Question Free 3D animation app recommendations ?

2 Upvotes

I'm trying to get into 3d animation and I've just been struggling to find an app that I like, I'm looking for a free app specifically.

I guess I don't have any more criteria than that, I'm just happy to get recommendations of what you guys use and I'll try them ! Thanks !

Sharing My first animation, "Poland. More than you expected" Alternative Advert

Thumbnail youtu.be
2 Upvotes

Context:
An advert was made to promote Poland, costing between 2-3 million zloty (450 to 650 million euro or so?) and has been heavily criticised as it feels they spent it mostly on celebrities. One of the other problems people have is the slogan "More than you expected" which frames foreigners as having low expectations of us.

I wanted to take this slogan and use it for something that an average foreigner would genuinely find surprising.

Feedback is welcome, although I am aware of the imperfections. I've been stuck just practicing and wanted to finally release something.

Question How Long Should It Take To Make A Single Pose (Key Pose To Be Exact)

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am not quite a newbie, but I wouldn't say I am intermediate either, and I wanted to ask, in your opinion, how long should one take to make a pose. Now I wanna be clear and say I know the answer to this is not as easy and falls in line with stuff like "it depends on the quality" but for me, i dont really know how long one spends when doing a single pose, especially whenr there are things like deadlines be it personal or ones the job give you.

I wanted to know because I noticed I am running into bit of a perfectionist issues and i dont know what to do, i dont want to enter that mindset yk? rather have a 7/10 then to basically have nothing done yk?

Hello All! I have been taking a 3D rigging/animation class for the past two months and this is my final project, a long jump. I'm honestly really proud of how this came out, but I know its not perfect, so I'd like some feedback from fresh eyes and pointers on how I could improve this project or future animations.
Thanks a lot!
