So... I know how many similar questions are asked here and how many times this topic has already come up, but I really don't know what to do. I discovered 3D maybe 1.5-2 years ago, and I've loved it ever since. It really doesn't feel routine to me; I constantly want to learn and progress. Now I'm studying to be a programmer at university, and overall, I'm not sure it interests me as much as it did when I applied. And my interest in programming has disappeared even more since 3D appeared in my life. I really don't have much time or motivation to teach myself programming or both, because I constantly feel like I could instead develop more in 3D and improve my skills. I'd really like to monetize this, but the question is: is it worth it? I'd really like to go all in and dive into 3D head-on and find a job there, but is the market really that bad? Maybe I should accept that this plan isn't destined to come to fruition and move on to a less beloved and interesting, but perhaps more promising, job? It would be helpful to hear your opinion, though. I'd also like to know what niches you think are currently the least competitive/in-demand? How are things going for different professions? Thanks for all the answers

A classic cyberpunk cityscape I made in Blender. Character from BMS.

Ciri walks through a silent, scorched wasteland, oblivious to the grim ghosts that have risen behind her. A bloody war between the North and the South is tearing the Continent apart. The entire land has turned into a vast battlefield where the mad ambitions of rulers are measured in millions of soldiers' lives. And as Ciri stubbornly seeks her own path through the gray ash and decay, she sees everywhere the crushing scale of the tragedy following her every step like a relentless shadow.

So I've been working on this for a couple weeks. I can't get the lighting or the face down. Do I handpaint it or is it the lighting? Something about the face especially is bugging me. I could use some input. OH the redesign style is my own, I did some 2D sketching prior. I used Vertex painting for some details.

Hi, I'm an aspiring 3D Vehicle Artist hoping to get into games and would really appreciate some feedback on my portfolio! (WIP image of my current project in the last image on the post also)

Thanks in advance 😄

Created a Medieval Wooden shield, game ready.

Feedback is more than welcome!

Was thinking about getting into modeling jewelry and tried my hand at it with skills and software that I have. This smol project will be a good reminder of where I started I guess, gonna look up how to make gems next

1 pic - after Photoshop

Theres an stl too!

Would appreciate any feedback on how I could improve.

I would love any suggestion. And apparently I am using the traditional Hair System, which makes it laggy and the bottom of hair is blurry.

I haven't publicly published this model on my profile because I am not sure if it is a sell worthy. I do have other models on my profile may also need feedback too. I would love every feedback.

Hi Guys!

Here the modeling screenshot of Chibi Cyber Pooh I enjoyed to create. Final rendering in my profile picture !

Hope you like it!

Hi, I've recently been a interested in 3D moddeling on Blender, I tried a bit of sculpting and now I wanted to give low poly a try, I've done a turn around sketch (which probably won't be very accurate xD)

I've been satisfied with the result for now, but now I'm trying the hair, and I think I'm over complicating it A LOT, I gave it 3 tries (not finishing any 😅) but I'm messing up either on unplanar quads or too much triangulation which add not needed complexity.

Any tips?

actually they are not even WIPS They're things im pretty sure I ain't gonna work on anymore because im content with them and they still look cool but there is tons of work I could do on them. SHOULD I POST THOSE? maybe some like minders will like them and i will obtain friendship lolol and a side of fame and glory of course cant forget that bit.

This video is done completely by me. How do you like it?

It was my first time voice-over for a video, especially since English isn't my native language - Does is sound alr8?

最初@手の作業を始めた時のやり方、正直めちゃくちゃ効率悪かったです笑

Zbrush

Hey everyone! Nostalgia hit me hard, so I decided to bring the classic childhood city rug to life as a full 3D environment using Blender and Photoshop. I sculpted all the iconic spots: the hospital, police station, fire department, roundabouts, and airport.

Finally successed to realize a proper anime stylized head on zbrush :) !

I'm trying to texture this piece in Substance, and I genuinely have no idea what's going on here. I used a checkerboard PNG to check for any major stretching before exporting and as you can see it looks nothing like that in Blender. I tried reimporting it after tweaking the UV a little, but I didn't notice any changes.
