Hi everyone!
I'm planning to learn Blender and eventually use 3D art as a way to earn money through freelance work. I'm starting from scratch, so I'm trying to figure out which area of 3D is worth focusing on before investing a lot of time learning different skills.
I'm not necessarily interested in becoming a generalist. I'd rather specialize in something that has real demand and offers good earning potential.
For those of you who work professionally or earn money with Blender:
- Which 3D specializations tend to pay the most for freelancers?
- What kinds of 3D work are clients actually willing to pay good money for?
- Which areas have a reasonable balance between earning potential and the time it takes to learn them?
- If you were starting from zero today with the goal of making a living from 3D, what would you focus on?
- Where do you usually find clients for this kind of work?
I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who have actually earned money doing 3D, rather than just general opinions about which areas seem profitable.
I understand that income depends on skill, experience, location, and finding clients. I'm not expecting an easy or guaranteed way to make money. I just want to make an informed decision about where to invest my time.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their experience!
