What would you like to make? Are you a programmer, artist or a designer? The tools vary greatly depending what you’re trying to do.

Couple of well known 3D modeling tools would be:
-3DS Max
-Maya
-Cinema 4D
-Blender (free)
-Zbrush (for sculpting)

2D tools for textures and the like:
-Photoshop
-Gimp (free)

There are more, but I think these are the most commonly used ones :slight_smile:

Don’t forget xnormal and all the other stuff for that type of work

Actually i am a programmer. But trying to find out how assets are created and i can build mine. Or some place where they can make assets how i want.

One of the best tools ive found to make 3d objects is a very very cheap modelling package called Hexagon 2 which is sold via Daz.
This is the platform ive used to create all my 3d elements for the past 8 years. I own various other 3d apps, of which they have specific rolls, such as softimage - but personally I wouldn’t model in any other app than hexagon

Take a look, its a got a great toolset.
