Sooner.....let's just say that I can see that (OK....I hope no one takes this the wrong way....I'm just being honest) I am fairly proficient at this (3D)....AND I "also" see what it would take for me (and what others are doing/have done) to be REALLY good at it.
I don't have the desire to dedicate that much time to it. It would be fun....and would have been fun at a different time in my life. It just wouldn't be, now. It didn't take me that long to realize that.
If I practiced every day.....I could play golf, competitively, with most everyone in my state. I have no desire to put myself through that. Kudos to those who do. That knowledge (that I "could" compete with those guys).....doesn't allow me (ME) to play the game at a half-assed level. I wish I was wired differently. I'm not.
I think that probably answers your question
