    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!

    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.

      Funny thing, my best friend from high school dated a girl that ended up "dating" Tony Johns while she was an "exotic dancer". He would show up in her snap chat stories in 2012. It absolutely blew my mind when he was on YMH.
      Anyways, loved the interview. Really appreciate you talking about mental aspects of thing and how it's okay to take breaks. Thanks for the inspiration! @@marcogifuni999

    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... 😅

    • @artofjhill
      @artofjhill  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Congrats on the new job! IMM stands for “insert multi mesh” and it’s a Zbrush thing. It allows you to have a brush with whatever models you want in it to place however you want to do kit bashing

      @@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.
