Imho, things are simpler it's just there are _more_ things. Every 3D
"sector" got specialized.
I think being generalist is quite a chalenge, much more than 20 years
ago. Look at how modeling has "pushed" with Zbrush, Texturing with mary.
Before I was pressing buttons, now since Ice I know what a vector is,
and I think I'm better since I know the math under the hood.
Frankly, if you start to draw you're gonna throw a few papers to the
trashcan, an if you're starting to sculpt you'll break some molds.
Read Jordi Bare, I believe he's expanded his creative power since he
broke into Houdini.
Learning makes you learn more until you get old and die... no ?

I think the original author does have a point but I dont think he
expressed it the way he wanted to. I can feel his frustration. If you
think of where we are and its been 20 years or so, shouldn't things
be simpler?
Zbrush is a good example , immensely powerful program but such an
uphill battle to get used to the interface to do anything useful.
HeadUs and their unwrap interface is another one. yes you can get
beautiful results with it, but in the time it takes you figure crap
out, you could have done just as good a job sticking to massaging a
standard unwrap
The idea is that your software should enable you from the beginning no
matter your expertise with it. Yes you will get highly skilled with it
if you stick to using it , but you shouldn't have to put your fist
through a few monitors to get there.
Its one of the things I will miss a lot about teaching Softimage. It
enabled both he novice and the professional to do amazing things out
the box.

Frankly, the guy who is way too smart or to arty for those complex
3d software, should just buy a pen...
Remember me some Texas Lightwave/NT communication from back in the
day.
