I need your help.

hi, i JUST started unity, can some one tell me the recommended programs i should download (Ex: blender, etc.)
i also need some fresh ideas if some one can share them with me, im trying my hardest to find something original.
if you can please name them here so i can decide and hopefully i can create it.

additional info would be appreshiated,

THX.

Blender is a must for 3d unless you’ve got money.
Photoshop, GIMP are both ok for 2d stuff.
And look through some tuts, plenty of 'em.

Also, love your avatar.

Thanks, but i have downloaded Blender, isnt it free? then why not use it?
By the way do u have any ideas on a game i should do, i want something original. never done.

If your goind to learn 2d get Illustrator and not photoshop… I started with photoshop and now I use illustrator… Unless your just editing things dont get photoshop :slight_smile:

Just my opinion

no im aiming for a 3d game, so any (free) 3d programs for like creating models, terrian, Etc.?

Blender

Blender is your best bet for free. There are other things out there but only Blender has functionality rivaling professional apps like Maya. The only problem is getting over the hurdle of the GUI, which I understand can be quite tricky at first.

EDIT: 200 posts :smile:

well on a difficult’o’meter, how much would you rate it based off of (your) view, and the view of on with 0% experience wih it?

Depends on how quick you learn. If you understand the philosophy behind 3d concepts. (terminology etc)
For some it will take months of intensive training, for others it’s a few weeks.
But Blender requires some heavy practice (even for 3dmax/Maya/Modo users converting). Since blender has it’s very own unique way of doing things. (which is either a good or a bad thing, depends per person)

8/10 is for me they put too much of icons.You have to use right click to select faces wich is stupid and not normal for 3d softwares.

You can customise all this stuff, though, to find out what suits you. And don’t ignore Sculptis people! I love sculpting in Sculptris.

well personally i think lender is a wonderful tool to learn, but does anyone know a site that has (free) video tutorals?

Youtube.

HERE

Yeah YouTube has loads of tutorials!
Good luck.
