i've been sculpting in blender all day.

whenever i finish up a project for college i always tell myself i'm gonna use blender more often, familiarize myself with it more so it's not such a pain to work with next time. but i never do and that leads me to getting stuck with the simplest things for hours.

What have you been working on?

@Luke73 a dragon. just sculpting its head has been a nightmare lol

Luke73 · 22-25, M

@looping I've done some things too but just objects. People and animals, real or fictional, are too complex for me lol. But great that you try it!

@Luke73 yeah if it were up to me i'd stay clear of blender. but to pass my course i gotta make the dragon

Luke73 · 22-25, M

@looping Do you have to do the rigging as well?

looping · 18-21

@Luke73 yeah annoyingly so. i have to rig and put the dragon in an environment.

Luke73 · 22-25, M

@looping I never understood rigging. I've used alternative methods lol.

looping · 18-21

@Luke73 such as?

Luke73 · 22-25, M

@looping Mostly I just use rotation, translation and scaling of the objects to animate. And if that isn't enough, I've done some things with Geometry Nodes as well.

@Luke73 that's fair

Luke73 · 22-25, M

@looping Is that your first project on Blender?

looping · 18-21

@Luke73 nah i use it pretty often for my course. i just never retain any information and get rusty whenever i go back to it.

Luke73 · 22-25, M

@looping I guess the second time you learn things quicker.

looping · 18-21

@Luke73 yeah that's true. it does get a tiny bit easier each time xD

Luke73 · 22-25, M

@looping And eventually you're a pro at it!

looping · 18-21

@Luke73 maybe in a few decades

Luke73 · 22-25, M

@looping Best of luck with it then anyway!
