There's a learning curve for sure. A lot of the tutorials on YouTube aren't very helpful. Some are downright awful. This guy's channel really helped it click for me. You can just start by following his lessons and at some point it'll click and then you can start designing really basic stuff like drawer organizers, which are essentially just cubes, and then work your way up from there. It does take time though.
Yeah I went through his channel too but something about it just doesn't seem compatible with my brain, lol. Like I said, I really should just sell my printers. They haven't been used in 2+ years and are just sitting here taking up space and collecting dust.
Production design online has good f360 tutorials. The 30 days series is what got me over the hump. Now I'm modeling my own game controllers.
Yep, tried those too. I do appreciate the suggestion though, truly. It's just not something I'm cut out for it would seem. I really do need to look at selling my printers and getting out of the hobby. It was fun for a while, now it's just a chore. Which is probably why I haven't done it in 2+ years, lol.
