Learning modeling is actually not difficult. It is also possible for a novice without basic knowledge to learn modeling. Anyone who wants to learn modeling has no problem. Especially in the era of rapid development of the game industry, there are many ordinary game modelers, but there is a shortage of excellent game modeling masters. So how to go from game modeling novice to modeling master?

1. Identify yourself

Decide whether you want to learn modeling just because of personal hobbies or do you want to do modeling work as soon as possible. If you just want to cultivate your own hobbies, you can learn slowly through self-study. Although you don’t need to have any great employment pressure, since you want to learn, you have to spend a certain amount of time. You have to operate and practice every day, and set a study for yourself. Plan; if it is for future employment, to be able to reach the working level as soon as possible, which requires the maximum learning effect in the shortest time, self-study time cost is too large and easy to detour, in this case, it is best to find a professional to do 3D game modeling training It has a perfect teaching system, and has a professional modeling teacher to study under the guidance of their experience and skills. When encountering problems, teachers will answer them. The speed is much faster than self-learning, and there will be fewer detours.

2. Understand the game modeling industry

At present, there is a large talent gap in the 3D industry, and there are relatively many middle- and low-end talents, but there is a shortage of modeling masters. There is still a good development prospect for those who want to learn modeling. If you want to know more detailed information, go to various platform websites, public accounts, forums or add groups to learn more, watch more and listen more. If you want to enter the industry, you must understand the current situation and rules of the industry, and understand the unspoken rules of the industry, which is very important for follow-up study.

3. Selection of software

There are three main modeling softwares: 3dmax, maya, and zbrush. Many Xiaobai learn to model from 3d max, which is more friendly to novices and more suitable for Xiaobai to learn. You can start from small characters or small scenes, and the field is more inclined to the game and construction industry. Maya itself is relatively complex, and it has relatively high requirements for related knowledge. You must learn the knowledge of related CG graphics in order to better operate this software. It is more suitable for basic modelers, and the field is more inclined to animation and film and television. Let's look at zbrush, which is the birth software of high-model, which belongs to the god-like software in modeling, and can also make characters, which is relatively difficult. Choosing the right software for you is very important to your modeling journey. No matter which one you choose, you must operate and practice a lot.

4. Determine how you learn

(1) Learn the basic professional knowledge of the major, but when you are studying, you can’t learn a lot at one time. No matter what it is, you need to learn slowly and digest it slowly, accept knowledge in a regular and planned way, and suddenly instill a bunch of your own brains that can’t be accepted. Come, it is a waste of time and energy;

(2) Be diligent and practice a lot. Whether it is a student or an employed person, if you want to learn modeling well, you need to spend at least 2h+ time to operate the software every day, in order to have good results, and you can find your own problems with more hands-on ;

(3) After discovering a problem, you must constantly look for answers, break through difficulties, sum up experience in the problem, overcome deficiencies, think deficiencies, and solve them. At this time, you will find your own knowledge shortage, and then supplement the deficiencies from (1) Continue to continue the cycle of upward learning.

All the jumps from Xiaobai to the Great God cannot be accomplished overnight. You need to work hard day and night, accumulate various experiences and works, have your own creative style and operating skills, and work hard. Now you are Xiaobai, but one day in the future you will be the modeling god.
