3D Learning Resources

missmoocodes:

updated: Jun/25*

This is not coding related, I know, but gamedev-learning related enough to be here! :) I’ve been asked about learning resources for 3D modeling and tried to make a list of tutorials I could remember - I’m highlighting the ones I’ve tried myself but I’ve heard good things about all of these. This list is low poly focused but the knowledge can be applied for anything else. 

I haven’t been doing this for long - I started learning 3D a year ago and have been ever since but as a 2D artist the technical side of it still overwhelms me a lot. I’ve gone nowhere near animation yet but I’ve been adventuring with low poly quite a lot (which you can check out in #OceanHeart (image above) and #GemuNoGemu, - I also put up assets pics in a Trello here as well as stuff on my website). I mainly use Maya (now Maya LT) but I’ve been trying to tackle Blender too. Here are some helpful goodies I’ve found:

Maya:

  • I started learning Maya with this series of videos on youtube by Misterh3d. I watched through units 1-7 and it’s a pretty great introduction! Nicely paced, covers a bunch you gotta know.
  • A series on Low poly for game assets using Maya 2015

Blender:

  • Blender 3D - Noob to Pro: for the basics! :)
  • And another Blender course for beginners
  • The super popular Secrets to Creating Low Poly Illustrations On Blender - great intro to making some low poly goodness :)
  • Blender Cookie - CGCookie is a website that has a bunch of awesome tutorials (loads for free) on many softwares, including Unity. Take a look at this Low Poly Game Asset Creation tutorial.
  • Some character creation tutorials by ward7299
  • Bunch of really cool low poly tutorials here by Manuel Graphics!
  • A Minecraft character modeling and texturing tutorial

All things 3D/low poly:

  • Creating a low poly treasure island
  • PigArt: rad speedart/timelapses of adorable looking low poly art, lots to learn from watching these :)
  • Digital Tutors has loads of 3D modeling tutorials, some free some paid. Tried a few of those and they’re pretty cool!


Cool Misc stuff:

  • Blender Cycles rendering introduction
  • Creating flat colored low poly art. This is how I currently color all assets for Gemu (I used to color using materials or vertex colors before because I can’t stand UV unwrapping but this is a pretty easy alternative) 
  • Please do check the Polycount forum, so many cool references and useful info! Also do check their low poly thread :)
  • There’s also reddit’s /low_poly


Study Files:

  • Cocefi kindly uploaded a low poly model for download here :)
  • You can download models on Sketchfab! Here are some popular low poly ones
  • Lots of cool Cinema 4D project files for download here


Missmoo 3D:*

  • Streaming: I often stream some of my modeling on Oceanheart and I’m always happy to share what I know :)
  • My Sketchfab: I’ll be uploading some models for download shortly here
  • This is how I texture my models for Oceanheart - I’m always sharing wip and processes in our devblog


Rad people making awesome 3D stuff:*

  • @PIXELATEDCROWN
  • @turnislefthome
  • @chickysprout
  • @metkis
  • @korigame
  • @GarretRandell
  • @IMPLODINGORACLE
  • @ultrakurtzwelle
  • @khalkeus3d
  • @AckkStudios
  • @q_dork
  • @andmish
  • @heatpenn
  • @dicey
  • @torahhorse
  • @mushbuh

This is it for now! :) I know it’s short but I hope I can keep it growing - I’ll add more stuff to it as I find other tuts (let me know if you have any suggestions!).

i love rey’s flowers and her doll and her helmet and her little sand sled and i love it when she licks her plate after eating her little meal of insta-bread and i love it when she puts the helmet on just for kicks and i love the way she sleds down the sand dune and i love the goggles she made out of a stormtrooper helmet and i love rey living in the iron carcass of an AT-AT and i love rey scrubbing her salvaged metal parts and glancing at the old, weathered woman across from her, wary of her own future, her hope wavering and then growing stronger still. i love her wistful, bouncy little leitmotif. i love rey

i just realized
  • how we thought it is: pearl is just meant to be a techie, all the ballet and the frivolities and fanciness is stuff she's picked up on her own
  • how it is: pearl is just meant to be frivolous and fancy, the techie stuff she's picked up on her own

badconlangingideas:

A language where there is no word for “they” or “them”. Instead, it is represented by saying a sentence with one pronoun, followed by the other. Have a grammar, such that in order to say, for example, “you do it for them”, you would say, “you do it for her, that is to say, you do it for him.”
