In this video I explain the best order to learn 3D modelling if you're a beginner. Many people start with the wrong things and make the process much harder than it needs to be. If I had to learn Blender and 3D art again from scratch, this is the exact learning path I would follow.
If you're new to Blender, 3D modelling, or 3D art, this roadmap will help you understand what to learn first and how to progress efficiently.
Many of the tutorials mentioned are free on this channel, so you can start learning immediately.
Topics covered:
00:00 - Intro
00:55 - Step 1 - Low poly modeling
03:30 - Step 2 - Detailed low poly
04:45 - Step 3 - Texturing
07:06 - Step 4 - Sculpting Or Hard Surface
07:48 - Step 5 - Optimise - Topology/Retopology
If you're looking to learn Blender for beginners, 3D modelling, game art, or stylised 3D, this video will give you a clear path to follow.
