Hello Polycount Community

I am  new in 3D modeling and game development & want  to improve my skills and gain  insights into the industry; I have a background in software engineering and have recently developed a keen interest in creating 3D assets for games.

I would like your help on specific question.

 What are some efficient workflows and techniques to create high-quality game assets. there are  any specific threads or community groups on Polycount where I can share my progress and get helpful feedback from prepared artists? What are the best resources to learn 3D modeling, especially for game development?

I have also looked inti this since joining this forum https://polycount.com/discussion/202133/learning-to-model-3d-for-games-where-to-start-blue prism but was unable to find an answer for my query

I want  to learn and grow within this vibrant community. Any advice, resources and personal experiences you can share here it  would be appreciated.

Thank you for your help

Best regards
Kai

Welcome! I’d recommend choosing something small and fairly simple to start with.

Make a Topic in 3D Showcase & Critiques, and post screenshots of your progress. Post whether you receive feedback or not, the important thing is to keep going, be proactive and productive.

We have a metric ton of resources here, if you just poke around a bit.

If you're an absolute beginner and looking for software, Blender is a great choice because it's free, and has pretty much everything you really need to make 3d models. You may want to invest in stuff like Zbrush later, but that depends on what you want to make, so I guess that begs the question; what kind of 3d models do you want to make (PBR, stylized)? lol
