My daugther(18) and I(47) create a comic series at https://www.instagram.com/arghhhcomics/.
We use Inkscape and Gimp for them.
Now we have animated series coming up, called Misunderstood, where daughter is exploring blender. She is just starting, but loving it.

I have the vision for VR instruments. I'd be very interested in creating something like Smash Drums or Paradiddle VR or some kind of VR-only instrument.
that sounds fun but the audio is probably quite complex. I'm using ableton for audio - and you can't really ship that.
I made a VR drumming setup and got the sounds from abelton. my thinking was if I ever wanted to release I'll have to take care of it then but only then :)
other than that you can build entirely generative sounds.

#103O use daily Adobe (Ps, Pr, Ae, Il, LrC, Au, Id). 6 years ago I was working in UE4 over year in indie game studio that failed on kickstarter but assets was later bought by other developers.

Re: Ask HN: Any Artists on HN?
#105Meta question, at what point can you call yourself an artist? After you finish a painting, story, or song? When you sell something you’ve created? Artist isn’t a well defined title.
I guess just like art, it is subjective.
as you see my original curiousity was regarding specific 3D tools and I got a variety of answers. it's kind of emergent property given by society. if a tree fell in the forest is it really a tree? that kind of thing.
if I'm being serious about it I'd say (roughly) minimum 6 months of effort given to study & creation. idk.

Not an artist but I made a project which purpose was to show maps (OSM, Google) on 1bit displays (low resolution eInk) and of course needed the impression of more than 2 colors to show shading and certain details. I wouldn't call it "dither punk" and am not sure if that's even what you are looking for.
Are the results online somewhere?
Quickly put together three sample frames from the application before sent to the display (1bit bitmaps)
Never really bothered (because not project scope) but in theory should work with any content/image really.

#108Generative Art based on physics and nature, Krakow. First I started with Processing, then switched to Python. On the technique: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344327257_Generativ...

not sure if it's rude to ask, but have you had any buyers of your nfts?

This is a hobby I took up as well a few years ago, couple with a few Udemy courses, etc. It's good fun, and, as somewhat of a legendary "anti-talent" at drawing (mostly according to my family), I found that it's surprisingly easy to pick up. As in, given the right coaching, you can produce something that motivates you to keep improving, literally on day one. I had just never really tried before, or not in the right w…
Recommend any good courses on it? I have anxiety about trying new things because I HATE HATE HATE the suck at the beginning stage. Took me forever to pickup guitar because of it, but would LOVE to actually start doing digital art.
What worked well for me was [1]. It is a general pencil drawing course that covers the basics. Having said that, there is an exercise in the beginning that has you draw a human eye region by following the presenter, and the results for me were way better than I imagined.
Later on, I did a bunch of oil painting courses which were non-digital, but I followed along using ArtRage [2], which I find has some of the best natural media simulation (especially for oils), for a digital program. Clearly, this is a bit of a niche within the hobby, so I won't list courses, but here are plenty of excellent ones.

the learning curve on these things is steep. that is to say your progress as a beginner is exponential.
if you're into 3D I can recommend Imphenzia low poly on YouTube. I always had an interest in 3D but that really got me into it, sort of "soft landing" considering how relatively easy it is. from there is easy to branch out to advanced topics.
