This video is for those interested in getting into 3D graphics, specifically for game development. We first look back at the history of the industry itself, then take a look at the state of the world today.
After discussing how the 3D CG application market evolved to where it is today, we go over the various programs available, their strengths and weakness. If you are just starting out and trying to figure out what to learn, this is the perfect video for you! If you are just interested in CG graphics, I hope it's interesting for you as well.
Over the course of the video we discuss 3D Studio Max, Maya, Softimage, Blender, ZBrush, Sculptris, 3D Coat, Modo, Cinema 4D and much more. By the time you are done, you should have a pretty good understanding of all the tools used in the 3D world, as well as their place in game development.
