Quote - The stone wall for me is the modeling software. I've tried several of them and just cannot wrap what's left of my mind around them. I can (and do) create things from primitives using magnets and  the poser morphing tool. I'm perfectly able to texture.

I agree that for me, the issue is time. When I'm in the middle of a project I have neither the time nor the inclination to stop for several days while I whip up a bit of content, especially when a few dollars and 3 or 4 mouseclicks will solve the problem much quicker.

The downside is, when I DO need something sophisticated, I can't make it. I've paid several hundred dollars to some of the modellers here to do custom work for me that I couldn't do myself. You know what? FINE. They do what they enhjoy doing... I do what I enjoy doing.

It works for me.

I kinda get the time thing, I realise that people don't always have the time to stop to make something.  It is a tricky one for sure.

The choice of modeller is also a big question, what feels natural to some may feel alien to others.  As a bit of a trainer on the side it kinda makes life hard because there isn't a person out there that knows every single modelling app inside and out.  I can only train in what I know and make suggestions about what to look for in other packages.

As to the time it takes to make something, well I am sure you know that it depends on what you are making.  I'm not sure how long people would be prepared to spend in making something, before it was considered too long.
