Bad Decisions Podcast
Learn the Fundamentals Outside Software
- π‘ Real-world knowledge trumps software skills:
- Don't just learn software; understand the underlying principles of art, like composition, lighting, and camera work. Practical experience with real cameras and lighting setups will significantly improve your digital work.
- π Learn from experts, not regurgitators:
- Seek out instructors with real-world experience in the field you're trying to emulate digitally, like photography for lighting.
- π§ Focus on the "how," not the "where":
- Don't search for how to light in Blender; search for how to light in general. Learn the concepts, then apply them to the software.
- β‘οΈ Translate real-world techniques to 3D:
- Once you understand real-world techniques, you can translate them to the digital world. For example, use a simple plane object as a bounce card for more realistic lighting.
