If you're just starting out, I'd say 100% go off someone else's design. If you're still learning how to make 3D, also creating your own design is just going to slow you down. Also, you will learn a lot from making other people's designs 3D. I've had hiring personnel tell me it was a good thing I was transferring other…
On a side note, there is a "hidden" tool few know about that pretty much lets you draw out geometry along splines, much like you would with zspheres. It works great with both sculpting and mesh fusion. It is hidden behind the Tube Primitive button on the basic tab. Hold down mouse and then select the "Solid Sketch" tool.…
Blender don't have build-in good tool for Retopology but a lot of add-ons are available to help you. One of them : http://www.blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?355154-Addon-Retopo-MT Be sure to export a "Midpoly" version of your Highpoly to get good perf inside the Blender's viewport. Topogun it's not a "magic"…

Hello, been a bit since the last post. The days are turning into: day 1 = learning/research, day 2 = execution. I like to post with progress. @BeardyDan Thanks for the suggestions. I went ahead and added more edges on the door, added a indentation for the handle, and made my own cube map. I will definitely look into the…
Thanks for your responses. It really gave me some valuable input. It's interesting that most of you favored designs that I wasn't satisfied with. But it shows how different things can be judged. So your responses made it even harder for me to decide what to go for. As most were not in favor of the one I was about to pick.…
Ah cool. There is the expected ! 3D was always a field of rapid evolution. And text to image or text to model does not make traditional art and your 3d skills obsolete. It's just yet another tool in the tool belt. And a great one. As with AI image geneartion, i do not fear of the future of traditional artists. There is…
If you guys are going to debate CLOTHING or ARMOR and ignore aesthetics then you're ignoring one of the major practical functions of armor: aesthetics. Really, this whole thread is EXCESSIVELY deconstructionist. Breaking things down is fine, but trying to view any piece of concept art in absence of any aesthetic…
Thought about which section I should post this, and I think the technical section is good. Wrote this a few years ago, thinking about how I learned Photoshop. Here is the original journal entry on Deviantart. http://splicer.deviantart.com/journal/9-TIPS-FOR-LEARNING-NEW-SOFTWARE-365456332 Hope this helps some of you going…
