五大因素：妨碍了你,完成创意项目.doc

5 Things Keeping You From Finishing Your Creative Project五大因素：妨碍了你，完成创意项目 As an artist, youre inspired by so many things that you experience, whether it be the newest movie, comic book, video game or museum exhibit, you love to create around the things that get you excited. But many people tend to forget or just plain quit a creative project just days after theyve started. Why? You were so excited before, why not now? Lets take a look at five things that may be holding you back from bringing your awesome ideas to life. 作为一名艺术家，你受到你所经历的众多事物的启发，不论是最新的电影、漫画、电动游戏，或者是博物馆的展览，你热衷于在这些让你兴奋的事物中展开创作。但是，仅仅在艺术家开始的短短几天后，许多人常常忘记，或者索性放弃一项创意计划。为什么呢？之前如此的兴奋，现在为什么不了呢？让我们来看下，可能阻止你实现奇思妙想的五大因素吧。Impatience急躁 Impatience is the bane of creating something amazing. Many times you can start a project and you just want to see something cool pop up on the screen, but it just doesnt work that way. You dont do it intentionally; you just want to feel the same satisfaction that you got from the inspirational source you just experienced. Its just that you want it a little too quickly and its just not feasible.Great art always starts out rough, whether that is a silhouette concept piece or quick sketch of a level. So the next time you start a new project, make sure you understand that your project may be a journey and not quick sprint. 急躁是惊人创作的毒药。许多时候你开始一项计划，你只希望看到绝妙的作品跃于屏幕，但事情并不是这样的。你不愿意有计划性地去从事创作，而只是想得到一种满足感，这种满足感，源于你所经历了事带给你的灵感。但你这样做就太心急了，是行不通的。俗话说，“精湛的艺术作品往往始于粗糙。”不论它是一幅概念性的轮廓，还是简单的随手画。所以下一次，当你开始一项新的项目时，要明白你的项目是一段旅程，而不是快速的百米冲刺。Time Management时间管理 Boo! Time management! Whether you like it or not, time management is key to finishing your projects. (Especially, if youre a professional) When starting a new project, you tend to work way too long or not long enough. Sitting at your desk for extended periods of time without a periodic break can be detrimental to your productivity. Over time, the more time you spend with a project, the more you want to get away from it. So why not oblige this natural urge for separation by taking a much needed break. 嘭！没错，就是时间管理！不管你喜欢与否，时间管理都是你完成计划的关键。（尤其如果你是专业人士）当刚开始一次新的项目时，你要么会工作时间过长，要么就工作时间不足。无间歇地久坐在办公桌前，可能对你的工作效率产生不利的影响。久而久之，你在一个计划上花的时间越长，你就越想远离它。因此，何不进行极其必要的休息，只是在时间上的死扛，是不会有好效果的。 Dont forget to come back though! On the other side to that, not spending enough time on a project will most certainly keep you from finishing. Youve got to work on the project to get it done, because projects dont finish themselves. A good balance that you could try on your next project is to work for one hour, then take a fifteen minute break. Do this as long as you want to work in a single day. So, in an eight hour day you will have taken two hours worth of breaks. 当然，不要忘记回归到工作中。过度工作的另个极端是，不要投入过少的时间在单独的项目上面，这样必然会使你无法完成工作。你必须持续工作，确保项目完成，因为项目是不会自己完成的。你可以在下一个项目中，试下这样的方式来平衡时间：工作一小时，然后休息15分钟。在一天中，按照这种方式，你想工作多久就工作多久。这样，在一个8小时的工作日中，你将会有2个小时的休息时间。 That may seem like a lot, but youll find that you do this anyway between going to the restroom, getting a snack, getting a drink and eating lunch. Of course, you should modify how long you work based on your own energy level, but this is a great place to start.

For one person to try and recreate a single city block of Chicago can be a very large task. With a project like that, you have to model the buildings, sidewalks, signs, posts, cars, bikes, parking meters, etc. This doesnt even include laying out UVs, texturing, lighting, rendering and post work. When going into your next project, produce a realistic list of what needs to be done to achieve the goals of your project. 工作范畴关乎你项目的实际规模和难度。譬如，让一个人尝试去再现芝加哥的一个城市街区，将会是工作量超大的任务。要实施这样如此硕大的计划，你必须涉及到建筑物、人行道、指示牌、邮箱、汽车、自行车、计时停车场等等。即使设计了这么多，你还没有把诸如防紫外线设施、街道建设、避雷装置、路灯和邮政差事包括之中。当开始你下个项目时，将所需要完成的事项制作成一张实际的清单，这样做能帮助你完成项目目标。 Some of it you may not know exactly, but you should still try and get some sort of idea. Too many times, you can jump into a project without understanding the complete depth of your expectations. Everybody does it, but those who finish projects know how to manage that scope and understand approximately how long each project should actually take. 有一些事项，你可能无法准确获悉，但是你仍然应该尝试去理清思路。太多时候，你在不曾了解你工作预期的具体深度的情况下，就投入到了一个项目中去。每个人都是这样做的，但是真正能完成项目的那些人，知道怎么去掌控工作范畴，并且大概清楚每项计划，它实际上会花费多长时间。Distractions干扰 SQUIRREL! Its so easy to become distracted while researching a specific technique or tool for your projects. Sometimes you can get caught up in techniques that have nothing to do with what youre working on and before you know it, you just wasted twenty minutes. Twenty minutes may not seem like much, but how many rabbit trails do you chase in a day? 不能像松鼠那样，做事精神不集中！在为你的计划搜寻某个特定的技术或者工具时，太容易被干扰了。有时你会陷入一些和你所做的事情毫不相关的技术中去，不知不觉中，你就浪费了20分钟。20分钟可能看似不是那么长。但是，你一天工作时间，有几个20分钟能如此耽搁啊。 That can begin to add up really fast and half of our work day is completely wasted. So how do you get rid of distractions? It depends on what your distraction is. If its the TV, move the location of your work area or simply turn it off. The internet is usually the biggest because its the most accessible. If this is a distraction for you, you could set a timer for how long you spend on the internet. Set it for five minutes and youll find that you can get what you need and get back to your project very quickly, but you have to be willing to adhere to your time limits. 这样的分神时间，可能会迅速累积，我们工作日的一半时间就这样浪费了。因此，你要怎样排除分神呢？这取决于干扰的因素是什么。如果干扰因素是电视，换一个工作区域或者干脆关掉电视。因为网络随处可得，它往往是最大的干扰因素。如果网络对你来说是一个干扰的话，你应该为你使用网络设定一个时间。假设设置为5分钟，你会发现你能迅速地找到你所需要的事情，并且回归到你的项目中去。但是你必须得愿意遵守你所设置的时间限制。Fear of Failure惧怕失败 Fear of failure is a real thing and it can be a show stopper. This happens quite a bit in art contests, especially when artists begin to see the quality of work by other artists. This is the point that you can make one of two choices; you can become fearful of not having the best artwork out there and quit or you can be empowered by the work of others and strive to become a better artist. 惧怕失败是非常真实的存在，它可能成为成功的障碍。这在艺术大赛里常有发生，尤其是在艺术家们开始看到别的艺术家展出作品的时候。这时你可以在两个选择中任选其一：你可以因为不能拿出最佳的艺术作品，变得畏畏缩缩并且放弃比赛。或者你可以因别人作品的刺激而主动出击，努力成为一名更好的艺术家。 Youll find that most art communities want to help you by giving you constructive feedback and point you to resources to help develop a new technique. Art is about stepping out into the unknown every single day. Youll learn something new and your artistic ability will grow right before you. So are you going to cower at the possibility of failure or are you going to be empo
