I'm guessing you're still the age where you cringe at what just happened last year XD I well remember manually transferring my old blog posts in both my big site migrations and seriously considering just deleting all posts from my 20s XD
Blender's sculpting has gotten pretty good if you want something free. I haven't done dynatopo sculpting for a while so I don't know if that's caught up yet though (last time I did it, getting things completely smooth was nigh on impossible because Blender just liked to flatten rather than smooth). If you already have ZBrush then carry right on. Warning in the event you haven't already started playing around with it, it's pretty addictive XD
Now another thing I have to warn you young whippersnappers about is seeing as it looks like you're still in the try everything phase, by all means try everything but don't expect to be able to focus on and get good at everything, there is a non-zero chance that you'll actually get good at everything but statistically there's a much higher chance that you burn out.
Always try to keep doing better, that's something that is definitely achievable :)
I started zBrush, they got a free version on iPad so I managed to play some of the parts but go back to the youtube tutorials again because of my short attention span to remember. It's fun. I'm hoping learning 3D will help me improve my lighting on 2D and also perspective. You're right about being in the try everything phase, feels like I'm missing out a lot if I stopped exploring but losing time to master something bites me back too. Hope next year I can actually get a lot of stuff done outside work for my soul. And I hope to see you active here too.
Cheers for 2025! I think your time zone relative to mine says you'll be 2 hours into the future, send me the lottery numbers.
Do they actually have a free version these days or is it still Sculptris? I remember being so mad when they grabbed that and then did nothing at all with it forever.
I've found 3d improved all my skills in the things you're hoping to improve so I hope that works out for you too :)
Though I hope you actually also keep improving at drawing as that completely eluded me, I cheat there and draw over my bases coz my 3d is a lot better than my 2d XD
zBrush on iPad has a free version, I'm just switching to different things then setting myself up to regret and should've just focused on one thing to get things done because that's the right thing to do~
Sometimes you need to jump around between things til you find what you want to focus on, because sometimes what you think you want to focus on is not it, and interests will wax and wane and go, and it's all good if you learned something, even if it was "this is not it" :)
