Looks Like I'll Be Sitting Out 3D Animation for a While
3 years ago
A while back, I took it upon myself to start learning Blender. I actually made pretty good progress and thought that maybe I could start building stuff.
Well, like so many others, life got extremely busy. What's more, the newest version of Blender has changed so much, not to mention I have forgotten so much by now no doubt, that I'd probably have to relearn and brush up on the basics before I can start attempting to crack into that software again.
Unfortunately, real life is not slowing down. I have so much on the go that learning and using such skills will have to sit on the backburner now. Will I make another run on 3D animation? Don't know. Maybe. A lot of other personal stuff would have to drop by the wayside first in order for that to happen. I've basically considered this a fallback plan in the event things go sideways with my other stuff.
I hope no one gets disappointed with this. I was really pushing to make this a thing, but something had to give and it may as well be this.
For the others doing this stuff, keep going. You're doing something I have wanted to do for years, but can't get the time to do! Go for it!

It's unfortunate to hear that you can't pursue this with life getting in your way so often. It would be really cool to see what you make. It's better to pull back than to burn out though, so I think you're doing the healthy thing.
