makes me wish i actually had talents...
how difficult is 3d modelling and animation?
always thought it was a cool thing but never attempted,
also my drawing skill is little more than stick figures
the difficulty is moderate, it depends way more on how much motivation you bring to it, since it´s not a thing you learn in some months. Get yourself Blender (since it´s free) and try it out. You can also play around a bit with Sculptris (the free, very light preversion of ZBrush) to get a bit of a feel for Mudbox-Modeling. I personally work a lot with Autodesk Maya and ZBrush, but in the end its up to you what program you use
Don´t get frustrated by the programs at first, you´ll have to carry yourself through some tutorials at the beginning but it gets better
