>what got you into 3d
Dissatisfaction with current vidya. Many times I play a game and think "man I would have done this differently", they just don't satisfy me anymore. Begging developers to make the game I want is some whiny shit, so I gotta become the change I wanna see. My first games are undoubtedly shit, but I hope someday I'll become good enough that I'll be able to make my dR3aM G4me. A really cliché concept that's bound to have made some anons roll their eyes, and for good reason as only ideafags speak in those terms, but hey I'm actually making some progress in 3D so I'm already further ahead than most ideafags. WAGM faggots

It kinda just happened with a 3D intro class in uni. I always liked creative modes in games, I built small games / levels in various web tools, I built pen&paper games during my childhood. So during the class I realized I could now make some cool atmospheric game environments with my acquired knowledge, and so I started learning environment art. It went from there pretty much. All this relatively late btw, at around 22. 5 years later I'm working as a freelancer for various game, VR and learning content projects. Also managing other artists on some projects. Given the nature of being a remote freelancer, I still kinda feel like I'm not a part of a 3D community though, which is kinda sad I guess. I never worked in an actual real studio 9-5.

The Spyro remake came out with 60+ smoking hot dragons in it and I realised game engines were good enough to do animated movies in now without waiting forever to render.

I was immediately hooked the first week and I don't think I've taken a break off 3d for more than a single day since

I'm inspired to use 3D software as a meditative feedback loop for use in lucid dreaming and later, assets for VR environments. I am not interested in doing it professionally. What motivates me is the understanding that what I want to be made will never be available on the market.

when i first started off, it was because of Code Lyoko
but recently, it's been square enix visual works.
The way they adapt their bizarre anime-ass character designs into almost flawless 3D is so impressive

I got into 3D because of Warcraft 3 and I wanted to make high quality lowpoly enemies to put in the game. Then I was going to make my own game which sucked ass but it taught me a lot of things.

Now I just model for fun and to share with my friends or the 2 people on twitter that like my stuff. I don't really care if it succeeds, I'm havin fun pushing vertices around.

More specifically, I wanted to make outfit mods for illusion games and I wanted to learn how to sculpt so I could make my own figurines.
I still haven't managed to reach a satisfying level in sculpting but now I'm problably one of the most expert md/clo3d users on the board kek.

The... 6th Phoenix Wright game, I think? There's this one section where you cross-examine a pair of magician bunny girl twins who keep performing "magic tricks" in their animations. Like at one point they do this thing where they go back to back, spin around, open the umbrella as a curtain, then when they drop it one of them is "levitating" (pic related). I remember I didn't even care about the story at that point, I just wanted to see what other silly animations they had. I started studying Blender just because I wanted to make fun animations like that.

Hotel Transylvania’s animation really inspired me. Up until then I had figured you couldn’t really get that much squash and stretch out of 3d animation, nor the wild, exaggeration in the expressions. I picked up blender, for a bit, then tried maya… then promptly dropped both.

Much later, Captain Yajima inspired me to look into Blender again and to my surprise it had a ton of traditional animation tools that not even some of the paid 2d animation software had. That and I had moved a bit away from traditional animation at that point and was much more into crafts, and the fact Blender could create such a convincingly real stop motion look had me. After that I tried to find the pitfalls I usually found in the softwares I had used in Blender and was surprised that it had addressed them all.

It’s funny because I use blender mostly for 2D, but the tools it provides has it doing a lot of what would have been the grunt work and inbetweeners jobs for me.

IRL sculpting puts me in a state of flow much like playing video games. Just like with drawing it was inevitable I would proceed with the digital format with commercial application and 3D printing in mind. Also convenient not to have to deal with supplies causing a mess and running out.

That and I got tired of looking at the stock anime head in zbrush used in every anime model making it look like a lalafell that got an allergic reaction from a bee sting

Honestly, I had no reason. I was just bored and there weren't any good video games to play. I wanted to make my own game but got filtered by programming. Around that time, comments about the brand new release of Blender 3.0 started popping up, so I downloaded it on a whim and it ended up being really fun.

Looking back, first time I heard of Blender was when someone mentioned it on Newgrounds around the 2000s. For works that inspired me, there was a 2D stickman fighting animation called Xiao Xiao which I loved, and later on I saw Monty Oum's Dead Fantasy series of 3D martial arts action which was great, and I'd like to be able to make that sort of animation some day.

Unity or Unreal are good programs for making vidyas.
Obviously it's cooler to make your own engines and stuff, but since you're a single person doing it, unreal is fantastic
Good renders + can easily make multiplayer games + as long you know how to do 3D models, you can make cool stuff

I'm the anon you were replying to.

I learned how to code through the Harvard CS50 online course. It's very good, i couldn't have possibly chosen a better way to learn. Watch the lectures and do all the exercises and you'll come out of it knowing everything you need to deepen yourself into programming.
https://pll.harvard.edu/course/cs50-introduction-computer-science?delta=0

They begin the course by teaching you C in the first few lectures in order to get you initiated to how programming and computers work, then when you're already relatively good they're also gonna give you the basics of languages like Python and JavaScript. Keep in mind tho that learning languages like these is piss-fucking easy when you already know C.

Speaking of C, i highly highly recommend that you read the book in pic related and do all of the exercises (look for help on the internet if you need). Not only it will give you a deeper understanding of the language, it will make you a better programmer and give you valuable experience.

I'm also familiar with the C++ programming language (used on unreal) too, which i self-taught myself using the site cplusplus.com after watching this guy's videos:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAE85DE8440AA6B83

TL;DR Of course i'm just telling you here how i've learned. You don't need to do all this shit if you want you can do only CS50 and then proceed to learn Unity or Godot, etc...

>Does it teach any programming?
It uses visual scripting, which is a type of programming done by connecting boxes instead of typing all of the code by hand. It's faster and much harder to fuck up. The main tradeoff is that it's less optimized, but the difference isn't dramatic enough to matter unless you're doing something completely crazy. Last time I used it, there were also a handful of functions that weren't available in blueprints, but they were pretty niche things.

being exposed to PCs at a super young age, grandpa worked for Lockheed.
when i was in elementary i would go to work with my mom sometimes and just sit in a random unused cubicle and draw on MS paint for hours and hours.
this led to getting pirated versions of Photoshop when i was 12 and i used to shit out memes before 4chan even existed, 2001ish.
