisers bar none. Play the game, don't let the game play you.

Couldn't pay me to go into sales or "chad" stuff. If you enjoy it you'll be fine. Yeah I sit in my chair for 8-12 hours a day. But I do it in my fulltime job, WFH, comfortable and in a good team. If you wanna make more money just freelance. When you're day is done get to a gym or go for a walk. Personally enjoy climbing, just get out the house
