Of course, this model isn't an example of neatness or how figurines should be made. But it clearly shows that a person doesn't need to spend dozens of hours creating a base model, especially if they have the skills.

Seriously, this isn't even funny anymore. Don't you see that you're actively proving what I'm saying, rather than disproving it?

No offense, but you spent 40 minutes sculpting a crooked mess. It will take you another 6-8 times that amount of time just to finish the sculpture. Then, Google what retopology is and how long it takes (because you obviously weren't paying attention when I explained it). Then, add roughly the same amount of time for texturing as you spent on these stages. In the end, it will take a couple of days to create a simple character model. That's normal. And I don't understand your shock. If every newbie who just discovered Blender could create a game-ready character model in 3 hours, do you think anyone would pay for this job?

Anyway, I won't argue anymore. You can believe whatever you want. You can continue to think that sculpting a nonsensical mess in Blender in 40 minutes, which still needs a lot of work, is the same as creating a decent model in 3 hours. Honestly, it's ridiculous to even talk about it. Don't you trust me? If you need proof and real numbers, consult Google or check out a graphics forum, like our render.ru.

Once again, trying to do something and learn is great. If you're trying to encourage people to learn 3D, that's great. But saying "it's a piece of cake, guys" is simply not true. Creating good models independently is quite possible and, in theory, beneficial for you. But be prepared for it to take more than 3 hours and require effort. Good luck to everyone in their endeavors.

For example, here's a model I made a while ago.
It's very bad and rough; if it doesn't seem that way to you, it just means you don't have a trained eye.

But even this model took me about 10 hours in total. Yes, it was a long time ago, and I was just getting acquainted with Blender and learning anatomy, but it still took 10 hours. Now, I could probably do it in half the time. A professional might be able to create such a model in an hour or two. But it's still a rough draft that needs a lot more work. Do you understand?
