Is 3D animation and sculpting a worthwhile hobby if youre not getting paid for it in any capacity? Most people I have met or seen with the same taste for doing it are all either already employed in this field, doing odd-jobs via commissions or have a Patreon. I have really been itching to get into it again but im a medicine student and I cant afford the time without ditching my degree completely to work exclusivly on 3D art. I wouldnt be particularly troubled by this prospect but I live in an absolutely horrid and cruel third world shithole (Brazil) with a non existant animation industry, I would probably be starving if I decided to become a full time animator unlike what happens in the US where you can still have some degree of comfort, I have an EU citizenship and I could try to study at an university there and run for jobs overseas but the trade off from here to another country would not be worth it either and I cant afford it ATM. Can you still find enough time for this hobby if youre not activly devoting half of your life to it?
>>1029698Used to be my main timesink back when I was a teen and I considered working with it full time for quite a while but I dont know if my current situation with being a med student gives me enough time for it, I like it too much to leave it aside though
>>1029698Is *any* hobby a worthwhile hobby if you're not getting paid?But if it's your work then it's not a hobby. The hobby is the thing you do on the side, so set aside a bit of time for it.It's really a question for >>>/adv/ that has nothing to do with 3d in particular.But also if you have to ask an internet image board then obviously don't ditch your medicine studies to work on 3d.
