• Do I have to use Maya/ZBrush/Substance/Marmoset? Can I use something else?

  The course is designed with these programs in mind due to their place as industry standard tools. You may use other tools if you wish (blender, gimp, etc) and apply the same techniques to those programs, but keep in mind the course was designed for Maya, Zbrush, Substance, and Marmoset

• Why do I need to present my models in Marmoset if I just want to make models for games?

  While making models for games is all about getting it into the game, presenting your work in the best possible light is a big part of art. For personal or portfolio projects you should always take the time to present them. A few hours of lighting and rendering in marmoset will get much better results than spending those hours further polishing your model and textures.

• Wow, this seems like too much work!

  You will find the difficulty of your project has a lot to do with the complexity of the model you attempt to create. If it is your first time tackling these subjects I recommend keeping it simple for this course (a screwdriver rather than a car). You can always spend more time later improving and polishing your work after the course. Perfect is the enemy of done!

• Does my model have to be of a real-world object, can it be fantasy, an illustration, or my own original design?

  Every problem is a combination of what to do and how to do it, it's best if you aren't trying to do both at once. Most 3d artist work from image or concepts generated by another artists, so being able to follow someone else's design is an essential skill.

  As for concept art, it's best to stick to real world things. Just like 2d artist start drawing with still life, 3d artists can learn a lot by recreating a real world object. Paintings lie, and concept art can often contain lots of visual shorthand, they are sketches meant to convey the idea the artist is going for. It will be much easier to find all the reference you will need from a real world object.

  You could pick a movie or tv prop, as long as you can find enough reference. Our goal in this course is to learn how to take an object and create a photo-real facsimile of it. When you have done that, you will be much more able to make the kinds of assumptions and leaps in logic you will need to work with limited reference.
