Agree, sometimes nececity is the mother of invention.
I wanted a Jill Valantine outfit, wasn't one around at the time so I had a go. Took a little time to get the bodice right, but I learnt a lot from it, mistakes and all.
The problem with modelling is that people try to do something way to advanced to start with.
Start small, take small steps and you want to learn more s you becomemore interested.
Try to make a whole city for your first product and your going to be disapointed and possibly give up.
The main thing is to look at things in a different way. It may look like a complicted itemoutfitbuilding, but think of it as little shapes. Squares, shperes, lines etc. and all of a sudden the fog lifts and you start thinking, I can do that!!!!
A little trick for people to try the next time they are out and about. Look at things and break them down into small sections.
A wharehouse wall, just an oblong with square bits for windows etc.
A manhole cover, just a squashed down cylinder.
As you cna see, these complicated things are nothing more than shapes.
Try it and see what you think.
All the best.
