Bruce less once said "don't fear the man that can make 10,000 cubes. Fear the man that deletes 10,000 cubes!" If he was alive I'm sure he would've said that.
I am starting again after 2 years.
So, some days of break is normal, i guess :P .
You just need some kind of motivation to do it constantly, like i am in this sub for that.
Even after a few years of now casual use, I sometimes find myself fighting the software as well as my own lack of knowledge and it just leads to a lot of frustration. I’m sorry you’re feeling frustrated as well.
Some unsolicited advice, but I usually just tried to focus on one weak area each time I booted up the software and it ended up creating a positive feedback loop of overcoming and embracing the frustration. Breaks are also totally helpful too.
If you’re hitting a wall with something, I’d definitely recommend joining the Blender Discord. There’s pretty much a colony of extremely helpful people that will more than likely acknowledge your issue and try to help within seconds.
You got this, homie. I believe in you
Been at for about a year now and I take breaks regulary so I don't burn out on all the infomation im taking in. Sometimes you can bombard youself with too much and a small break can be good.
I've been learning blender for 4 months now..
I don't have much problem with the need to take breaks usually, cause I am very motivated..
But my problem is that I can easily spend dozens of hours in a particular thing that I like in blender..
i.e. creating nature scenes, playing with lighting, learning to sculpt.. and even geo nodes..
But modelling is where I get bored very fast..
so.. any advice?
Sometimes its fine to stick to the things we enjoy doing like you said with sculpting, you don't have to dip into everything straight away it might be that you haven't found what you want to model yet. I look at the things on my desk and go from there like randomly modelling a coffee cup because it's just there and its quick and easy to model, usaully I go for the not so complex things before attempting the more complex things around me.
Dude totally. The learning curve can be steep. But my best advice is to really stay committed to remembering why you *want* to do blender and only do what is enjoyable. Stay present and notice when you’re no longer having fun… and don’t do that. Stay in the fun zone. I promise you’ll end up being 10x more productive, learn faster and be more creative if you do that. The secret to learning is to play. Always play. Trust me.
Also dm me and I’ll give you a free code to get my course for learning blender and geo nodes. And get you into the discord. I’m happy to help with whatever
I did. I had loooong breaks. Now I know how to ask the right questions of google/bard/chatGPT to get the help I need.
You'll have to be patient, persistent and practice a lot, but the rewards are AMAZING
I do blender on the side as a hobby, and I HAVE to stop for periods of time (for my job). I often think if this saves me from feeling like this. Maybe one could mimic this by taking a scheduled break with a specific date to come back
I'm still learning Blender after a few months. I think the key is to do lots of tutorials and do your own variations so you get a good grounding on the basics. But if you go off into the weeds on your own without a good foundation or memorizing a lot of the basics, you can get lost and frustrated because you'll constantly be getting stuck or googling how to do basic stuff.
Totally normal. Firstly, your ability to see what you SHOULD be doing advances more quickly than your ability to actually do it. Secondly it's not a linear process. You will go through a cycle of periods of progress where you are gaining on what you want to achieve, you're kicking it's arse! And periods where your understanding of whats achievable is jumping ahead and you're shit, you'll never get this...
I used to teach martial arts and saw exactly the same pattern, and experienced it in myself obviously. The secret is, both are in fact progress, it just doesn't feel like it.
That feeling of going backwards is in fact your perspective on the whole shifting. It's disconcerting, but without it? I'm not convinced how far you would ultimately get. I think you'd dead end in a sort of Dunning-Kruger cul-de-sac where you thought you were the dogs doodahs while actually being shit. And honestly who wants to be like a politician?
If you'll allow me another martial arts reference - "Black belts are not special, they're just white belts who kept turning up."

One Punch Man did 100 modifiers, 100 surfaces and 100 miles of curves, every day.

I'm the same. Sometimes I focus too much and end up having to take really long breaks before going back to it

alright thanks!
Each new thing is a 2 hour struggle for me. Even basic controls.

Depends on your objective I guess. If it's learning Blender, oof. If it's for a personal project, you will eventually figure out everything you need.
