when i started with 3D i didn’t have a goal and therefore didn’t make progress. :Dīut the most important 1st step is to have a goal.
also you should checkout the polycount WIKI which is a goldmine containing tipps and tutorials – you could spend days reading through it. i’m mostly visiting where you can find tons of awesome people which can help when you’ve questions. i think the next step is to have a good community. I’m sure you already know that google/youtube is full of awesome tutorials.
Great to hear that you like my videos :) i hope you’ll like future ones too :) regarding your questions:
Hopefully I can dig this out my browsing history. Of course, Epic’s introducing to Cascade and particles is a good startīut there’re also some twitch streams which were done by the Epic Games customer relation department, so some Senior VFX artist show their techniques (didn’t watch all of them by now)…one is missing, can’t find it. I got some from people I don’t know where there working, for example this guys: I’m working with UE4 so I looked for UDK and UE4 tuts. I found some Tutorials on Youtube from different people.
