Re: [Question] How do you go about learning new software?
I would really recommend not to learn more then one program at the time for starters. secondly, and most importantly, have a soft deadline of sorts, like in 3 months I am going to put this program into my pipeline. have realistic deadlines to btw, for example my time frame for substance painter was 6 months. this gets me… -
Re: [Question] How do you go about learning new software?
I've tried different methods for learning new software. When I was getting used to Quixel Suite I watched/listened to tutorials, and practised on older props to see how it works on something I'd already called 'finished'.
