    Yeah really true. This time age is so fast and hectic.. but good things take time! Its really important, in before to think about how complex the scene needs to be, to look satisfying. This saved me so lot time because I always wanted to make things that are out of my knowledge and reach.

    here's an easy remedy, whenever you start getting those dark feeling of being impatient / frustrated / not satisfied ... u name it.... just save and get out, go take a break...it'll refresh your brain, than when you'll come back you'll be another person, an art supervisor and you'll correct your work and take it to another level.

    your texture work is beyond talented, that's some really creative workflows you've demonstrated here. Completely agree with the patience thing, that's probably the hardest part to overcome in any larger scene, thanks for also mentioning some of the obstacles you worked through in creating this, makes the whole process so much more relatable and transparent.

    Well well well. This is inspiring beyond belief Ive been working on a film project that im very excited about, and it has alot of the same theming that this scene has. But as you mentioned in this video, its easy to get swept up and feel like its not coming together quick enough. But not just is this one of the most photo real things ive scene a blender artist make, but this has allowed me to fully step back and appreciate how to make something like this. The way you presented adding details simply yet efficiently, aswell as how you tackled the modeling stages with a clear mind is over all encouraging. Im 100% subscribing.
