Computing power of 3D modeling

How long do you usually learn 3D modeling? If it's too long, I won't play

the question of how long to learn 3D modeling is not very easy to answer. It's a ghost who knows your strength and attitude towards hard work. If you fish for three days and dry the net for two days, I don't think you can learn it in 10000 years. If you go all out and study hard, you can play 3D modeling well in five or six months. Of course, if you want to reach the level of great God, you have to practice for two or three years on the basis of strength. After all, experts are not experts at all. They used to be rookies. They are easy to step on the air and pull their thighs

some kids say that if 3D modeling takes too long, they won't play with this technology. What I want to say is what's easy these days? What's easy? Watch too many TV dramas. When you meet an expert, pass on a secret martial arts script. Then you can learn it in a day or two, and you will be invincible. The beginning of the TV series is like this: the above story is pure fiction. Only with perseverance and patience can we learn technology well. We always have an impetuous heart and can't learn anything

< H2 > how to learn the roadmap for four-dimensional modeling

if you are a zero foundation, you need a complete 3D modeling course D design. A good course design should include the following four aspects:

1. A month's basic course study to improve the art strength

although zero foundation can learn 3D modeling, it does not mean that we can ignore the foundation. So the first step of our study is to consolidate our art foundation. Of course, we can learn without art foundation. We need to spend more time and understand it slowly. This is not a problem

The fastest way to practice is to directly on the PS sketchpad. In a month, you can about 40 shoulder class A and chart small objects, and the quantity can reach the standard. In terms of quality, in the process of ing, students or teachers who are good at art are also needed to give guidance, find out the problems of each work, correct them, revise them, and comment on them. In this way, the art ability will be greatly improved in one month

Step 1: from zero foundation to foundation: including art foundation, Software Foundation (3DMAX, ZBrush, PS)

mainly includes: 3DMAX foundation, UV splitting and placement, mapping foundation. After three months of intensive training, you are very familiar with the whole proction process of 3D modeling

(1) first learn the bottom modeling software (3DMAX or Maya)

the subject mentioned that if you want to develop in the field of game modeling, at this stage, you can learn from the basic 3D modeling software, which can be 3DMAX or Maya. You can choose to master one of them, but don't learn both. It will take up a lot of your time, which is not concive to your professional expertise

(2) learn the high-precision model software (ZBrush)

complete the model building in 3D Max or Maya, and then use ZBrush software for fine carving where there is a need for detail processing

the software mentioned above is the core skill that game modelers need to master. At the same time, in the process of making model material mapping, Photoshop is often used for post-processing, and bodypain 3D is used to make 3D texture. As for the game special effects unity3d software, it depends on the needs of the company's team and learning on demand

again, in the early stage of your study, you should focus on the construction of the bottom mold and the study of the fine carving software, not on the eyebrows and moustaches

the second step: complete the proction process of the next generation of 3D modeling:

mainly includes: 3DMAX modeling, ZB carving high mode, Maya topology low mode, mayauv splitting, Toolbag or SP baking map, SP drawing material, eight monkey rendering. This step is the core stage of the whole learning, so there is no free course at this stage. If your self-learning ability and self-control is better, video and online classes are OK. The price of physical class will be relatively expensive

after learning the whole 3D modeling process of art foundation, software foundation, UV and mapping, we began to carry out project training, and started training for different types of 3D modeling: male body modeling, female body modeling, painting of cloth, skin, hair, metal, q version and other models and color training. The actual combat cases of each project are not randomly selected, and each case has a certain focus and training direction. After learning and training all kinds of materials, you can go to real company projects easily

4. One month real project training in the company

5.: one month's work is advanced, work arrangement and employment test

refine your works, learn some advanced techniques such as material, lighting and rendering, so as to make your works more wonderful

at this stage, the teacher will check and fill the gaps according to each student's questions. Employment recommendation, received employment test, teacher guidance, hope you can join your favorite game company

< H2 > talk about the experience of a 3D modeler, listen to the experience of others, and go your own way

as a veteran, a piece of advice for novices may not be available to you now, but you may be able to use it for a long time in the later promotion

I'm a semi monk modeler, and I majored in fine arts when I was a student. I majored in classical painting and occasionally took a class in sculpture next door. At that time, my goal was to be quite a cartoonist, but I found that the situation in China was a bit mixed, and I was a dead brain. I didn't want to draw that kind of cartoon. So I resolutely gave up, and then there was a period of three years of confusion. In these three years, I worked in a Suzhou jade carving studio. At the same time, I was exploring my future goals, painting, sculpture, and playing games. It was only in the last half year that I turned to CG instry for modeling

at that time, many colleagues were puzzled and gave up the job with objective income (at that time, they could get 12000 a month) and switched to work in a new field. Many colleagues around me advised me, but I finally quit my job. After that, I spent 15 days on the boss to submit all kinds of resumes, and finally joined a company. Of course, very soon, I became a regular immediately, and then started various projects

after writing so much, I just want to tell the new people that learning modeling is not easy, but it's really not as difficult as heaven. At the beginning, the most difficult part is actually the operation of various kinds of software. Some people will bring a lot of pain, but self-study will really cause a lot of pain. Although there is a problem with the network, I would like to say one thing: let me have a look at your network. Some questions can't be found on the Internet, not that they don't exist, but that your description may not be able to search for the answers. Often those are not what you want. Only when you have learned a certain stage can you find the answers

All in all, after going through the most important initial stage of learning, the rest is accumulation. There are still a lot of things accumulated, but the most important thing is aesthetics

if you say that the newcomers in the instry rely on their mastery of various kinds of software at the beginning, the most important thing for the veteran is aesthetics, because after entering the instry, your learning ability will increase accumulatively, and the software will only learn faster and faster. For example, if you have mastered Maya, ZB and Max before, now let you learn blender, The speed must be much faster than when I first came into contact with software, because the software is all interoperable and is based on the computer as an operating terminal. It can not be separated from this category. So, the software in these moves didn't play a decisive role in the future. Of course, I don't mean that we don't need to master new technology, but we don't have to worry about whether we will spend a lot of time to learn new ones. Rest assured, it doesn't take much time

if software is defined as the style of martial arts fiction, then the aesthetic and manual skills are like a master's inner strength, like Zhang Wuji, the decisive role of the bright top is nothing special. What's more, people have Joyoung's magic skills, and dozens of years of internal force, who beat him, and Zhang Sanfeng's Taijiquan site teaching, directly destroy the mysterious and the old. It's a bit trite to give examples, but I can't think of any other good metaphors when I write them.) This is the function of internal skills. Therefore, aesthetics is the main factor that determines whether you can go up in the end. After all, software learning is still very fast, but if you can't achieve aesthetics, it's just a waste of software skills This is a bit of a director, but there are some big guys who are specialized in researching all kinds of software and looking for all kinds of efficient new processes. Here, kneel down to respect these big guys first)
