Any online courses you recommend?
polycounter lvl 2
Hi there! ^^
I have been working with 3D for about a year now, pretty much self taught and with much luck got the possibility to start working in a mobile AR-game project. I am going to take a online course in 3D on my spare time to develop my skills further and wonder if you guys have any recommendations? It doesn't have to be free.
I think an intermediate level would be fine, not beginner. And personally I am interested in doing environment and props, but in the project I am currently working on I am the only 3D artist and the skills that I have seen that I need to develop is texturing, creating characters, low poly and maybe animations, for example face animations on low poly characters. I could also learn something about the workflow as a 3D designer.
Thank you very much for your help! Cheers!

For a self paced course structure tailored too your needs, I'd recommend searching a number of sources that are in the main paid but nonetheless typically deliver quality pro authored instruction material i.e. Digital Tutors, Gumroad, Udemy, 3dmotive or Gnomon Workshop.

If you're looking for a "masterclass" kind of deal on prop modeling and texturing using today's standard software and workflows there's a couple solid options I can point you to:
Tim Bergholz has a great set of tutorials for Max users (though if youre strong with Maya you can adapt it) - https://chamferzone.com/tutorials/
Simon Fuchs' Military Radio Tutorial is excellent and is Maya centric. https://gumroad.com/simonfuchs
Sorry i cant help you in those other areas, not really my thing!
edit: 80.lv is your friend!
But I agree with you, there are some hidden gems there.
I actually use Blender atm, but I am thinking about learning max or Maya since that seems to be mainly used in the industry. what do you guys think? is it doable to learn max or Maya through any of these tutorials with my knowledge in blender? or are any of the mentioned tutorials kind of adaptable to blender?
You're welcome though, good luck with your new job
