Hi, I really love your art and it's been so cool seeing you do 3D modeling!! Do you have any tips or tutorials that were helpful for you when you were first learning? I've been wanting to get into it too but it feels so overwhelming!
Aawww 🥺 I’m glad to know you like what I do 💜✨ and thank you!
Mmm and as for tips I can give you 🤔… well, the main one would be, what do you want to focus in 3D?
Because there’s a lot of variety and different sectors… for example, doing 3D for rigging and animation, 3D for printing and sculpting (which is what I’m doing jeje), etc… ‘cause even though everything is related, it’s not the same to model something that will then be rigged as it is to just have it static, you know? Jaja…
Then you can focus on learning the basics, like the parts of 3D shapes, what the tools do, and even the shortcuts on the keyboard… believe me, knowing that will make it muuuuch easier to progress... (don't even look at how to texturize, lightning or anything like that for now! because seeing the more complex steps always discourages people who are just starting out or want to learn)
That can also help you select a program ✨… personally, I would recommend Blender 👌🏼 since it’s free and has basic tools for modeling and sculpting… and there it’s easier to familiarize yourself with the concepts, tools and who the shapes work ✏️… oooor if you just want to, I don't know, make your own characters just for fun, if you have a tablet or iPad, you can try Nomad Sculpt, which is what I use to make models for printing ☺️... although you do have to buy it.
I personally learned the basics in school xD… it was part of my degree, but I know there are very good videos on YouTube that would be very helpful :D… or there are animators and professionals who give advice and tutorials in live streams, that also helps a lot 🔥… or if you want to go into the more professional field, there's always the option of taking a course/classes… I've seen that there's a wide variety of options.
(There's a guy on YouTube called Blender Guru who has some of the most comprehensive tutorials)
And really, don’t be intimidated {:>… this goes for everyone, and not just 3D but art in general… my personal advice, as someone who’s always been more self-taught, is not to be afraid to try out the tools… always start at your own pace, test what works and what doesn't for you, what does this tool do? And so on…
Or how I learned almost everything 😂
