Your daily reminder that there is NO secret to gitting gud. It's the amount of hours you put into your work.

Why are you here? Close your browser and open up your 3D program. Go on. Scram.

no, it about knowing what your doing and the fundamentals. You could try to do something over and over 100 times and learn very slowly vs learning the fundamentals and learning correctly

Problem is I'm too lazy to spend hours on making shit look good while I could just pull out my minimalistic/clean card and make people think I'm a genius while I'm considering suicide because everything I've done so far is bland as fuck.

Being able to move a car forward doesn't necessarily mean you can drive it nor that you know traffic regulations. Theory is just as important as practice. Also looking at others peoples work and talk about it is a good motivator for yourself.

Biggest problem i see with beginners is they lack basics and observation skills (considered too boring hence skipped by average cg artist). Everything else can be learned so easily these days with amount of information available online.

Fundamentals are shit like anatomy, how many heads tall your character should be, when to use quads and when to use ngons, what things cause shading errors, what types of lighting setups there are, general goals and concepts behind good composition, what makes for good topology with respect to animation, color theory, what sorts of lens settings to use on your camera and when, and so on and so on and on

Basically the core concepts of "art" that can basically be translated between any of the disciplines (real life sculpting, 2d drawing, photography, cinematography, etc)

Also this video is great and that it's by a blenderfag is irrelevant:

Incidentally a lot of his videos are really good with respect to fundamentals (such as lighting, composition, etc) and the ideas are relatively universal

Yea, that's a weird list of things to call "fundamentals." Some of them are pretty fundamental, but not shading errors, camera lens settings, and even details of topology. Even triangles versus quads is hard to argue as a "fundamental." 3D modeling is constantly changing and the whole concept of triangles vs quads could go out the window overnight.

Fundamentals are what you would learn if you actually went to art school. Think about what makes a good sculpture (like an actual sculpture of clay) or a good painting or even a good pencil drawing.

And yes, it's all subjective. Everyone else doesn't have to like the same art that you like. But there are some things that nearly all artists consider "fundamental."

>And yes, it's all subjective. Everyone else doesn't have to like the same art that you like. But there are some things that nearly all artists consider "fundamental."

fundamentals doesn't mean one thing vs. the other, or right vs. wrong, having good fundamentals means CONTROL over what you are doing.

subjectivity would be using perfect symmetry because you hate the rule of thirds, or vice versa. but being a good artist means you recognize what both of those things are and make a conscious decision to choose one over the or.
