The game industry has developed rapidly recently. E-sports has also gradually gained public recognition, and game modeling has naturally become a hot topic of employment. Many friends who want to learn 3D game modeling will come to ask me some questions. Here I summarize some of the most concerned questions and doubts. , I hope it will help you a little bit if you want to learn game modeling.

1. Can I teach myself 3D modeling with zero basics?

Yes, but it is difficult and not recommended. Because if you have strong self-control, you can still learn something through hard work, but if you have less self-control, and you have signed up for online courses, you cannot study strictly according to the course progress, which may be a waste of money and time. And if there is no great god around to give directions, many things need to be explored by oneself.

2. What is 3D game modeling?

We can first understand the literal meaning of "3d game modeling", 3d (three-dimensional, three-dimensional) game (multi-fingered video game) modeling (building a model), in short, one of the things we have to do is to create A three-dimensional video game model.

3. Can you learn 3D game modeling without a foundation?

Of course, no one knows it from the beginning. The basics of 3D modeling are relatively simple to learn. Practice makes perfect software. Practice more every day, and you can master it in a few weeks, so you don’t have to worry about it. Friends who want to learn game modeling, you can + skirt, the first three digits are 732, the middle three digits are 672, and the last three digits are 604. You can share some learning experience and methods with you, as well as game modeling. Software installation instructions.

4. What is the main content of 3D game modeling?

In game companies, game modeling is mainly divided into 3D scene modeling and 3D character modeling. The job of the 3D scene engineer is to create a 3D scene model that meets the requirements according to the original painting settings and planning requirements; Concept drawings of game characters or pets (NPCs) Build 3D models of game characters, monsters, and NPCs. 3D game scene modeling is in high demand in the project, and it is relatively quick to get started, so it is very suitable for novices. If you have no art foundation, you can start with small scene widgets and progress step by step.

The current 3D modeling is divided into 3D characters, 3D scenes, next-generation characters, and next-generation scenes.

Compared with 3D games, the next-generation game models are closer to reality, and the pictures are more immersive. It is used in many large-scale games. For example, "Assassin's Creed", "Counter-Strike", "Tomb Raider" and so on.

Now let me introduce the next generation of modeling software, which is the general term for 3dsmax, maya, and zbrush.

3d max: All kinds of large and small modeling start from 3d max. It is also very useful to make architectural scenes. Start slowly from small scenes, small characters, etc. Don’t be afraid, do it little by little. Later, you can download those next-generation game scene pictures to imitate. It takes a long journey to learn 3D. Learn the primary model making methods, master the techniques of geometric modeling and polygon modeling, and make simple and non-special-shaped models. It is very important to be familiar with the software, and it is almost the same to do a few more cases. The software of 3D modeling is very complicated and it is very important to practice more.

Maya: Master character modeling, simple model, high model, fine model, game props, split uv, paint texture, Maya's CG function is very comprehensive, modeling, particle system, hair generation, plant creation, clothing simulation and so on.

ZBrush: is a digital sculpting and painting software that revolutionized the entire 3D industry with its powerful features and intuitive workflow. In a clean interface, ZBrush provides the world's most advanced tools for contemporary digital artists. The combination of functions developed with practical ideas not only stimulates the creativity of artists, but at the same time, ZBrush produces a user experience, which will feel very smooth when operating. ZBrush is capable of sculpting models up to a billion polygons, so the limit is only up to the artist's own imagination.
