How to 3D Model Anything // Key Principles of 3D Modeling 

@Censorship Is wrong " If I want the model to match 100% which is best? 3d sculpting, modeling or 3d rendering?" The process would be the same. - Gathering references of a stormtrooper from various angles to get the idea of panel transitions, area of motion etc. - Next, plan the modeling. Tools to use, how to transition form one shape to another, where to save time etc. - If you think there are challenging parts, break them down and try them first. (Maybe that is only the helmet, hands, jetpack... ) - The modeling part itself, again is the same. If you´re not sure where to begin, search for highlights, draw them out, and see which basic shape of primitive could fit the best and get you started. 3D Modeling, rendering and sculpting are also different disciplines and fields, and will of course take time to master them all :) P.S. To succesfully model a complete stormtrooper, make sure your modeling skill is well developed and your anatomy knowledge is decent. Otherwise you might hit some bumps on the road. Hope this helps! Cheers!

Yes you are absolutely correct I started with Max and Maya and now I am using Blender once you know the basics you could easily transfer it to blender or any others software or choice only thing is you should know the basics. Thanks Jesus loves you

Agreed! I use Maya for almost everything, but have learned a ton from Arrimus, who mostly has Max and Blender tutorials. Still, it's nice to have tutorials in the program you're most familiar with.

Hey..do you mentor/teach/guide?

Hi could I have some advice please? I'm really confused about game assets for unreal. I want to create asset packs. I've been learning for a bit now and want to make simple well made props. Some people say model in quads, but even on low poly when I use quads the tri / vertice count goes up quickly. Because I want to sell assets, I don't really know if users will want to deform the shapes. Any advice would be great. Currently I am creating a low poly gun and high poly version for the bake, but my low poly is made of quads,the tri count is around 10k.

@Transistor Jump Depends entirely on the game engine and how it defines it's LOD names.

This. I worked at a videogame studio and my boss was demanding me to do whatever shit he wanted even if it meant i had to add smooth, bevels and other sutff i would do to the High Poly, and then suddenly ask me to reduce the polycount to the lowest as if it was the low poly version. In the end i made 3 models, one being a bizarre mix of both versions that neither worked as LP nor HP, and then the high poly and low poly -_-

Lod's seems obsolete with ue5)

Indeed!!

@@sashakirichek not all games studios use ue5 tho :D

There used to be a lot more. And there used to be a complete series by Autodesk on the Apple podcast app.

Lol, thanks!

Your Pp sent me all the way back to 2.7 days (if you know you know)

@@daniboiyy yeah splash screen of blender 2.78 is best

I just subscribed to your class!!

Happy to hear it helps :)

Hey Juan! You mean the general modeling tools? If so I already covered every tool we use in detail. You can check the series here on YT or on my Website.

Yeah! My Bad I have that course.

More faces require more computing resources. It's a matter of how performant your computer is.

Maya I think

Try modeling the easiest part...like his foot, then the leg. But always have a reference in the 3D modeling software so you can hit the proportions. A lot of modelers just trace shapes and than add detail.

He is using Blender and it is also free to use
