I am planning on developing a side scroller “Metroidvania” game. I just about have my main story character built with blender. So far I have blender and ue4.
My question is for faster unique models I have read up on hyper 3D scanner software. Have any of you tried this to make models faster for use for blender or other model software?
Besides that are there any other software I need to make my game minus any music or sound related software (I have my rlf who is a music production major).
You will definitely need photoshop or gimp 
and probably some “mesh generators” -> e.g rock generator (://www.hptware.co.uk/medusa.php), speedtree, tree [d],…
Yeah I forgot I had gimp already for modding other games. That generator is nice and thanks for the reply !
If you really wanted to do 3D scanning, check out David Laserscanner. It works really well, minimum cost is similar to Matterform or Makerbot, but you can end up getting better quality. And if you want to spend a bit more but not too much (like $1,000) you can get a really great setup.
Thnx I’m trying to cut down time to create model’s to put into the game as all artwork, story board, building, coding ( I’d I need unique features ), and research; then I need to make my transition s as smooth as possible!
3D Scanning isn’t so much about making things faster, it’s about making them more accurate, so other solutions might be better.
What other solutions you recommend? I like daz3d but those models can get very expensive over time.
If you want faster solutions for character creation look into Mixamo Fuse and MakeHuman.
I’ll just use the makehuman software and Mixamo Fuse is a good tool to but those prices arent even in my budget as they give too little for a huge price tag! but asw far a rigging and animation what do you guys propose to use?

Use just makehuman that is free. Photoshop is also a good additional tool that can be used accordingly.

makehuman open-source and its free.You can sell makehuman models too.(look to their f.a.q.)
