"So what do you call a nightmare during the day?"
"I'll let you know when this one is over."Been a while since I've lurked here, but it's kinda due to a resolution I made.
As I may have mentioned, I'm trying to work in some 3D skills into my art (either with Blender or Carrara 7, or both, if it turns out I can do that). Progress has been a bit slow, so I decided to take a step back and read some book relating to the whole process and the industry. I need a bit more direction, and the user manuals for those two programs make me feel like I'm missing something.
My biggest drawback is getting such a late start with 3D, and I don't have any real connections to anyone irl who can give me pointers, so I'm having to figure this out on my own. Hopefully the notes I've been taking from the books I've been reading will give me a better starting point than what I tried before.
But at least I got back to a point where I can spare some time to work on my regular artwork, even if it's nothing spectacular. Gotta keeps those ideas flowing, right?

Either way, best of luck with your endeavours.
Math really isn't a big barrier for me, so I'm not too worried if I need to indulge in some fancy calculations (it would be a LOT more mentally stimulating than what I do for work, that's for sure). I think the main barrier I have to deal with (which I foolishly created myself) was that I tried working on my idea before I had a real plan. I'm working on fixing that now.
