Hello, I need to get something off my chest. For the past 8 months, I've been deeply immersed in learning Blender. It has been an incredible journey, starting from scratch and progressing to the point where I can create complex projects. I've felt a great sense of pride in myself and in what I've achieved. But now, after rendering my latest project, a heavy, nagging thought has crept into my mind: "What am I doing this for?" The enormous amount of time and effort required to create something from scratch now feels overwhelming and, frankly, not worth it anymore. I want this to be my career, but it seems like a distant, unreachable dream. It feels like 3D artists are fading into obscurity in today's world. The idea that a large company would ever notice someone like me seems painfully unrealistic, and selling assets won't guarantee anything. I can't help but wonder if this path is truly meant for me. Its disheartening to think that despite all the progress I've made, I'm now questioning the very purpose of it all. The joy and satisfaction I once felt have been overshadowed by a sense of futility and doubt. submitted by /u/kentaiii3 [link] [comments]
