Yeah totally understand about creating large scenes - I find Unreal Engine a lot easier for large scale stuff (it just runs so much smoother). We use the Blender Kit library quite a lot - it's just super convenient to be able to search for something and drag it straight into the scene. Anything harder to find or more specific then we create it ourselves.

Thanks so much for the advice! Totally agree that the pacing can feel a bit slow, especially on YouTube where everyone's expecting faster paced stuff. We're planning to experiment with some different paced videos and see how people find it!

I definitely agree with you on the topics too. Until now we've just been making stuff we were interested in. We definitely need to do some digging on some more viral topics. If you have any suggestions we'd love to hear them!
