I will begin with my question and then explain what I want to do. What is the most effeicient combination of software to use externally to aid with game creation in UE4? Alright, so I have been messing about in Unreal Engine for some time now. I have bought 250+ hours worth of tutorials for UE4. I’ve started learning the software more and more everyday. I want to do stuff like 3D design to make actors and such for UE4. I just don’t know what software to use. I’ll put in the time to learn it. There is 3DS Max, maya, mudbox, zbrush, and Blender just to name a few. I am a student so I can get the Autodesk software free if that is best. I might add I’m not worried about audio and other things right now, just 3D stuff. Thanks and I’ll repeat my question here again just to clarify. What is the best combination of software for 3D design to aid game creating in UE4?
If you intend to get into the industry then most studios use Maya or 3ds Max. Blender is fine if you’re looking to save money. If you want to become a character artist then you absolutely have to learn Zbrush.
