THANK YOU SO MUCH !! I really needed that video 😢 I've been unemployed since 2 years, 2023 was REALLY depressing. I felt like nobody wants junior and I felt stuck. I kinda just let time pass and didn't make new projects. My main problem is... I don't know what I want, and what I should do ! I would love to make toys, or figures, one of my dream is to build one day animatronics (big dinos yeeesssss), but I live in france and i didn't find many places specialized on that.. So I left that aside to focus on animation and video games, thinking i would have better luck, but the industry is really bad these days (I feel like it gets slowly better tho.. Well I hope.) Anyway, I want to improve, I want to be happy, 2024 will be THE year. I wish everyone who are in this situation the best, we can do this !

Il m'a fallu 3 ou 4 ans avant de trouver un job dans l'industrie du JV après mon diplôme, et encore c'était du freelance pour une boîte de sous-traitance, pour de l'environnement ( alors que je voulais être character artist ). Et ce job je l'ai eu avec du piston, le pote d'un pote qui connaissait le patron de la boîte ( j'avais déjà postulé 3 fois chez eux ils m'avaient ignoré ). J'en ai vite eu marre de cette industrie ( bosser 14H par jour y compris le week end pour respecter des deadlines impossibles ) alors je me suis lancé dans les figurines et l'impression 3D. C'est dur de monter un business tout seul, et ça prend du temps, mais tout le monde peut le faire.

@@Texelion3Dprints J'ai pris la même direction que toi au final :) Je fais de l'impression aussi en attendant de trouver un travail. Pour le moment j'ai clairement pas assez de clients pour pouvoir m'épanouir et payer mon loyer, mais ça me permet de survivre tout en appréciant ce que je fais :). Je suis sur Etsy pour le moment mais la taxe fait super mal... J'ai eu la "chance" d'avoir quand même une expérience pro de quelques mois sur une prod catastrophique ou je me suis retrouvée toute seule, sans aucune équipe, je comprends parfaitement que tu aies préféré faire ton business tranquillou J'ai vu que tu avais fait pas mal de commissions (d'ailleurs pas mal les bzez) c'est que du bouche a oreille ? Ou c'est essentiellement grâce aux réseaux ? Si jamais tu as des conseils je suis preneuse, même si je postule tous les jours j'ai pas le sentiment que ma situation va changer 😔

@@Kannaos Les commissions ça a pris du temps, et c'était un peu par hasard en fait. Vu que je trouvais pas de boulot dans un studio de JV je suis devenu auto entrepreneur pour avoir un statut, j'ai fait quelques contrats ici et là, et des gens ont commencé à me demander des modèles de figurines à imprimer. Au bout de quelques années à poster le résultat sur Deviant Art et avec le bouche à oreille j'ai pu en vivre, et l'année dernière j'ai lancé un Patreon. Je sais pas exactement dans quel domaine tu postules, mais de mon expérience c'est une perte de temps. Sauf si tu fais un truc tellement bien que t'es en première page sur Artstation, les studios ça les intéresse pas. Ce qui peut marcher c'est d'aller à des conventions ou tout autre évènement où tu peux rencontrer des gens dans le domaine où tu veux bosser. Avoir des contacts ça marche mieux que d'envoyer des CV et des portfolios qui finissent à la poubelle.

@@Kannaos Ah et si tu vends des fichiers d'impression 3D, je te conseilles Cults3D. Au moins c'est spécialisé dans l'impression, pas comme Etsy, et si quelqu'un vole tes fichiers pour les revendre ils réagissent très vite ( alors qu'Etsy s'en fout en général ).

Where did you get those principles for 3d sculpting? I am really searching for theory to apply because its the only way i can learn. I tried and tried to practice on my own but i just didn't make any progress and my inexperience completely stopped me because i also lack the technical thinking.

I liked the tips so far, at the moment I am liking to sculpt but my experience in coursess as beginner is not good, I've bought some zbrush courses for "beginners" and well I dont like it at all(I've bought 3) The instructor tells about zbrush and how things works, but just don't explain how to do things when sculpting, like, after they teach how the program works they just start doing sculpts and talking but in my mind is always like "how I do this?" should I follow what he is doing or copy every step he is making? it's weird and it bring me down,they teach what each brush does but its like, teaching someone how to draw and instead of showing how to do some parts the guy goes just speedrun drawing everything at once and giving advices that doesnt seem for beginners. If I knew that it would be like that I'd only watch zbrush sculpt timelapse on youtube I really want the appeal academy but right now I cant afford it, well I find your advices very very golden for motivation and mental healthy so thank you.

hey! great video! ..An offtopic question. Do you write script for your videos or this comes naturally as you start speaking and recording?
