Welcome to the course.

2
00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:11,860
I wanted to give you some tips and tricks before you begin on how to think like a 3D model.

3
00:00:12,850 --> 00:00:19,030
If you're creating a cartoon style in 3D you can simply squash the shape at the bottom like here with

4
00:00:19,030 --> 00:00:24,100
this cube and it will add vitality and life to the object.

5
00:00:24,130 --> 00:00:31,240
Always make a rough block out first from primitive cubes spheres and cylinders for your 3D object.

6
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,280
Check your model from different angles constantly panning around it.

7
00:00:35,290 --> 00:00:42,730
I would advise to include large middle and small shapes to give you a model contrast by adding a saturated

8
00:00:42,730 --> 00:00:43,810
spot color.

9
00:00:43,810 --> 00:00:46,880
This will make your objects stand out from the background.

10
00:00:46,890 --> 00:00:52,940
I would advise to put a less saturated color next to it to create a visual harmony.

11
00:00:52,990 --> 00:00:58,750
Always consider what the camera view is in your game and concept your ideas and model based on this

12
00:00:59,020 --> 00:01:01,360
is going to save you a lot of time in the long run.

13
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:08,800
If you're not sure how much detail is needed in your 3D object look at its rough silhouette that this

14
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,140
size it will appear in the game.

15
00:01:11,170 --> 00:01:17,380
Ask yourself does it need these extra edge loops or this detail will actually be noticeable at that

16
00:01:17,380 --> 00:01:19,260
size in the game.

17
00:01:19,270 --> 00:01:23,980
I hope these tips have helped you and I'll let Nicole take over now with the rest of the 3D course.

18
00:01:23,980 --> 00:01:26,120
Good luck.
