Aimlessness

[Qonfused]

What is it with you and anuses?

You're banned, so I'm cool with this post.

Nevermind...


What's your alternative? What harm is there in taking one class a couple days a week for a few short months?

There's no harm in it. I didn't say it would be harmful. I just don't necessarily think it's right for me. But it is something I do consider from time to time.

As much as you want to deny it, they're right. You've definitely gotta get out, get a job, and find a life outside of the house. Once you get out, you'll deffo find a reason to stick with something.

As long as you stay inside, you'll be as free as you want to flutter in between all of these hobbies. It's some shitty ass freedom, as i'm sure you've already figured out. Gotta find something that motivates you to stick to one of your hobbies and really let it blossom, and you aren't going to find that inside.

I say you go outside and get an active hobby. It'll help you figure out what you like. You can please the mind as much as you want, same with the body, but until they're both happy, nothing will make sense.

Think about it this way. If you can't find a life outside of your house, then what's the point of being alive inside of it?

School would be good for you not to expand your abilities, but to expand your entire mind. You seem like you're frozen in some sort of infinitely depressing routine that revolves around being home, and going to school would be an excellent way to break it.

YOU BETTER MAKE A REPLY TO THIS POST

They're right to an extent, I'll admit that. I think it could do a lot of good for me, and my outlook on life if I get back out there into the world... rather than cooped up like a pigeon.

I have been out there with a job before quite a few years past, and doing things, and I still faced this same issue with my 3D modeling.

There is merit and truth to me in the other ways I will benefit by getting out of the house though.

And yes, it is shitty ass freedom. I don't consider it freedom at all. I consider myself caged and trapped, and it's made all the more frustrating by the fact that I am a willful prisoner and can leave any time I bring myself to do it.

Start working on a portfolio! You cant become a 3D artist without an portfolio...

-Practice polygon modelling (low poly)
-Try UVW mapping
-Texture something
-make some pretty renders of what you made

do this a few times, till you have a few cool props/characters

-put them in a portfolio

-apply as a modeller in a mod team

-put that on your portfolio

-look for a 3D job

-PROFIT!


oh and get out of your god damn house, go for a run or something.
When your putting on your shoes to leave the house, ffs, keep them on and proceed with your plan. Stick it to the man dude...

: )

edit: Oh and Raz, if you have any questions or want advice on starting your 3D modelling career, i here for ya buddy, pm me. <3

Portfolio would be a good idea. But honestly, I think I need to abandon my 3D modeling dreams and leave them to nothing more than a hobby. I have never seemed to be able to let the artistic side in me out, whether it's with 3D modeling or my writing(which I was also incredibly passionate about for a long time).

because it is, in your particular case. not only does it teach you things you might not have discovered on your own but it prepares you for how things are done in a workplace enviroment. Then there's contacts/networking with peers/potential employees etc. anyways you'd be surprised how much you'll get out of a class as opposed to just relying on what you learn yourself. my skills in quarkXpress and illustrator jumped immensly when I took a course years ago ..and best of all since I was already familiar with the program I was leaps and bounds ahead of the class. that experience proved invaluabe as half the illustrator class dropped out before the end; too little time to develop skills on such a complex program/concept. some of the people who were in the class had no prior computer experience (this was in the pre-interweb days)

bottom line; you need to get out of your routine; set up a schedule. get up at a decent hour, go to the employment center, work on a portfolio (if you go this route, you must commit yourself to working with a goal in mind within a specific timeframe, it'll teach you to budget time; think of it as a deadline). do something productive with your life. once you have a definate goal/purpose you'll start feeling better about yourself

I'm just going to keep this response short and say that in an unusual rare moment(apart from politics) I agree with you.

Like others suggested focus on finishing projects you start, even if you don't feel motivated, force yourself to finish. Build up a portfolio. If you only like 3d modeling and don't like texturing and other stuff, focus on that in particular.

Yeah. I need to force myself.

There's no harm in it. I didn't say it would be harmful. I just don't necessarily think it's right for me. But it is something I do consider from time to time.

So go and do it. I think (and hope) you will be proven wrong when you say it's not for you.

Raz how old are you?

Don't you feel ashamed that you scrounge of your parents all day when you are now a man?
Get a job at least.

Trying to attack me like that does not contribute anything to the discussion.

 

[Vegeta897]

If there's anything we can learn from the number of these threads you've made Raziaar, nothing contributes to the discussion.

 

[Sheepo]

Do what you feel you must do. Act with no hesitation. This is your only life.

Wrong.

 

[Vegeta897]

Oh get a sense of humor. You understood my joke.

 

[Raziaar]

What joke? You're going to have to spell it out for me.

 

[Vegeta897]

The discussion is about how to improve your life, and since it seems to never improve after countless threads, nothing is really contributing.

AND YES I KNOW THAT'S NOT ENTIRELY TRUE BUT THAT'S WHY IT'S A JOKE

 

[Dalamari]

Rape is good for motivation.

in the asshole.

Fixed.

Fine. I'll stop making them.

 

[Sledgehammer]

Fine. I'll stop making them.

Don't give in!

Anyway, get some kind of occupation. Just something. Go to school or get a job or whatever. Your free time will feel more productive this way.

 

[VirusType2]

^ So true.

I was sick in bed for a couple of days, and when I was feeling a little better, I got up and got more done in a day than I had in the past month. And the next day, I got even more done.

Having a job and a few days off makes you REALLY take advantage of any free time you get.

 

[Jintor]

Fine. I'll stop making them.

Or mayhaps you should improve your life?

I'm with Veggie on this one. Get out there and do something. Getting a job certainly sounds like the right way to go. Or going for community classes. Raz, it sounds almost like you have some kind of psych condition.

At least get out of that door and go back on those long walks like you used to. It's just a small thing, but it's at least representative of freedom.

Raz, you can't give up.

 

[Raziaar]

I'm probably going to end up like my mom... in a mental home.

 

[Jintor]

With a freaking attitude like that you almost certainly will. : |

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Well, so long as they give you a computer...

 

[No Limit]

Fine. I'll stop making them.

Yes, stop making them. Your next threads like this better be about how school is going for you; if it's the exact same shit as this I'll be disappointed.

 

[repiV]

Yeah, not being funny, but why bother asking for advice and then not taking it. Over and over again. Are you just after the attention?

At the end of the day, there's only one way you can fix your problems, and that's by going out there and doing all the things you're afraid of doing. And keep doing them until it becomes comfortable.

Several years ago I was totally reclusive too. I think I didn't step outside the front door for five months once. Well, sure glad I sorted that shit out. Go for a walk.

when I really get bored I start snapping pictures of nature. its really relaxing. also i think video games has messed up my brain somehow. in video games like Fallout 3 or Oblivion I'd waste a lot of time exploring for no reason. I could be playing other games in my collection I haven't even touched yet (Warcraft 3, Farcry 2, etc) but I just love doing nothing sometimes. and sidequests seem to pull me in just as much as the main quest. except in real life i get distracted and forget to clean my room or organize my life/car better
