I have made many mistakes while making my models. For my house in sketchup, the wall would disappear! Then when I would try to export it in Blender, the windows on the beck would give me trouble. Then with my model I had to try so many times to make a spin and it just wouldn't work. I have so many extra files from when I would try to make a spin with my sculpture. The thing with 3D modeling with these computers is you have to have patients, you can't always have the best model or best example, you have to go at your own pace and challenge yourself slowly to make your model and portfolio have what it needs.
This video I had a lot of trouble making. The non - light sculpture was easy, but this one took days. The first problem that I had was trying to import my correct sculpture with the right colors. Then I would try to make the sculpture glow and when I would try to keyframe it, the sculpture would not move. Lastly When I rendered it, the sculpture was going so slow! I gave the sculpture to my teacher and he rendered it!
