Also want to quit my job and go deeper into CG. My main problem is that I get stuck sometimes because there seems to be so much to know that I had to start splitting everything into pieces.(like “sekodilemo” mentioned) A day Lightning, then modelling, Animation, texturing… Tried always everything at the same time wich I found useless because a week later, things just got forgotten.
So let’s move on, let’s do some modelling, wish you all the best in your progress
