Some of these are serious, some are not. Just a few bits of advice that may prove useful to people.
- If you do not feed your creative side how can you expect it to be creative? Even a car needs petrol/ gas
- Also I you are older than 30 and ask a stupid question I will then treat you like a five year old with brain damage from then onwards
- If you are afraid to learn new things then please fuck off out of 3D as some of us are busy trying to improve things ;)
- I see the aim of good software as freeing the artist not replacing them. Augmentation not replacement
- Making software for idiots that automates stuff to bringing it to simply button pressing is not the answer. Innovation for innovations sake is not the answer. It must serve a purpose to the artist.
- But in my view it must be sympathetic innovation and not just for the sake of 'ooh shiny things!' Hire innovators not followers of trends
- If there is a trend ..I will avoid it as that means its already too popular and bordering on cliché. Break moulds prepare to piss peeps off
- Facts often get in the way I a good software promo in many cases. Disturbing trend.
- Developers should not wall artists I in 3d software. Allow things you can't see a reason for. As someone will. And it may be revolutionary.
- Ask yourself the questions that seem too silly to count. A good artist knows when to be a child again.
- Mind you a good artist should also know where the neared bar is and best pizza place as well lol
- I remember a quote from a Gutenberg book on da vinci from his notebooks.. "An artist works best I a tiny room, not a large one". Which does indeed seem to be true. ..always has been for me. Maybe I should move my rig into a bathroom lol. some of best work I ever done has been done in tiny box rooms. Too large and ideas seem to lessen.
- Greatest skill I ever learned was how to brainstorm with myself
- I have been told I am 'weird' as I listen to techno and house music first thing on a morning at work. Really? Makes motivational sense to me.
- Science backs me up on this apparently: Alcohol for inspiration, caffeine for getting shit done.
- There are still a lot of stupid people out there who judge a book by its cover…. Judge people by their actions and intelligence not how they look, talk, or the religion they believe in or the country they are from.
