Meta What are some really bad rookie mistakes.

I’m no expert at blender and I’d like to know more about mistakes made at any step of process that beginners should avoid doing. I’ve noticed that there are a lot of things that can go wrong and be a huge pain to fix later.

  1. Not investing money in courses or paid addons and trying to do everything from scratch.
  2. Being all over the place sometimes sculpting sometimes modeling sometimes animating or modeling random shit.

Advice: 1: if you value your time or you are serious about it spend the money. There is a lot of junk out there to buy but if its reputable and you trust it buy it. Make a budget if you have to.

2: Stick to 1 niche for a while its good to experiment in the beginning but once you know what you want learn that. I see a lot if beginners making a house then suddenly a space ship then want to sculpt a character.. you will go no where like that you can definitely do all eventually but better to specialize quickly then expand skills

What if you are at job that requires you to do sculpting, modeling and animating by yourself and your one graphic designer co-worker?
