About inspirations and how to decide what to model.

Inspiration can come many ways. Somethimes it's something you see in stores or in a magazine that inspires you, somethimes it's something you designed from scratch, sometimes you feel like following a popular trend. I particularly like seeing what people in the forums are asking for, and then picking an item that trips my trigger.

My moods change, so does what inspires me.  Being that this is a hobby, I allow myself this luxury. I don't want to turn it into work, where I'm obligated to stick with a project on a deadline. I already have a full time job like that. Artsy side of 3D is an outlet for feelings and ideas that don't get attended to at my regular work.

Very often there are several things at once that I can ge inspired with. Which one to actually model depends on who much free time I have in the near future. Another consideration is difficulty level. I like to tackle things that will make me learn new tricks. Again, provided I have time.

*Tips:
-Keep a notebook for ideas and inspirations, and keep it handy. Get yourself a favorite pen. Jot down ideas, clip things out of magazines and glue them in the notebook, print things out, write down snippets and quatations that trigger your interest. Play with it.

-When you're having a bah-humbug creative block, don't worry yourself. It shall pass. When in that mood, you can a little time to thumb through the notebook. Sometimes it happens to be one of the old ideas that renews the enthusiasam.*
