Cinematics or game design?

game I think- a workflow where I would make the high res, then bake it to the low poly

I've been studying this lately. My conclusion is that it is actually harder than it seems. It is hard to do in Blender due to the topology concerns, so it might be worth it to try Moi 3d instead.

Bumping for interest. For video games too. I know what the basic modeling operation do and I can use the tools but when it comes to actually model stuff, I turn into a retard.

OP, Elementza has an excellent course on Maya, I started it recently.

Thanks a ton- I'm after the technique and approach , these should help

Before I dive into learning from expert, anyone would have a word of input on this approach?
>block out the basic shape and edge boundaries of the prop with a handful of primitives
>attack this blockout with a fewer number of primitives, this time with higher poly and edgeflow and form in mind
>refine and define the curves/cuts
>????? Done with high poly??


I know this shit gets really tricky at a threshold of complexity, I don;t mean to say the steps above as being easy peasy, just keeping it brief. Seeking clarification, or what you guys would do instead

Learn sub-d. Best resource is "how you model dem shapes" thread on polycount. read FrankPolygon's posts.

Also can learn boolean-remesher method to use for certain shapes, like parts of guns that are just made with a bunch of primitives booleaned together. (https://www.artstation.com/blogs/timbergholz/0dz7/revolver-tutorial-whats-in-it-and-why-blenders-remesher-workflow-is-amazing)

This, the old polycount tread is the best
Also we should need to have a general sub-d modeling thread on /3/

Real chads sculpt their hardsurface in zbrush and retopologize after.

if you're doing it in blender then Josh Gambrell is a good youtuber for this
https://youtube.com/c/JoshGambrell

and now the addons, here, Boxcutter and Hardops
https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1H_5i83hw2hpqhASwYrleHGxeFRK3JInV?usp=sharing

if you wanna do hardaurface sculpting then the nvidia helmet series is a good place to start.

just remember if you're doing the latter to remesh once its finished. you may lose detail but if you're just gonna make a sculpt with an armature its just best to optimize the geo

That's right, pay for the thousand of addons you need for tools that come out of the box in Max and Maya kek.

No, avoid forums. 99% of the time they're a comical waste of time that don't contain the answer you're looking for.
