>artist can't get a job anywhere
>decides to start their own company instead
What's the correct ruling on this? Would they have officially "made it" as a professional, or is starting their own studio for no reason other than not being hired by anyone technically freelancing? I can't help but notice a lot of popular people on art sites/forums have their own company, or are a high-level executive at a company one of their peers started. I see this more with Blender users than with other DCCs.

>my views to likes ratio on ArtStation is 10 to 1 on average.
Is this bad? It seems average but some people get double of that. I don't get it, I get good feedback from 3d communities when I post wips, I manage to get to trending when I post on artstation, but ultimately I fall down really fast and the ratio is starting to get worse and worse. God forbid if I choose a day when someone team will do an art drop, I immediately disappear from first 5 rows while others hold their ground for much longer.
I know I'm getting better at this and am being noticed by more and more people in the industry, I do this professionally, but social media posts don't reflect it and it is making me doubt myself more than it should, but I can't help it. I'm even happy with where I am at this stage, but those stupid little internet points are killing me and immediately make me doubt my skills. Every time I post now is making my day ruined because the views and likes are getting lower despite getting more followers.

🧵 How do I pick myself back up?
Anonymous at Wed, 3 Aug 2022 12:06:48 UTC No. 912165
So, a couple of weeks back, I made my first likeness, and was really excited into getting to learn more about 3d. As for today, my studio has started training for highly realistic characters.
However, I seem to have lost my motivation which was really high about a week back.
From the past week or so, I've jerked off almost once everyday, which has definitely fucked up my focus and motivation.
I've been delaying assignments to the last possible minute. My assignments are coming out pretty good, but they could be 10 times better.
I haven't been able to get motivated even after seeing art station, not as high as I used to be before.
Someone who has been here, how did you manage to break this loop?

Yea i owe abit of apology but 6 digit is figurative of paying your wage and electricity bill and not sucking ellipses instead so
Yeah, any big bible for me to pray and practice everyday so to know if my color, anatomy, rhythm, compositions yadayada, systematically, enough to a certain value in the market so to keep selling enough every goddamn days against the market's demand? Just to be very much more precise than the usual "trace google doodle"
Just to be more sure, more legal, more securely correct. Like the usual whatever biz math where profit is something minus cost.. or idk

Link me some books thats not "how to rob people in broad daylight" or "how to duplicate your bouncing ball 1000 times"

>yea i am not 2 eager either and /3/ dont have even 3 digits on them so
Just gonna doublecheck last time but i guess without 3d software you cant even manually write out a trajectory system based on variables like gravity and speed so to model out a scientifically correct system? Like, i guess your high school certs and all dont really matter huh? Since there is no way getting over the luck and connection of getting one of the rarest job with hardwork or science or whatever they told you to read but instead just be athletically healthy and make some really good guesses.

Other than the usual "do fan art, practice" how do you make sure or improve your cg art towards your wanted 6 digit material? Like noticably how some artists dont tags nor have like hundred friends to begin with and consistently gain big numbers, is the true epitome of "quality over quantity", so what am i to assume of quality, on creating that fine, gooey, crisp brushy toon finish like picrel example here, to entertain whatever the crowd wants without forcinf them to comment or spam them with surveys abt what they want? How do you, or succesful portofolio usually measure up the data and translate them into the necessary, polish and render?

🧵 Can't scale UVs in Maya
Anonymous at Tue, 2 Aug 2022 11:04:46 UTC No. 911902
Hey, I'm new to Maya (I have to learn it for school), and I'm struggling a lot with UVs :c
I'm trying to make everything fit between 0 and 1.
I don't understand why I can't scale them freely in the UV editor. When I use the scale tool, it only scales very slowly.
The only other option I found is using the scale tool from the UV Toolkit but it's not very practical :/
Anyone have an idea why it's doing that?

Whats the big summary of "do it like pixar" that i can take and assure me of employment.
I imagine i d be following it closely than using my own instinct to spot any microscopic motions,follow thru, squash stretching like picrel or whatever floaty,limp, jitters that irks me and just do things by the book and still might just still get rejected.
Or maybe just a systematic summary to just mechanically reproduce desired realism as closely as possible to the final products and then polishes after
🧵 IK wrist can't rotate on one axis
Anonymous at Tue, 2 Aug 2022 03:22:05 UTC No. 911837
Hello,
I have rigged an arm with an IK target bone which works perfectly except for trying to twist the wrist on its y axis. I can parent the internal wrist bone to the IK target for rotating on the Y axis, but this causes deforming when rotating (see picrel). What should I do so I can rotate the wrist smoothly?
