for me, a good rule if you really want to master the skills you are trying to learn via tutorial is this ratio: for every hour of content watching...there should be 10+ hours of actual execution practicing what you learned. repetition and actually doing what they are showing until it clicks in your head leads to eventual…
A 50 hour long tutorial is going to take a long, long time, especially at beginner level. When I was a beginner, a 1 hour tutorial would take me 3 hours minimum due to always needing to pause and such. Honestly, if you are a beginner, it might be best to focus on smaller tutorials. I think the longest tutorial I've ever…
I usually do a tutorial three times. First I skim watch it. I don't pay attention to details, just big picture. Lotta times that means watching at 2x speed. Then I do the tutorial and follow along. I pause it whenever i need to do stuff. Then I do the same thing I did in the tutorial but with my own content. I just keep…
I would say you're still in the beginner stage. Really push forward. But honestly, avoid a 50 hour long tutorial unless you have all day, every day to work on it. I'd probably pick up a tutorial on Substance Painter, texturing a military gun or something, and use that knowledge to texture the models you've made. That would…
Gotcha. Just wanted to make sure you weren't making the same mistake I made during my first six months of 3D modeling where I mostly only stuck to doing tutorials because apparently I'm an idiot. I didn't learn crap from doing that, and only started learning once I took the training wheels off and threw myself into the…
@Deniell yes i think literally everybody faces that struggle on day to day basis. It's just completely normal. It's why there is so many "how to overcome procrastination" videos on youtube. I have consumed a lot of tutorials in the past two years. Usually there is going to be several tutorials covering the same thing. So…
Yeah, I heard that watching tutorial twice (and more times) is for many people useful but on the other hand I just think about that it would take more time, especially when tutorial is too long. But I think you made a point... I'll try it with some shorter tutorials. If it works I'll use it also in the longer ones. :) And…
Hi everyone! I would like to ask someone who already works for game company or someone who has some experience in 3D. I bought course about modelling a weapon which has about 50 hours. It goes from basic modelling up to rendering with UV. It has 20 videos a most of them are 2-3 hours long. The longest video was the first…
@Spag_Eddy Most of what you see on my Artstation I modeled from reference photos or from another 3D model (the car for example but I couldn't find the name of author). The only thing which is from tutorial is the high poly character. It is written in the description including the link for the tutorial. :)
I always try to learn as much as possible so i watched and read a lot of tutorials and articles. I still do it nowadays after 4 years of self teaching. For a beginner my adivse would be to follow the tutorial and at the same time actively do what it's shown in the video. So basically start watching---> the teacher makes…
