Question for the 3D animation community 🌍🎬

What's one thing about being a 3D animator that people don't understand until they've tried it themselves?

From modelling and rigging to animation, lighting, rendering, and revisions, there's a lot that happens before the final result is ready.

Sometimes, the hardest part is making people understand why something that looks simple can take so much time to create.

I'd love to hear from fellow 3D artists and animators:

What's your biggest challenge right now as a 3D animator?

I'd especially love to hear different perspectives from artists working in games, films, freelance projects, and independent studios.

Let's talk, share experiences, and learn from each other. 👇

I do my best work when I'm excited about it. This took me under 2h from start to finish. Might have to get more selective about the projects I take on from now on.

The tilted bottle with moss and tiny flowers makes a morning mist feel fresh, and the label stays readable while it turns. Would you cut a 6 second version of this for paid social?
