The SMEAF method is gold! Thank you for the shoutout too :)

[KevinMerinoCreations]

Being on the customer end of the equation at this point in my career, I think you are providing some very sound advice to those starting the journey on this path. Great job! 👏👏👏

[JustPlainRob]

Instructions unclear. Giving up on 3D to become a professional Minecraft player.

[jurgenvantomme]

Your video's and 3D work are always great and your storietelling is incredible. Thank you for sharing your advice, it's inspiring.

[grilldj]

Thank you for this well-thought out process.

For those struggling to learn Blender, I have a suggestion. Cut down on the YT procedural tutorials and use that time to understand the details of the program. Don’t eliminate tutorials, but cut back and read the sections of the manual that apply to your situation. Digest the information you read and experiment to fully grasp it.

For example, I have some models I’ve imported for a huge scene I’m working on. Some models are nearly a million faces, and Blender is choking. Rather than Google a solution, I remembered reading about the decimate modifier in the manual. I pulled up that page in the manual, learned the 3 different methods, and really absorbed the differences. Planar worked best for me because it uses angle constraints, which is perfect for the vehicles I was trying to crush.

Point is, you can do the same for every speed bump you come across without relying on someone else (videos).

Of course, business and career advice like this video are pure gold, and well worth the time spent. Thank you, Smeaf!

[jasonpartridge]

you literally inspired me, thank you so much for taking the time to make this to help so many of us!

[SneekeeMonkee]

This has been one of the single-most helpful and clear videos explaining this entire process

THANK YOU for making this.

I've heard these topics attempted to be explained by marketing bros for a while now, and hearing it from another creative brain really, really helped

[FilmFlicks]

Ive been checking your page every day for over a week waiting for this, thank you.

[cyn]

Even as a 2d pixel artist, this has set aside my fears and set up my humble little freelance page... THANK YOU!

[ibored]

The last part about finding is great, ill bookmark this vid and save it for later when i get abit better at 3d. Thanks for the great video

[GilliganTF]

Thanks Smeaf, this video will help me a lot because i want to work with 3D stuff

5:30 i started this after calling you the Mr. Beast of Blender 💀

[kzx_gaming]

I really appreciate this man for all the free advice that he gives generously

[NotAe_Username]

I am in absolute love with this video. And watching all the way to the end felt exciting for me and understanding each word for word. Now I’m only 13 and don’t have that good of a PC rn, so I can’t really make money yet but I eventually will and soon blender will be fully connected into my daily life. As soon as I found and played around with blender like it was my favorite video game to play all the time, I found my true career. I love the Smeaf method you made, and you make such amazing and helpful videos. Keep up the work my guy.

Smear, you are a legend! Super useful advice for any freelancer

[rubenscheer]

Hi man, thank you so much for creating this video. I am a freelance 3d designer and animator based in amsterdam, working almost 7 years as a freelancer. Most of my clients are Ad agencies, because I have worked in that field before my freelance career. Through the I work for A-brands. Sometimes it feels like I need to stop freelancing, but looking at this video it reminds me to continue doing what I love. I am currently trying to switch from having ad agencies as clients to have more (small) brands as my clients, so that I can charge more. I feel often the lowest on the stack, if that makes sense. Thanks for the tips. I subscribed. Looking forward to see more from you. Cheers, Ruben!

[britsyelyse]

I totally appreciate your editing and narration style. Im giggling the whole time and learning a lot. I normally dont really pick up on this stuff too well so im glad this is done they way you've edited. Thank you so much, Smeaf.

i love how this video can be compressed down to "After ten years of experience i realized the thing i should have had in the beginning of my journey was ten years of experience"
