I feel this guy, 8-16 hours a day creating on this end, it is great to take a day or two off for sure, it really isn't healthy, but when you are passionate about what you do, you can easily overlook some important things in life. Thank you very much for the video, really cool to know that there are other people out there who pour their life into this stuff as well.

Totally get that, it's hard to measure how much time you should also take off to live just life and not being doing or think about art.

Man! Even the best artist's out there like Marco still feel somewhat unsatisfied with their works and also feel depression really say something. Him giving advice based on his experience of how get through them is just admirable. THANKS!

Marco Plouffe is the best!!!

His struggles are so relatable to any artists of any craft. Really connected with what he said as a music producer

Glad he mentioned alex senechal. Hes an absolute beast and I took his class on visual design. Learned a lot

Loved this interview! Just discovered your channel and loving it

Really useful insights from this interview. Really nice to see how Honest Marco Plouffe is talking about all the feelings an artist goes through when it comes to value the quality of your own work. It really gives you good vibes that with time and effort you will get better.

I love these detailed models

it's always the best to hear marco talking, such an amazing interview with much cool content and great answers to a really good questions!

Man, I love Marco's art. I once had the chance to go to one of his workshops but it was the start of 2020 and the lockdowns became official about a week before it :(. o well, maybe in the future. (this was through work)

Marco is dope ! Thankss for such video !

Great interview. You ask good questions and are a great listener!

Thank you for the honest interview! It's interesting to get experience from a professional artist...especially when it comes to the whole issue of burn-out, struggle etc.

always a good day when jhill posts

I've never heard of "IMM(?)." Contextually, it seems to be another way to say kitbash, but what does it stand for? Fascinating conversation. As the host said, it is very helpful to hear someone this talented talk about having imposter syndrome. I was just offered a dream job as a 3D artist with great pay and benefits. I haven't even started, but I already worry they'll quickly discover I'm actually not good. It doesn't help that I'm moving 2,200 miles away for the job... 😅

Marco is super awesome!! I just need a better computer so I can get to that 350Mil poly count like him...

How the hell does he get anything "clean" with Zremesher ? When I use it, it makes the absolute worst topology of all times even on simple shapes... Anyway, the part about burnout is exaclty how I feel most of the time. It's weird how our mood affects how we see things.🙃

@@mariolopez-oi2td Yeah I use that, with "polish by feature" to have clean angles, but still, most of the time the result is not good enough, if you're going to make specific details at specific places there might not be the right topology, and the edge loops don't allow for clean bevels.
