The 3D thread - EduardoGaray - 02-18-2015
I was never good at naming things.
I just started tackling 3d on my own and since i believe i'm not the only one here i though it would be great to have a thread were we can post tutorials we find, share resources and post the stuff we make to give/receive critiques and feedback.
I'm not sure if this is right section for it, sorry if its in the wrong place! ^^'
I will start posting the resources and tutorials i've discovered, Keep in mind that as a complete noob i will post very basic stuff haha, feel free to add whatever you find useful no matter your skill level. I will update this post to list all the tutorials and resources you guys may add and ever divide it in difficulty leves if necessary.

RE: The 3D thread - Pookaball - 02-19-2015
You said it's the 3D thread, but what if someone does 4D stuff? Can he post it here, as well as tutorials for 3D things?
RE: The 3D thread - Patrick Gaumond - 02-19-2015
I haven't used blender yet but I thought some people might like to try sculptris
http://pixologic.com/sculptris/
It's from the fine folks who made zbrush and works a lot like clay actually. Very easy to pick and learn and probably a good way to learn about from in 3d space before getting into the very technical stuff we see a lot. And best of all it's currently free
RE: The 3D thread - EduardoGaray - 02-19-2015
@Pookaball: you mean cinema 4d? if so, then yes. Feel free to post, this thread is to share info about everything related to 3d not only modeling. Texturing, rigging, animating, rendering, whatever. :)
@Patrick Gaumond: downloading right away dude! thanks, you got me when you said that it works like clay. Blender is awesome, its really powerful and has lots of potential but it its pretty tough too.
I'm currently getting into texturing with Blender, so probably tonight or tomorrow i will update the first post with tutorials related to that.
RE: The 3D thread - Triggerpigking - 02-19-2015
hmm, i've been thinkin about trying 3d modeling for a while, never got round to it so i'll give that sculptris program a shot :).
RE: The 3D thread - Pookaball - 02-19-2015
@EduardoGaray: I mean sculture in real life; sorry if this was not clear enough.
RE: The 3D thread - Amit Dutta - 02-19-2015
Yo Eduardo. Nice thread name. :P
Blender
Andrew Prices's tutorials on Blender are really informative and well explained.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOKHwx1VCdgnxwbjyb9Iu1g
Total beginners may get a bit lost so it's recommended to learn the basics of the interface first; but in general his productions are highly useful.
This is one that I used specifically for particle instancing:
http://www.blenderguru.com/tutorials/make-grassy-meadow-scene
And because nobody has mentioned it, Sketchup beats the pants off any modeling software for ease of use if all you want to do is block out scenes for an illustration.
http://www.sketchup.com
No tutorials yet....but will update this post if I find some cool ones.
Some promo shit on how it's used in concept work just to whet your appetite:

RE: The 3D thread - EduardoGaray - 02-21-2015
@Pookaball: Aah i see, well real life modeling is different enough to need a thread on its own. :)
@Amit Dutta: Thanks a lot for sharing those! i will take a good look at them and add them to the first post later. And yeah Sketchup looks awesome, be sure to share those tuts if you find them!
It sucks i'm still busy with some stuff and comissions, so little time for 3d, but i will leave this here for now:
https://sketchfab.com/models/cbb2920678324f7daa8330ad5aa7723d
https://sketchfab.com/models/0d05df1941724656af963cae613cf482
You can download on sketchfab the models for the dark souls/animal crossing crossover scene i posted on the main post. Might be a good idea to download some models you like and see how they are done.
Also, if you are like me and love some good retro low poly stuff, check this folder:

RE: The 3D thread - Amit Dutta - 02-21-2015
Love that VGRemix stuff. Low poly is so cool. brings back memories I guess :)
RE: The 3D thread - EduardoGaray - 03-02-2015
Anthony jones shared this (free!) tutorials on gumroad about texturing 3d models.
I havent read them yet (they are in pdf format) but i'm sharing them anyways because why not.
https://gumroad.com/tvidotto
I was about to start getting into texturing this week, so perfect timing.
RE: The 3D thread - Triggerpigking - 03-02-2015
Found this to be a pretty good tutorial for the basics of Sculptris

RE: The 3D thread - KurtJeremy - 03-06-2015
im teaching myself zbrush lately, and i have got myself a gumroad tut by matt thorup.
as much as how the title is implicated , "intro to Zbrush and character design" it really isnt meant for beginners. i found this though. http://www.digitaltutors.com/tutorial/496-Beginners-Guide-to-ZBrush#play-31427
you can watch the whole course for free if you sign up.
RE: The 3D thread - meat - 03-08-2015
I don't know about y'all but learning 3D is so hard for me I can't even do more than just 1 software even though it seems everyone's saying this or that one is good. I'm getting enough headache just from learning 3ds Max, but when that student license expires in a year I'll have to switch to one of these... probably. After getting some things done in 3ds my next goal is also to move back into ZBrush, which should be loads of WTF and fun, lol!
Here is a list of free tutorials from Digital Tutors: http://www.digitaltutors.com/training/free-tutorials to get started. Also polycount forum is a great and active site for learning 3D.
