is there a grand syllabus of things self taught 3d artists should go through?
this may sound vague or 'how long is a piece of string' just wondering if there is a website somewhere which lists in all the things you should learn. rather than focusing on software preferences, Im interested in actual universal techniques we should know about. for example, I have spent the last year focusing on hard… -
Hanami
Hello, I would like some help with this character, please. So the main idea was for it to be something slightly stylized... that said, I tried to make it as realistic as possible and failed terribly.
