Is there a way to easily make 3d models and textures for people with no prior experience?

$begingroup$


I want to make a game, but I need assets. I am wondering if I should make them by myself even though I never made any textures or 3d models before. Are there technologies that allow you to easily make them? What would you recommend me to do?

          I'm definitely not a specialist in any aspect of the visual part of game development but I figured if all I did was copy others' assets then I would never learn to model or animate so I took up blender. If I were you that's what I would do. Download blender and take it from there, it's free and it'll teach you the basics of 3D modelling and animation.

            If you make models using Blender then they're legally your assets I believe so as long as your game engine allows you you can sell it.

          You can most definitely do this, there are so many great tutorials and books for about every kind of modeling software out there. YouTube, Blender LinkedIn Learning, Pluralsight ect…



          I and many others are always browsing and for and buying unique art and models to use in creations. you can then create a sight and or find all the good sites that you can place your content on and they will keep it up and selling for a small cut of profits. Just to name a couple Turbo Squid, and GameDevMarket pretty good options they have pretty wide global advertising ect. people are always browsing for unique stuff whether free or paid. Same with the Unity asset store or unreal engine marketplace those are also great spots to put art and models for creators to buy.



          as far as different software options. that will be personal preference but I enjoy working with blender, probuilder in unity, gimp, cinema 4d is pretty great also. But id also get the trials and tutotorials to get some experience with some mainstream stuff like Maya, mudbox ect..



          Dive in and make some good stuff and you will live the dream ;)

          You can most definitely do this, there are so many great tutorials and books for about every kind of modeling software out there. YouTube, Blender LinkedIn Learning, Pluralsight ect…



          I and many others are always browsing and for and buying unique art and models to use in creations. you can then create a sight and or find all the good sites that you can place your content on and they will keep it up and selling for a small cut of profits. Just to name a couple Turbo Squid, and GameDevMarket pretty good options they have pretty wide global advertising ect. people are always browsing for unique stuff whether free or paid. Same with the Unity asset store or unreal engine marketplace those are also great spots to put art and models for creators to buy.



          as far as different software options. that will be personal preference but I enjoy working with blender, probuilder in unity, gimp, cinema 4d is pretty great also. But id also get the trials and tutotorials to get some experience with some mainstream stuff like Maya, mudbox ect..

Just to name a couple Turbo Squid, and GameDevMarket pretty good options they have pretty wide global advertising ect. people are always browsing for unique stuff whether free or paid. Same with the Unity asset store or unreal engine marketplace those are also great spots to put art and models for creators to buy.



          as far as different software options. that will be personal preference but I enjoy working with blender, probuilder in unity, gimp, cinema 4d is pretty great also. But id also get the trials and tutotorials to get some experience with some mainstream stuff like Maya, mudbox ect..



          Dive in and make some good stuff and you will live the dream ;)

            I am wondering if I really can since my drawing skills are kinda limited. Also, I have no idea how I can create textures for complex 3d models.

          You can most definitely do this, there are so many great tutorials and books for about every kind of modeling software out there. YouTube, Blender LinkedIn Learning, Pluralsight ect…



          I and many others are always browsing and for and buying unique art and models to use in creations. you can then create a sight and or find all the good sites that you can place your content on and they will keep it up and selling for a small cut of profits.

          Berlina muro

          Image
          La berlina muro ĉe Bethaniendamm, 1986 La berlina muro aŭ simple la muro [1] , nomita ankaŭ "kontraŭfaŝisma remparo" en propaganda lingvo de la iama Germana Demokratia Respubliko, estis parto de la interngermana limo, kiu dividis de la 13-a de aŭgusto 1961 ĝis la 9-a de novembro 1989 okcidentan Berlinon de la orienta parto de la urbo kaj de la ĉirkaŭa tereno de la GDR.

La preciza nombro de viktimoj estas pridisputita kaj ne certa; la nombroj anoncataj varias inter 86 kaj 238 mortintoj. La malplifortiĝo de Sovetunio kaj la politiko de liberigo gvidita de Miĥail Gorbaĉov ebligis al la orientgermanoj faligi la 9-an de novembro 1989 l...
