Art hour lasted a little longer than an hour this evening. That is good, I am getting into it.
Todays scene has the robot from last time, but this time he is in a room, a man (stick figure) walks across (slides) the room, out the door, before our little chap gets into action.
I am still doing nearly all my work in object mode, so soon it is time to go looking for some more tutorials, and start doing some modeling rather than just using primitive objects for all of my work.
The result is below (ok, will be in a few minutes, still rendering out currently).
OK, that took longer than expected, had to try a few different formats to not lose all of the quality due to compression, but here it is…
I have a problem, and I’m willing to admit it. The problem is motivation, and more importantly my complete lack of it.
It is not that I don’t have the tools to make wonderful stuff, as I do. Its not that I can’t learn how to do things, I can.
The problem is that I can never make myself put any effort into doing anything.
I want to become good at blender, but I spent less that 2 hours all of last year working on blender.
There is no way I’ll ever get good at blender, or for that matter anything, if I only put in 2 hrs effort a year.
So, based with this problem, I am trying a new approach.
The new approach is Just Do It. Kind of sounds like a Nike ad doesn’t it?
I have decided that every evening, at the same time if possible, I’m going to have an Art Hour. To start with Art Hour will probably just be 5 or 10 minutes to get myself into it, but I hope to work my way up to an hour (or more) every evening.
Yesterday evening I was tired, and couldn’t be bothered (same old excuse I used all last year), but I decided that Art Hour must go on. I sat and watched a few tutorials.
This evening Art Hour was delayed a little, but in the end I managed to get myself going, and I actually spent nearly an hour on it, which makes me half way through my progress for last year.
So, as my first post about Art Hour, I should put something up, so here is what I did this hour (year).
Just a simple Robot which wobbles across the screen. It was mostly taken from the animation I did last time, but now I have worked out how to add materials, colour, etc.
While I was playing with blender, my wife decided to get into Art Hour, and using a tablet and GIMP came up with this…
She says its not finished, but our Art Hour ended for the night 🙂
