I have the sudden urge to try my hand at 3D art.
I'll make something 3D and post it here hehe.
OOOH I could make us some crusty emotes!
Is blender hard?

blender is pretty miserable, maybe working in 3d is just shit no matter what and it's not blender's fault, but if 2d art tools were as bad as blender nobody would make digital art.
maybe the process is better in a classroom setting?
Working in 3D is hard no matter the program. Learning how to do it well requires a good grasp of geometry, boundary logic, extrusion and cuts. Basically if you know how to look at a block and what cuts you need to make from it to create something, you can make anything, but if you are thinking of it as a drawing program, it is significantly different.
Animation is awful though and I am very bad at it.
my math fundamentals are decent, it's the gulf between what i expect to be able to do and what i'm able to look up and figure out how to do that's a lot of my problem.
the subdivisions and patterns i can see as a human are meaningless to the machine and functions like select similar, shrinkwrap and select edge loop are so dumb it's frequently faster to drag select hundreds of edges two at a time to fill a gap with faces, or vertices one by one to remove part of something
Yup, sometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn't can only experience can kinda tell the two conditions apart.
