I failed and I will laugh while I cry
Motion Designer seems like a laughable aspiration right now..
I love rendering, animation, and, 3D Art it’s common knowledge. I feel like my life’s a joke right now and one day it might be funny, but not yet. I know I'm probably being too hard on myself and it's not that serious, but I'm really upset. This week I really wanted to try a simple fluid simulation and everything was going well until it wasn't.
I tried to follow this tutorial:
I was really excited to try out fluid simulation because I've been wanting to attempt it for a while and this tutorial seemed easy enough to follow. Halfway through I realized that this tutorial doesn't work with the newest version of Blender without a bunch of extra tweaks that I just don't know how to do, but there is no warning in the description. There is one buried in the comment section now so that was helpful.
That's about all I got before everything went to hell and I realized that the newest version doesn't allow you to place an emitter into a closed object and still function as it supposed to. For some reason you can't even see this animation in solid view I don't know why. Again as I titled, let's not talk about it. The other video that this artist has as an updated version of this isn't even the same form so I couldn't even adapted if I tried. I would've had to start all over and it was a laborous for me to even figure out this far. There are a lot of other fluid videos I tried but I could figure out none of them and as a bonus they’re all outdated or too complex so that's as far as my fluid simulation goals went. If anyone finds decent one for any reason let me know please!
To make matters worse, I then tried to dial it all the way back and do a primitive cube which is rigid body drop . I don't even know if you could go as far as calling it a success since it didn't import into Aero no matter what or render out for that matter, but nevertheless here's a screen recording of what it looks like just in case you want to laugh at my failures with me.
Here is my attempts to put it into Aero and miserably failing
I genuinely don't know what to say. I'm being sort of dramatic for comedy sake and I'm not really that upset about this going horribly wrong, but I really am a little bit frustrated about it.
It just seems like the one time that I actually find something that is functional and fun it never turns out right when I try to show what I'm capable of. Contrary to my body of work for the past two weeks, in this course I am relatively versed in 3D renders and animation. Granted I'm not capable of creating anything completely independently quite yet, but I understand the pipeline and the uses for each part. I know I'll get better and I'll practice more by specifically dedicating more time outside of class and requirements to work more on stuff that makes me happy and that interests me. I'm sure one day or I will be proud of the progress I've made and I am overall,but I can't lie at the moment I just feel really down.
