Welcome Everyone!

Calico_Cody · August 23, 2016, 4:18am

Hello again! I have already started the Unity3d course and figured this Blender course would help me too. I aim to make games as a hobby, and just maybe doing something career-wise with it. Either way, I think I can take the skills from these courses and use them to further my skill sets in the workforce.

Hello @ZacharyTyo
Figured i’d reply to your topic instead of creating my own topic called the same thing.

Name:
I’m Starskimmer.

Ambitions/Goals:
And hopefully this course will help in creating the models I need for my Video Game.

Goal in life…Create a video game worthy of the name.

Hey Everyone! Dema Fairport here, artist, dreamer, total geek! Here to learn blender as I have been fascinated with the Virtual reality world for 5 years now and being a graphic designer and virtual world sim designer I want to learn how to make my own assets as well as make assets for emerging VR technologies, worlds and games.

I have played with Maya and blender and after being so frustrated with mix match tutorials, I am ready to get down to business… sooo…

Let the fun begin!

Evening all, Monty here. First time using a udemy course for anything so here’s hoping it works out! I’m formally a musician so it’ll be interesting to see how to mix these two professions.

Very excited to learn my way through blender, I’ve only ever really experimented with 3D as a passing fancy, but playing through various games has made me realise how incredible the craft really is.

Let the blending commence!

mtjvankuik · August 23, 2016, 10:40pm

Welcome everyone! Martin van Kuik here.

I bought several courses, the Unity Developer Course, an additional physics engine course in addition to the unity developer course, and thirdly this blender course. I’d love to learn more about creating assets that may be used within unity. I’m eager to learn and i’d love to hear about you guys.

Have fun and enjoy the course!

Carl · August 23, 2016, 11:00pm

Hello, everyone!

I’m Carl. I’m currently going to school for Media Arts and Game Design, but there’s only so much I can do here…and also, classes can be expensive.

So, I’m taking this Blender course from Udemy to learn how to make 3D Models in the hopes that at the end of it, I’ll be able to make models for games and animation.

Good luck, everyone!

mtjvankuik · August 23, 2016, 11:05pm

I wish you good luck as well!

Brittany_Wolff · August 24, 2016, 1:37am

Hi everyone! My name is Brittany and I recently graduated with a degree in IT. I have been interested in learning some 3d modeling for a while, and I thought this seems like a fun way to do it. I also signed up for the Unity course, and I hope to learn to create my own assets.

Happy learning!

Vahe_Andonians · August 24, 2016, 2:24am

Hi, my name is Vahe. I am a serial entrepreneur having created and sold four companies so far. Just recently I sold a company to a university in Germany. Now I am looking for new ideas through exploring the 3d printing world. I am very excited to see - and maybe participate with a tiny contribution - how the world will change through 3d printing.

GoodDataJoe · August 24, 2016, 11:04am

Hi! I’m Joe, and I’m taking this Blender course to design 3d printable objects.

Miguel_Davalos · August 24, 2016, 5:15pm

Hello all!
I am Miguel and I have little to no game design or 3D modeling experience and am very excited to learn more in this field! I am a traditional artist mostly paintings lately however I would be interested in 3D as well as some game design.

Yarineth_Ramos · August 24, 2016, 5:31pm

Hi! My name is Yarineth Ramos and I’m interested to learn 3D Modelling because I’m software engineer and my dream for the future is to develop a videogame from scratch and then have my own indie game studio. I know how to program them, specially in Unity 5, but I know very little about 3D Modelling, so I want to specialize in that

Manik_Tyagi · August 24, 2016, 9:07pm

Hello,

I am Manik and I am working on a 3-D modeling project where we have to provide a gaming experience to a lab. So a person can walk around in the 3-D modeled lab and do various things. Really excited to learn about the 3-D modeling.

Starskimmer · August 25, 2016, 2:01am

I drift from project to project, but recently i’ve been focusing on a post apocalyptic fantasy zombie survival game…or at least that’s the basics of the idea.(as the whole thing would overload the forum lol) (big idea(s) little ability to implement)
So far i have a default sprite that can walk in a circle in a endless(not) field of grass.
(aka. unreal basic 3d template. lol)

So I’ve picked up this course as well as the code physics course (as i want to include funky gravity and other effects) and the C++ unreal course as that’s the tool i enjoy using(love the graphic coding interface). I tried Unity a while back but I didn’t take to it.

What are you planning on working on? (if you don’t mind me asking )

Bruceifer906 · August 25, 2016, 1:01am

Hello!
My name is Bruce. I am a web developer by trade but I know a bit about 3D using Maya. However, I have no idea how to use Blender and I can’t wait to learn the ins and outs of it and start doing 3D work on the side, even if it is for my own personal projects.

Starskimmer · August 25, 2016, 3:03am

I’d appreciate any help that can be offered. I’ll send you an email with more game details.

McFuzz · August 25, 2016, 12:25pm

Zero experience with 3D Modelling? You’re in the right place! I myself had absolutely no experience with 3D modelling when I started this course this time last year. We all had similar beginnings; my only creative spark and playing with modelling was in videogames until this course.

If you’d ever like to see, or participate in, the fruits of this course, feel free to pop over to our weekly Blender challenge where we pick a topic and make a model or scene about it. There is no minimum skill level required so jump in whenever you’d like some practice between the sections. You can find that over here The Blender Collab; Weekly Themed Gallery (Week 8)

I wish I had the kind of visualization you have, but I’m trying to work on it! Can’t wait to see what you can do, I bet you’ll impress all of us.

ADrunkenPyrate · August 25, 2016, 6:03pm

Hello, all! ADrunkenPyrate here, but you can call me Adam.

My aspirations and goals with this course are to learn how to make 3D model assets for a game idea I’ve had a for a while now that started out as a board game idea, but I feel would do much better on a digital market. I’m also hoping to be able to acquire new trade skills that will help me earn an income as I am disabled and forced to work from home.

I am a complete beginner in the world of 3D modelling and coding, so I look forward to learning with all of those that are the same skill level as myself.

SoundGoddess · August 25, 2016, 8:25pm

Ahh, nice! Your post helps me feel like I came to the right place. One thing that really helped me get better as a musician was this reddit group called Song A Week where they post music challenges with themes.
