Well, I use houdini, that's my solution =)
In hou it's really fun and flexible, and most of the repetitive stuff can be automated away. There's almost always a new cool challenge to solve, a creative improvement to be made.
Having said that, there's hardly a part of CG art that doesn't get tedious at times. Modeling, UVs, texturing, animation, rendering... It all has it's repetitive boring moments.
Look at it like at knitting, or putting together a giant puzzle, or playing minecraft. There are moments where you gotta think and be creative, and then there are moments where you can just enjoy the meditative, comforting, familiar process. It can be fun in it's own way.
Also, if things get really boring, you can always listen to music, audiobooks, or your favorite sitcom in the background =)
- MrLeap 9y agoI may give houdini a try. I've only ever tried rigging in blender and zbrush. Blender is my package of choice for hard surface modelling, but the rigging workflow is just.. onerous. Zspheres are way easier, but I don't like the hard surface topology most of the time. Zspheres are also missing a lot of the advanced rigging features blender has. Usability has its tradeoffs I guess. Thanks for the chat Rayalez! :)
