So I have to learn to do 2D drawings?..Thats going to take ages :(

[@MHTutorials3D]

You don't have to learn how to draw if you don't have time but at least learn the principles and techniques in theory

[@gr8m8n8]

This is really good advice!

[@cgshowcase]

very good guide

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thanks you

[@chillaxman2625]

thank you so much !! How long it will take to become good and earn money from 3D modelling ? With 0 draw skills

[@MHTutorials3D]

That depends on how much money. You might earn your first $ 10 after just a month or two but making money fulltime can take ( many ) years

[@chillaxman2625]

​ Mike Hermes thanks for your honesty! so after 3-4- years with hard practice , will I become a pro and I can create most 3D models easily? sorry ,im just new to this and I wanna decide for my future. thank you agin

[@MHTutorials3D]

@@chillaxman2625 It is good that you give this a lot of thought. How long someone works on it is just one part of it. After this time your work has to be good too :-) Can it be done ? Yes, it can and thousands have. Is it easy ? Oh no, it is not. It is very, very hard work and very uncertain. But if you make it, it is awesome !

Hi my name is Grecia and I have one question. I want to be a 3d character modeler but I am a little confused in what degree I should choose. Should I get a degree in Graphic Design B.F.A or an Art, Concentration in Animation/Illustration, B.F.A.? I would really appreciate it if you could help me understand which degree is best to become a 3d character modeler.

[@MHTutorials3D]

Hi Grecia, Graphic Design is usually something very different than 3D. Depending on your wishes I guess BFA would be a better choice

[@kozak9119]

Hi. I'd like yo ask for an advise. I'll like to be a 3D character modeler ( i like Final Fantasy a lot, that's my inspiration. Also, love that photorealistic finishing in 3D) but i don't know what degree should i choose. I'm between Industrial design or Plastic Arts. Even computer science or graphic design but i really don't know. (Where i live there are not degrees in animation or 3D). Which one would be helpful? Sorry if my grammar is not correct. Spanish is my first language. TY

[@hipogejus]

I had a similar situation. Was aiming for character art in games, couldn't study that in my country. Went to a traditional fine arts academy to study sculpture. I think that's a pretty solid option if you are really into character art. I am now working in the field of smaller games, and I think studies helped with understanding fundamentals - drawing, sculpting, anatomy in specific is what you should focus the most there, if you choose this route. You will learn 3d packages in your free time/later, that's not important really. Would advise against choosing any of the specs you listed (not sure what plastic art is tho, if it's sculpture related then maybe it's ok)

[@digitalart4245]

take care of yourself

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thank you !

[@heroeeees]

I just want to know snd see what is 3d Artist. No video as example :-(

[@MHTutorials3D]

The title is "How to become a 3D artist?" and NOT "What is a 3D artist?"

[@heroeeees]

@@MHTutorials3D ok, cool. What is 3d artist?

[@heatherroderick1808]

Mike did you draw winnie the pooh?

[@MHTutorials3D]

No, it is an original from 1966 ( the one on the right ) , The How to Fish ( middle with Goofy ) is 1942

[@heatherroderick1808]

Wow mike that's awesome

[@MHTutorials3D]

I know you are a huge Disney fan :-)

[@heatherroderick1808]

Yeah I am 😊

[@Pencilworld194]

I m portrait artist. How i update

[@dazzlesoftware]

awesome video, I actually develop games :D AAA titles :D

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thanks Stephen

[@devjitpaul1191]

do you "professionally" develop them? like a job, if so any tips for me? and please list some of your work titles please :)

[@MHTutorials3D]

I do, contact me via [e-mail] if interested

[@devjitpaul1191]

@it's_ Ruchith well, generally depression and aspiration combined really, some days i'm depressed accomplishing nothing, some days when i get some results i feel awesome, the key thing i learned is keep at it, it may not happen today but it certainly will tomorrow. Speaking from experience.

[@ADI-xp4qe]

Hey Mike! Is good portfolio enough to get a job overseas as character artist? Or is it the art school that gives us exposure for overseas jobs?

[@MHTutorials3D]

In my personal experience the work counts most

[@ADI-xp4qe]

Mike Hermes I will keep in mind thank you for responding:)

[@nishantgupta2611]

Is Maya works for PC game assets ?

[@ADI-xp4qe]

Nishant Gupta yes absolutely

[@nishantgupta2611]

ADI Thanks brother 😊

[@Xyzewell]

Almost every poly modelling software works for game assets.

[@nishantgupta2611]

OctaneCalamity ok.. but there are some or many industries which requires specific software's knowledge/skills.

[@TheMASTERFURIOUS]

I think most industries mainly use software like Maya (for either animation, modeling assets) and 3dsMax. Some others like Modo, Cinema4D

[@bintuae1]

Is it difficult as a career?

[@MHTutorials3D]

It is a lot of work for sure....

[@thesorrow96]

so u work at games or what ?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Movies, Games, Industrial
