My name is James Summers. I started my 3D journey at Full Sail University (2010-2011). During my time at Full Sail, I had the opportunity to learn different disciplines of 3D, such as, modeling, rigging, lighting, texturing and animation. I really wanted to learn more about animation, so I made the decision to join Animschool ( 2013-2014). During my time at Animschool, I gained a deeper understanding of animation, rigging and was introduced to game animation. After AnimSchool, I spent a year working on my first demo reel (2015-2016).
Hello everyone. My
name is Miguel and I am new to 3D in general. I only have about a month
of experience. I will give a TLDR at the beginning if you wish to skip
my story. I want to learn about creating 3D characters. My current plan
is to get familiar with the programs Maya, Topogun, Zbrush, Substance
Painter, and Marmoset. I have a basic idea of how they function but
still have a long way to go. At the moment I am thinking about taking
the 3D character course from the 3D CGAcademy
https://3d.cgmasteracademy.com/programs/character-arts-program-updated/
Does
this seem like a good place to begin my character creation journey?
Please give advice on the best places to learn about this. I want to
maximize time/gain. I have purchased courses on udemy in the past that
taught bad practices so I figured this time it would be better to ask
from more experienced people. I am willing to invest money for
education. Thank you for your time.
Ok so here is the extra info. I have been interested in 3d work for many years now. However I ended up going to college to pursue a different career. Now that I am stable with a job and life I find my interest returning. Due to time constraints I have decided to limit my scope to characters. I am just fascinated by designing and looking at good topology. I am an overwatch fan and have spent hours just staring at the models and different skins. I want to be able to create things like this some day. Below is an image of my first project. I did this before deciding to limit my scope to characters
Hi all. I am new here. i have a graphic design background, i use corel x16 and photoshop and other programs. My son and i would like to start building / making a small video game. But we don't know what programs are available or what to start with. I have heard of Blender and C++, but don't know what's a good program for beginners. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks For Your Time.
I'm Aaro and a relatively long time lurker here at polycount. Maybe some day in a near future I'll post something even more than just an introduction post. I am interested in all things 2d & 3d (and beyond) but right now my main interest is material creation using Substance Designer.
Hi I'm Adam. I'm an Australian 2d artist, been lurking here on and off for years and want to start posting. one of my goals this year(not much of it left) is to become a cyberpunk noman rockwell and get to grips with a workflow for making my own reference in 3d.

Hi there, welcome aboard:
In answer too your question, I'd recommend starting with Gamemaker which is pretty much geared towards those seeking a soft entry into gamesdev. So really no need learning how too code or learn DCC (Digital Content Creation) workflows for now, cos everything is bundled in this one app. Also comes wiith it's own visual logic system (GML) just the first step creating fun interactive experiences. Anyway have a look, see what you think, perhaps even download the free trial if you like and test it for yourself.
I want to become a part of the great Polycount community! Finally! I've been working in the game development industry as a 3D Artist for seven years. Specialize in modeling real-time characters. In my spare time I develop my own game on Unity and improve my skills in digital sculpting, substance painter texturing, C# scripting and so on. Nice to meet you all!

Hey all, I've been a professional game developer for around 17 years. I've held the positions of Lead Artist, Tech Artist, and CG Supervisor. I've been writing and posting free Maya scripts ever since I started my career. I've authored a number of popular scripts that have been used by the 3d community for almost 2 decades. You might have used some of my creations over the years, such as: DUPExtract, UVMaster, or AttachMaster. I'm finally in a position where I can make the entire body of my tool kit available to the 3d community. You can check them out at: http://www.thomashamiltonart.com/TTools.html
I hope these tools improve your 3d experience as much as they have for me.
We are an indie game developer team in Turkey. We want to get criticism for our new game. Our new game genre is a tower defense. Despite our Mid-Level production ability, we still want to get criticism about this game.
We are very pleased if you can help us in this forum.
