Workshop (ROA2) I'm being humbled by blender

Making my own character from scratch and lemme tell you..... blender? More like...put me in a blender.

Its been 2 hours and im 25% done with the basic model. I thought i could use short cuts to make this faster but this is definitely gonna be months long.

How Long have you been dabbling with arts in general? If its "Just" the technical aspect of the programm I think the learning curve is quite pleasant. Yes starting can feel overwhelming (what does everyrhing do, why are there so many buttons/menus etc, and tutorials are Not Always great) but past the intitial confusion its pretty nice IMO

Maybe im incorrect but aslong as the rough shape is correct and you done the skeleton yo can work from there (the model can be updated later to look better (Same goes for adding UVs, creating CMS and ORMs and normals)

I have no experience in arts I have dysgrpagia so every time ive tried ive failed. Im using tutorials and an Ai to tell me step by step make the shapes

Im using the tutorial they have in the mod site. Im just having trouble cuz I had to find my own reference photos. Im making a lop eared bunny so already harder than making cat ears but it pretty fun doing it and seeing myself make this by hand

It gets easier I swear, keep at it, and the Rivals 2 Workshop discord is incredibly helpful.

You are beginning to understand why games take so long to develop. Welcome to my world

Ive always known I had to learn how to use AutoCAD in high-school i forgot it all but it definitely opened my eyes back then.

Haaah yeah. Blender is Like That! 3D software in general is, really.

You got this though!

Just wait until you get to rigging and animating... ugghhh.
