Just fell on your blog and I am in love with your content !

I always ended up giving myself soft goals, and I never realized until now how hard it is to make them happen without further precisions.

I am a Rigging TD and I want to have better career opportunities and be a better technician in general.

Here my list of goals :

- Python : Improve my understanding by creating small tools for day to day tasks (ctrl creation, skinning transfer, limb creation, etc)

- Rigging : Re-address my fundamentals by creating small setups that shows a specific rigging aspect

The final idea would be to create a project that regroups both of these developments

I am scared but also very hopeful that I will stick to these, and if I take longer than I thought, it is ok because what matters is to get it done

Thank you so much Michael for the inspiration!

These are fantastic! For python, I love the idea of creating small tools to speed up your workflow. Much more digestible than coming up with some massive project. Love it !

Love love this post :) I read and love every one of them.

My (3D) New Years resolutions are.....

Finish all of my courses I paid for/videos and understand all of the content throughly. This includes some of the AAA ones(the comp and learning Maya ones in particular)

Create 1 3D asset per 2 months, modeled, textured, and lit, use whatever software you wish, but prefer quality over quantity. 1 really good fruit > 1 giant mountain

finish 1 section of drawabox each week

painting from life w/Procreate on Ipad at least once every week. One painting and post it. Does not need to be perfect
