HeavyFreakedGonna be dumping some 3D stuff I did earlier this year, because I don't JUST draw, I'm also learning how to use Blender. I'm not totally new to 3D stuff, when I was a kid I played around with a program called Swift 3D a lot. It was kinda crappy, there wasn't much you could do with it besides put textures on basic geometric shapes like spheres and cylinders, eventually getting tired of the limitations and upgrading, only to find Blender so much more complicated to use and it didn't help that the first tutorial I watched showed me how to do it in the worst most unintuitive way possible and being like 14 or 15 at the time I was too stupid and impatient to just try other tutorials to see if I'm really supposed to do it like that or if that guy was just some kind of masochist. So for years I only really used Blender to block out backgrounds and props to use as reference when drawing, until I got a 3D printer as a Christmas gift a couple years back. That gave me a reason to look into it again, find out how I'm actually supposed to do it, have a much easier time doing it that way, but not learning much more than what I'd need for printing. I'd given up on my animation dream years prior so there wasn't much reason to learn how to make character rigs, until Digital Circus came out. The simple art style and character designs, the aesthetic that made said art style and character designs look good, and the show premise that made said aesthetic look natural had a validating effect on me. I'll probably never have the skill or knowhow to make something that looks like Pixar or Dreamworks or even Jimmy Neutron, and I'll also probably never afford a computer that wouldn't catch fire trying to render it, let alone a thousand of them considering even with those powerful computers it still takes Pixar movies days to render a single frame, but I might be able to make something that looks like Digital Circus. Sure without the budget to hire a team of animators like they have it probably won't look as polished, probably won't be animated as fluidly, but if I work smarter instead of harder, maybe I can find a way to make that look good
