Not only does it teach you modeling, but it also teaches you how to maintain proper topology, which is very important for any 3D model. When I first wanted to model cars, I had no idea what all that jargon was until I looked up topology and…
Bear in mind, I don't specialize in 3D characters, but I'll do my best to help. Before you begin, it would make your life a lot easier if you google "low poly dog" and look at the images. By doing this, it can help give you a foundation or guide you into the right direction of how to make a 3D dog.…
