My first off topic, i need help. Im finding it hard to find inspiration i have started on severeal things since my last project but i have found it too hard or have lost interest and dumped them all. I would like to do a nice sci-fi scene i think, and a scene not a space ship or alien. But im stuck for inspiration and im crap at traditional art. (And 3D art). So i need inspiration. Any idea would be great.
take part (or just do it for ur self ;)) in some cgcompetition 
or read a good book, and do some scenes out of there - philip k. dick for example
I have no imagination so I generally do the weekend challenge as something to do. Sci-fi but not aliens or spaceships? Well you could do weapons, or planet type things, or space age technology, I dunno.
Can any1 sugest any good books online or any competitions im in the UK btw. Im not sure i can afford to invest in a cg book at the moment as i am starting to drive and want to save all my money from workingm part time on saving up for a nice car :D.
ok i’m a harsh Mo-fo but hey.
i think you shoudl quit using blender, or any 3d app all together, including 2d apps too.
i think you should get an imagination or find another industry.
LOL just kidding bro.
i’m just one of the kinds of guys that has too many ideas that i can’t do them all. i have about 300 new ideas a day, they are very easy to come by for me.
hence i will be a designer, and i’ll do it for the passion of ideas.

I’ve got too many ideas. Want to borrow some?
I just try to find inspiration wherever. For example, I took the idea of “Adaptation” (a writer trying to adapt, but ending up writing about himself trying to adapt instead) and bent it a little to be more CGI-suited… and haven’t done anything on it since. Yesterday I got an idea from the bombing of “Gigli” at the US box office, and adapted that to a CG artist’s point of view.
In the game section of Blender, I can’t stop coming up with ideas that are so ambitious big-budget publishers don’t try it. For example, my main idea is to come up with an infinite game where you do things, and they show up later in the game.
Ever played ocarina of time? That has the same sort of idea.
Weekend challenge has always been good for me. I have a decent amount of ideas, but i never carry through with them.

Actually, it’s more like a “changes-every-time” game, and even the beginning would change. Extremely ambitious.
What u could do is open up a book or dictionary to a random page, pick a random word and try to create it in blender.
LOL i’ve had funny days looking through dictionarys with my friends.
ha ha ha

Easy, you could use the Text tool. %|
It’s not exactly helpful if you somehow end up choosing the word “the.”
