Hey Muhznit,
hm i am in 3d since June/July this year, it was something new i want to learn. So i did the first steps, looking to increase the rendered pictures. At first i rendered in a classic way, then i looked into Iray Renders. That looked even better. After that i found two other programms to increase the quality of rendered pictures a lot...with enough time and skill you could create photo realistic pictures. So i tried them out...at first with terrible success...the pictures need a lot more time (normal render time 15 minutes, iray 30 minutes, new render time between 8 and 15 hours sometimes more) and they look very noisy. So i started to learn something about light settings and voila the pictures become even better.
The complete time i often spoke with other 3d Artists like Goldendawn, Phoenixx, The Foxx, GunnerSteve3D and some other, and they helped me a lot to increase my own skill and i am very Thankfull for their help.
It is something other to work in 3d. It makes a lot of fun and sometimes it is very stressfull (mostly to work on poses, light, good color). But i also still draw pictures, but now i can both and i think it is an improvement.
