Hey!

Sorry for the late reply, it's nice to hear that you thought about me

I rarely watched tutorials, most of the time I just read documentations, lots and lots of documentations That way you don't just know what to do, but you understand it as well!

It takes time, and don't try to master every aspect at once, start with modeling simple objects, create different materials for them and set up some sort of lighting, take a look into texturing, after that you can go deeper.

I use 3dsMax, it's an object-oriented program, it's mainly used for creating models for games. Most people in the CG/movie industry uses Maya, it's a node-based 3D program.

You could try Blender as well since it's free, it's node-based like Maya. I tried to switch once, but I couldn't, because I pretty much got used to 3dsMax's UI.

Yeah, I guess I'll try out Blender first, does what I'll learn in Blender could be useful when I start to use object-oriented program such as 3dsMax? How different are the development of 3D scene between a node-based and object-oriented-based program?

If you start with blender and like it, I think you should go towards maya since it's more robust (and generally used in the industry)

Node based and object oriented 3d programs are similar, the UI and the approach is a bit different.

For example: In maya, you link attributes to an object, in max, you apply modifiers to an object.

Thank you!

I've been alright and yes I'm still alive xD

I've had exams, so I kinda ignored the internet (at least some parts of it). For now, I think it was worth it, since I'm part of the 30% who passed this semester

Also been working on getting a drivers' license. I'm almost there, but I decided to delay that exam while I've been doing my uni exams.

How have you been?

You're not dead yass!
30%? it was definitely worth it!
I graduated and now I'm officially a "higher technician" or whatever this translates to. It was stressing and lots of work to do (140 pages written, 2 Raspberry Pi's, a camera, 1500+ lines of code over 5 languages and small electronic circuit). But we got the highest grade on record!
Now I don't know what to do with my lifeam looking for freelance and improving my 3D skills

Yey! \o/

You're so high It's awesome that you got the highest grade, participate in competitions and such and you'll get a job in no time!

I should get back to 3D-ing soon as well (but the problem is that when I have the time I don't have the inspiration and vice versa)

I'm always high  

Yeah, if only that grade meant anything. Oh well, I can hang that diploma somewhere in my room and never use it again

Yeah  I think that's what I'm going to do. I'm polishing my portfolio and at the same time I'm writing a plugin and making models for sale

Exactly! that's why I tried to make a schedule and force myself to learn instead of creating something that needs inspiration

Nice to have something on your wall that's not digital nowadays I guess, printed media is dying

Yep, I should do that as well, and that was what I used to do years ago, but I could only keep up with it for a few weeks per go.

Hmmm... You're right, but it's not like I wouldn't want to be productive, it's just that I need at least 2 hours at a time for me to get immersed in such things.

I'll see if my new job's gonna let me get back into 3D even if not, I'll try to be less lazy and I'll just create random things

Haven't used getline before, but I think the correct is

I made a mistake, you should use a double "=" for comparison, one single means assigning and it will give an error when compiling, if I remember well.
