Digital Tutors Vs Gnomon Workshop
polycounter lvl 9
Sorry to make this post, i've been looking for other people's posts about this, but they are kind of old.
So that's my question. I already have a very decent experience with 3D, not that much with sculpting.
I'm looking for more professional tutorials. I've heard that Gnomon is more profesional, but i don't know.
I don't want to learn animation that much or game engines. More film focused than games.
So yeah, what would you say guys? DT or GW? Or well, if there's something better let me know lol
Thanks

Digital-Tutors (now recently rebranded to Pluralsight) is a way better option if you're just starting out. They have a free trial subscription which gives you 50 tutorials and 1000 lessons. Their paid subscription gives you access to everything in their library.
Gnomon's lessons are more expensive but you have instructors who worked on big ticket productions from film/games. They don't have a subscription based model like DT has that I'm aware of but Gnomon is more known for their classes not their training DVD's and if you could afford them, it would definitely help you,
I'd say grab a DT subscription and absorb as much as you can before moving on to Gnomon classes and their DVD's for more specific lessons.
but I really don't feel with youtube tutorials and google or even quite inexpensive udemy/gumroad tutorials you are really going to be gaining much these days from digital tutors but that will of course depend on the person, maybe you like their structured style.
Gnomon = Masterclass/Workshop
No one cares how you learned.
Probably actually even less than a college degree because afaik you can't use it to help you get a work visa.
but I'm guessing the digital tutor certificates are not any official papers, so they probably have no real meaning.
Personally, if i am looking for a learning resource, I would go on a project to project basis. If I am doing a big organic scene, I would search out the best trees/foliage tutorial online and buy/subscribe to that site while im working on it. much more focus and less scatterbrained approach. sitting there learning about sci-fi cable modeling when you are trying to work on a medival castle is a bit of a waste of time and money. optimize your learning and your results will skyrocket.
It's not like a normal product or media where you can find reviews, ratings, professional reviewers with their own opinions. You just have to hope you are getting what you wanted.
muzz was trying to incorporate into this thread
I'll go for Gnomon beacause I already know veey well. I mean, i'm quite good on 3D, but I'm looking to master my 3D skills, so i think is the best option, thanks again!
