well last year I did a 365 of doing daily 3d artwork, this year I’m planning to put some of those into unreal…
-
what I’m thinking, do a small project, just anything you know you can finish - just enough so you can finish it, give it a day, a week to call it finished, and upload the result somewhere…
-
giving yourself a deadline helps you push it out, and doing just anything helps you get motivated, cause you finished a thing, you’re happy…
-
just completing projects is giving you some empowering feeling…
-
and then you could jump at bigger stuff…
-
saying all of this, I still didn’t make a single thing in UE, still learning about the ui and working out a new pipeline… will see how it goes, for starters I just plan on building scenes in UE once I get my pipeline going… at a point where I have to pause and learn new stuff…
-
try and do simple things you can finish in a day, to build up your feelgood factor… just anything, stick to a steady set of tools, and play with those, if you learned enough put it to good use, don’t waste time learning if you feel it’s enough, pump it out mindlessly, interesting things happen by accident, and your brain is in creative mode when you’re not “thinking” actively, you have to relax into it and reach that flow
…just finish a project up and call it done, it doesn’t matter if it’s not perfect, just make it look finished - too much perfectionism will make you quit early
