Any good 3d Modleing program.

I am looking for a 3d modeling program. Blender is hard to use with all those hotkeys. I cant find any tuts that teach without using hotkeys. Do somebody know any other good 3d modeling program.

What is wrong with hot keys? Any program will require them. If you don’t want to use them, the side bar has everything you need.

I work with Lightwave and love it. Plus there are many great tutorials online by William Vaughan, an excellent teacher. Give it a try. :slight_smile:

hotkeys maker you faster :slight_smile:
Not only in lightwave :wink:

Blender (My Fav! )

Hexagon 2.5

Art of Illusion

K3D

Are all free.

Carrera 8.5 (You have to pay for.)

Softimage XSI (You have to pay for.)

LightWave (You have to pay for.)

Cinema 4D (You have to pay for.)

Maya (You have to pay for.)

3dsmax (You have to pay for.)

Are some of the many 3D modelling programs out there.

Yep. What these guys, KheltonHeadley, Eric Matyas and RandAlThor are all true.
And, if you don’t want to use hotkeys, you can use the sidebar as Mr. KheltonHeadley suggested.
I use both.

And yes, using hotkeys saves alot of time and makes work finish alot faster too. :slight_smile:
Well in most cases.

Enjoy!

I hope I’m posting the link for the correct tutorials.
I hope these tuts help you Theonesuperx.
Bye. :sunglasses:

Download trials for a number of 3d modeling apps and spend a week or two with each one to really get a feel for what works best for you.

With any 3d modeling application you will only get out what you put in, that includes Blender.
Blender is very capable and an experienced artist can do amazing work with it.
Hot keys will speed up your workflow a lot, it is worth learning them early for any modeling app you use.

For some good tutorials on blender you can check out http://cgcookie.com/blender/

Learning to do 3d modeling takes time though it is a lot of fun as you get better :slight_smile:

modo

Thats my most convincing draw at the moment, it seems like i’d appreciate it a great deal more that my current modeller

How is it with very large files? Well, not that large, but 5-10 million polys coming from Z-Brush

Learn damn hotkeys and use Blender!

I know it makes many to pull hair from their ass (like I did while trying to figure out how to keyframe soundtrack’s volume in video edit mode), but for its price :smile: it offer you everything you ever could need for.

nvil or modo, or blender

Why is this in Unity Gossip? This belongs in External Tools where there are many threads answering this question. If OP had done a search or just looked through the forums they would know this is not the appropriate forum for this question.

It doesn’t take long to learn all the commonly used hotkeys but printing a hotkey chart helps:

Blender. Rest is art. No other tools will do the work for you, you have to learn to express yourself.

Not completly free, some 20$ only.

Nah, sorry, ive been using top end 3D apps for a decent part of my life, blenders very capable but it hasnt got a patch on high-end, admittedly costly 3D modellers. I can’t even begin to express the scale of the featureset differences, not that many expensive 3D apps dont have supposedly great features that are in fact arse, and an invitation to crashville (Thankyou Autodesk)

I see modo like it could be a great product (The Foundry’s output is top notch) its a bit out of most folk’s pricerange but i cant wait to get enough time to sit down and learn my way around it, i’m just busy busy all the time

Yep Modo is a great and complete App.
You have modeler only Silo2 , very easy to use and for very cheap price also.

1500 euro cheap? yeah sure…

Are you talking about silo price ? because it does not cost that , actually 109$ if you go on their website…or maybe you were referring to modo pricing ?

Have I been shadow banned? This thread should be moved to External Tools.

Lightwave 3D 11.6.1

A truly fanatastic app.
