Modeling existed long before drawing tablets. You got it backwards cause modeling is done with mouse and keyboard most time. And in my experience its way easier. Tablets are for drawing. I use Blender for modeling and texture painting, Gimp for image manipulation, and Krita for painting. Why those and not Maya or 3DSMax or Mudbox or something? Because I intend to use my products commercially and I don’t have a spare $10k laying around to get all that software.

The thing is I want to use Unity for my projects at school but I am wondering if something like Unity would be considered ok for a student since schools usually want you to know programming properly.
[/quote]What is “proper programming”?
Whether it’s okay or not depends on what exactly it is you’re trying to achieve. If you’re merely using Unity for visualizing/showcasing some form of algorithm/behavior/model that can be used in other places, it’s okay.

From what I heard stuff like Unity makes everything too easy…
[/quote]Ha. Haha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Unity merely makes it easier. With all the tools in the world a game won’t magically develop itself.

…to build a game as all the programming is already done…
[/quote]Really? 
Would you mind telling me where I can find my unique game after installing Unity? Would have saved me a lot of time I wasted programming myself.
As far as programming goes, game development has two aspects to it:
Engine and game logic. Unity only ships the former.

…and you can even make games without any programming knowledge.
[/quote]“Game” is a very broad term, you know.
The complexity varies from project to project.

Won’t this then be frowned upon by a school
[/quote]Probably. There will always be some elitist douchebag that lacks confidence in his own work, so that he needs to talk shit about others.
Hey @TheSniperFan , is it not enough that you twist what I wrote in another thread so you could setup a straw man to argue with, now you have to misaapropriate quotes in this thread to me?

Snip
[/quote]Hmmmm.
I wonder how that happened, since you didn’t even reply in this thread beforehand.
Sorry for that. 
Spoiler since this is offtopic and just to reply to schmosef If you feel that I twisted what you wrote, rest assured that I didn’t. Possibly I just misunderstood what you were trying to say or wasn’t paying attention. Either way this wasn’t intentional.

Trust me, this journey will not be practical. You can count on my experience. Once upon a time, I too thought of a God of war clone. I now know the complexity. So I urgently tell you to abstain. Form a team and specialize urself.
But… if your have enough time and money to survive 2-3 years, then why not. Start learning and deving now. You can learn a lot of thing.
Unity is a great engine. I have not researched other engine enough to tell you comparative qualitative answer.
