The Art of Starting Over

Here's a quick tip in 3D modeling...


You might spend hours on something, but then you realize you need to throw it out and start over. That's an important and difficult lesson to learn and to keep in mind.

Even though you're spending hours on it, it's not the modeling that takes that time... it's the learning. You throw out the modeling, but you still retain all the learning.

So you might be modeling a hand for 6 hours. Then you throw it away, start over, and complete a much better hand in 40 minutes. 3D animation is the process of teaching yourself how to learn 3D animation.
