RE: Undead Burg - Dark Souls 1 inspired 3D scene [Blender]
Very cool content you've build there. Respect! You have my follow!
Short question: I am a hobby game dev and never modeled anything... I am just writing code :D
How much effort do you think is it to get into blender and have something somewhat usefull? Would be great for me to be able to create stuff for prototypes on my own.
Hello, thank you for the follow!
Blender is a lot easier than you think, people make 3D modelling seem like it's something hard to do, but it's not at all if you learn from the right place.
To get started, I followed these tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjEaoINr3zgHs8uzT3yqe4iHGfkCmMJ0P&disable_polymer=true
The entire playlist is around 5 hours long, and you'll learn pretty much everything you need to start building things on your own.
The interface is gonna be scary at first, maybe, but once you learn what everything does, you'll see how intuitive it is. Plus, somewhere next year a new release for Blender will appear, Blender 2.80, that will have a much nicer interface, so it's gonna be even easier for beginners to get into 3D modelling using Blender.
If you're interested, watch the tutorials in the playlist I gave you, then, once you're done, on the same channel (Blender Guru) watch the Anvil tutorials and try to make an anvil yourself. That's gonna teach you more advanced stuff, like good texturing and modelling.
Once you're done with all those tutorials you should be able to build a bunch of things alone.
I actually did it! Thanks for pointing out his channel! Made the first step easy and satisfying :D
That awesome, good job! Hope you liked Blender :)
Thank you for the comprehensive answer :)
I will definitely take a look at it.
