Rant about 3d
6 years ago
General
i'm... sort of pissed at 3d
years of practice and way too little to show for it
at this point, the problem is not me. and I saw that artists of a similar experience time, also are more or less at the same point
3d simply scales like shit, that's the only thing I have to say about it. For what it pays, it's simply too complicated.
some people appear better off but that's because they specialized. move them away from the comfort zone and they struggle too.
i'm forced to ask commissioners a lot of money, otherwise I end up paid in cents per hour. And it happens way too often that people turn out unsatisfied, and then they talk to others about it and it gets harder to get commissions afterwards.
only way I found around this gigantic scaling issue is cooperating with other artists.
TOO BAD NONE WANTS TO DO THAT.
so yeah i'm seriously pissed
also pissed at life because I can't work as a clerk anywhere
and i'm forced to keep accepting commissions and make shit money and get treated like shit by commissioners because it's the only thing i can do.
Getting hired in the industry? Ah! I took a look at the portfolios that get accepted. that stuff is impossible to pull off without DECADES of experience. And even if you do get in, people that did get in tell me it pays like crap for how stressful it is.
You want to learn 3d? Do yourself a favour and do something else.

For what it pays it not necessarily too complicated, maybe you should try to find another audience or make some original commissions, a creation that you can easily repeat to make you financially healthy. You can try to found a job around 3D and be more specialized is not a bad thing.
About portfolios you have try ? You can try to work on a specific job to put it forward and stand out from the others
About stress I'm a lot more stressed with my own projects than in industry. You can try and If you don't like back
You must do sometime than you like.
