  • I made a post about a blender project I am working on from my Mastodon and tagged the Lemmy community. This project is pretty dear to my heart, and I wanted it to be seen by many people, so I made the same post on Reddit.

    I got 35 stars on Mastodon + 80 upvotes on Lemmy + many cool comments.

    I got literally no upvotes on Reddit. maybe skill issue on my side but the Fediverse is, in my general experience, so much better when it comes to engagement.

    i strongly disagree. Focusing too early on the fine details rather than the broader shape is a mistake I see lots of beginners make. Sure, there is a place for sculpting these details, but in my opinion, as a beginner, you should not care too much about the details and focus more on getting the big/medium shapes right.

    For doing game-ready stuff, I think it’s almost always a better approach to do the fabric and surface scratches using a height map or other texture paintingapproaches.

    In the end, I want to clarify that this comment may sound more evil than it should have. I totally get that sculpting these details is fun, and in the end, having fun is kind of the whole point of creating art in the first place.
