Some advice to 3D modelling beginners from Peter McMullan at Northern Regional Colleges, Northern Ireland:<\/p>\n

“… I have pasted below a link to my YouTube channel, there you can find a little of my 3D work going back over the years (and some other stuff). The medical animations are quite interesting. here<\/a>
\nHere are my two golden rules of 3D which I always adhere to…..<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you can’t see it, don’t model it!<\/li>\n
  2. If it looks right, It is right!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Obviously this comes from a perspective of using 3D in the entertainment industry, I wouldn’t recommend doing this if you’re using 3D to make engineering designs for planes or buildings.<\/p>\n

    If you are keen on 3D, if you find it fun, if your passionate about it as I am, stick with it. If you find yourself up against a brick wall and can’t work something out, don’t give up. Just remember that after using 3ds Max [software] since its 1st release in the early 90’s I still refer to tutorials, help files and forums on a daily basis. No one knows it all, but someone knows everything about your problem.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
